The 12-year-old would not speak about the incident with her mother, but she did tell her that she was experiencing stomach pains. She brought her daughter to a doctor who performed an ultrasound confirming that she was pregnant. The father had previously tried to kill the preborn child by forcing his daughter to drink wine, but that was unsuccessful.
Her mother scheduled an abortion with Southwestern Women’s Options (SWO) in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The facility does not offer overnight accommodations but directs patients to stay at nearby hotels with reduced "medical stay" rates. Because the baby was over 22 weeks in development, the girl was to undergo a dilation and evacuation procedure. An abortionist injected the baby with digoxin and then inserted materials into the 12-year-old's cervix that would cause it to open overnight, according to the deposition.
The abortionist planned to remove the deceased child from its mother's womb the next day. The dilation and evacuation procedure involves reaching into the womb with tools that allow an abortionist to tear limbs off a child's body until all that remains is the head. The head is then crushed and removed from the womb piece by piece.
That evening, however, the 12-year old went into labor. She was told to sit on the toilet until the abortionist arrived. "So, what I did was I cut the cord, and I placed it in a bag," she said.
Eric Lacy was convicted of rape and sentenced to 50 years in jail.
