California Deaths of patients of
Planned Parenthood facilities:

Edrica Goode – This 21-year-old aspiring lawyer went to a Planned Parenthood in Riverside, California on January 31, 2007 for a second-trimester abortion while 14 weeks pregnant.  Despite clear signs of infection, a nurse practitioner inserted five laminaria sticks and sent  her home. 
		24 hours after the laminaria was inserted to dialate her cervix, in anticipation of an abortion the following day, Edrica fell critically ill.  The Planned Parenthood nurse noted that Edrica had an “odiferous creamy-colored discharge” coming from her vagina, and noted “bacterial vaginosis” on Edrica’s medical chart.  The manufacturer clearly notes that they “Should not be used in presence of vaginal, cervical, or pelvic infections.”
		The Riverside County Coroner ultimately concluded that Edrica died from toxic shock syndrome, prolonged retention of laminaria cervical dilators and an intrauterine pregnancy on 2/14/2007 .From World Net Daily, 6/20/2007
