Yet Another Mother Loses Her Life at a Melbourne Abortion Facility

Harjit Kaur, (pictured with her two young children, two and four) tragically lost her life after at a Melbourne abortion facility in January 2024

The events surrounding the tragic death of Harjit Kaur during an abortion in Melbourne in January have baffled the NZ medical professional we spoke to, and raised some glaring media inconsistencies.

Earlier this month, the Australian media reported the story about Harjit Kaur, a 30 year old mother of three who died during a surgical abortion at Hampton Park Women's Health Clinic in Melbourne, Australia.

According to reports, Harjit Kaur had just landed a new IT job with footwear giant Nike and was preparing to buy a family home with her husband, Sukhjinder Singh.

The couple had two other children, a four-year-old daughter and two-year-old son, and their third child died with her mother during the abortion, which was carried out on Friday 12th January this year.

Media coverage indicates that their third child was unexpected, and that Kaur felt she was not mentally, physically and financially ready for more children, so the couple opted to have the child aborted.

On the day of the abortion, Kaur messaged her husband just before 1pm to tell him that she was about to go into the surgical theatre to have the abortion and that she would make contact with him again afterwards.

However, about an hour or so later, the abortionist, Dr Rudolph 'Rudy' Lopes, called Kaur’s husband, Sukhjinder Singh, to tell him that the abortion had been completed, but when they moved his wife into the general ward her heartbeat had stopped and there was now an ambulance there giving her CPR.

Singh immediately drove to the hospital to try and see his wife, but was denied admission to the general ward, and then, minutes later, a doctor came out and told him "sorry your wife is dead".

An investigation involving the Victorian police and coroner is now underway to determine the cause of Kaur's death, and reports indicate that abortionist Dr Rudy Lopes has stood down voluntarily in the meantime.

It is not clear yet whether the actions of the Dr. Lopes or the anaesthetist involved in the abortion caused the death of Harjit Kaur.

However, there are some concerning issues raised by this incident that have left at least one New Zealand medical professional questioning what has been reported about this incident.

New Zealand medical professional baffled by Harjit Kaur’s death…

A New Zealand healthcare professional we spoke to about the case raised questions about why exactly they were performing a surgical abortion in the first place.

Usually a chemical abortion (commonly known as a ‘medical’ abortion) would be utilised in the early stages of a pregnancy. The healthcare professional told us that the use of a surgical abortion could indicate that this was a late term abortion.

Media reporting states that Harjit Kaur first discovered she was pregnant in early January and that the abortion took place less than two weeks later.

If Kaur was only in her first trimester, then the normal procedure is to abort the unborn child using a chemical (medical) abortion, with surgical abortions usually only utilised at 14 weeks and beyond due to the high failure rate of chemical (medical) abortions after this time.

Some coverage indicates that, during consultation with a nurse, Harjit Kaur was told that a chemical (medical) abortion would cause heavy bleeding and pain which could last for 30 days, and that there was no guarantee it would work, in which case, a surgical abortion would then be required.

The NZ medical professional we spoke to said this could point to a late term abortion, or, even the troubling possibility that there was some form of ‘upselling’ going on to try and make money from this particular abortion. Either way, there are some confusing aspects here which could point to something more troubling, or an attempt to hide the full story from the public.

Whatever the situation, the comprehensive details of this awful situation will likely not be made public for many months, possibly even years. By this time, the death of Harjit Kaur and her unborn child may well have slipped from public attention, effectively burying yet another case of serious harm at a Melbourne abortion facility.

Melbourne anaesthetist James Latham Peters was jailed for 14 years after deliberately infecting 50 pregnant women with hepatitis C at a Melbourne abortion facility.

Just the latest in a litany of women killed or seriously harmed by Melbourne abortion facilities…

This year’s tragic death of Harjit Kaur is not the first time a mother has died during an abortion at a Melbourne abortion facility.

In 2011, a 42 year old mother died after undergoing an abortion at the Marie Stopes International Maroondah abortion facility, formerly known as the ‘Croydon Day Surgery’, in Melbourne.

That same abortion facility has a dark past, having been officially investigated on four other occasions prior to the 2011 death.

Several years after the 2011 death, James Latham Peters, an anaesthetist who worked at the abortion facility, was jailed for 14 years after he was found guilty of deliberately infecting 50 women with Hepatitis C when he worked there in 2008 and 2009.

In 2009, the abortion facility’s owner, Dr Mark Schulberg, was found guilty of unprofessional conduct for allowing a late-term abortion to be performed on an intellectually disabled woman without legal consent.

In 2013 he was struck off the Australian medical register for inappropriately prescribing patients with addictive drugs for nearly 10 years. Astoundingly, reporting about this from at least one mainstream media outlet began by decrying Schulberg’s medical de-reregistration as a loss for Australian women, claiming it could leave them “helpless” if they wanted a late-term abortion.

One of the most glaring aspects of this latest death of a mother during an abortion, is the muted nature of the media attention it has received.

When we contrast this with the wall-to-wall coverage given to the death of any pregnant mother, in a country with restrictive abortion laws, when pro-abortion activists loudly declare that abortion would have saved the mother’s life, the inconstancy at work here becomes apparent.

The sad and awful truth is that Harjit Kaur’s husband and remaining children would still have a wife and mother if they had received caring support and encouragement to pursue a more humane alternative to abortion after discovering she was pregnant.

That did not happen, and so now the media machine will do everything in its power to protect the pro-abortion ideology and the practical outcomes it has created in our societies from proper scrutiny and questioning.
