Anesthesia Given with No Safeguards in Abortion Clinic

This quote is from Achieving Peace in the Abortion War” by Rachel M MacNair, Ph.D., published by the Feminism & Nonviolence Studies Association January 2009. (http://www.fnsa.org/apaw/)

60 Minutes did a piece called “Suzanne Logan’s Story,” about health hazards at a Maryland clinic. Ms. Logan was brain-damaged and would spend the rest of her short life in a nursing home due to anesthesia complications. She died there on December 1, 1992, after the story ran. The report showed her attorney, Patrick Malone, saying:

“The anesthesia was given without any monitoring whatsoever, without an anesthesiologist present, without a nurse anesthetist present, without the normal safeguards that are part of standard modern American medical care. I’ve seen a lot of cases, and met a lot of doctors, and reviewed a lot of records, and I’ve never seen anything like this.”
