NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — A Newark woman who said she spent a month in a coma after undergoing an abortion at a Bergen County clinic sued the facility and several doctors there on Thursday.
The lawsuit was filed in Superior Court in Essex County against Metropolitan Medical Associates, an Englewood clinic that performs thousands of abortions a year. The clinic was ordered closed on Tuesday by state health officials until it corrects the "immediate and serious" risks.
Rasheedah Dinkins, who is still recovering in a hospital, said she regrets having ended her pregnancy.
"I think it's horrible what I had to go through," she told The Associated Press from her hospital bed Thursday morning. In retrospect, she added, "I probably wouldn't have made this choice."
...Dinkins said she was told by her mother and personnel at the hospital that she actually died in the ambulance on the way there, and was revived en route to the facility.
Dinkins, 20, felt ill after undergoing the abortion, and had to be rushed to a hospital by ambulance after she passed out at her home, her family said.
..."I was laying in my bed and I got the cold shakes," Dinkins said. "My body kept going numb. After that, I don't remember anything."
At the hospital, she was given blood transfusions and had her uterus removed, Slater said. The attorney also said Dinkins suffered a stroke due to serious blood loss, and one of her lungs collapsed.

Bump
It's hard to work up any sympathy for the women.
And the baby? The mother is recovering, but how's the baby doing?
How many of these "incidents" do we NOT hear about?
I don't seem to recall seeing statistics on just how many women/girls have suffered from complications FROM their "choice"
You know, it's tough generating much sympathy for a woman who thought she was merely murdering her child and is now upset to learn she endangered herself as well.
I'm not going to post my preferred reply to that.
The government will pay the settlement.
"I think that it's horrible what I had to go through" she said. Hmmm. I'd take what she went through over what her baby went through.
At least they removed her uterus so this can't happen again.
"'I think it's horrible what I had to go through,' she told The Associated Press from her hospital bed Thursday morning."
Probably a bit tougher on your unborn child.
"In retrospect, she added, 'I probably wouldn't have made this choice.'"
It's a shame your child couldn't make a similar choice.
But, but, but, NARAL said that "back alley atrocities" would never against happen once abortion is legal.
The only difference is that the butchers have come out of the "back alley" and now perform their atrocities out in public.
The baby is unavailable for comment at the moment.
And yet politicians believe that parents should not be notified when a minor daughter goes to have an abortion.
You hit the nail on the head right there!
When their daughter dies while murdering their grandchild are parents going to be kept in the dark as to what really happened?

Wow, 10,000 Rudy's per year?
Ha! If they only knew.
Let's pray that she has a change of heart and becomes a loud, visible opponent of abortion.
Let's also pray for her salvation.
