One of the abortionists being sued for the 2017 death of Keisha Atkins<\/a> after a late-term abortion in New Mexico is featured in the latest video from the Facebook page Abortion On Trial<\/a>. Carmen Landau, a late-term abortionist at Southwestern Women’s Options, was sued for wrongful death, along with notorious late-term abortionist Curtis Boyd and abortionist Shannon Carr. The clip from Landau’s deposition shows her admitting that patients are strictly told not<\/em> to contact emergency personnel if something goes wrong.<\/p>\n

The video begins with the interviewer bringing Landau’s attention to instructions given to patients of Southwestern Women’s Options. The excerpt reads:<\/p>\n

We will see you here in our office if necessary — do not go to the emergency room<\/strong>; call our phone number below with any concerns and we will take care of you, no matter the time of day or night.<\/em><\/p>\n

When asked to explain why patients are instructed not to visit the emergency room, Landau responded, “Because often times, when unexpected or concerning things are happening overnight, one might be — have — the first impulse would be to go to the emergency room. And the emergency room personnel are, in the vast majority of cases, not the best qualified to take care of a patient who’s undergoing an abortion procedure. We are.”<\/p>\n
