November 9, 1988: Multiple Organ Failure After Safe and Legal Abortion

Grady Memorial Hospital
Demetrice Andrews, age 22, underwent an abortion on October 17, 1988. She became progressively ill, and was finally admitted to Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta. 

Demetrice suffered multiple organ failure. This young black woman died on November 9, 1988. 

It is sadly ironic that Demetrice was admitted to Grady to be treated for abortion complications. Another woman, Jacqueline Reynolds, died just two years earlier, from complications of anesthesia administered for an abortion performed at Grady.
