Los Angeles, CA (LifeNews.com) -- As the Centers for Disease Control investigates why four California women have died after using the abortion drug RU 486, new details are emerging about one woman's recent death. All of the deaths appear to have involved infections brought on by the mifepristone abortion drug and misuse of the abortion pills by Planned Parenthood.

Oriane Shevin, a 34 year-old woman from Sherman Oaks, in southern California, is the latest to die from using the abortion pills. She passed away June 14 after she took the Mifeprex abortion drug and the misoprostol pill to have an abortion.

Shevin, an attorney and mother of two children, was taken by ambulance to Encino-Tarzana Regional Medical Center and doctors said she died from sepsis, a blood infection that was also responsible for the September 2003 death of Holly Patterson.

The CDC and state officials are investigating the deaths and trying to determine whether the misuse of the drugs is to blame.
