Bleeding to Death in the Parking Lot

Since I've already done videos about the three anniversaries I have for today, I was looking for another topic to cover. I found an interesting op-ed on the site of the American Association of Pro-Life Ob/GynsReal Clear Health: Candidates Use Fearmongering to Push Abortion Agenda. This piece mentioned a claim made by North Carolina State Senator Rachel Hunt, a candidate for Lieutenant Governor. The link was broken on the AAPLOG website but I found the article with the quote, Democrat Hunt draws contrast on abortion with Republican Weatherman in race for NC Lt Gov.

I don't know if Senator Hunt is deliberately being dishonest. Certainly she has a responsibility to the voters to vet information and not just parrot it when it's handed off to her by abortion advocates along with their campaign donations. Predictably, she tries to claim that if you can't just snuff fetuses indiscriminately, it will also be illegal for doctors to provide life-saving care any time a pregnant woman is in trouble.

I've covered this issue before, so I'll not belabor the point that even when abortion was universally a criminal act, it was still not prosecuted if it was carried out in a good-faith attempt to save a woman's life. I'm going to cover one quote that I find absolutely disgusting:

"I cannot imagine not being able to get care because you’re afraid, or the doctors are afraid, and they leave you to bleed out in the parking lot.”

Excuse me? You know who is really good at leaving women to bleed out in the parking lot? Abortionists.

Okay, maybe not specifically in the parking lot. But sending women out the door to bleed to death seems to be almost a hobby with these people.

  • December 13, 1996: Bruce Steir, already on probation with the medical board for malpractice, leaves the hemorrhaging Sharon Hamplton in the care of his staff. She is bleeding profusely and too weak to walk. They put her in a wheelchair and push her out to her mother's car. She bleeds to death on the drive home.
  • June 25, 1994: Pamela Colson went to Women's Medical Services in Pensacola, Florida, for a safe, legal abortion performed by Dr. William Keene. He sent Pamela home with her friends. During the ride home they noticed that she was unresponsive. They pulled over to seek help. Bystanders performed CPR in a parking lot while they waited for an ambulance. The laceration Keene had caused was so large that it formed part of the incision doctors used in the emergency hysterectomy performed to try, in vain, to save her life.
  • November 2, 1991: Robert Crist, a highly-reputed National Abortion Federation member physician, performed an abortion on 17-year-old Latachie Veal at West Loop Clinic in Dallas. She bled heavily at the clinic and begged for help, but staff told her that her bleeding was normal and sent her home. Several hours later, she stopped breathing. Her brother-in-law called 911 while her sister performed CPR, but to no avail. Latachie was dead on arrival at Ben Taub Hospital.
  • December 31, 1986: Arnold Bickham notes that 18-year-old Sylvia Moore is too weak to stand up. He calls her "lazy," puts her in a wheelchair, and shoves her out the door. Her mother rushes her to a nearby hospital where efforts to save her life prove futile. 
  • March 16, 1973: Evelyn Dudley undergoes an abortion at Friendship Medical Center in Chicago. She is sent home with an undiagnosed ruptured cervix and vagina. She collapses, hemorrhaging, in her driveway. She is rushed to the hospital where attempts to save her are in vain.
