“Tess” was 21 and pregnant with her third baby when she was subjected to extreme negligence by an abortion facility.
Tess didn’t know that her pregnancy was ectopic, a diagnosis that should have been obvious with a competent pre-op exam and ultrasound. She was estimated to be 4 to 6 weeks pregnant and underwent a surgical abortion by sharp curettage or D&C. The facility didn’t notice anything was wrong, and nobody ordered a pathology report for the remains. Had the remains— or lack of them— been adequately examined, the absence of a corpse should have been a glaring indicator for a possible ectopic pregnancy.
Nine days later, Tess bled to death. Her autopsy confirmed that her left fallopian tube was ruptured and she had suffered severe internal bleeding before dying. All of it was preventable.
As Dr. Wendy Recant, the director of surgical pathology at Michael Reese Hospital, said to the Chicago Sun-Times after another death caused by the same circumstances, “It would be the grossest kind of malpractice to miss one ectopic pregnancy and one woman went home and bled to death.” Yet many others continue to experience the same negligence at abortion facilities today. A few other examples are the deaths of Tia Parks, Brenda Vise, Angela Satterfield, Magnolia Thomas, Gladyss Estanislao, Laura Sorrels, Janyth Caldwell, Yvette Poteat, Nancy Hopper, Sherry Emry, Josefina Garcia, Lynette Wallace, Claudia Caventou, Barbara Dillon, Doris Grant, “Denise Roe,” “Ella Roe,” “Kristy Roe,” “Shayna Roe,” “Skye Roe,” "Evelyn Roe," "Ava Roe” and “Tanya Roe.”
