“The death of this young woman is another sobering reminder that Ohio needs to enforce laws that hold abortion clinics accountable to health and safety standards,” said Mike Gonidakis, President of Ohio Right to Life. “Not only is the abortion industry disproportionately aborting African American babies, the industry’s apparent carelessness is now taking the lives of Ohio’s young African American women.” http://www.lifenews.com/2014/04/02/pro-life-groups-ask-governor-to-investigate-death-of-woman-from-legal-abortion/
