But don’t expect to hear that from Planned Parenthood:
California health regulators have taken action against a Riverside Planned Parenthood clinic for failing to report an abortion patient’s death in a timely manner…
Edrica Goode, 21, of Riverside died Feb. 14 of toxic shock syndrome at Riverside County Regional Medical Center. In a lawsuit, her mother, Aletheia Meloncon, alleges that the Planned Parenthood clinic and medical center showed negligence in treating Goode.
The state Department of Health Services issued a “deficiency” finding June 29, saying that “based on medical record reviews and staff interviews, the facility failed to report an unusual death occurrence involving a patient’s death within 24 hours to the department.”
The clinic is required to submit a plan of correction to the state within 10 days, said Lea Brooks, a Department of Health Services spokeswoman. The regulators did not fault the clinic’s patient care.
The department is also investigating to see whether Goode received proper care at the medical center, Brooks said…
The lawsuit alleges that a nurse inserted cervical dilators, which are used to gradually expand the cervix in preparation for second-trimester abortions, despite the presence of an infection.
The dilators spread the infection to the rest of her body, the suit alleges.

One Comment on “Women Still Die From “Safe, Legal” Abortions”
What kills me is that all they found fault with was that PP didn’t promptly report the death. The fact that they killed her evidently isn’t as serious.
BTW, if they didn’t report her death to the health department, what are the odds that they told the Centers for Disease Control? Anybody want to give odds on the CDC even counting her as an abortion death?
