A lawsuit against abortionist Martin Ruddock has been filed by a woman identified only as SS. This is what the lawsuit says:
In her suit filed in the Cuyahoga County Court of Common Please, S.S maintained that on the first day of what was to be a three-day abortion procedure at Ruddock’s Center for Women’s Health, she was told to sign six informed consent forms before she ever saw Ruddock. This was in direct violation of Ohio law that mandates that a physician must meet with a patient at least 24 hours prior to an abortion in order to provide the patient with certain disclosures about the abortion procedure.
She was then told that on the first and second days of the procedure, Ruddock would insert dilators, known as laminaria, into her cervix and that the abortion would be completed on the third day.
However, instead of waiting 24 hours after consent was given, as required by law, Ruddock began the abortion that same day by inserting three laminaria sticks into the patient’s cervix.
S.S. found this process extremely painful and caused her to have second thoughts about the abortion. She asked Ruddock to stop the abortion.
However, Ruddock refused. He wrongly told her that it was too late for him to stop. He indicated that it not possible for her to withdraw her consent once the procedure began. He also told her that her water had already broken and that if she stopped the abortion, her baby would be born mentally retarded.
Because of this, S.S allowed him to continue inserting the laminaria, a process described in legal papers as “painful and frightening.”
What S.S. did next literally saved her child’s life.
Instead of returning to Ruddock the next day, she went to another doctor who successfully removed the laminaria.
Imagine her surprise when the legitimate doctor informed her that her water indeed had not broken! What Ruddock told her to coerce her into continuing the procedure was simply not true.
The case has gone through 3 Different Court rulings, several of them reversing the ones before. To find out more about the suit, go here.
