Planned Parenthood of Illinois issued a statement Sunday following the death of 24-year-old Chicago woman who recently underwent an abortion at one of its clinics in the South Loop.
Tonya Reaves died Friday after she began to hemorrhage, according to the Cook County medical examiner’s office. Her death was ruled an accident.
The pregnancy and “cervical dilation and evacuation,” which is a technical term for abortion, that she received at the Planned Parenthood clinic, 18 S. Michigan Ave. were listed as contributing factors in her death.
The victim’s twin sister told WBBM Newsradio that her family is demanding answers.
“It happened so fast,” said Toni Reaves. “She was just fine one day -- and then the next day she was gone. We’re just trying to figure out what happened.”
When reached Sunday night, Reaves’ family declined to comment further.
In a statement, Planned Parenthood of Illinois President and CEO Carole Brite offered condolences.
“While legal abortion services in the United States have a very high safety record, a tragedy such as this is devastating to loved ones and we offer our deepest sympathies,” Brite said. “Planned Parenthood of Illinois cares deeply about the health and safety of each and every patient.”
Less than 0.3 percent of abortion patients experience complications that require hospitalization, according to the Guttmacher Institute, a pro-abortion rights group that focuses on sexual and reproductive health research.

“Please pay no attention to the deaths we cause, we have one facility somewhere that offers life-saving cancer screenings and Mitt Romney wants to eliminate funding! Women could die if Romney is elected president!”
They should just classify it as a “very late term” abortion. That would make it A-OK with the liberals at least.
Why do they call it ‘Planned Parenthood’?
It has nothing to do with planning and everything to do with avoiding being a Parent.
This modern day Molech exists to make money and sacrifice the lives of the innocent unborn who have no voice. What is one more death to them other than bad publicity. Yeah, they are sorry alright. Empty words to them.
Since Romney is about as enthusiastic for abortion as Margaret Sanger, why would Planned Barrenhood worry about Romney??? He is absolutely their kind of “Republican.”
Doesn’t matter. The republicans could nominate Betty Ford and they would call her a woman-killing hater.
Half of abortion victims are baby “women.” Betty Ford, in addition to being about as “Republican” as George McGovern and noted memorably by Bill Buckley in 1976 as a total airhead, was therefore a “woman-killing” hater as are most GOP-E women and virtually all Demonrat women.
