| Alexis "Lexi" Arguello |
Operation Rescue is looking into the death of 18-year-old Alexis "Lexi" Arguello, who died from complications of an abortion at the
Fort Collins, CO, Planned Parenthood.
Lexi's grandparents, who were evidently her emergency contacts, described her as kind, caring, and responsible. She had just moved out of the family home into her own apartment. Shortly after the move, Lexi sought care for a urinary tract infection and learned that she was 22 weeks pregnant.
According to what OR has been able to gather so far, Lexi arrived at the Fort Collins Planned Parenthood on February 6, 2025. Planned Parenthood estimated that she was 20 weeks pregnant, but Dr. Keri Kasun, a pharmacist contacted by close family because she was a distant relation, reporting in the Health and Human Services investigative hearing, concluded that Lexi had actually been 22 weeks into her pregnancy.
The Fort Collins PP website indicates that they only do abortions in the facility up to 19 weeks and 6 days. This is a management choice, since Colorado has no restrictions on abortion.
Lexi's grandparents hadn't known about the pregnancy. They weren't contacted until after she was at the hospital. Her grandfather watched as doctors did everything they could to save her, including multiple doses of epinephrine and seven liters of blood. She died as he watched helplessly.
Lexi had evidently suffered an
amniotic fluid embolism (AFE), which triggered
disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC, a clotting disorder). DIC can cause massive, uncontrolled bleeding from even minor breaks in organs, skin, and blood vessels.
It's vital that doctors quickly identify AFE and DIC, and that they take swift measures to confirm the diagnosis and start immediate targeted life-saving procedures.
Dr. Kasun further testified that Lexi "didn't receive the urgency of care that would be required in order to have a chance to survive this condition. Instead, she got the silent siren treatment." She said that Lexi's grandparents relayed to her that Planned Parenthood staff admitted that they delayed calling an ambulance.
Operation Rescue also noted other cases of women sent to the emergency room after abortions at the Fort Collins Planned Parenthood.
More Planned Parenthood Deaths
Alyona Dixon got abortion pills at a Nevada Planned Parenthood in September of 2022. Although research had shown that vaginal administration of misoprostol puts women at risk of sudden onset fatal toxic shock syndrome, Planned Parenthood instructed Alyona to take this risk. She ended up going septic and dying. Her death broke the streak of exclusively dead black woman at Planned Parenthood.
Cree Erwin-Shephard, age 24, suffered internal injuries during an abortion at Planned Parenthood in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Her mother found her cold and stiff in the guest bedroom on the 4th of July, 2016. You can hear her mother's heartbreaking 911 call
here.
Tonya Reaves, age 24, left a one-year-old child motherless when she bled to death in July of 2012 after an abortion at a Chicago Planned Parenthood. Planned Parenthood staff had delayed for four hours before transporting Tonya to a properly equipped hospital. By the time surgery was performed, it was too late to save her
In 2009, 17-year-old
Roselle Owens died from apparent anesthesia complications after an abortion at Planned Parenthood's Margaret Sanger Center in New York. Her family said that the staff had failed to monitor her properly and delayed transport to a properly equipped hospital.
A nurse at a Southern California Planned Parenthood placed laminaria in the cervix of patient
Edrica Goode in 2007 in spite of obvious signs of a vaginal infection. Since laminaria absorb whatever moisture is in the area so that they will expand and dilate the cervix, it's no surprise that the laminaria inserted into Edrica's cervix pulled the infection into her uterus and killed her.
Before Edrica's death, there wasn't the same racial pattern I observed from 2007 to 2022.
Holly Patterson, age 18, died in mid-September of 2003 from sepsis caused by abortion drugs she got at a Planned Parenthood in Hayward, California. Instead of instructing Holly to place the second dose inside her cheek and letting it dissolve, as the FDA instructed, Planned Parenthood told her that she could insert it vaginally. Researchers believe that the vaginal insertion of this second drug makes otherwise healthy young women particularly vulnerable to sudden death from toxic shock syndrome.
Vivian Tran, age 22, and died in late December of 2003, six days into a medical abortion process started at another California Planned Parenthood. Like Holly Patterson, she had been told to use the second drug vaginally instead of placing it in her cheek in keeping with FDA recommendations. Vivian was a young Asian woman.
Irene Stevenson died after an abortion at a Chicago Planned Parenthood in 2002. Planned Parenthood settled out-of-court with her bereaved husband. I have been unable to determine her race.
In 1981 abortion patient
Elise Kalat suffered a severe asthma attack after her abortion at a Massachusetts Planned Parenthood. When the medics arrived to take over Elise's care they found that nobody on site evidently knew how to perform even layman-quality CPR, much less the type of advanced CPR that would be expected of medical professionals.
Far too many women have died from screw-ups and bad judgement at Planned Parenthood. They don't seem to be upholding the standards they want everybody to believe they're upholding.
