New documents a local CBS television station obtained in the case of a young African-American woman killed in a fatal botched legal abortion show Planned Parenthood waited over five hours before sending the woman to a local hospital for emergency care.
Steve Miller of the CBS news affiliate WBBM has released a new report showing documents released in the botched abortion death of Tonya Reaves that alarmingly shows Planned Parenthood delayed summoning emergency care for the dying woman for five and a half hours after the abortion failed.
At 11:00 a.m. on Friday, Reaves received a second-trimester dilation and evacuation (D&E) abortion at Planned Parenthood, located at 18 S. Michigan Ave. in Chicago. Following the abortion, Reaves began bleeding heavily and it continued at Planned Parenthood for five and a half hours before a Fire Department ambulance finally took her to Northwestern Memorial Hospital at 4:30 p.m., according to Miller.
Then, once the young woman arrived at the hospital, the reports make it appear emergency personnel had to start from scratch to figure out the extent of Reaves injuries.
“Then at 5:30 p.m., doctors performed an ultrasound, and another dilation and evacuation procedure – basically, another abortion – this time at Northwestern,” Miller reports. “But after that, there were then more problems, and pain. That warranted a new ultrasound, and a perforation was discovered. At 10:12 p.m., Reaves was taken back to surgery – and “an uncontrollable bleed was discovered,” documents say.”
Responding to the report, Troy Newman, President of Operation Rescue and Pro-Life Nation, said, “It is clear that Planned Parenthood botched the procedure that resulted in uncontrolled bleeding then failed to treat the hemorrhage while Reaves was at their clinic, allowing her to bleed for over five hours before finally calling for help.”
“There can be no doubt that this delay contributed to her death,” Newman argues. “The injury and the untreated hemorrhage happened at Planned Parenthood and they are solely responsible for it.”
Newman, in a press statement to LifeNews, quotes Dr. James C. Anderson, M.D., a 30-year veteran emergency room doctor who said abortion clinics never informed him about their patients’ conditions.
“I have always had to evaluate the situation, come to my own conclusions, and initiate what I thought was appropriate treatment. This definitely created some time delays that were not in the patient’s best interest,” stated Dr. Anderson. “These delays can have life-threatening implications when dealing with hemorrhage or infection.”
Newman says the lack of information proved fatal for Tonya Reaves.
“Planned Parenthood butchered Tonya Reaves, delayed her access to emergency care, then left the emergency room doctors to figure out what happened to her. By the time they discovered the true extent of her injuries, it was too late to save her life,” said Newman. “Planned Parenthood is trying to minimize their responsibility for Reaves completely avoidable death that appears to have resulted from a combination of their negligence, delay – possibly for the purpose of cover-up – and lack of communication with emergency providers. That abortion clinic is dangerous and should be closed. The abortionist should not be allowed to continue to inflict harm on women and should have his medical license revoked.”
Newman concluded: “We again call on President Obama to stop protecting Planned Parenthood and halt all Federal funding to the abortion giant in order to prevent other women from suffering Tonya Reaves’ fate.”
Reaves’ family has obtained an attorney who is looking into a potential civil lawsuit against Planned Parenthood on the family’s behalf.
In PP’s point of view they got a two-fer. One unviable tissue mass and one undesirable breeder.
Tonya Reeves lies bleeding for five hours at a Planned Parenthood abortuary, and this soulless harpy laments a "tragic development at a nearby hospital."
I think they intended for the actual victim to die.
This development removes all doubt . . . Chicago Planned Parenthood is guilty of negligent homicide.
Actually, the victim of the abortion was never sent to the ER.
Hope they have the crap sued out of them!
I’m sure glad women don’t have to die in those back alley abortions where they use those dratted coat hangars any more; thanks mostly to Democrats, the saviours of the universe! /s
now she will never meet her baby....the baby, after all, will be with God.
They make it sound like an oil & lube at the auto shop, or cut & shave at the barber.
I wonder how many abortions the clinic did in the 5 or so hours this woman was bleeding out. Gawd, what a factory of death.
I dislike these euphemisms.
She was not an abortion victim, she was an abortion perpetrator.
She was a victim of Planned Parenthood's incompetent medical care, but that's a different tureen of seafood.
If the story is to be believed as written, it sounds like the hospital perforated her and not Planned Parenthood. Either that or somebody performed a faulty first ultrasound at Northwestern ER.
And the Feminists constantly rave about how Planned Parenthood brought an end to "women's deaths from botched back alley abortions".
I guess a ‘doctor’ who is no good at healing goes into killing
Good luck.
You don’t know that, only God knows those things. She could have repented in the hours before she died.
I fully believe that...however, I love playing the odds and a person fully willing to kill their child is probably not on the way to confession, a prayer rug, a temple, whatever.
Wow... I had post- partum hemorrhaging after my son was born, I started getting faint after 45 minutes. This is a prime example of the difference between a health care facility and an abortion mill. They shouted how women would die of breast cancer and tooth decay if taxpayers quit supporting PP. I volunteered at a crisis pregnancy center for a while, some of the women there are terribly victimized and scarred for life from a previous abortion. I miss reaching out to them, in the Name of Christ. Treating them like monsterous lepers is not the answer.. wait, Christ touched lepers when no one else would.
