Denver, CO – A verdict was reached late Monday, January 22, 2018, in a Federal medical malpractice case involving late-term abortionist Warren Hern, 79, who was accused of causing injury to a woman, Jennifer D., by failing to complete a 25-week abortion.
It took just two hours and thirty-five minutes for the jury to decide in favor of Hern and against the woman he hurt.
According to the Jury Verdict Form obtained by Operation Rescue, the jury found that Jennifer did indeed suffer injury, but decided Hern was not negligent or the cause of her injury.
Fourteen months after Jennifer’s late-term abortion at Hern’s Boulder Abortion Clinic in 2013, her doctors conducted surgery to remove a 4 cm piece – more than 50% — of her baby’s skull, which was cutting into her uterus and causing health issues. After multiple efforts to remove the fragment resulted in a uterine perforation, a hysterectomy was performed.
Jennifer’s attorneys had argued that if Hern had properly completed the abortion, she would not have ultimately required a hysterectomy.
The Boulder Abortion Clinic was dismissed from the case by Judge Phillip A. Brimmer earlier in the trial.
Hern had argued that if Jennifer had returned to him, he would have successfully removed the skull fragment without need for a hysterectomy – a supposition which was opinion and conjecture. Hern claimed to have successfully removed aborted baby bone fragments from incomplete abortions numerous times.
“This important admission that Hern had left bone fragments in many women during incomplete abortions spoke more to his incompetence than it did to his expertise,” said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman. “It is unbelievable that the jury found leaving half a baby’s skull in the womb was not a negligent act, nor was it responsible for her injuries. It’s like the jury was living in an alternate reality.”
While Operation Rescue is disappointed in the outcome, facts about this incomplete abortion have been brought to the attention of the public.
“The lessons we can learn from this case is that abortion is not safe, and when bad things happen during abortions, as they so often do, there is no guarantee that the abortionist will ever be held accountable,” said Newman. “We must continue to expose abortion horrors so the public can learn the truth about the barbaric nature of child-killing, and we must work to root out the political corruption wherever it is found that is enabling incompetent and negligent abortionists to remain in business.”

God Bless that poor child, and all children so murdered.
Perhaps the jury reasoned that "her doctors" were even more incompetent. Or, perhaps they were unsympathetic toward someone who procured an abortion at 25 weeks, and they didn't wish her to financially profit.
At least she won't be killing any more innocent children in this lifetime.
The members of the jury clearly had their heads up their asses.
Perhaps the stupidest verdict ever.
Still it was a chance to put this doctor and others like him out of business! The jury should have jumped at it! I would have.
Maybe. If he had liability insurance, his insurance company would pay the judgment. Depending on the statute, the “consequence” for a guilty verdict might been a reprimand or a suspension of his license.
And this is only ONE of the reasons why God’s judgment WILL fall on America.
We have been given a reprieve with President Trump for reasons God only knows.
Probably because it’s part of the end times scenarios that need to be set up. Certainly not because of moral considerations of the US.
It amazes me how many women use abortion as birth control.
What can be called wrong in a country where it isn’t considered wrong to kill babies?
My grandson was just born at 29 weeks, he has a 95% chance & is doing very well.
In the US, of 100 babies born at 25 weeks gestation, an average of 25 will die (black figures), and 75 will live to go home (blue figures).

Jennifer D. was negligent or the cause of her own injury for having an abortion in the first place.
Strictly from an economic standpoint, the 10 cents that one would invest in a condom or a dose of bc would be far preferable to a $5000 procedure. It's diabolical on so many fronts.
They end up not paying for the procedure.
It would be interesting to see how many abortions are paid for by Medicaid.
In behavior modification, the ability to change behavior is a function of intensity of reward/punishment and the proximity/distance in time of the reward/punishment. Add alcohol to that as an inhibitor of resistance and you’ve got problems resisting immediate gratification.
Immediate gratification is a strong motivator for the age/income/education level of the typical woman getting an abortion.
I’m very happy your grandson is doing well! Prayers up that he continues to do well and grow into a fine young man.
Thank you. I appreciate your prayers and good thoughts.
