"Yvonne" Roe is one of the women Life Dynamics notes on their "Blackmun Wall" of women killed by legalized abortion. I have since learned her name and will use the pseudonym "Glynnis Fletcher." 

Glynnis was a 19-year-old student who died from sepsis on November 9, 1999 in at West Jefferson Medical Center in Marrero, Louisiana, after undergoing a safe and legal abortion. According to her obituary, she had lingered for a long time before her death.

Glynnis had been an All-American cheerleader and a member of the National Honor Society. The abortion intended to keep her bright future open for her robbed her of any future at all.

Life Dynamics cites the Clarion Ledger, November 11, 1999, and indicates that though they have information giving Yvonne's real name, they can not release it due to a confidentiality agreement.
