Two safe, legal anniversaries

Elise Kalat was 22 years old when she had an abortion sometime around February 10, 1987. Two days after the abortion, her bronchial tubes went into spasms and caused her to go into respiratory arrest. She died at Memorial Hospital in Worcester, Massachusetts on February 12, 1987.

Bonnie Fix, a mother of four, was admitted to Fresno Community Hospital on February 7, 1974. Doctors there performed an abdominal hysterectomy on Bonnie. Several days after her hysterectomy, Bonnie began to suffer bowel and lung problems. She suffered cardiac arrest and was pronounced dead on February 12. Codes used at the state registrar's office indicate that an abortion had been induced on Bonnie for medical reasons.
