Judge rules lawsuit against New Mexico late-term abortionist can go to trial

A missing comma, an abortionist moonlighting as a professor, and a public university that does research on aborted babies are all relevant facts of a judge’s ruling in New Mexico that will send an abortionist to trial.

Late-term abortionist, Curtis Boyd, who runs Southwestern Women’s Options (SWO), tried to get a judge to dismiss a lawsuit filed by a former patient, but the judge denied that request, paving the way for a jury to determine whether Boyd had a right to harvest the body parts of her aborted baby and use them for research at the University of New Mexico (UNM).

Boyd and his late-term abortion facility have been mired in controversy on a national level since coming under fire by a congressional committee for his work with the University of New Mexico, where the abortionist serves as adjunct faculty. That work as an adjunct is one of the primary issues that is sending this case to a jury. Boyd has already been criticized because he works for a public university while operating a late-term abortion facility, blurring the line on using public funds to help commit abortions. Former abortionist, Dr. Anthony Levatino, explains the D&E abortion below, typically committed between 13 and 24 weeks gestation:

2nd Trimester Surgical Abortion: Dilation and Evacuation (D & E)

For later-term abortions, Boyd and SWO may use the induction method.

According to New Mexico Alliance for Life (NMAFL):

As the House Select Investigative Panel on Infant Lives, noted, that was in keeping with what Congress found. Committee chair Rep. Marsha Blackburn said:

The Select Panel, chaired by Blackburn, likewise, took issue with the inadequate consent forms from Boyd’s abortion facility, addressing this deficiency in its final report last year (p. 246-248).

According to the hearing transcript, Duran’s attorney, Michael Seibel, argued:

The judge agreed. While some of the claims could not be addressed due expired statute of limitations, the deficiencies of the consent can be brought to trial.

NMAFL continues:

Ironically, the judge, a former English major, pointed out that a missing comma was at the crux of some of the confusion. He said:

The consent form comma debacle will probably make abortionists check their grammar on consent forms, after they hear of this ruling, though there was more at issue than simply a missing comma. The consent form was posted by AbortionDocs.com. This copy of the SWO 2012 consent form shows the missing comma that impacted the judge’s conclusion:

Judge Campbell continued:

And that fact is what makes Boyd’s work at the university a conflict of interest for him as an abortionist, Judge Campbell notes:

Elisa Martinez, executive director of the New Mexico Alliance for Life, reiterated the judge’s point, saying, “This is a monumental finding by the court. It shows UNM was not authorized to do any research using aborted infant bodies from Curtis Boyd’s abortion business, and thousands of women were deceived who now deserve justice.”

The ruling by Judge Campbell denies the request for dismissal from Boyd and SWO to dismiss Duran’s lawsuit, and it paves the way for a jury trail; no date has been set for that trial.
