Settlement

Medical malpractice lawsuit against abortionists Douglas Karpen and Richard Cunningham, filed on behalf of patient Nicolette Cormier. Abortionists refused to halt patient's 3rd-trimester abortion procedure, even after the patient decided she did not want an abortion. The patient required emergency care at a hospital, and delivered a premature infant weighing 1 lb, 13 oz. Despite intensive medical care, the baby later died. File also contains additional news stories about botched abortions performed by Douglas Karpen.

Order granting defendant special exceptions

Patient Nicolette Cormier and her mother sue Dr. Karpen for performing a forced abortion on a minor. 16-year-old Nicolette Cormier went to Dr. Karpen to have a late-term abortion. After Karpen inserted laminaria to begin the first stage of the abortion, the 16-year-old patient changed her mind about having a third-trimester abortion. Nicolette and her mother told Dr. Karpen they did not want to continue the procedure. Dr. Karpen argued with them and refused to remove the laminaria. Instead, Karpen contiunued the procedure against the their wishes, and inserted more laminaria to continue the abortion. After arguing repeatedly with Dr. Karpen and his associate, Dr. Cunningham, Nicolette and her mother went to the hospital two days later, where Nicolette went into premature labor. Nicolette gave birth to a 1 lb, 13 oz baby girl, named Ashley Renee Cormier. Despite "intensive lifesaving measures," baby Ashley died several months later. See pages 2-7.

Patient Quinnetta Dugas sues Karpen for a botched abortion which nearly killed her. Karpen lacerated Dugan's cervix, and she was transported by ambulance to a hospital for an emergency hysterectomy to keep her from bleeding to death. Karpen then falsified his medical records to cover up his mistake. See pages 3-7, and 13.

Patient Melania Mendoza sues Dr. Karpen for a botched abortion which left her unable to have children. In the botched procedure, Karpen ruptured the patient's uterus, which required emergency surgery to repair. Mendoza's uterus was damaged so badly doctors told 20-year-old Melanie she could never be pregnant without putting herself in "extreme danger." See pages 3-5.
