A new report from the New Mexico Alliance for Life has revealed just how dangerous the Southwestern Women\u2019s Options (SWO) abortion business in Albuquerque, New Mexico, truly is and has exposed their collusion with the University of New Mexico Hospital (UNMH).<\/p>\n

In reviewing emergency transfer logs, the New Mexico Alliance for Life found that there were 50 medical emergencies<\/a>\u00a0at SWO between 2014 and 2021. The most recent incident took place on July 7, 2021, during an abortion committed by Shelly Sella, in which a patient suffered bleeding severe enough to require a transfer to the hospital. Other injuries over the last seven years included sepsis, uncontrollable bleeding, perforations, chemical exposure, pulmonary embolism, and infection.<\/p>\n

SWO gained greater notoriety in 2017 following the death of Keisha Atkins<\/a>, who underwent a late-term abortion at the facility beginning on January 31 of that year. That day, Atkins, who was approximately six months pregnant, visited SWO to begin an induction abortion procedure. Documents found that abortion staff administered multiple doses of dangerous medications \u2014 fentanyl, Versed (midazolam), and oxycodone \u2014 to Atkins for several days, and did not monitor her condition after she left the facility. When Atkins began suffering from labored breathing, a known potential side effect of the drugs, SWO continued to administer them to her.<\/p>\n
