Abortion butchers

Michelle Malkin's latest column mentions a couple of heinous examples of the butchery committed in the name of "choice":
In Washington, D.C., the family of 13-year-old Shantese Butler filed a $50 million suit against Planned Parenthood after a botched abortion left the girl permanently injured and infertile. Students for Life of America reports that Shantese was left with “severe abdominal bleeding, severe vaginal injury, severe injury to the cervix, significant uterine perforation, and a small bowel tear.” In addition, parts of the unborn child were found inside Shantese’s abdomen.
In Nebraska, Planned Parenthood refused to disclose the terms of a settlement with another victim whose botched abortion resulted in a perforated uterus, massive blood loss, an emergency hysterectomy, permanent infertility, seizures, and lifelong pain and suffering.
It's sort of a medical corollary to Hayek's observation about "why the worst get on top" in totalitarian regimes. Because abortion is a morally repugnant practice, it does not attract highly-skilled and ethical practicioners. Women who go to abortion clinics are placing their health in the hands of a bunch of greedy hacks.

  2. Let's not overlook the fact that the PP in question is a member of the National Abortion Federation, sort of an abortionists' guild that presents itself to the public as safeguards of women's safety. Yeah, ask these women how safe NAF abortions are.
