Hyannis, MA (LifeNews.com) -- A leading pro-life group is reacting to the not guilty plea abortion practitioner Rapin Osathanondh entered yesterday.

Osathanondh says his medical negligence was not responsible for the abortion death of Laura Smith, a 22-year-old who died after he botched abortion procedure.

Osathanondh did the abortion in September that killed Smith and he was arraigned Thursday in Barnstable Superior Court.

Osathanondh was indicted by a grand jury after an investigation by local police, state police and the Massachusetts Board of Registration in Medicine.

The investigation uncovered a lack of life-saving equipment, a failure to monitor the patient, the delay in calling 911, and an effort to cover up his negligence.

Troy Newman of Operation Rescue aid the medical negligence in the Smith case is not unique to the abortion industry. He indicated woman across the country are threatened by abortion practitioners who are less then skillful.

"The deficiencies and negligence that led to Laura's death are not unique to this particular abortionist," he said. "These kinds of conditions exist at abortion mills across the nation. Laura's death serves as a warning to all women.

When women walk into America's abortion mill, they are playing Russian Roulette with their lives," he explained.
