August 5, 2008: Another Newly-Discovered Planned Parenthood Death

When the Chicago Tribune was investigating the lack of records, Carole Brite, then president of Planned Parenthood of Illinois, could not confirm if they had reported Irene Stevenson's 2002 abortion death, since the records were in storage, but did say that they reported a patient's 2008 death. 

My research arm, Keely, found a wrongful death lawsuit against planned Parenthood: Estate of Bonnie Hunt vs. Planned Parenthood. Bonnie died at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago at the age of 44 on August 5, 2008. Bonnie's mother sued Dr. Lori Gawron, Dr. Caroline Hoke, Northwestern hospital, Dr. Melissa Pendergrass, Planned Parenthood, Dr. Catherine Stika, and Dr. Lori Weinberg. It's common in abortion malpractice cases to have no idea who the doctor was so the plaintiff has to sue every doctor who works at the facility in order to determine who was responsible for the woman's death.

According to her obituary, Bonnie left behind three children.

Gawron is an abortionist based at a Planned Parenthood in Salt Lake City, Hoke is an abortionist that works at at least two Planned Parenthoods in Illinois. Stika works at a "family planning" clinic associated with Ryan Center at University of Chicago, so she's likely also an abortionist. I can't find Pendergrass or Weinberg on the AbortionDocs site so they are likely affiliated with the hospital.

The other Planned Parenthood deaths I have in my records are Elise Kalat in 1987, Diana Lopez in 2002, Holly Patterson and Vivian Tran in 2003, Edrica Goode in 2007, Roselle Owens in 2009, Tonya Reaves in 2012, and Cree Erwin-Shephard in 2016.
