Tonya Reaves Dies After Having an Abortion at Planned Parenthood

Planned Parenthood is at the center of yet another controversy in Chicago, Illinois, after a 24-year-old woman died following an abortion procedure. Tonya Reaves passed away on Friday evening from a hemorrhage and complications as a result of what CBS Chicago called a “dilation and evacuation.”

According to the medical examiner, the pregnancy, itself, was a contributing factor in Reaves death, but the details seem murky. In the wake of the incident, the woman’s family is seeking answers. The death, which took place after a local Planned Parenthood clinic performed the procedure, is being ruled an accident.

“We were born the same day. She was my other half,” Toni, Reaves twin sister, told CBS Chicago. “It happened so fast. She was just fine one day and then the next day she was gone. We’re just trying to figure out what happened.”

Planned Parenthood of Illinois CEO Carole Brite responded to Reaves’ demise, writing in a statement that the organization is “shocked and saddened” after learning about the incident. “Our hearts go out to the loved ones of this patient,” she continued.

Beyond that, Brite made it clear that the organization wouldn’t be sharing further details about the death. She continued:

“While legal abortion services in the United States have a very high safety record, a tragedy such as this is devastating to loved ones and we offer our deepest sympathies. Planned Parenthood of Illinois cares deeply about the health and safety of each and every patient. We do not publicly discuss private patient matters and we follow HIPAA laws that forbid the disclosure of patient information.”

Pro-life advocate Troy Newman, president of Operation Rescue and Pro-Life Nation, used the incident as an example of what he believes to be the dangers of abortion. In a statement, he called the death and others like it “completely avoidable.”

“When a woman bleeds to death after an abortion, it is usually an indication of error on the part of the abortionist coupled with a delay in calling for emergency assistance,” Newman continued, according to The Christian Post. “In light of this tragedy (Tonya Reaves), which is yet another in a long list of Planned Parenthood abuses, we call on President Obama to immediately withdraw all Federal funding and personal support from Planned Parenthood.”

Reaves was engaged to be married and left behind a one-year-old son, Alvin.

      When I was a nursing student my book said life begins at conception and that the baby even at that point is a separate person. The left lies and uses abortion to control the population of their own. Those that have read the Bible would not I hope have an abortion. We must stop the funding with tax dollars this criminal act of murder. The country mourns for those that died this past weekend in Colorado but no tears for the thousands of innocent babies that died since then in an abortion clinic aka planned parenthood.

      Equaljustice..admit it..you don’t even know who Margaret Sanger is..do you? Here’s a quote from her (she is the founder of Planned Parenthood)
      “We should hire three or four colored ministers, preferably with social-service backgrounds, and with engaging personalities. The most successful educational approach to the ***** is through a religious appeal. We don’t want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the ***** population. and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members.”
      Margaret Sanger’s December 19, 1939 letter to Dr. Clarence Gamble, 255 Adams Street, Milton, Massachusetts. Original source: Sophia Smith Collection, Smith College, North Hampton, Massachusetts. Also described in Linda Gordon‘s Woman’s Body, Woman’s Right: A Social History of Birth Control in America. New York: Grossman Publishers, 1976.

    I know this will bring out the haters…but, this is why I will always support Pro-Choice.

    Changing the law will not stop abortions…or even curtail them. You’ll just wind up with a bunch of dead, maimed or mutilated girls from having backroom abortions in non-sterile conditions, done by vets and med students looking for a few extra dollars.

    Spend your time focusing on educating your own children to abstain or use birth control.

    Bring back morals…not dead girls in abandoned buildings, basements & garages.

    Stop the baby’s before they are conceived…and stop screaming about those that choose to deal with it afterwards.

    I know you hypocrites will refuse to answer this question –you always do– but, if you found out your daughter was in her car and heading for an abortion, would you rather some butcher took care of her in a basement? Or a trained professional in a sterile operating room?

      And since the “back alley” thing is really a false argument created by the murdering abortionist to try to sway public opinion to support the carnage for profit machines, the majority of us are smart enough to recognize that.

      Creestof is right if our culture maintains the: “Have sex with everyone and and everything attitude.” We will have more deaths. We need to change the thought process of our culture. The feminists I grew up with didn’t want women to be objects,mindless drudges or baby machines having to put up and shut up. They wanted to be respected and cherished for what they did even if it was for raising a happy well adjusted child. The message has been corrupted. How do we change the message our young people are receiving? How do we make the loss of this young woman and her child have meaning?

      How is this an “unanswerable” question? Do you want your daughters abortion handled legally by a trained professional, or an illegal butchershop?

      The only thing that makes it “unanswerable” is how cowardly you are in facing the truth if it was in your immediate family. Believe me, the fall isn’t going to kill you if you hop off your bible for a second and face reality…and act like a human being.

      So…true, the child will be dead either way…and that is a shame, a crime, a sin. But do you or don’t you want the odds to be greatly in your favor that at leasy your daughter will walk back into your home and into your embrace to be consoled.

