A 23-year-old woman died during a late-term abortion process initiated at Southwestern Women’s Options (SWO), the largest abortion facility in the U.S. that openly specializes in abortions throughout all nine months of pregnancy.

Abortion-Free New Mexico obtained the autoposy report of Keisha Marie Atkins, who died on February 4, 2017. She was transferred from SWO to the University of New Mexico (UNM) hospital, which is where she died.

Abortion-Free New Mexico has been in contact with Atkins' family, and national pro-life watchdog group Operation Rescue is helping them investigate.

Atkins, who Operation Rescue says is believed to have been six months or more pregnant, arrived at SWO on January 31, 2017 to begin her late-term abortion. Eighty-year-old abortionist Curtis Boyd was slated to commit the abortion.

When Atkins returned to SWO on February 3, she displayed labored breathing and signs of sepsis, a systemic, life-threatening infection.

According to the autopsy report, Atkins was "preparing for labor," the final stage of a late-term abortion when the pre-born baby is delivered stillborn, having had his heart injected with poison beforehand. 

A recent undercover call to SWO revealed the facility tells women it "euthanizes" babies in the womb.

Atkins was "short of breath, and her oxygen saturation dropped below her baseline," the autopsy states. There was evidence of blood clots in her lungs, so she was taken "emergently to the operating room to complete the abortion procedure."

"During the operation, she sustained a cardiac arrest," the autopsy report continues. "Extensive resuscitation efforts were ultimately unsuccessful."
