A new unredacted autopsy report in the US confirms 18-year-old Lexi Arguello died from complications of a second-trimester abortion at a Colorado Planned Parenthood abortion clinic.

The county coroner pushed to keep information regarding the abortion redacted from the report, citing “Colorado’s strong public policy in favor of protecting reproductive healthcare [sic]” and arguing that women might be dissuaded from seeking abortions, but was ordered by a judge to release the public records in accordance with the law.

According to LIfeNews, the Larimer County coroner/medical examiner’s report states that Arguello “died of complications of surgical pregnancy termination, including disseminated intravascular coagulation,” or abnormal blood clotting that can be life-threatening, with “probable amniotic fluid embolism, refractory shock, and multiorgan failure” as “significant contributing conditions.” Arguello was nearly 22 weeks pregnant and underwent a D&E dismemberment abortion at Planned Parenthood in Fort Collins.

The influential US group, SBA Pro-Life America reported: “According to Lexi’s grandparents, instead of calling for an ambulance immediately, Fort Collins Planned Parenthood admitted they waited too long to call for help and they specifically requested no sirens on the ride to the hospital.Despite receiving a blood transfusion, on February 6, 2025, Arguello died at the hospital.

Reacting to the autopsy report, Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America President Marjorie Dannenfelser said: “Lexi Arguello’s autopsy is definitive: Another young mom has been killed by abortion and Planned Parenthood. Arguello’s death isn’t just a tragedy, it is a pattern of callousness on the part of America’s largest abortion business. Even The New York Times now admits Planned Parenthood provides shoddy so-called ‘care’ and harms women, on top of ending a record 434,000 unborn lives in a single year. Pro-life laws protect unborn children and women, but the Big Abortion industry doesn’t care about babies or mothers – they care about their profits. How many more victims are out there, whose names we do not even know, thanks to officials like the coroner who are more concerned about running cover than letting the truth come out?”
