As proof of Dr. Hern's assertion that many of his fellow abortionists are doing shoddy and unsafe work, consider the following excerpts from a Los Angeles Daily News article about Dr. Leo F. Kenneally.
The state medical board reversed itself this week and revoked the license of a Canyon Country doctor accused of gross negligence in the deaths of two women seeking abortions at family clinics he ran in Pacoima and near downtown Los Angeles.
Kenneally, whom medical board documents said 'likely...performs more abortions than any other solo provider in the state,' was accused of gross negligence and incompetence in the handling of two cases in 1986 and 1987 that led to the deaths of young women seeking to terminate pregnancies. The board also upheld complaints filed by five other former Kenneally patients, including two women who were injured during abortions so badly they had to undergo hysterectomies.
The court decision further stated that Kenneally's "complication rates do not appear to be above average". Life Dynamics maintains an online exhibit called the Blackmun Wall which provides the tragic details of 347 different American women who have died from a "safe and legal" abortion. Life Dynamics notes that these women only represent "the tip of the iceberg when it comes to abortion deaths." Their research "clearly indicates that, for a variety of reasons, the overwhelming majority of abortion-related deaths remain undiscovered."
