The suit
alleges that Gravely changed her mind before the abortion process began when the
clinic could not provide her with adequate anesthesia. Ignoring her pain and
instructions to not begin the abortion procedure, Stephens directed employees
to physically restrain Gravely and proceeded with the abortion, according to
the suit.
Shortly
thereafter, the lawsuit claims, Stephens announced that he was finished and
sent Gravely home where she continued to experience severe pain and heavy
bleeding. When she called Women’s Health Center and said she could not drive
and was in too much pain to take public transportation, the center declined to
assist her, she says. Gravely then called an ambulance and was taken to the
emergency room of a hospital where she
learned that the abortionist had left parts of the unborn child--including the
baby’s head--in her womb.Faith on Trial is where we examine the influence of law and society on people of faith.
