Abortionist Killed: National News
Abortionist Kills Woman: Ignored
HYANNIS, Mass -- Abortionist George Tiller's death brought an
outpouring of national media headlines and Congressional
condolences to his family by a resolution approved by the US House.
Laura Hope Smith's death at the hands of an abortionist was and
continues to be ignored and her mother's effort to bring it to the
attention of her senator was stonewalled.
"Where was the press when my daughter Laura died at the hands of
an abortionist?" asks Eileen Smith, Laura's mother. A media search
shows mostly news reports from nonprofit organizations, religious
news and other alternative media.
Laura's death was mentioned 10 months later in one major
publication, The Boston Globe, when the abortionist was indicted for
manslaughter. It was 6 weeks before her local paper, The Cape Cod
Times, mentioned Laura's death, although it sought out her mother for
a two-hour interview just 2 days after Laura's death. Smith says the
local newspaper rationalized delaying a report on Laura's death so it
could corroborate it with an autopsy report.
"Since when has news been postponed in lieu of reporting facts
except in the abortion deaths of the mothers?" asks Smith. "I have to
believe that it is only because the media's bias toward abortion
determines what makes news," she said.
"If Laura had died falling off a bike or in a car accident it would have
been in the paper the next day," she said. "My daughter walked into
that abortion facility healthy and she left dead," Smith said.
of Laura, following an investigation by local police and the
Massachusetts Board of Registration in Medicine. The District Attorney
found the abortionist's conduct to be "willful, wanton, and reckless"
because he sedated Laura with level three drugs without any means
of cardiac monitoring or blood pressure cuff; had no assistant who
could administer sedation, monitor the patient, or assist in
resuscitating her; and, "failed to timely initiate a call to 911." The
board also alleged that the abortionist made false statements.
"I call on the media to report deaths like Laura's," said Smith. "If
Tiller's death merits national news, so does a death at the hands of an
abortionist," she added.
Eileen Smith is available for interviews. Contact Valerie Mosher Pfeil,
