Pro-life organization investigating after teen dies from Planned Parenthood abortion complication

A Christian pro-life organization is demanding justice for 18-year-old Alexis “Lexi” Arguello, who died in February of complications from a second-trimester abortion she had obtained at a Colorado-based Planned Parenthood.

Operation Rescue Chief Operating Officer Sarah Neely said in a March 13 press release that her organization has been working for weeks to gather information on the death to determine what exactly took place. Operation Rescue’s investigation is ongoing. A testimony at the Colorado Committee of Health and Human Services (HHS) March 12 hearing about House Bill 25-1252, a bill on regulating abortion facilities, provided another perspective regarding Lexi’s death. 

In her testimony, Dr. Keri Kasun, a pharmaceutical medical professional, explained that one of Lexi’s family members connected with her, seeking answers about the medical complication that Lexi experienced after the abortion. 

Lexi was 22 weeks pregnant when she went to the Fort Collins Planned Parenthood to abort the child, according to Kasun. Kasun said Lexi’s grandfather told her what happened when he and his wife were called to the hospital on Feb. 6 – the day they learned that Lexi was pregnant and the day that Lexi died.

“[Lexi’s grandfather] could see the heroic efforts the doctors were doing to save her life, and he could see the deep concern in their faces that the situation was very dire,” Kasun said. “Her vitals were all over the place, the oxygen levels were horrible. After multiple doses of epi and seven liters of blood, his granddaughter’s blood pressure dropped — her heart rate and blood pressure dropped — and he [had] seen in his granddaughter’s face that it was her end.”
