On September 10, 2003, 18-year-old Holly Patterson entered a Planned Parenthood Clinic in Hayward, California, seeking a "safe" abortion.[1] While at the clinic, Holly ingested RU-486. As instructed by employees at Planned Parenthood, Holly later ingested a second drug at home. Three days later, Holly went to an emergency room with severe pain and bleeding. ER personnel instructed her that her symptoms were normal for a chemical abortion, treated her with pain killers, and sent her home. Holly also called Planned Parenthood, which echoed that her symptoms were normal.
On September 17, Holly-weak, vomiting, and suffering from severe abdominal pain-was rushed to the ER. She died from septic shock at 1:52 p.m. Holly had developed a severe bacterial infection because "fragments of the fetus" remained in her uterus after her chemical abortion. This was the third reported death in the United States since the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the RU-486 regimen. In total, five women in the U.S. have died within one week of using RU-486, and the FDA has now acknowledged at least eight deaths associated with RU-486.[2]