      As far as “gun control” goes, I believe in:

      1) A 7 day waiting period for handguns and long guns.
      2) All firearms should be fired at the factory and the ballistics recorded and linked to each and every owner of the firearm.
      3) All firearms should be registered…even private party sales.
      4) A graduating scale for calibers in regards to how many rounds you can purchase in a week/month.

      And this comes from a NRA member, a resident in AZ who enjoys the freedoms we have, an owner of 15 weapons and currently around 10,000 rounds of ammo.

      As far is drugs go? I’m in favor of:
      1) Tougher laws on dealers/distributors/transporters.
      2) Taking the fight off American soil where needed to stop production and cartels.
      3) Holding dealers and higher, responsible (and criminally liable) for murder in regards to overdose deaths of those they sell to.
      4) Selling to a minor should be life imprisonment.

      I support pro-choice…not any organization that carries out the law…except the AMA.

      Pedophiles should be branded for all to see…personally I’d prefer them to receive the death penalty.

      I’m not a Margaret Sanger fan…but I’m open to discussion on laws dealing with the sterilization of ANY woman after so many abortions. Though I realize it would be non-enforceable, inhuman and a kneejerk reaction to my disgust of ANY woman continuously aborting babies. Then again, I think vasectomies are in order for ANY man who has several “baby mama’s”…especially if he never marries them or even lives with them for a significant amount of time…to me, it is no different –in principle– to a man knowingly having sex with multiple women even though he knows he is an STD carrier.

      @The_Almighty_Creestof – I’m with you on this, though I think that abortion should be limited to the first trimester. I don’t think tax payers should pay for the irresponsibility of others yet we will pay for it one way or another. Should abortion be banned, we will see a rise in newborns found in dumpsters, a rise in welfare recipients and crime rate. We’ll pay whether we want to or not with higher incarceration rates, higher taxes to support law enforcement…

      There is always a third and fourth option. Perhaps she could put the child up for adoption to a stable, two-parent family?? Perhaps she and the sperm-donor could find a way to get married and be responsible adults – after all, having sex was an adult decision that had adult consequences. It’s not always a choice between killing via Planned Parenthood and killing via a back-alley abortionist (given this story and the doctor in Philadelphia who was responsible for killing several women with his abortions, I don’t see much of a difference between these two.)

      PARAPHRASING: “A better law will not stop.or even curtail abortions. You’ll wind up with dead, maimed or mutilated girls from backroom abortions.”

      The 60′s called and wants your way of thinking back… over 50 MILLION children have been killed… due to Margret Sangers KKK hate filled dream of controlling a black population. And you are worried about the 10 poster women per year you’ll hear about being maimed because of a back room abortion? Nope, you‘ll never convince me that it’ll happen to the magnitute that you are indirectly implying…..

      We’d love to… but it appears we are required to allow the school and public to shove it in our kids faces instead… The best we can do is forewarn them that America is a freedom of opinion. Respect their opinion, but do not follow their ways.

      Morals?: I agree, depend on whose they are.

      You lack a lot of information on abortion to be pro-choice. More women have died from abortion since it was legalized then when it was illegal BY FAR!
      Many other women are psychologically damaged for life. In addition, there are many under-aged girls getting abortions and the sex offender/pedophile that got them pregnant is never reported.

      ALL OF THIS affects our society. It is not just the woman involved in abortion. It is all of us. What do you think damaged women and girls does to our society?
      I know a man who is married to a woman who had an abortion before they got together, and she has been on anti-depressants ever since. She gives him all kinds of trouble because she is so damaged.

      I agree with you whole heartidly.To the rest of you.My stance on gun control is that I don‘t believe in it I’m a firm supported of the second amendment the way our fore fathers sanctioned it.Only for treason or other true high crime and then only until the guilty serves their sentence.That to ban them from guns any further ,would require a seperate hearing. proving the continued need to restrict there firearms use.
      To those of you who think that illegal abortions haven’t caused far more death than legal ones.All I can say is that you can remain in your world of abject stupidity for eternity.Most of you were too young or sheltered to remember the horrific effects.You were to hard headed to listen to your parents when they tried to explain it to you.You may want to let your children and grandchildren go back to the days where women died due to moralistic restrictions.I’m not about too.I further more will fight you tooth and nail.I’m not going to let you take my children and grandchildren with you.

      “You lack a lot of information on abortion to be pro-choice. More women have died from abortion since it was legalized then when it was illegal BY FAR!”

      Do you have statistics on this? Preferably from a peer-reviewed or government report, and not a WND opinion article or something?

      Not saying you’re wrong, but whenever someone throws out this kind of claim with absolutely nothing backing it up, it raises red flags. The first logical issue is that abortion’s only been legal in the US since the 1960s, but the US has been around for over 200 years. I‘m sure these facts weren’t recorded back in the 1800s, but even if they were that means that you claim more women died in the last 50 years during botched, legal abortions, than the 150+ preceding years from botched, illegal abortions AND death during childbirth combined.

      Sounds like an argument based on very faulty grounds, IMO.

