Texas Abortionist Sued Over Life Threatening Injuries

Operation Rescue has posted an article and court documents related to a lawsuit filed  against Texas abortionist Douglas Karpen. From the post:

Houston abortionist Douglas Karpen, sometimes referred to as the “Gosnell of Texas,” has been sued by a former abortion patient who alleges that he inflicted life-threatening injuries on her during a 23-week abortion then failed to inform her or send her for the emergency care and surgery she required.

Melanie Mendoza filed suit in Harris County Court on March 10, 2014, seeking unspecified damages after her horrific late-term abortion experience with Karpen on Valentine’s Day, 2013.

Operation Rescue obtained the court documents, which can be viewed at OperationRescue.org, that allege Karpen rushed through the late-term procedure, lacerating Mendoza’s uterus and creating a large T-shaped rupture that left her uterus open to the abdominal cavity.
