An investigation is underway into the tragic death of a young mother in Blackpool that occurred following a post-abortion infection.

Sarah Louise Dunn (31), died at Blackpool Victoria Hospital on 11 April 2020 almost four weeks after having the abortion.

After feeling unwell 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 that sadly, this is not the first case of its kind in England where a woman lost her life due to an infection from an abortion.

“The lack of media interest in her case is also very noticeable, in contrast for example to 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 a mismanaged sepsis during her care and not as a result of being denied an abortion as the media continually and vehemently claims”.
