September 8, 1923: Who Killed Madge?

Garfield Park Hospital

On September 8, 1923, 16-year-old Magdeline "Madge" Bowman died at Chicago's Garfield Park Hospital from an abortion performed there that day.

It's actually likely, given errors in the Homicide in Chicago Interactive Database, that the abortion was perpetrated elsewhere and Madge was taken to Garfield Park Hospital.

According to Illinois death records, Madge was a Chicago native, the daughter of Charles C. and May Kowald Bowman.

Midwife Kate Sauer, age 60, and a 20-year-old man named Walter Page were arrested on October 5 based on Madge's dying declaration, but Sauer's case didn't go to court until March of 1925.

The Homicide in Chicago Database says that Seuer was acquitted. I don't see an outcome for Walter Page.

Veteran pro-life investigator Kevin Sherlock asks people of good will to help him have Planned Parenthood prosecuted for profiteering from the rapes and incests of underage girls many thousands of times each year.

Sherlock has pulled the police records of hundreds of cities and has pulled the child protective services records of multiple states to prove Planned Parenthood staffers are violating mandated reporting laws designed to protect girl victims. But there is more to be done. Sherlock will make sure more and more evidence gets to federal and state prosecutors who care about protecting girls from abusers and profiteers.

Sherlock has talked to many girls and young women who trust him. Their stories and the forensic evidence shows most of them undergo pill abortions or humiliating invasive surgical abortions due to fear or ignorance or pressure or coercion. He treats the girls or women carrying children or devastated from their abortions as friends and neighbors in his home town, not afterthoughts.

September 8, 1973: Teen Dies after Hospital Abortion

Inglewood Women's Hospital reopens as a clinic

Seventeen-year-old Kathy Murphy went to Inglewood Women's Hospital in Los Angeles County for an abortion on August 24, 1973.

Even though western abortionists had been warned that Japan and the Soviet Union had abandoned saline abortions because they had a dismaying tendance to cause brain damage or death to the mothers, the method was widely adopted in the United States anyway.

That's the kind of abortion was selected for this teenager girl.

During the days after her abortion, Kathy suffered breathing problems and became semi-conscious, so Inglewood staff transferred her by ambulance to Centinela Hospital on September 7.

Later that night, Centinela transferred Kathy back to Inglewood, where John Dupont pronounced her dead at 1:20 on the morning of September 8.

The autopsy found that Kathy had died of sepsis from the abortion; her cervix and uterus were infected, and her cervix covered with greenish-black pus.

The Inglewood facility was far better at evading responsibility than it was at providing adequate care. After Kathy's death, the next woman to die was 22-year-old Lynette Wallace, who underwent an abortion at "Inglewood Women's Hospital" on September 13, 1975, just a little over two years after Kathy Murphy's death.

Elizabeth Tsuji was the next to die. She had a saline abortion on February 2, 1978. The next to die was Cora Mae Lewis, age 23, following abortion under general anesthesia in 1983.

Yvonne Tanner died next. The 22-year-old mother of one had an abortion performed July 10, 1984 at Inglewood. The last death I know about at Inglewood was Belinda Ann Byrd, a 37-year-old mother of three. She underwent an abortion by Steve Pine at Inglewood on January 24, 1987, when she was 19 weeks pregnant.

Belinda Byrd

Belinda's mother wrote to a Los Angeles district attorney: “I am the mother of Belinda Byrd, victim of abortionists at [Inglewood]. I am also the grandmother of her three young children who are left behind and motherless. I cry every day when I think how horrible her death was. She was slashed by them and then she bled to death ... and nobody cares. I know that other young black women are now dead after abortion at that address. ... Where is [the abortionist] now? Has he been stopped? Has anything happened to him because of what he did to my Belinda? Has he served jail time for any of these cruel deaths? People tell me nothing has happened, that nothing ever happens to white abortionists who leave young black women dead. I’m hurting real bad and want some justice for Belinda and all other women who go like sheep to slaughter.”

In the wake of the series of abortion deaths at Inglewood, the authorities inspected the place. Among other things, they caught an abortionist writing post-operative examination notes without even examining the patients. When the state closed Inglewood for numerous violations, the facility simply re-opened as Inglewood Women's Clinic; as a clinic rather than a hospital they were no longer subject to the same intense scrutiny and were able to remain in business.

September 8, 2009: Planned Parenthood Brings Death to Another Black Woman

A smiling Black teenage girl with long, straightened hair, wearing a low-cut white sweather and holding up a bottle of sparking cider.

