In September 2003, 18-year-old Holly Patterson, who was seven weeks pregnant, walked into a Planned Parenthood clinic in California and began the chemical abortion pill regimen. One week later, she died in a local hospital after going into septic shock from a bacterial infection, Clostridium sordelli. Her father, Monty Patterson, has spent the years since her death highlighting the dangers of the abortion pill. “I’m not pro-life or pro-choice,” he said in one interview, “I’m pro-Holly.” He described the look of fear in her eyes at the hospital shortly before she died.
