Inquest Told Teen Died After Taking Abortion Pills
An English teenager died from complications two weeks after taking two abortion pills, her mother told an inquest into her death this week.
Manon Jones, 18, described by her mother as a devout Christian teen, opted to terminate her pregnancy at six weeks because she feared the pregnancy would cause conflict within her "Muslim" boyfriend's family, the Daily Mail reported Friday.
The teen took the first dose of medication to terminate the pregnancy on June 10, 2005, and the second two days later. On June 15, Jones felt light-headed and experienced heavy bleeding so her boyfriend took her to Southmead Hospital in Bristol, England for a scan. She was told the scan was "normal," the report said.
Days later, Jones cut short a vacation with friends because she still felt unwell. She returned home and checked herself into Southmead Hospital.
She died July 27 after being taken off life support.
The cause of her death was hypovolemia, an abnormal decrease in blood volume, and shock caused by "retained products of conception," including the embryo, Dr. Hugh White told the inquest.
Is this the new "PC" term for a baby?..."retained product of conception"??? WTH??? Maybe she feared for her life from a "conflict within her "Muslim" boyfriend's family".

Holy crap. That's really stretching the "clump of cells" meme! I would think the correct term would be "died from complications arising from an abortifacient".

Retained products of conception are the tissues additional to the embryo eg the beginnings of the placenta, which remain after a miscarriage or abortion. If not removed they can cause infection.

Oh. It sounds so odd though.

Must be something lost in the translation from English to American.