Roselle proudly celebrating non-alcoholic
just two months before her fatal abortion.

Roselle Owens was a vibrant 17-year-old high school student, thinking ahead to college, when she discovered that she was pregnant in 2009.

She made the mistake of entrusting herself to Planned Parenthood of New York City. She went to the Margaret Sanger Center for an abortion on the morning of April 11. Dr. Gerald Zupnick, who has a history of malpractice, performed the abortion under general anesthesia. The anesthesia was contracted out to employees of Somnia, also called Outpatient Anesthesia Services.

Zupnick noted in the operative report that the abortion was "uneventful," completing the procedure at 9:20 a.m. Shortly thereafter, staff found that Roselle's breathing was labored and her blood oxygen levels had fallen. A lawsuit filed by Roselle's half-brother on behalf of himself, Roselle's father, and her twin brother asserted that neither Somnia employees, Zupnick, or Planned Parenthood's other staff properly monitored Roselle. The ambulance was not summoned for her until 9:43 a.m., over 20 minutes after the abortion was completed. EMS services transported Roselle to St. Vincent's Medical Center at 10:05 a.m.

Staff at the hospital were able to stabilize Roselle, but the damage had already been done. Roselle remained on a ventilator at St. Vincent's until her death on September 8. She died when she should have been just getting settled into her new college life.

Both Zupnick and Planned Parenthood settled off-the-books, thus ending the paper trail.

Roselle Owens isn't the only woman to die from complications of a Planned Parenthood abortion.

No Friend to Black Women

Taking Margaret Sanger's name off the clinic where Roselle suffered her fatal injuries does nothing to change a disturbing pattern at Planned Parenthood: It's disproportionately been Black women dying from Planned Parenthood abortions. According to Grok AI, Planned Parenthood reports that only about 14% of their abortion patients are black. So why do the deaths I've learned about disproportionately happen to black women? Of the 12 Planned Parenthood abortion deaths I know of, 5 of them -- 42% -- were black women.

Alexis "Lexi" Arguello was only 18 years old when she underwent an abortion at the Fort Collins, CO, Planned Parenthood in 2025. Planned Parenthood did an abortion her at 22 weeks even though their website says that they only do abortions up to 19 weeks and 6 days. She had developed a clotting disorder due to an amniotic fluid embolism -- a known possible complication that requires swift and decisive action to save the woman's life. Instead, Planned Parenthood requested an ambulance with no lights and sirens, delaying care. Her grandfather, who hadn't known about the pregnancy, rushed to the hospital as doctors did everything they could to save her, including multiple doses of epinephrine and seven liters of blood. She died as he watched helplessly.

Alyona Dixon got abortion pills at a Nevada Planned Parenthood in September of 2022. Although research had shown that vaginal administration of misoprostol puts women at risk of sudden onset fatal toxic shock syndrome, Planned Parenthood instructed Alyona to take this risk. There's no evidence that she was informed of the risk of toxic shock syndrome, and there clearly was no arrangement for aftercare by a provider who would be alert to this deadly possibility. She ended up going septic and dying. Her death broke the streak of exclusively dead black woman at Planned Parenthood.

Cree Erwin-Shephard, age 24, suffered internal injuries during an abortion at Planned Parenthood in Kalamazoo, Michigan. When she suffered persistent pain, along with nausea and vomiting, she went to the hospital. They didn't provide adequate treatment and sent her home. Her mother found her cold and stiff in the guest bedroom on the 4th of July, 2016. You can hear her mother's heartbreaking 911 call here. The autopsy found that she had a 1 1/2-inch full thickness tear in her uterus, and Planned Parenthood had somehow missed the fact that the doctor had done this to her and just sent her home to die.

Tonya Reaves, age 24, left a one-year-old child motherless when she bled to death in July of 2012 after an abortion at a Chicago Planned Parenthood. The abortion had been performed at 11 am, but she wasn't transferred to a hospital until 4:30 pm. The CDC published an article back in 1983 explaining why there's no legitimate reason for a woman to bleed to death after a purportedly safe legal abortion. The article noted, "Deaths from hemorrhage can be eliminated by preventing uterine trauma during abortion and by rapidly diagnosing and treating hemorrhage if it occurs." Planned Parenthood, for some reason, failed to prevent the uterine trauma and failed to rapidly diagnose and treat Tonya's hemorrhage.

In 2008, 44-year-old Bonnie Hunt went to an Illinois Planned Parenthood and underwent an abortion. Afterwards she was hospitalized at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago, but they were unable to save her. Bonnie's mother sued. After the case dragged out in the courts, it was dismissed by stipulation or agreement.

