2009: Ohio Death Reported to Authorities

Killed-by-choice notes the death of a woman they call “Fiona.” Her death is noted in a document of reported abortion complications in Ohio in 2009. 

I know of the following women who died from safe, legal abortions in 2009:

• Karnamaya Mongar was overdosed by careless staff at Kermit Gosnell's safe and legal clinic in Pennsylvania.
• Roselle Owens died after a safe and legal abortion at a Planned Parenthood in New York.
• Ying Chen, given such appalling care during a safe and legal California abortion that her death was ruled a homicide.
• Antonesha Ross coughed up blood and died during a safe and legal abortion in Illinois.
• "Yolanda Mantini" died in California during a safe and legal "fetal indications" abortion.
• “Belle” died of raging sepsis, kidney failure and DIC 12 days after a chemical abortion.

And the following women who died from safe, legal abortions in Ohio:

• Elaine Terrell died of an elective abortion at Akron City Hospital in 1973
• Rhonda Ruggiero died of a pulmonary embolism in 1982, less than a month before what would have been her 30th birthday
• Minnie Lathan died of infection after her uterus and colon were injured during a safe, legal abortion in 1978.
• Kathy Davis died at Cleveland Metropolitan General Hospital in 1987
• L’Echelle Renea Head was found unconscious and unresponsive in 2000 and died that same day
• Sandra Milton bled to death in front of her three children after a safe, legal abortion in 1990
• "Carrie" died of multiple organ failure after a safe, legal abortion in 2008.
• Lakisha Wilson died after her safe and legal abortion in 2014 in a clinic that didn't have means to safely evacuate women suffering complications.

Fiona thus hasn't already been covered in this blog. Her death is another needless tragedy.
