Tran
Note: Tran was a patient at the Contra Costa center, but the center has since closed. The affiliate was included in the lawsuit, so the information is listed here.
Excerpt:
The husband of a Fountain Valley woman who died after taking the so-called abortion pill RU-486 has sued the drug’s manufacturers and a local Planned Parenthood, accusing them of not warning her of the drug’s risks . . .
Tran died Dec. 29, 2003 – six days after beginning the drugs’ cycle. She was 22. An autopsy revealed evidence of sepsis, an illness caused by infection in the bloodstream, according to the complaint.
The Federal Drug Administration in July issued a public health advisory warning after four women in California, including Tran, died from sepsis after taking the drugs. The first U.S. death was reported in September 2003; a death in Canada was reported in 2001 . . .
Also named is Planned Parenthood of Orange and San Bernardino Counties . .
Tran, a former education student at Santa Ana College, received the drugs Dec. 23, 2003, at the Planned Parenthood in Costa Mesa . . . Had she known of the risks, she would not have taken the drug or would have gotten the medical attention necessary to save her life, the lawsuit said.

Lee
People vs. Lee No. A124735 Appeals Court Decision
Excerpt:
Approximately two to three months after the touching began, appellant started putting his penis in K.’s vagina. K. remembered that the first time it happened, she had gone into appellant’s bedroom and a pornographic movie was playing on the television; appellant told her to watch the movie. After touching K. all over her body, including her buttocks, breasts, and vagina, appellant got on top of her and put his penis in her vagina, which hurt K.. Although K. cried and told him to stop, appellant continued to have intercourse with K. for 30 to 40 minutes. After this incident, appellant would have sex with K. every day after her mother left for work. This pattern occurred for approximately four years. K. estimated that appellant had sex with her “hundreds of times.”
In the fall of 2001, when she was 13 years old, K. began to feel nauseous. One day, appellant handed K. a pregnancy test and told her to take it. After taking the test, appellant took it from her without ever telling K. the results. A week later, appellant picked K. up from school and drove her to Planned Parenthood to take another pregnancy test. K. was “shocked” to learn that she was four months pregnant . . . On December 13, 2001, appellant drove K. to an abortion clinic, where she had an abortion.
In April 2002, the family moved to Las Vegas, where appellant continued to sexually molest K. on a daily basis, sometimes up to three or four times a day. The assaults finally stopped when appellant was imprisoned for a parole violation.

But in many clinics, they also draw blood and take vital signs. Medical assistants in Ohio, Minnesota, Arizona, California, New York, Texas, Indiana and Illinois said they practiced blood draws and I.V. placements for an hour or so on a fake arm and then on a colleague before performing the procedures in clinics. But they said they sometimes ran into problems, and some said they did not know what to do when they arose.