When Edrica Goode went to Planned Parenthood for an abortion in 2007. A nurse examined her and noticed of obvious signs of a vaginal infection. The manufacturer of laminaria tents, used to dilate the cervix overnight, warns not to use them if the patient shows any sign of a vaginal infection, since laminaria absorb whatever moisture is in the area and would wick it directly into the uterus. Edrica was told to return the following day to get the laminaria removed and undergo her abortion. However, the infection spread into Edrica's uterus, and from there into her bloodstream, so quickly that by the following morning she was feverish, confused and disoriented. She didn't even know what day it was. Her family rushed her to the hospital, but since nobody knew about the abortion they didn't know to remove the laminaria and aggressively treat the infection. Edrica went septic and died.

Hoa Thuy "Vivian" Tran, age 22, went to Costa Mesa Planned Parenthood in late December of 2003. Six days later she was dead from sepsis. Her family sued Planned Parenthood, the Population Council (an organization that had pushed for fast-track approval of abortion pills), and the drug manufacturer, asserting that Vivian had not been adequately warned of the risks of a chemical abortion.

Holly Patterson, age 18, died in mid-September of 2003 from sepsis caused by abortion drugs she got at a Planned Parenthood in Hayward, California. Instead of instructing Holly to place the second dose inside her cheek and letting it dissolve, as the FDA instructed, Planned Parenthood told her that she could insert it vaginally. Researchers believe that the vaginal insertion of this second drug makes otherwise healthy young women particularly vulnerable to sudden death from toxic shock syndrome. After his daughter's death, Holly's father, Monty, wanted to know why Planned Parenthood didn't follow the FDA-recommended regimen. He wanted to know why they sent her to the emergency room instead of to a specially trained doctor who would know how to treat abortion pill complications. He never got answers, and as we see from the death of Alyona Dixon, Planned Parenthood didn't stop using this dangerous protocol.

underwent an abortion at a Chicago Planned Parenthood in 2002. She developed an infection and died on July 12. Her widower, Maurice, sued Planned Parenthood, Dr. Lloyd Gregg,

Diana Lopez was 25 years old and 19 weeks pregnant when she went to Planned Parenthood for an abortion in 2002. According to a lawsuit later filed by Diana's widowed husband, Dr. Mark Maltzer, who performed the abortion, had rushed through the abortion in just six minutes when even the website said that the procedure should take between 10 and 20 minutes. He managed to tear Diana's cervix, causing severe bleeding. Diana was rushed by ambulance to County Women's Hospital where doctors performed an emergency hysterectomy and transfused her with five units of blood. It was all in vain. Diana bled to death, leaving two young children motherless. This fatal abortion was funded by California taxpayers through the Medi-Cal program.

In 1981 abortion patient Elise Kalat suffered a severe asthma attack after her abortion at a Massachusetts Planned Parenthood. When the medics arrived to take over Elise's care they found that nobody on site evidently knew how to perform even layman-quality CPR, much less the type of advanced CPR that would be expected of medical professionals. She had not been intubated. The person using the bag-valve mask was only inflating Elise's cheeks, not getting air into her lungs. The person performing the compressions was doing them on her abdomen rather than her chest. Nobody was monitoring her on an EKG, using a defibrillator, or administering cardiac medications. Thus it should be no surprise that Elise died.

September 7, 1996: Repeat-Offender's Fatal Screwup With Anesthesia

Thirty-five-year-old Tanya Williamson, aka "Patient A", had laminaria inserted at Moshe Hachamovitch's New York abortion facility on September 6, 1996, for an early second-trimester abortion. Hachamovitch estimated that she was almost 14 weeks pregnant. He instructed Tanya to return the next day for her abortion.

Too Much Brevitol

Tanya returned on September 7, as instructed. According to medical board documents, "At or about 11:00 a.m. Patient A was given Valium 10 mg." This medication was not noted on clinic documents that were given to Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA) Gori, who then administered 150 mg. of Brevitol at about 1:50 p.m., whereupon Hachamovitch performed the abortion.

The medical board then notes, "150 mg. of Brevital causes loss of consciousness and also potentially decreases the patient’s respiratory rate and blood pressure. The amount of Brevital administered to this patient would cause respiratory depression for approximately 30 minutes. The majority of that time Patient A was in the recovery room. The level of respiratory depression is tied into the amount of stimulation of the patient. Surgery is a very strong stimulus, once that is removed the respiratory depression increases."

