UK woman dies of sepsis directly linked to her abortion

An inquest in Blackpool into the death of a 31-year-old woman has found that she died from a sepsis infection after undergoing an abortion.

Sarah Dunn, died at Blackpool Victoria Hospital on 11th April 2020 almost four weeks after having the abortion.

After feeling unwell in the days following the procedure, the mother of five approached her GP several times over the course of two weeks. On 10th April, she was taken by ambulance to Victoria Hospital’s A&E department and died the following day from the sepsis infection.

A spokesperson for the Pro-life Campaign said her death is far from the first case of its kind in England where a woman lost her life due to an infection directly related to the abortion procedure. “The lack of media interest in her case and similar cases is unconscionable, in contrast to say the round the clock media coverage of the Savita Halappanavar case that was used to foist abortion on Ireland. Savita died as a result of mismanaged sepsis during her care and not as a result of being denied an abortion as the media falsely and repeatedly claimed,” she said.
