A Tennessee abortionist has relocated to Colorado to continue committing abortions, reportedly due to Tennessee’s pro-life laws.<\/p>\n

Leilah Zahedi-Spung is a maternal-fetal medicine (MFM) specialist previously practicing in Chattanooga, Tennessee; she also commits abortions, and came to notoriety when she told the media<\/a> about her decision to send a woman she feared was suffering pre-eclampsia on a six-hour<\/em> ambulance ride to North Carolina so she could get an abortion. When the woman arrived, her blood pressure was dangerously high, and she was in kidney failure. Zahedi-Spung could have intervened, but chose not to.<\/p>\n

Tennessee law permits abortion if needed to save the mother\u2019s life, although the intent of an induced abortion is to end a life, and is not medically necessary; a pre-term delivery without intent to kill would have been legal.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, a second-trimester abortion procedure should, if committed properly, takes several days to complete. A c-section takes less than an hour. Zahedi-Spung could have given the patient in question life-saving medical treatment, but chose not to<\/em>, in favor of risking the woman’s life for an abortion.<\/p>\n
