It seems sort of oxymoronic to read a news report that starts with the following sentence:

A complaint has been filed with the Kansas State Board of Healing Arts demanding the emergency suspension of the medical licenses of George R. Tiller and Shelley Sella, whose involvement in a late-term abortion last week nearly cost the life of a 23-year old woman.

The very idea that a man known all over the world as the abortionist who specializes in late term abortion could be in the same category with those involved in “healing arts” boggles my mind, but such is the case in Kansas. Tiller has become such a lightening rod among pro-life activists because of his arrogance. One of those activists has established a web site that deals exclusively with Tiller, his practices, his associates and his apparent insulation from the law, even when his actions nearly kill the mother of a baby he has aborted.

The most recent complaint against Tiller, filed by Operation Rescue represents only the latest on OR’s efforts to expose the cruelty of abortion and those who make their money by killing the preborn. What is perhaps most chilling about this most recent complaint is that “Patient S” can be seen discussing her agony after the abortion on a video that is also posted on the OR website.

I cannot tell you how troubling it is to watch her and listen to her discussing the horror she experienced. Even though we know that abortion is a wound that never leaves the child’s mother, this fact does not make it any easier for someone like Patient S to experience the inhumane treatment she received when she became deathly ill after the abortion.

Beneath the video report, we read:

Patient S. has alleged that on Tuesday, September 23, abortionist Shelley Sella may have botched an injection into her abdomen, causing sepsis, a systemic infection that rapidly spreads throughout the body and can cause rapid death.

You simply must watch this video and listen to her describe how they determined her due date, and how she suffered, trying to let the doctor know she was in pain while being on the brink of hysteria. Her boyfriend makes the point that at the time of her initial cries for help, he was convinced they were simply waiting for her to die so that nobody would have to do anything.

It is patently clear that not a single health care worker bothered to pay attention to her and Tiller never once dropped by to check on her. Cases like this make me wonder if anyone will act against Tiller and his accomplice, abortionist Shelley Stella by actually filing criminal charges.

If Patient “S” had been admitted for any other type of surgery, you can bet your bottom dollar heads would roll. But abortion is, after all, sacrosanct and protected by law by the very people who are supposed to mete out justice.

The allegations in Operation Rescue’s complaint include:

Patient S.’s pregnancy was misdiagnosed by Tiller’s staff to be 19 weeks, even though according to her last menstrual period and previous medical examinations, she was actually 23 weeks pregnant at the time of the abortion, beyond the legal limit.

Patient S. developed severe pain and other complications after having received a dioxin injection from abortionist Sella that was meant to stop her pre-born baby’s heart.

Patient S. spiked a fever of 103.7 degrees, yet was not treated for possible infection by Tiller or his staff.

Patient S. was locked in a room against her will for over 4 hours without treatment for over four hours while feverish and in pain, and was not allowed to communicate with her family.

Tiller threatened to withhold treatment from Patient S., even though she was sick, in pain, and had not yet delivered the baby that was presumed to already be dead.

Tiller threatened to send Patient S. to a hospital in Kansas City, three hours away, in spite of her life-threatening condition and incomplete abortion.

Because of her treatment, Patient S. feared she would be killed while under sedation.

During the final abortion procedure, Patient S. stopped breathing and her heart stopped. She was revived.

Tiller refused to call an ambulance and instead personally drove Patient S. to Wesley Medical Center in his private vehicle, further endangering her life.

Tiller was observed to be shaking excessively, an exhibited extremely poor eyesight during the drive to the hospital.

Tiller never provided follow-up care for Patient S.

In addition to the license suspensions, the complaint urges that the Board evaluate Tiller’s fitness to continue providing surgical procedures due observations of extremely shaky hands and extremely poor eyesight.

Out of the many things that trouble me about this mother’s experience, the one question I have to ask is why this man is still walking around?

Clearly Tiller is shrouded by the aura of death that is his stock in trade. For as we know, abortion is not a crime even though the end result is the death of a baby whose only crime was being conceived.

And when a woman is permanently scarred by a botched abortion or dies, it is a rare thing to see justice carried out against the offending practitioner. Oh it happens now and then, but one has to wonder why it doesn’t occur with greater frequency.

Where is the justice for second victims of abortion like Patient S?
