OMAHA, September 4, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) - As pro-lifers protested on Saturday at the Omaha home of Planned Parenthood abortionist Meryl Severson, news broke that Severson is being sued by a 40-year old woman whose abortion he botched.
The woman, who filed the suit Friday under the pseudonym "Jane Roe," alleges that Severson so severely botched her abortion that she lost 80% of her total blood volume and required an emergency hysterectomy to save her life.
According to the complaint, the woman reported to the Lincoln Planned Parenthood office on August 17, 2007, for an abortion in the 8th week of pregnancy. During the suction abortion, she felt a sharp, excruciating pain and asked abortionist Severson to stop. Three employees then held the woman down while he completed the suction process in spite of her pleas.
In the recovery area, a friend who accompanied her to the abortion clinic attempted to help her to the bathroom, but the woman, who was in intense pain and bleeding, passed out and suffered the first of three seizures.
The woman was transported by ambulance to the local hospital where doctors treated her for "catastrophic perforation" of the uterus, which would have resulted in her death if treatment had been delayed any longer.
"This is yet another horror story from a Planned Parenthood abortion mill," said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman. "How many women has this happened to that have not filed lawsuits? When we see stories like this, we know it is just the tip of the iceberg."
Severson lives in Omaha, but splits his time between three abortion mills in Lincoln, Nebraska; Council Bluffs and Sioux City, Iowa.
Larry Donlan of Rescue the Heartland led the protest at Severson's home that included one of Operation Rescue's Truth Trucks, which circled through the neighborhood showing the consequences of abortion.
"People need to be aware that when they walk into a Planned Parenthood abortion clinic, they may not walk out," said Newman.
And 100% of her child.
A legal abortion is a safe abortion. Or so I’ve been told.
She must be really proud of her actions to take on a fake name...
My own cold-hearted opinion - if you are willing to take the life of your unborn child, you should be willing to stand up for your decision and not hide. And when you consider that a big part of R vs. W was decided on privacy issues -----
A man who CONTINUES to have intercourse with a woman who consented to let him insert but has changed her mind is called a rapist. Does that make this a forced abortion?
I'm so disillusioned now.
No doubt, PP will spin it such that the patient will be at fault (or, she'll just be accused of being a plant for the Christian right). Blame the victim, the lib MO.
Abortion is a selfish act. It is an attempt at a “do over” in life. There is supposed to be “no shame” in free love (the sex positive agenda of Kinsey-Reich-and the Feminist movement wants to end all moral judgements over sexual pairings regardless of sex, age, relation, marital status, number, or species of partner) but they are still not proud of their decision (a few call it a sacrament; their children should be privey to the information their their mother terminated their siblings).
They want to pretend that it never happened, much as the women who carry their babies to term who dump them in a trash can do (they’ve gone all the way with their pregnancy, why not just put him/her up for adoption?).
It is a permanent solution to a temporary “problem”.
“”People need to be aware that when they walk into a Planned Parenthood abortion clinic, they may not walk out,” said Newman.”
For sure at least one won’t come out alive. The little kids who have no say in the matter, always end up a bloody mess in a steel sink.
These murder for hire crews are not all the stupid, thats why you pay up front or no procedure will be performed.
I suspect that many, many women using Planned Parenthood have had disastrous complications. You will never read about the number of women who have become infertile due to botched abortions. It’s just not PC. The MSM will always protect Planned Parenthood from any scrutiny.
Planned Parenthood - nearly 100% fatal to at least 50% of the humans that enter.
This is not the first case where I have heard that a woman asked to leave, and they held her down. Some “choice”, huh?
I don’t understand why more women don’t sue after a trip to the E.R. ...
Here is the abortion clinic’s defense
Abortion is completely safe but if you get hurt, you knew it was a dangerous procedure.