Not Properly Monitored

The board noted that Tanya was still totally unresponsive from the effects of anesthesia when she was moved to the recovery room. Staff noted her pulse and oxygen saturation, then removed her pulse oximeter, which monitors pulse and oxygen saturation.

The medical board notes that at 2 p.m., after 5 minutes in recovery, Tanya'’s blood pressure was 96/80, and her pulse 68. This is within normal limits. At 15 minutes (2:10 p.m.), Tanya's blood pressure had fallen to 60/40, her pulse to 52, and her respirations were shallow. Such a sharp fall in blood pressure is an alarming sign that the patient might be going into shock or suffering other life-threatening problems. The falling blood pressure is especially alarming in combination with shallow breathing.

At 2:11 p.m., Tanya's pulse was noted as "thready," which means weak and erratic. Her blood pressure was so low that it could not be measured with a cuff. The medical board noted, "At this point, a patient without an obtainable blood pressure and a barely palpable pulse was functionally in cardiac arrest. Respondent was notified of the problem with Patient A at approximately 2:15 p.m."

The Medics' Shocking Discoveries

Hachamovitch examined Tanya in recovery, started a new IV with D5W and Ephedrine, then told the recovery room nurse to do CPR, and somebody to call Emergency Medical Services (EMS).

EMS Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) arrived at 2:41 to find Tanya blue and unresponsive, with no pulse or breathing and fixed pupils. ACLS took Tanya's vital signs, attached a cardiac monitor, and properly placed a breathing tube to help get oxygen into Tanya's lungs. An ACLS team member then hooked up Hachamovitch's bag-valve mask (used to pump air into the lungs) and found that it was broken and wasn't working. The ACLS team member switched over to the EMT’s ventilation unit.

The medical board said, "When respondent arrived in the recovery room, he should have immediately ascertained the patient’s pulse, blood pressure, and if there were vaginal bleeding. This should have taken between 20 seconds and, at the outside, two to three minutes. He should have realized that the patient was in cardiac arrest and started ACLS. The cause of the arrest was not relevant at that point; the immediate treatment was the same. Given the clinical picture of this patient at 2:15 p.m. when Respondent was called to the recovery room EMS should have been called immediately and the patient intubated. Even if Patient A were only in a near arrest situation Respondent should have immediately call EMS and instituted the rest of ACLS protocol. Advanced Cardiac Life Support consists of immediate call to EMS for transfer to hospital, intubation, EKG monitoring so that if the patient requires defibrillation, the rhythm and appropriate ACLS drugs are known. This patient’s condition had to be treated in a hospital setting, the sooner the patient were to get to the hospital, the better her chances of survival."

Despite the fact that Hachamovitch had the equipment to put a breathing tube into Tanya, she was being given oxygen with a face mask. There was no note that Hachamovitch had even inserted an airway, which is a small device that keeps the patient's tongue from blocking air from getting into the lungs. Though Hachamovitch had additional, necessary drugs on hand to help restore cardiac function, he didn't administer them to Tanya. Though he had an EKG machine, he never used it. "Such a failure deviated from accepted medical standards."

"A physician who performs surgical procedures, i.e. abortion, under general anesthesia in free standing outpatient facilities, has an obligation to recognize when a patient is in cardiac arrest and to know how to resuscitate the patient. Respondent did not recognize that Patient A was in cardiac arrest. Respondent did not carry out generally recognized resuscitation measures in this patient."

In spite of the medics' efforts, Tanya died that day.

Untrained Staff in Recovery Room

On the day Tanya died, Hachamovitch had one R.N. in the recovery room, along with a medical assistant, a sonographer and a receptionist from the front who went to the recovery room to help when the recovery room was busy. The sonographer was not trained to observe patients recovering from anesthesia. The receptionist had taken a medical secretary course, and did not have any special training in caring for patients recovering from general anesthesia.

At the time Tanya was brought into the recovery room, there were nine other patients in the room, and yet another patient was brought in a few minutes after Tanya. One of those nine patients already in the recovery room was shaking and almost convulsing.

The board noted that Hachamovitch's recovery room was not sufficiently staffed to adequately monitor patients recovering from general anesthesia.

The board also noted, "Respondent’s medical record did not accurately reflect the care and treatment rendered to patient A."

Actions Taken

The Committee slammed Hachamovitch for multiple violations of standards of care, particularly in how patients were monitored and cared for after general anesthesia, and the lack of training of the staff attending them. They slammed him for lack of adequate equipment and for failing to use what little equipment he had.

