An abortion-related suicide anniversary

Carol Cunningham was 21 years old when she underwent an abortion in the late summer of 1986. On August 22, she shut herself up in her garage at her home in Albuquerque, and started her car. She died from breathing the exhaust fumes. Her body was discovered on August 25, 1986.

It's been documented that suicide is more common after abortion than after childbirth, or in the woman who has not experienced pregnancy. (Actually, all forms of violent death are more common in post-abortion women.) A few of the women and girls who took their lives following abortions include:

Arlin della Cruz, age 19
Sandra Kaiser, age 14
"Sandra" Roe, age 18
Stacy Zallie, age 20
Laura Grunas, age 30
Haley Mason, age 22

The Centers for Disease Control also stumbled across some post-abortion suicide cases in their study of post-abortion mortality.
