Tiller Patient Feared 'They're Liable to Kill Me' During Botched 
Abortion that Hospitalized Her
Patient S. tells from her hospital bed how she was locked in a room 
against her will for four hours while a raging infection nearly took her 
life

WICHITA, Kansas, September 29 /Christian Newswire/ -- A life-threatening 
abortion complication landed a patient of late-term abortionist George 
R. Tiller in the hospital last Thursday. The woman has come forward to 
tell of her harrowing, near-death experience at Tiller's Women's Health 
Care Services.

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.

She also accuses Sella of misdiagnosing her pregnancy at 19 weeks, even 
though previous medical examinations placed her pregnancy at 23 weeks, 
beyond the legal limit in Kansas.

On Thursday, while sick, crying, and running a fever of 103.7°, she 
returned to WHCS where she was isolated in a locked room for four hours, 
during which time her pleas for release were ignored.

Patient S. was told that she should be quiet because she was upsetting 
the other women, and was threatened that unless her attitude changed, 
they would no longer treat her. She was also told that she would have to 
drive over three hours to a hospital in Kansas City where her abortion 
would be completed. She refused to make the trip and demanded that 
Tiller finish the procedure.

Patient S. observed that she continued to feel movements in her womb. 
Her mother was present during the removal of the baby, and observed 
Tiller inserting a tube into the baby's skull and removing the brains, a 
procedure that is illegal if the baby was still alive.

Before the final procedure, Patient S. said that she feared, "They're 
liable to kill me under sedation." During the procedure, Patient S. 
suffered an asthma attack and cardiac arrest, but was revived.

Instead of calling an ambulance, Tiller drove Patient S. to Wesley 
Medical Center in his personal Jeep. She feared for her safety since 
Tiller apparently could not see very clearly, and was verbally directed 
though traffic by a female employee who was with them.

She was treated and discharged from the hospital on Saturday, September 
27, 2008, even though she was still in pain and feeling sick from her 
ordeal.

Patient S.'s experience closely resembles that of 19- year old Christin 
Gilbert, who died from untreated sepsis during a third-trimester 
abortion at WHCS on January 13, 2005.

"We have repeatedly begged the authorities in Kansas to hold Tiller 
accountable for the many women he had hurt just over the past few years. 
How many women must be maimed or killed before Tiller is brought to 
justice? We say it again: Tiller is a menace and we demand that he be 
held accountable for his dangerous, if not criminal, actions. This time, 
the public should not take 'no' for an answer," said Operation Rescue 
President Troy Newman.
