Last year, it was revealed that Keisha Atkins, who died after a late-term abortion, had been drugged repeatedly<\/a> before her death. Now, new information has come to light suggesting Atkins may have been an unwitting participant in a series of experiments committed by abortionists at Southwestern Women’s Options (SWO) in Albuquerque, New Mexico.<\/p>\n

On January 31, 2017, Atkins visited SWO to undergo an induction abortion<\/a> procedure at approximately six months pregnant. This is a procedure which takes several days; the abortionist begins by injecting a feticide, such as digoxin, into the preborn baby\u2019s heart. The abortionist then inserts laminaria (seaweed sticks) into the woman’s cervix, which cause gradual dilation of the cervix, and the woman leaves the facility. Three to four days later, she returns to the facility to deliver the body of her dead baby, although women sometimes end up going into labor early, delivering at home or in their hotel rooms.<\/p>\n
