Searches: Belkis Gonzales, Linda Boom, born-alive babies, and more

  • Belkis Gonzalez: Owner of a seedy abortion mill in Miramar, Florida. Busted on two felony counts related to illegal abortions.

  • Linda Boom: Wisconsin school teacher who died in 1995 from complications of a safe and legal saline abortion she'd undergone because she'd learned that her baby had Down syndrome. Click here for a radio broadcast in which a father remembers his son with Down syndrome.

  • Born alive babies: I have stories here and here, and there's a fairly recent case here. There's a collection of other stories, with pictures, here. Other kids include Ximena Renearts, Phoenix Doe, Baby Rowan, and Baby Claire (pictured, with her older sister). Hear Barack Obama say for himself why he opposes mandating care for these babies:



  • Coathanger abortion: Powerful image, but how true to life?

  • Self abortions: Some fatal ones are here. To get more of a medical and social context, see 19th Century Abortion Cases and Other Self-Injury

  • Women's Clinic Baton Rouge: I have Delta Women's Clinic of Baton Rouge, which is a pretty seedy place. Ingar Weber died after an abortion at Delta in 1990. Sheila Hebert died after an abortion there in 1984. Delta's abortionist, James Whitmore III, lost his license to practice medicine in 2002. The board had found Whitmore guilty of disregarding basic santitation, being rude to patients, and failing to provide proper care to a woman whose uterus he had perforated during an abortion. The woman ended up needing a hysterectomy.

  • Abortion videos: I have an excellent collection of abortion videos here.

  • 13-week fetus -- and 20-week fetus.

  • Abortion 1968: I have Stella Saenz, who died from a safe and legal abortion in 1968. Nancy Ward's fatal 1968 abortion was retroactively declared legal, and presumably it was rendered safe and Nancy restored to life, since only the bad, illegal kind of abortion is deadly.

  • Mayfair Clinic Colorado: the National Abortion Federation member that failed to properly resusciate Christi Stile, leaving her in permanently incapacitated:



  • Fetus after abortion: Not a pretty sight.

  • Ectopic survival: Rare, but not unheard-of.