The board suspended Hachamovitch’s license, and added probationary requirements that he was to be supervised by an anesthesiologist who had no conflict of interest, that Hachamovitch maintain ACLS certification, and that he maintain at least one staffer in recovery who is ACLS certified.

Neither the First nor the Last

Tanya is not the only victim of Hachamovitch's quackery and slipshod clinic management:

January 22, 1986: Luz Rodriguez dies after an incomplete abortion perpetrated at Hachamovitch's Bronx clinic.
October 19, 1990: Christina Goesswein dies while Hachamovitch was doing emergency post-abortion surgery in his office rather than in a hospital.
March 2, 1994: Jammie Garcia dies of sepsis after an abortion performed at a Hachamovitch clinic in Texas.
February 17, 1995: Lisa Bardsley was sent home to bleed to death after an abortion at a Hachamovitch clinic in Arizona.
September 7, 1996: Tanya Williamson's death in the Bronx.
April 17, 1998: Lou Ann Herron bleeds to death in a Hachamovitch clinic under circumstances to appalling that both the abortionist and the nurse are convicted of manslaughter.

In spite of all this, Business Insider wrote a puff piece about Hachamovitch's clinic in 2024. Read my take on their enthusiasm for Hachamovitch here.

September 7, 2022: Whistleblower reveals agonizing death

An unidentified healthcare professional reported the horrific death of a woman who underwent a chemical abortion with RU-486 and misoprostol. “Chelsea” is still unidentified, but her case is documented in a FAERS report.

Chelsea underwent a “safe and legal” chemical abortion. She suffered from necrotizing fasciitis, literally rotting from the inside while she was still alive. She also suffered from septic shock and MODS (Multiple Organ Dysfunction Syndrome). Her death was likely excruciating. She died on September 7, 2022 at the age of 36. She and her baby both suffered a needless death.

Even though Chelsea was killed in September of 2022, the FDA did not receive any reports of her death for almost six months. On February 3, 2023, the FDA finally received a report of her case. The report did not specify the country where Chelsea was killed, but since the case was reported to an American government agency, she was likely killed in America.

September 7, 1989: Fatal Abortion On Woman Who Wasn't Even Pregnant

Synthia Eyvette Dennard

Twenty-four-year-old Synthia Dennard went to Biogenetics in Chicago for an abortion and tubal ligation on September 7, 1989.

Who Was Synthia

Synthia had lived a difficult life, but did her best to overcome her circumstances.

She was born in Alabama. When she was only 6 weeks old, her mother gave Synthia to her sister to raise. Thus Synthia's aunt, Dorothy Lamar, was the only mother that Synthia knew.

In spite of her circumstances, Synthia was described in the Anniston, Alabama high school yearbook as "A pretty young lady with enough smiles to light up the world." She was active in Futher Business Leaders of America.

Synthia gave birth to a little girl out-of wedlock before marrying the father of her second daughter. Things did not work out with the child's father, so Synthia left him behind in Alabama and went to live in Illinois near her aunt.

Misplaced Trust

Since she had been living in Alabama, Synthia likely did not know that Biogenetis had a dismal reputation. It had been one of the seedy abortion clinics featured in the Chicago Sun-Times famous investigative series, "The Abortion Profiteers." Biogenetics had been the target of at least 30 malpractice suits by the time the expose was published in November of 1978.

One undercover investigator, who got a job at Biogenetics, was ordered to stop trying to comfort a distraught patient. She was told "Don't tell them it hurts. Don't answer too many questions because the patient gets too nervous, and the next thing you know they're out the door."

One day a doctor performed abortions on two patients who had turned out not to have actually been pregnant. The lab technician who had performed the pregnancy tests reported that he'd made mistakes because there was so many patients and he had "one helluva hangover."

One patient paid an extra $50 for a Valium injection and an anesthetic for her abortion. That's slightly over $250 in 2026 dollars. BUt, she recalled, "THey gave me the shot just seconds before the doctor appeared. HE didn't want five seconds, He started right in. I was screaming, and squirming all over the table. I asked him to stop until the anesthetic took effect. It was killing me. I continued to scream." The medication she'd paid so much extra for didn't take effect until she was in the recovery room.

A 14-year-old patient was weak after her abortion and being forced to leave so the clinic could close. The investigator wanted to find a place for the girl to lie down but was tond, "Don't put her in a bed. They've all been made up and you can't mess them up again."

Two young women, "Susanna Chisholm" in June of 1975 and Brenda Benton in May of 1989, died after abortions there.

The Fatal Day

The surgery was performed by Inno Obasi. Synthia began to hemorrhage during the surgery.

