Alexandra Nunez, a 37-year old
single mother of four, died after an abortion Monday at the A-1 Women’s Center in New York City.
Police, who are continuing to investigate the death, said that the abortionist severed an artery during Nunez’s
abortion, leading to massive bleeding and eventually cardiac arrest. Nunez was rushed to a nearby hospital where she died.
A-1 Women’s Center, located in a run-down building in a predominately Hispanic neighborhood of Jackson
Heights, was only recently licensed in July of last year to do surgical procedures that required anesthesia. It is operated
by abortionist Salomon Epstein, who has a long history of being protested by pro-life groups.
According
to the NY Daily News an unidentified clinic worker told reporters that everything had “gone well” at the abortion
clinic, which also doubles as a plastic surgery center. “Nothing happened here,” she said.
“Nothing happened there – except fatal injuries during a botched abortion which cost a woman her life,”
said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman in response.
“It is so typical of abortion
clinics to hide the truth, but this time, the truth is out,” he continued. “The clinic is under investigation,
and we will be forwarding information about this tragedy to the New York State Medical Board and demand disciplinary action
against the abortionist.”
