<\/div>

A few weeks ago, I reported on the bizarre \u201cabortion contract<\/a>\u201d drawn up in 2007 between NBA player JJ Redick and his ex-girlfriend, Vanessa Lopez. As I reported, the \u201ccontract\u201d stipulated that Lopez would receive $25,000 to abort the child, despite Redick\u2019s\u00a0denials that the baby was his. The contract was full of humiliating provisions, such as demands that Lopez be examined by a doctor of Redick\u2019s choice in order to \u201cprove\u201d she wasn\u2019t lying about the pregnancy or the abortion.<\/p>\n

\"VanessaWhen the story broke, Redick responded by taking the low road, stopping just short of calling Lopez a liar. He claimed that \u201cMs. Lopez did not and has never terminated a pregnancy of a child fathered by me.\u201d He even played the victim, writing, \u201ccontinued attention to these lies is severely damaging to myself and my family.\u201d It was clear he was hoping Lopez\u2014and reporters covering the story\u2014would shut up and slink away.<\/p>\n

But over the weekend, I received medical records that proved she absolutely was not <\/i>\u00a0lying about the abortion, and show that she also suffered harassment at the hands of Redick and his associates afterward.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The first document is from Vanessa\u2019s visit to an Orlando emergency room a week after her gruesome 16-week abortion. \u201cPatient is a 28-year-old who regrets abortion that was done 9 days ago,\u201d the report says. \u201cShe has been bleeding heavily ever since,\u201d with a fever of 102 degrees. Vanessa was in so much pain, she couldn’t even submit to an exam. The emergency room examiner believed she had retained \u201cproducts\u201d\u2014aka, baby body parts\u2014in her uterus and was at risk for sepsis.<\/p>\n

There is no doubt that Vanessa suffered terribly after her abortion, both physically and emotionally\u2014a year afterward, she sought counseling for symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. All the while, JJ Redick has refused to acknowledge his involvement in the abortion.<\/p>\n

The second document I obtained is from the Lake Mary Police Department. In September 2007, they handled Vanessa\u2019s complaints of harassing phone calls\u2014which included racial slurs and death threats\u2014from Redick, his brother David, and Redick\u2019s brother-in-law, Russell Cobb. According to the police report, David told Vanessa that she was a \u201cb\u2014ch\u201d and that he was \u201cgoing to kill her.\u201d<\/p>\n

JJ Redick can issue all the carefully-worded denials he wants. (On Twitter, he cleverly worded his statement to deny he was the father of Lopez\u2019 child, but did not deny that she had an abortion and he knew about it.) But Vanessa Lopez deserves justice. She deserves to tell her story\u2014not only of being abused by Redick and his inner circle, but of her suffering after abortion.<\/p>\n

As for JJ Redick, he has been neither a man nor a Christian about this, despite prominently declaring himself a \u201cChristian\u201d on his Twitter page. He is a disgrace to the NBA, for which he deserves a public rebuke. JJ Redick is not a victim. Vanessa Lopez and her dead child are.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
