October 30, 1991: Doctor-Recommended Abortion Kills Young Woman

SUMMARY: Anjelica Duarte, age 21, died October 30, 1991 after an abortion performed by Larry Thompson at Women's Place Clinic in Las Vegas, NV.

On October 30, 1991, 21-year-old Anjelica R. Duarte, a married Mexican immigrant, underwent an abortion by Dr. Larry Thompson at Women's Place Clinic in Las Vegas, Nevada. She was five months pregnant, according to her friend, Sandra Santiago.

According to Sandra, Anjelica had sought an abortion because a doctor had recommended that she delay having another baby for five years due to health problems. Anjelica already had a three-year-old daughter and a one-year-old daughter.

After the abortion, Anjelica was kept under observation for several hours, but was not given any care. Sandra, who had accompanied Anjelica to the clinic, said that the first she knew that anything was wrong when, several hours after the abortion, she saw clinic staff performing CPR on her friend.

Anjelica was rushed to Lake Mead Hospital by paramedics at 7:30 that evening. When she arrived, "She was comatose and her eyes were dilated," hospital spokesman Jack London told the Las Vegas Review-Journal. "The emergency room physicians immediately went to work, and every attempt was made to revive her, but it was not successful. She was shortly pronounced dead. A hospital spokesman said that she had lost 90 percent of her blood; her uterus had been perforated.

In reviewing the case, the medical board noted that Thompson did not have adequate equipment for post-operative care, and demonstrated "an entire disregard for and indifference to the safety" of his patient. They revoked his license. No charges were filed against him.

According to Grok AI, Thompson moved to California after losing his Nevada license and attempted to regain privileges, but he was denied. He died some time in the early 2000s.

Anjelica's was not the only tragic death caused by doctors who recommended (or excused) abortion as a life-saving or health-preserving option for the mother:

  • Allegra Roseberry was pushed into an abortion in order to obtain experimental cancer treatment.
  • Barbara Hoppert died after an abortion recommended due to a congenital heart problem.
  • Christin Gilbert died after an abortion George Tiller held was justified on grounds of maternal health.
  • Erika Peterson died in 1961 when her doctors obtained her husband's permission to perform a "therapeutic" abortion.
  • "Molly" Roe died in 1975 when her doctors made the dubious decision to perform a saline abortion to improve her chances of surviving a lupus crisis.

Veteran pro-life investigator Kevin Sherlock asks people of good will to help him have Planned Parenthood prosecuted for profiteering from the rapes and incests of underage girls many thousands of times each year.

Sherlock has  pulled the police records of hundreds of cities and has pulled the child protective services records of multiple states to prove Planned Parenthood staffers are violating mandated reporting laws designed to protect girl victims.   But there is more to be done. Sherlock will make sure more and more evidence gets to federal and state prosecutors who care about protecting girls from abusers and profiteers.

Sherlock has talked to many girls and young women who trust him. Their stories and the forensic evidence shows most of them undergo pill abortions or humiliating invasive surgical abortions due to fear or ignorance or pressure or coercion. He treats the girls or women carrying children or devastated from their abortions as friends and neighbors in his home town, not afterthoughts.

Thank you for doing what you can to help girls and fight sexual predators and rape profiteers.
