Pregnant Teen Dies Pregnant Teen Dies Because Doctors Prescribed Ultrasound Viewings Instead of Abortion and Chemotherapy
By Imani Gandy (ABL) August 18th, 2012
In the Dominican Republic, a nine-week pregnant girl was diagnosed with leukemia. The girl’s mother pleaded with doctors to “allow” her daughter to get an abortion so the girl she could begin chemotherapy immediately. “I know abortion is a sin, but my daughter’s health comes first,” she cried.
The doctors responded by forcing her and her daughter to view ultrasounds so the two women could see that the baby was healthy.
Three weeks after the girl was diagnosed, the doctors finally began chemotherapy, but still would not end the pregnancy. Ultimately, the young woman miscarried the pregnancy, hemorrhaged, and died.
She was 16 years old.