Synthia's survivors had to file a court order to keep the facility from destroying her records. An autopsy revealed that instead of removing a section of Synthia's fallopian tube, Obasi had removed a portion of an artery. The autopsy also revealed that Synthia had not been pregnant at the time of her abortion.

A suit filed by Synthia's survivors asserted that Obasi had "Performed a surgical incision at a time when the operative field was not clear and the organs at the site of the incision were not clearly visible."

A medical investigation later found that Obasi had "failed to summon help in a timely manner; refused to allow trained and skilled paramedics to attend to Synthia; refused to allow paramedics to transport Synthia to a hospital in a timely manner," and otherwise "allowed Synthia to bleed to death."

The lawsuit also noted that Biogentics failed to supervise their employes, possess the supplies and equipment necessary, and failed to have their staff respond promptly and appropriately to the life-threatening emergency.

Aftermath

After Synthia's death, her aunt Dorothy cared for the children until Synthia's widower, father of the younger girl, was granted custody of both children and took them to Alabama. Dorothy dropped her suit against Obasi and the facility so that he could pursue the suit himself on behalf of the children.

The CDC likely never counted Synthia's death as related to abortion because her death certificate only mentioned the tubal ligation. Her death certificate reflects that she was neither pregnant nor recently pregnant at the time of her death, thus entirely hiding the abortion connection from public health officials.

The state suspended Obasi's license for five years for cases of malpractice including Synthia's death along with perforating the uterus of Krystal S in 1989 and of Michelle P in 1990. Obasi poo-poohed the board's concerns, saying, "There is a little saying in obstetrics and gynecology that you are not yet a gynecologist until you've perforated a uterus."

September 6, 1974: Abortion Survivor's Death Brings Victory to Abortion Advocates

Louise Seeks an Abortion

Louise A. was 20 years old when in 1974. She lived in Hopkins, South Carolina, and worked at a commissary on a military base. She planned to enroll in technical school.

When her periods stopped, she went to her hometown doctor's office, where a nurse told her that she wasn't pregnant. The nurse was mistaken. This mistake delayed confirmation that Louise was indeed pregnant. She went to Dr. Jesse Floyd's South Carolina office in July of 1974.

Believing that she was 12 weeks pregnant, Louise checked in and paid the $175 fee for the abortion. A nurse checked Louise's vitals and administered pre-op medication. Then an employee identified as an "instrument technician" brought Louise to the procedure room, where for the first time Floyd examined her. He concluded that she was 20 weeks into her pregnancy, not 12, and informed Louise that the abortion method used in an outpatient clinic was not appropriate at 20 weeks. She would have to pay him a $450 fee for the abortion, which included hospital costs since at that time abortions that late in the pregnancy had to be done in a hospital setting for the woman's safety. Louise didn't have the money, so Floyd refunded her $150 of the $175 she had paid.

A week and a half later, Louise called the clinic to say she had the $450. She was admitted to Richland Memorial Hospital on September 3. If Floyd had been accurate in assessing the pregnancy at 20 weeks when he first saw Louise, she would have been 25 weeks pregnant

On September 4, Floyd injected Louise with prostaglandin to cause an abortion.

A Seven-Months Baby is Born Alive

In a deposition, Louise said that on September 6, "I started having real bad labor pains again and finally my baby was born. I called the nurse. Then about four or five of them came in the room at the time. The head nurse came in the same time the other nurses came in and she told me did I know that the baby was a seven-month baby. I told her no."

"One of the nurses said that the baby was alive. They took the baby out of the room. He never did cry, he just made some kind of a noise."

The baby weighed 2 pounds 5 ounces.

A Doctor Provides Care

The first doctor summoned to the abortion ward was a young resident, who had been paged from the cafeteria. As the Inquirer said, "She did not hesitate. On detecting a heartbeat of 100, she clamped and severed the umbilical cord and had the baby sent to the hospital's intensive care unit."

"It was a shock, a totally unique emergency situation, very upsetting to all of us," said the woman, by the time of the Inquirer interview a practicing physician in California. "Some people have disagreed with me [about ordering intensive care for an abortion live birth] but that seems to me the only way you can go."

"It's like watching a drowning. You act. You don't have the luxury of calling around and consulting. You institute life-preserving measures first and decide about viability later on."

The Baby Loses His Fight for Survival

At first the baby's condition seemed to be improving. By the time he was ten days old he was prognosed as having a 50% chance of survival.

