BY LifeSiteNews.com WICHITA, Kansas, September 16, 2005 (LifeSiteNews.com) ¬ A delay in receiving care is to blame for the death of a teenage girl after an abortion went awry at the notorious late-term abortuary of abortionist “Tiller the killer,” George R. Tiller, according to an autopsy report released August 24.The autopsy report for the 19-year-old Texas teen, Christin A. Gilbert, who died in January after a botched abortion at Tiller’s Women’s Health care Services, stated that she “died as a result of complication of a therapeutic abortion,” according to an Operation Rescue West report. “Most likely the mechanism of death is sepsis.”Christin, who had Down’s syndrome, was a victim of sexual abuse suffered in 2004. On January 10, 2005 Tiller injected Digoxin into the 28-week old unborn baby’s heart after her family brought her for the late-term abortion. She was sent to a local hotel to await delivery of the dead child. After a “D&C” on January 11 Christin was sent back to her hotel where her health began to deteriorate. On January 12, Tiller gave her I-V fluids for suspected dehydration, although the sepsis was already at an advanced stage. After aspirating her own vomit and having periods of unconsciousness, Christin’s family again brought her back to Tiller early on January 13. At WHCS, “she became unresponsive,” according to the autopsy report. “At 8:48 AM on Thursday, January 13, a 911 call was placed by Tiller employee Marguerite Reed, who was evasive with the dispatcher and placed him on hold for 45 critical seconds while she inquired about how much she should tell him,” the OR report described. “Reed pleaded with the 911 dispatcher, ‘Please, please, please! No lights, no sirens!’ Reed clearly downplayed the true nature of Gilbert’s rapidly deteriorating condition. Sensing no urgency, emergency responders arrived on the scene at 8:57 AM, a full nine minutes after the call was placed.”“Upon arrival, the ambulance crew spent 15 minutes treating Gilbert’s dire condition, which included cardiac arrest, from which she was resuscitated, and cessation of respiration,” the OR report continued. “At 9:14 AM Gilbert was transported via ambulance with all haste to Wesley Medical Center’s Emergency Room, and arrived at 9:18 AM after a four minute ambulance ride.” She died later that afternoon.“Christin was an innocent victim in every sense,” OR emphasized. “Because she was Down’s Syndrome, she was not legally capable of making choices for herself. She was taken advantage of sexually by a predatory male who has yet to be brought to justice. When her pregnancy was discovered, she was taken for an abortion by her family. When she was found to have suffered complications from the abortion, she was not treated promptly.”“Upon her death, the Kansas State Board of Healing Arts refused to discipline George Tiller, the abortionist responsible for her injuries,” the OR report continued. “The Governor has taken steps to quiet the controversy involving Gilbert’s tragic demise and the Kansas Legislature failed to override a veto on a bill that would have provided strict regulations that may have prevented Gilbert’s death. Tiller has taken action to block Kansas Attorney General Phill Kline from gaining access to medical records that may reveal more cases of misconduct like Gilbert’s.”“Christin was raped in Texas and killed in Kansas, yet all the authorities can do is sanitize her autopsy report, block investigators, and refuse to discipline those involved in victimizing this innocent woman,” said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman.Read the OR report:http://www.operationrescue.org/tv http://www.lifesitenews.com/news/autopsy-reveals-a-delay-in-care-responsible-for-teens-botched-abortion-deat/
