The current sordid connection between Kermit Gosnell and the National Abortion Federation is just the most recent link in a long chain of inexcusable behavior by NAF.
National Abortion Federation Promises - Screen capture of assurance of safe, quality care on National
- Abortion Federation web site. It reads:
- "What is a NAF Clinic? NAF is the professional association of
- abortion providers in North America. .... In order to become a member,
- a clinic must complete a rigorous application process. Member clinics
- have agreed to comply with our standards for quality and care....
- NAF periodically conducts site visits to confirm that our clinics
- are in compliance with our guidelines.
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 theanesthesia, 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:
- Denise Holmes, age 24, 1970
- Patricia Chacon, age 16, 1984
- Mary Pena, age 43, 1984
- Josefina Garcia, age 37, 1985
- Joyce Ortenzio, age 32, 1988
- Tami Suematsu, age 19, 1988
- Susan Levy, age 30, 1992
- Deanna Bell, age 13, 1992
- Christina Mora, age 18, 1994
- Kimberly Neil, 2000
- Chanelle Bryant, age 22, 2004
Allred's facilities remain members of the National Abortion Federation despite these deaths.
