Another installment of "Abortion is a Shady Business":
New York, NY (LifeNews.com) -- A New York woman has apparently died as a result of a failed abortion done at the A-1 Women's Care abortion center located in the Jackson Heights section of Queens. Reports indicate emergency officials responded to an emergency call from the A1 Medicine facility at 95-45 Roosevelt on Monday afternoon.
WPIX-TV indicates a woman in her 30s was reportedly undergoing heavy bleeding and was rushed to Elmhurst Hospital Center where she was later pronounced dead.
The television station indicates an investigation into the failed abortion is ongoing and that one question officials are examining is whether the center was licensed to do abortions.
Another local media outlet, 1010 WINS, indicated the abortion practitioner severed an artery during the abortion procedure.
The A-1 Women's Care abortion business does abortions but advertises gynecology and plastic surgery on the sign located outside the building.
No one from the abortion business answered the phone when LifeNews.com contacted it for information or a quote about this story.
The New York state department of health lists A1 Medicine as a facility for plastic surgery accredited by The Joint Commission on July 13, 2009.
Other media reports indicate the second-floor office specializes in plastic surgery, laser wrinkle surgery, skin depigmentation and liposuction but does abortions as well.
Local news agencies indicated the center was still taking appointments for abortions.
This failed abortion comes after a California medical board said an abortion practitioner who killed a woman last year in a botched abortion must stop doing them. However, to the chagrin of pro-life advocates, a judge did not revoke the medical license of Andrew Rutland, as happened years ago before reinstating it.
Rutland surrendered his license in October 2002 after a two-year state investigation that resulted in accusations of negligence, misconduct and incompetence in his treatment of 20 pregnant women, newborns and gynecological patients
Rutland faced a Thursday hearing in front of the California Medical Board at a hearing in San Diego after documents showed Rutland killed a woman during an abortion by administering anesthesia to her and not knowing the proper dosage.
A judge ordered Rutland to stop doing abortions until a more thorough hearing on the case could be held.
Somebody should do a study about the rate of deaths causes by abortionists as compared to other health professionals and surgeons. That would be an interesting study. It would be expressed as something like 10 deaths per 1000 abortionists per year, vs heart surgeons who have 25 deaths per 1000 surgeons per year.
