Anniversary: One of a dozen dead women at FPA

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:

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.
