Difficulties in Reporting Maternal Deaths From Legal Abortion II

Maternal Deaths

3. The hidden travel identification. About a third of women having abortions traveled to another state to have this procedure. If upon returning home died as a result of abortion, it is very difficult to find out where they performed the abortion as the reason for his trip was to remain anonymous. In such cases, the state where the woman lived not report the abortion. Dr. Matthew Bulfi describes the case of a woman whose husband found her dead in the bathroom because he was bleeding a legal abortion was performed in another state using data ficticios21.

4. Poverty and ignorance. A large percentage of women who die from legal abortion are poor and / or belong to minorities. Your family or friends know the law, fear or distrust the legal system and therefore it did not report these cases or when they do, they are not taken into account. On December 19, 1995, Carolina Gutierrez underwent a legal abortion clinic Maber Medical Center in Miami, Florida. Soon after, the young Nicaraguan 21 years called the clinic to report that he was suffering intense pain, but even heeded him. Two days later he lay in a coma at Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami, with a perforated uterus. Doctors amputated both his legs to try to save his life, but the February 5, 1996 Carolina died, leaving behind two orphans and a disconsolate widower, who wanted his wife to abort or knew that he planned to do so. However, the State of Florida authorized the clinic to renew your license to expire in June 199 622.

5. Lack of research. Nobody has been able to make a full inquiry into the cases of medical negligence in the practice of legal abortions, and that ways of reporting these cases vary from state to state. For example, the courts of the State of New York do not have files lawsuits against those who perform abortions. Therefore, physicians who perform abortions are protected from research into their pre-litigation files. Many counties (areas that divide the states), no data kept on file of people who die from medical malpractice.
