Safe-n-Legal Anniversaries: F.S. and Laniece Dorsey

A 16-year-old girl underwent a second-trimester salilne abortion on August 26, 1969. A journal article on her death identifies her as 'F.S.' Life Dynamics identifies her as 'Fay' on their 'Blackmun Wall' as having been killed by a legal abortion.

F.S. developed an infection and symptoms of meningitis after her abortion. She continued to be treated for ten days before she was transferred to another hospital in San Francisco for further treatment.

Doctors performed two heart valve replacements of F.S., and had scheduled her for yet another before she died on March 6, 1970. The cause of death was severe congestive heart failure and pneumonia.

Seventeen-year-old Laniece Dorsey underwent an abortion at a Family Planning Associates Medical Group facility in Orange County, California, on February 6, 1986. Laniece lapsed into a coma, was transferred to a nearby hospital, and died later that day.

The Orange County Sheriff'’s Department medical examiner blamed the death on cardiorespiratory arrest due to the anesthesia, although he also found a '“thick adherent layer of fibrinous material containing moderate numbers of inflammatory infiltrates'” in Laniece'’s uterus.

Laniece wasn't the first or last young woman to die from abortion at a facility owned by FPA head honcho Edward Campbell Allred. Others include:

Allred's facilities remain members of the National Abortion Federation despite these deaths.
