Anniversary: Laniece Dorsey

Seventeen-year-old Laniece Dorsey underwent an abortion at a Family Planning Associates Medical Group facility in Orange County, California, on February 6, 1986. FPA is a National Abortion Federation member facility. 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; and Chanelle Bryant, age 22, 2004. Allred's facilities remain members of the National Abortion Federation despite these deaths.
