Angela Satterfield20s, 1990s, ectopic, hemorrhagedeath, oklahomaSUMMARY: Angela Satterfield, age 23, died October 15, 1990 after an abortion at Statewide Clinic in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

On October 15, 1990, 23-year-old Angela Satterfield underwent a legal abortion at Statewide Clinic in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

The abortionist did not diagnose Angela’s ectopic pregnancy. He simply performed an abortion procedure and sent her home.

That evening, the undiagnosed ectopic pregnancy ruptured. Angela was found dead in her home. She had hemorrhaged.

Her death certificate only mentions the ectopic pregnancy and the hemorrhage, but her autopsy notes the failure of the abortionist to diagnose the ectopic pregnancy.

Her husband, Timothy Lee Satterfield, was left to raise their 15-month-old daughter alone. Angela’s brother, Robert Wanner, said that a doctor had advised her to have an abortion The doctor in question charged $1,500 for an abortion, so Angela went to the clinic where she could have the abortion done for $250. Thus, not one but two doctors failed to diagnose the ectopic pregnancy.

Even though, in theory, women who choose abortion should be less likely to die of ectopic pregnancy complications, experiences shows that they’re actually //more// likely to die, due to sloppy practices by abortion practitioners.
