Medical Examiner: Woman died of cardiac arrest during abortion
The cause of death reflects the subsequent effects of the cardiopulmonary arrest the decedent suffered during a pregnancy termination procedure.
~ Medical Examiner’s report on Lakisha Wilson (pictured right), age 22, who died on March 28, one week after submitting to a late-term abortion at Preterm, an abortion business in Cleveland, Ohio, via Operation Rescue, May 30

So beautiful. So needlessly dead.
As uncaring as Big Tobacco. When will we learn?
Thank you for covering this Jill. Especially since I protest Preterm:)
I hope the full autopsy report reveals what exactly went horribly wrong for a 22 year old woman to suffer cardiopulmonary arrest.
Never heard a peep about this through the media.
I can think of a number of scenarios.
This doesn’t just happen out of the clear blue sky with an otherwise healthy young woman of this age.
Drug overdose, allergic reaction, people who can’t properly administer CPR or recognize an emergency, appropriate equipment needed for resuscitation not available, unrecognized blood loss, a blood clot that travelled to the lungs, no monitoring of the patient.
It sounds like she was already brain dead when she arrived at the hospital. What a tragic waste of such a beautiful young woman.
Hi Mary I stumbled upon this on complete accident. LaKisha was from Columbus and was turned down both there and at an Akron abortion clinic because she was too far along. Preterm apparently gave her the green light and although she was pronounced brain dead the day of her abortion her family kept her on life support so they could harvest her organs.
Preterm? What a horrible name for a horrible place.
Apparently they’ll get rid of preterm babies as long as they’re in utero.
My daughter was born preterm at 35 weeks.
Preterm has been operating since 73. I guess they combined pregnancy and termination …preterm
I see my friend snapped these pics.
What a beautiful young woman. WOW!! Another botched abortion story instead of “another one bites the dust” with one dead, one wounded, here we go again with two dead, family wounded and totally devastated, all in the name of “women’s reproductive freedom” “my body, my choice” “keep abortion safe and legal” and “abortion no restrictions, no apologies” (I can hear the pro-aborts slogans in the background). I wonder who apologized to her family. Sex was never meant to kill you but aborting your unborn baby sure can, ask this family and Tonya Reaves family. Wow heather. Two other abortuaries refused to perform the abortion because she was too far along but Preterm gave her the green light. What a horrific mess. “Safe and legal”, yeah right.
Does her death certificate say she died of pregnancy related complications?
I mean, if it does, then that really makes the point that those saying that pregnancy is more dangerous than abortion are cooking the books by subtracting deaths from the abortion column and adding them to the pregnancy column.
Very good point hippie. I wonder that too now that you mention it. Does anyone know the answer to hippie’s question?
Im not 100% sure but I believe she died at Preterm. I also believe they are stating she is dead because of her abortion. I will ask Pastor Dale next time I see him. They said the squad was no longer working on her when they emerged from Preterm and the sirens never went on. I can tell you Cleveland EMS will turn those sirens on if there is any chance at all. I will keep all updated.
All tests are not in by the ME but all sources are good that she did die from her abortion. So far the autopsy lists therapudic complications and cardiac arrest as her cause of death. Had the 5 month pregnant woman not sought an abortion that day shed still be alive. Also Alvida King has stepped in. Lakishas facebook pics are shown. She is obviously pregnant as she stands next to a man. His arm is around her. The father maybe? She looked radiant and happy. I wonder why she chose abortion. So sad.
Hi prolifer L. Nice to see you:)
Hi heather nice to see you too. Thank you for the updates on this horrible outcome of another abortion. What a needless tragedy. This family is going to bury this beautiful young woman all for “reproductive choice” and so-called “women’s healthcare” (what an idiotic misnomer for killing your unborn-abortion is NOT healthcare). I am sad and angry at the same time. I will have to check out Alveda King’s prolife website.