      You may not like the answer but I told my children what abortion was and showed them. They would not have an abortion if they got pregnant because they believe it is murder. They know I would be disappointed in them for having sex, but they also know they are loved and I will love my grandchildren no matter how they end up happening. Dr. Bernard Nathanson was one of the doctors that helped with the Roe vs Wade case. He stopped doing abortions after he watched an ultrasound of a 12 week abortion and saw the baby kick and rear and try to get away from the suction tube trying to kill it. That baby fought for it’s life. A “fetus” that is not sentient and nothing but a glob of tissue does not fight for it’s life. He also admitted that they greatly exaggerated the numbers of women dying from back alley abortions. Since abortion has been legalized child abuse has sky rocketed more than 300% so nothing has gotten better because we have legal abortion. My mother had an abortion between me and my brother and she has never been the same. She dreams of my sister and used to cry. Now she is just a drunkard with a ruined life. Try telling me about how I am a coward for not answering your stupid and inhuman question.

      No, it looks like you answered it. You’ve decided that if one of your daughters decided to have an abortion, you would prefer that they be illegal at the time and that she be forced to have it done by a veternarian in someones garage.

      How about you answer a question? If your daughter was about to take your two year old grandchild and kill the child would you rather she do it in a safe way where she would not get hurt herself and get away with it or would you rather she do it in a way where she would end up killing herself?
      I believe in a life for a life. I would rather my daughter was dead than to kill her own child. I don’t care if you think that is cruel or unloving. I have someone higher to answer to than the almighty creestof. (pretentious name by the way, think much of yourself?) You have someone higher to answer to as well. Good luck when that comes around.

      Creestof,

      If it were either of my daughters I would do my level best to talk her into an alternative solution to abortion. But, assuming she was of age, if abortion was her decision and she understood the full extent of the decision, I would want her to have the best medical care possible. If it meant that I had to pay out of my pocket then I would do it.

      I’m philosophically against abortion because I believe that life begins at conception. Thus abortion is murder in my opinion. But, I am unable to prove my position. Therefore I’m uncomfortable with foisting my belief on others. Even my children, now that they are adults.

      I favor a public policy that allows for choices that are medically safe and sound. Now here might be the rub between you and I. I favor the policy of choice as long as taxpayer dollars, federal or state, are not used to provide those choices. Those who do not want to finance an activity that they find morally reprehensible should not be compelled to do so. Peace.

      I place the abortion fanatics (those like the nutcase above who’d rather kill her own daughter rather than allow her the right to have a safe abortion) in the same asylum that houses those that let their children die rather than seeking medical aid, because their “religon” tells them God will heal them if they pray hard enough.

      Again, thank you for speaking your mind.

      BTW, It seems the arguements of those for and against abortion, all center around their own children…if that is indeed the case, then why do you need a law stopping abortion? You raised the child…why do you need a 3rd party to step in and enforce the morals you taught your own children?

      Is it because they have a mind and a life of their own? Not to mention the right to determine what they do during their life as long as they understand the consequences of their actions?

      The goal of every parent should be to raise a child amidst a positive example and role model in life. To teach them your values and to be candid about your shortcomings and the price you paid for your failings. Your goal should be to raise them so they have a good FOUNDATION in which to make their own decisions…even if they differ from yours.

      Lord help us when we consider ourselves or our children to be failures when they refuse to mimic our values or parrot our beliefs, rather than live their own lives.

      Since “your cousin” already has one child, and was going to school, we can safely assume she understood what causes pregnancy and could have avoided that behavior rather than selfishly embarking on self gratification of lusts. Now sadly 2 are dead.

If your darling little fornicators get themselves knocked up, then they MUST have the baby. Abortion is NOT an option. To abort is to open themselves up to being murdered themselves.

      Imagine a poor family struggling to provide for their 1-year-old. The woman gets pregnant again (intentional or unintentional, we do not know) and there are complications (we know there must have been since it says the pregnancy itself contributed to her death). What are the priorities? How can you fault this mother for putting her 1-year-old before the fetus she was carrying that wasn’t healthy? She probably had to decide whether she’d continue to put food on the table for her son, or pay the medical expenses involved with carrying a complicated pregnancy to term. Not to mention that you’d be hard pressed to find anyone willing to adopt a child with severe complications, so the care expenses could have literally driven this family to homelessness and starvation, had the child even survived birth.

      Abortion wouldn‘t be most peoples’ first choice, but I guarantee that if you asked them to chose between their existing children and a fetus, the existing children would come first.

Before I had my 3 kids I was able to never become pregnant and after I had my 3 planned kids, I never became pregnant. I’m not unique. Sure, birth control can occasionally fail, but those instances are quite rare…when one is RESPONSIBLE.
      Abortion is a CHOICE among many available choices. To choose to murder one’s own child is beyond understanding to me.
      If perhaps you are suffering from guilt from having an abortion there are many places you can go to seek help. Crisis Pregnancy Centers are a good option. I hope that if that is the case, you can forgive yourself and find peace.
