Nichole’s sister Keisha Atkins also died from a botched abortion here. The clinic was sued, along with the University of New Mexico, UNM abortionist Shannon Carr, and other defendants.

2019-06-19 Complaint -- Nichole Atkins v. Curtis Boyd, Southwestern Women's Options, Shelly Sella
Patient Nichole Atkins sues the clinic and abortionists for malpractice & unfair trade practices. In December 2010, Nichole Atkins went to Southwestern Women's Options for an abortion, where she was treated by abortionist Carmen Landau. The clinic had Nichole sign ONE consent form for both the abortion AND to use her baby for fetal experimentation. The clinic did not tell Nichole that they stored the aborted baby parts in a freezer at the clinic, and that the baby parts were used for research experiments at the University of New Mexico. They did not tell Nichole that they were ALSO going to use her personal info in a research study. The clinic did not inform Nichole of this, or give her an option to opt-out of the research, the fetal tissue donation, or give her any assurance of personal privacy. At the time of her abortion, Nichole was 17 weeks gestation, and Dr. Curtis Boyd's office estimated the baby's length at 23 centimeters. The abortionist botched the abortion and lacerated Nichole's cervix. The clinic didn't inform Nichole of the injuries or repair them. Nichole experienced "extreme pain" and eventually required a hysterectomy, rendering her unable to bear children. See pages 2, 4, & 5-7. -

Autopsy Report Keisha Atkins
Keisha Atkins died on Feb. 4, 2017, as the result of a late-term abortion at Southwestern Women's Options. UNM, SWO's partner in the baby parts trade, did the autopsy and wrongly (in Operation Rescue's opinion) placed blame on her pregnancy instead of the abortion to cover up any culpability. -
