The coroner's preliminary report put in writing what Monty Patterson says he already knew in his heart: His 18-year-old daughter, Holly, died Sept. 17 of complications from a drug-induced abortion.

His daughter didn't have to die, Patterson said in an interview Saturday. The Alameda County Coroner's Office had released a preliminary autopsy report the day before.

``Yes, Holly died of septic shock, which was caused by endomyometritis, which was caused by an abortion pill,'' Patterson said. ``But we're dancing around the issues.''

Planned Parenthood's Web site says mifepristone is effective 92 percent to 95 percent of the time.

``What about the other 8 percent?'' Patterson asked. ``Would you go on a 747 knowing it'd crash 8 percent of the time?'' Although Planned Parenthood's Web site allows that mifepristone is ineffective as often as 8 percent of the time, it is not clear how often serious complications occur. <

The boyfriend sounds like a total moral bankrupt. If he'd cared he'd demanded full service by a real doctor at the hospital to patch the damage. But, then again, what would he know ~ groups like Planned Parenthood preach constantly that men should not be part of the abortion process.

Most likely he didn't mention the pregnancy situation when he took his girlfriend to the hosptial anyway.

There are, as he well knows, other girls, healthy girls, who can provide him what he wants, and Planned Parenthood's malpractice will simply not interfere with his life in the slightest because PP's propaganda affiliates will make sure nothing is known of the risk they pose for pregnant women.

Planned Parenthood should also make sure to mention to young women that having multiple sex partners and having sex at a young age are associated with an increased risk of getting cervical cancer.

I've wondered for a while now whether RU-486 won't be taken off the market not by law but by lawsuits.