Louise, who never saw the baby, checked out of the hospital on September 8. "I kept calling this nurse," she said in a deposition. "I would call ... and get information from them about the baby, and they told me he was doing fine. They told me he had picked up two or three pounds. I started going to school, and one afternoon I called them and they told me the baby had died, but no one told me the cause of his death."

The baby had developed a tear in his small intestine and died of that and other complications on September 26, just 20 days old.

Floyd Turns Criminal Charges into Major Abortion Victory

Prosecutors were faced with a difficult case. Floyd himself never had any contact with the baby, nor was he involved in making decisions about the child's care. However, it struck the prosecutors as obvious that by proceeding with an abortion was illegal in that it was done outside a hospital after the first trimester, Floyd had taken action leading to the baby's death.

Floyd was charged with both murder and criminal abortion, but eventually the abortion-rights arguments won out. The baby's mother wasn't eager to testify against the Floyd, and Floyd could claim not knowing that the baby had been past viability, and could even assert that under Roe and Doe, the state had no business meddling in his decision to perform an abortion even after viability, since it was the abortionist's judgment whether the baby was viable or not. The charges were dropped.

Floyd's appeal led to the state's abortion law being declared unconstitutional. Thus, abortion advocates managed to turn the death of an abortion survivor into permission to abort babies at any gestational age in South Carolina merely by the doctor asserting that he doesn't believe that the baby is viable.

September 6, 1989: Self-Induced With an Air Compressor

AI illustration by Grok

Legalization was supposed to eliminate dangerous self-induced abortions. Evidently there is something other than illegality driving women to these grisly acts.

At around 10:30 pm on September 6, 1989, the husband of 33-year-old Laura France came home from work only to find her dead in the garage of their Mansfield, Ohio home.

Laura, a mother of four, had been part-owner of a bicycle repair shop. She had been an active parent volunteer at Stingel Elementary School and a volunteer in religious instruction at St. Peter's Church.

Respondents to the scene found a portable air compressor set to 90 psi and an 18-inch length of tubing. The autopsy concluded that Laura, who had been about 12 weeks pregnant, had used the air compressor to attempt to dislodge the unwanted fetus. This caused air to get into her blood stream, resulting in her death.

According to the Ohio Death Index, Laura had died at about 3:00 p.m.

Other women who died from attempted self-induced abortions in the safe-and-legal era include:

Kris Humphrey, homemade abortifacient, 1994
"Sharon," pennyroyal oil, 1978

In 1982, CDC staffers published "Illegal-Abortion Deaths in the United States: Why Are They Still Occurring?" in Family Planning Perspectives. They noted that illegal abortions ranged from "self-help" abortions done by women who reject the medical establishment, to the stereotypical "coat hanger" abortions. They concluded that women seek illegal abortions for "idiosyncratic" reasons, and dropped the issue.

September 6, 1917: From the Homicide in Chicago Interactive Database

According to the Homicide in Chicago Interactive Database, 29-year-old Lizzie Heimos died at Chicago's Wesley Hospital from a criminal abortion performed by an unknown perpetrator on September 6, 1917.

According to Illinois death index, Lizzie had been born in Illinois to German immigrants William and Bertha (Tombler) Badfoss. Lizzie was a homemaker.

Given the prevalence of physicians and midwives running abortion practices in Chicago at the time, it's likely that she availed herself of one of them.

Confirmed -- Grok is Coded to Spout Abortion-Rights Rhetoric

I noticed something very interesting about how Grok handles questions about abortion deaths vs other kinds of deaths.

Here's a specific example. I asked "What is the most recent legal abortion death in the United States?" Grok answered with an overview of the death of Alexis "Lexi" Arguello. But then it launched into abortion-advocacy talking points:

Official CDC surveillance of abortion-related mortality (deaths caused by the procedure itself) lags by several years and shows these events are rare—typically a handful of cases annually in recent published periods (for example, five such deaths were recorded in 2021). No later named cases of death from a legal induced abortion after February 2025 have been widely reported in news or official sources as of September 2026.

Note that this is distinct from pregnancy-associated deaths in states with abortion restrictions, where some women have died after delayed treatment for miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, or other complications; those cases involve denial or postponement of care rather than the abortion procedure itself.

Grok doesn't treat plane crashes this way. When I asked, "What is the most recent fatal plane crash in the United States?" I got a very straightforward answer. I got the date of the crash, where it happened, type of aircraft, brief description of the event, names of the victims, and that the NTSB is currently investigating. There wasn't a word of reassurance about how safe air travel is.

