"abortion 40's"

Whoever came searching for this ended up with information about abortion in the 1940s, when I think they were probably looking for women who had abortions in their 40's.

So, without further ado:

Age 40:
  • Sophia Hartozinski died of an illegal abortion in 1923.
  • Mary Ann Page died of an illegal abortion in 1940.
  • Luz Rodriguez died from a safe and legal abortion in 1986.
  • Pauline Roberson Shirley, according to an unverified NOW report, died form a self-induced abortion in 1940.

    Age 41:

  • Minnie Lathan died from a safe, legal abortion in 1978.

    Age 42:
