There are many lessons to be learned from the tragic case of Manon Jones, the 18-year old British girl who died from a botched abortion three years ago but whose legal inquest was just held in Flax Bourton. Among the grave mistakes Manon made which others should carefully avoid are Manon's abandonment of her Christian teaching to become "besotted" with a Muslim college boy and become sexually involved with him. The worst decision then followed, submitting their preborn child to the cruel butchery of an abortionist.It's interesting to note that the Mail (U.K.) news story gives no information about the abortionist or even the abortion center where the malpractice occurred. But an even worse example of the newspaper's protection of the abortion industry is the description of the prostaglandin abortifacient which killed Manon's baby and ultimately Manon herself as..."medication."
Mrs Jones travelled to Bristol on June 11, 2005 to be with her daughter, who had taken medication to terminate the pregnancy the day before. She said: 'She was scared. It was a very emotional experience for us both to witness her pass her baby and my grandchild into the bedpan.'
The powerful, deadly chemical that caused the awful moment just described could be properly called many things. But "medication" isn't one of them.
Following the abortion procedure, Manon was sick and bleeding excessively. But in a subsequent visit to the hospital (the story doesn't indicate whether it was Bristol's Southmead Hospital where Manon passed away or another hospital), she was told everything was normal.
It wasn't.
Yet thus assured, Manon went ahead with her plans to travel abroad with friends for a holiday. Her condition worsened still so she came back to England and was booked into the hospital. She died four days later. As the newspaper describes it:
When Mrs Jones arrived her daughter had already been sent to the intensive care unit, following seizures and cardiac arrest.
Mrs Jones said: 'I stayed with her at the bedside all day and all night and gradually realised that Manon had already left us and was not likely to recover'. Over the next few days the family and Mr Muzzafar sat with Miss Jones. Mrs Jones said: 'We kept talking to her, stroking her soft hair, holding her bruised hands clinging to any hope that she might pull through somehow while the doctors kept her vital organs stable and carried out various tests.'
On June 27 doctors took the decision to turn off Miss Jones' life support. Dr Hugh White told the inquest a post-mortem examination revealed Miss Jones died of hypovolemia, an abnormal decrease in blood volume and shock caused by retaining the embryo.
