After four weeks in coma, she sues abortion clinic
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS ^ | March 1, 2007

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, alleging medical malpractice that seriously injured her. Rasheedah Dinkins, who is still recovering in a hospital, filed suit 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 New Jersey health officials until it corrects the “immediate and serious” risks.

“We expect to get to the bottom of why this incredible results could have happened from such a simple procedure,” her lawyer, Adam Slater, told The Associated Press Thursday morning.

The shutdown order cites problems involving infection control, instruments and equipment used for sterilization.

A woman who answered the telephone at the clinic Thursday said the facility remained closed, but had no other immediate comment. She said a representative of the clinic might comment on the situation later Thursday.

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.

Once there, 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.

The closure is only the second time in the last five years that state health regulators have shut down one of New Jersey’s more than 600 ambulatory care facilities on allegations of deficient care.

Better yet go ask Sharpton and JJ? Urban areas have the highest concentration of abortion clinics - why do you think that is the case?

From the other thread, 10,000 babies die every year at this clinic.

"In 1972, the last year before Roe v. Wade legalized abortion nationwide, CDC counted only 39 deaths from illegal abortions based on surveys of health care providers, medical examiners' reports, state and national records, and news reports."

No, it's just you. Any other irritation is purely incidental. For all you know, I could be looking for multiple titles to the same article purely for your benefit.

and had her uterus removed,

She won't be murdering anymore babies and I hope it haunts her for the rest of her life.

It's like God said, ok, you don't want any babies...granted.

Fortunately they had to remove her uterus. This ignoramus will never get pregnant again. I hope she's happy.

I'm sure the NJ state welfare system is.

if you mean me, xcamel, 'cuz presdio also posted to me, you got it backwards. I assume you mean well, but your repeatedly posting those dup thread posts is what's annoying. Sorry to be so blunt, but there it is.
