This\u00a0coming 4th of July\u00a0will mark one year\u00a0since the death of Cree Erwin-Sheppard, a 24-year-old mother from Battle Creek, Michigan, who suffered a painful death after a botched abortion. Suspicions about hospital negligence and lack of accountability from Planned Parenthood have been raised since the release of an\u00a0autopsy report given to the Kalamazoo\u00a0Gazette, along with new information<\/a> about Cree’s\u00a0death obtained by her\u00a0brother, Tyler Sheppard.<\/p>\n

On Thursday, April 13, Tyler Sheppard, along with Cree’s other brothers, David Coleman and Ashton Erwin, publicly protested the mishandling of their sister’s death. During the protest, Sheppard shared the medical record of Cree’s emergency visit after her botched abortion. An ultrasound done at the Bronson Battle Creek Hospital on July 2 showed “the presence of a clot and\/or retained products of conception.” The emergency record also stated\u00a0that”the patient’s symptoms and work-up results were consistent with an incomplete miscarriage and pelvic pain.”<\/p>\n
