New York Abortionist Investigated for Abortion Death

NEW YORK, Feb. 23, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com) – The pro-life group that filed a complaint against New York abortionist Salomon Epstein after the abortion death of Alexandra Nunez, a single mother of four, has been notified that the abortionist is now under investigation.

The investigation, which is being conducted by the Office of Professional Medical Conduct, is the result of a complaint filed by Operation Rescue staff person Tara Shaver.

Nunez died on January 25, 2010, after an abortionist severed an artery during her abortion. The injury led to massive bleeding and eventually cardiac arrest. Nunez was rushed to a nearby hospital where she died. The abortion clinic, A-1 Women’s Center, is located in a predominately Hispanic neighborhood in a run-down building that doubles as a plastic surgery center.

After Nunez’s death, an unidentified clinic worker told reporters that everything had “gone well” at the abortion clinic. “Nothing happened here,” she said.

“Just one look at the A-1 Women’s Center and it is easy to guess why this happened. I wouldn’t take my dog there,” said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman.

“Nasty little abortion clinics like this spring up in Hispanic and Black neighborhoods in order to prey on vulnerable women instead of offering them real solutions and hope. We are glad to do our part to protect women from dangerous and predatory abortion mills like this one. May the investigation result in its permanent closure.”
