Woman Sues After Botched-Abortion Horror
A 25-year-old New York woman is suing Planned Parenthood, claiming the facility botched her abortion and then abandoned her afterwards, leaving her with weeks of pain and blood loss — and then, a premature delivery of her baby.
In 2020, Nakara Alston tried to undergo an abortion at Upper Hudson Planned Parenthood in Albany, when she was eight weeks pregnant. At the time, she was living in a domestic abuse facility with her two daughters, having just escaped a violent relationship. After the abortion, a physician’s assistant examined the supposed fetal remains, and said the abortion had been completed. Alston was sent on her way — but she was still pregnant.
Over the next three months, Alston frantically tried to get help as her bleeding worsened, all the while with no idea that she still had a living baby in her womb. Alston’s attorney Lewis B. Oliver said staff at Planned Parenthood, St. Peters Health Partners, and Albany Medical Center failed to give Alston proper health care. . .
After realizing she was still pregnant, Alston reached out to Planned Parenthood again, but only got their voicemail. When they did call her back, they told her it wasn’t possible for her to be pregnant, because the abortion had been committed successfully. . .
At 22 weeks pregnant, she came back to the emergency room again at St. Peter’s, and an ultrasound showed that her amniotic fluid had drained completely — her water had broken. She was then told that doctors at Albany Med could commit abortions, but that no doctors at St. Peter’s would deliver a baby that premature, so she was transferred to Albany Med. A dilation and evacuation (D&E) was recommended; in this procedure, the cervix is forcibly dilated over one to two days, before the preborn child is torn apart limb from torso.
