| Laniece Dorsey, Legal Abortion Death | |
Seventeen-year-old Laniece Dorsey underwent a safe and legal abortion at a Family Planning Associates Medical Group facility in Orange County, California, on February 6, 1986. FPA is a National Abortion Federation member facility. Laniece lapsed into a coma, was transferred to a nearby hospital, and died later that day. The Orange County Sheriffs Department medical examiner blamed the death on cardiorespiratory arrest due to the anesthesia, although he also found a thick adherent layer of fibrinous material containing moderate numbers of inflammatory infiltrates in Lanieces uterus. Laniece wasn't the first or last young woman to die from abortion at a facility owned by FPA head honcho Edward Campbell Allred. Others include:
Allred's facilities remain members of the National Abortion Federation despite these deaths.
