PRESS RELEASE: New Mexico Abortionist Faces Discipline for Botched 35 Week Abortion
By, Operation Rescue
November 12, 2012
Albuquerque, NM – Acting on complaints filed by Operation Rescue and Project Defending Life, the New Mexico Medical Board (NMMB) has filed a Notice of Contemplated Action alleging gross negligence against late-term abortionist Shelley Sella during a 35-week abortion that landed the woman in the hospital with a ruptured uterus.
“Shelley Sella has a long and sordid history. We have been looking forward to the day when she would be held accountable for her abortion abuses. That day has finally arrived,” said Cheryl Sullenger, Senior Policy Advisor for Operation Rescue.
The abortion took place on May 12, 2011. Tara Shaver of Project Defending Life obtained a copy of the 911 call placed that day, which revealed incriminating details of the medical emergency. Mrs. Shaver worked with Operation Rescue to file a series of complaints that resulted in the Board’s action.
A hearing will be held on November 29-30 to determine what, if any, disciplinary action the Board will take, which could include suspension or revocation of Sella’s New Mexico medical license.
NMMB documents state that Sella wrongly conducted the dangerous 35-week abortion in a clinic setting instead of a hospital and disregarded the patient’s history of a previous Caesarean Section delivery. A Caesarean Section weakens the uterus, increasing the risks of rupture during subsequent labors. Sella is also accused of over-using uterine stimulants, which contributed to the life-threatening rupture.
Sella is a former associate of the late George Tiller, having worked for him at his infamous late-term abortion clinic in Wichita, Kansas. After that clinic closed in 2009, Sella went to work for Curtis Boyd at Southwestern Women’s Options in Albuquerque, New Mexico, an affiliate of the troubled National Abortion Federation, conducting the same grisly late-term abortion procedure she learned in Wichita.
Sella cancelled her Kansas medical license the same week the Kansas State Board of Healing Arts notified Operation Rescue that a disciplinary petition had been filed against one of Sella’s Kansas co-workers, Ann Kristin Neuhaus, who had provided improper late-term abortion referrals to Tiller’s abortion clinic.
Testimony taken during Neuhaus’ disciplinary hearings indicated that late-term abortions done in Kansas by Sella were in fact illegal. The KSBHA revoked Neuhaus’ medical license, but because Sella had previously surrendered her license, she was outside their jurisdiction and avoided accountability for her actions.
Sella also works as an abortionist for Planned Parenthood in California.

November Newsletter: The Calvary Has Arrived!
The Calvary Has Arrived!
This month, the 40 Days For Life campaign was out in full force! We are so pleased that during this campaign Calvary of Albuquerque stepped up in a big way. On October 31st, one of Calvary’s designated days to pray at Planned Parenthood about 30 people
came to stand for life. Calvary of ABQ also has their own Christian radio station 107.1 KNKT, and Peter Benson who hosts ABQ Connect aired his show on location at Planned Parenthood on October 31st and interviewed Bud along with some other local pro-life organizations including: Care Net, Birthright, New Mexico Right to Life, and Aspen Project-an adoption agency.

Also, this month the first of a series of videos was finished titled: “The Calvary Has Arrived” you can watch this encouraging 11 min. promo video here at our blog. Calvary of Albuquerque is the largest Christian Church by attendance in the entire state of New Mexico! It is encouraging to see them step up in a big way! A vital part of our ministry consists of helping to educate and activate the Christian community to stand for life. This month we are seeing the fruit of this effort. God is moving the biggest hearts, Churches, and mountains in New Mexico!
The Survivors Campus Life Tour was in town this month. We love having them join us at the clinics and doing outreach at the local colleges and high schools. Education is key in abortion prevention.

“The Campus Life Team is COMMITTED. After stopping in an Albuquerque shopping center to order pizza for dinner, the team noticed a Planned Parenthood a few doors down. They placed their order, grabbed some sidewalk chalk, and spent all the time it took to make the pizza writing pro-life messages across the walk in front of PP's door. Unwavering abolitionists! “
Sidewalk Testimonies
This month out at late-term abortion mill SWO as I approached a woman in her car who was leaving the parking lot I noticed tears in her eyes but she was smiling, and said "Thank you, I didn't do it! I just could not do it!" I gave her local resources just in case she needed anything. Praise God! Another sidewalk counselor was able to pray and minister to a woman who had come to schedule an abortion. We are confident and prayerful that she will not have the abortion! We also spoke with a young father for quite a while who was open and honest. He brought his girlfriend for an abortion and she did go through with it. However, after our conversation he stated that our talk had changed his perspective and changed him. He openly stated that he was ashamed of himself. He was sorry that we met at an abortion clinic. He wanted us to know that he would never do this again, he was going to try to marry his girlfriend and he wished he would see us again "Not like this...Maybe at the mall."
This month a young man walked through the parking lot headed toward late-term abortion mill SWO. He was offered a gift packet that has been put together to hand out. He remarked "I can't say no to a gift." When asked why he was headed into SWO, he replied that his mother worked there and he was getting a ride home. He remarked when prodded that he did not like that his mom worked at an abortion clinic. He was encouraged to talk to his mom about his concerns...because according to one sidewalk counselor, "A mom always listens to her children." Pray that this is the seed that is planted that brings his mother out of the abortion industry!
This month after urgently ministering to a couple from California we realized they had come for a late-term abortion and that it was too late for the child, when we are at a loss for words and struggling to understand how best to serve the couples who refuse our resources...Prayer remains our most precious resource. Our God is bigger than the greatest mountains we face!
Wow, what a great witness to the community....this month, instead of meeting in their home or a coffee shop two women’s groups had their ladies weekly/monthly meeting on the sidewalks in front of abortion clinics SWO and UNMCRH. They are sharing fellowship here, praying here, worshiping here, lighting up the darkness, and sharing the love of Christ!
