Last week, an Indiana woman filed a lawsuit, alleging that an OB/GYN in Illinois botched a late-term abortion and left her permanently scarred.
Blaze News spoke with Jane Doe’s attorney, Richard Craig, to learn more about the incident and what Craig and his client hope to accomplish through the litigation.
Doe’s D&E: A ‘bad choice’ made worse
On April 1, 2023, Jane Doe walked into Equity Clinic in Champaign, Illinois, seeking an elective abortion. At that point, she was 22 weeks pregnant and was scheduled to undergo a procedure called a dilation and evacuation, which requires patients to visit the clinic on two consecutive days.
On April 2, Doe returned to the clinic, having experienced no issues the previous day, and Dr. Keith Reisinger-Kindle and other members of the Equity Clinic staff continued the procedure, removing the unborn child from Doe’s womb using a “combination of a 15 suction catheter and … a Sopher clamp under ultrasound guidance,” the lawsuit said.