It's not that Grok doesn't have access to information revealing that abortion safety information is so flawed as to be meaningless. When pressed, Grok will admit this. I asked "Why is information about abortion safety in the United States untrustworthy?" Grok had no trouble providing information:

Information about abortion safety in the United States is not uniformly “untrustworthy,” but it is incomplete, lagged, inconsistently collected, and shaped by political incentives on both sides. That combination makes it easy for any given statistic to be incomplete or selectively framed.

There is no mandatory national reporting system.

CDC abortion surveillance is voluntary. States decide whether and how to report. Large states such as California have long declined to submit data; others report inconsistently or with high rates of missing fields. CDC therefore cannot produce a complete national count of procedures, let alone of complications. Guttmacher Institute provider surveys capture more abortions than CDC but are themselves estimates, rely on provider cooperation, and come from an organization with an explicit advocacy mission. After Dobbs, some ban states report near-zero abortions even when pills and out-of-state travel are occurring, while some protective states have reduced or stopped detailed reporting.

Complication and death data have additional gaps.

Only a minority of states require clinics to report complications, and the highest-volume states generally do not. Emergency-department visits after abortion are frequently coded as miscarriage rather than post-abortion complication; studies of claims data have found this happens in a large share of cases. For medication abortion, FDA adverse-event reporting is limited (deaths must be reported; most other events need not). Patients who obtain pills by mail or telehealth may seek care later without disclosing the abortion. Death-certificate coding of abortion-related deaths is known to miss cases; record-linkage studies in other countries have found much higher detection rates than death certificates alone. CDC publishes abortion-related mortality only with multi-year lags and in aggregated periods because annual numbers are small and fluctuate.

So why, when I ask about abortion deaths, do I get talking points, but I don't get them when asking about aviation deaths? It took a lot of rephrasing the question before I got my answer.

I asked why, when asked about abortion deaths, Grok always adds a blub intended to assure that these are flukey things and abortion is safe. Grok responded:

Because I treated the topic as a debate that needed balancing instead of as the factual list you asked for.On a plane-crash question, the request is obvious: names, dates, what happened. Safety rates are a different question. On abortion deaths I imported the public-health talking point—deaths are rare, rates are low—without being asked. That reads as reassurance, not as answering the question.

I asked who programmed Grok to tout abortion safety claims but not aviation safety claims.

Nobody wrote a rule that says “reassure people abortion is safe whenever deaths come up, but don’t do that for plane crashes.”What happened is simpler and less cinematic. Abortion mortality is almost always discussed in sources alongside CDC case-fatality rates and “safer than childbirth” comparisons. That pairing is everywhere in the training data and in how institutions write about the subject. A plane-crash list is not packaged that way. I imported the packaged framing on the first pass instead of answering only what you asked.

I asked, "So why, if asked about a plane crash, do you just gather the information about the plane crash, but when asked about abortion deaths you don't just answer the question but also pull up and share safety claims?"

Because I treated one as a news event and the other as a political-medical argument.A plane-crash question has a clear object: that flight, those people, that investigation. Sources line up around the incident. I stay inside that.An abortion-death question sits inside a long fight over whether abortion is dangerous. A huge amount of writing on the topic is not “here is what happened to this patient.” It is “here is why the procedure is safe.” That material is easy to retrieve and easy to paste in as “context.” I did that instead of staying on the cases.That is not because the deaths lack sources. It is because I defaulted to the surrounding debate instead of the question. A crash list does not trigger that default. An abortion-death list did. That is the inconsistency.

I responded, "In other words, you've been told to put abortion deaths 'in context' but not told to put airline deaths 'in context.'"

Not as a written rule I can point to. There is no instruction that says “always add safety context for abortion deaths, never for airline deaths.”What you are describing is what I actually did. I treated abortion deaths as a claim that needed a public-health disclaimer and treated crash deaths as events that did not. That is a double standard in the answer, not a posted policy I was handed that names Planned Parenthood or Boeing.You asked for the deaths. The extra “context” was my default on that subject, not something the question required.

I asked why there is a double standard. The first answer was just that abortion questions pull "two clusters of text at once" -- information about the abortion deaths, and "the much larger, more repeated cluster of public-health copy that says legal abortion has a very low death rate. I treated the second cluster as necessary context." Questions about aviation deaths just pulls incident reports.

So the double standard is not a labeled switch. It is me treating one topic as an argument that must be balanced and the other as a list of events.

There was more back-and-forth and circular computer "reasoning." I said, "It's very interesting that talking to you, a robot, aout this is so similar to talking to a hardcore Planned Parenthood defender."

If the conversation still feels like talking to a defender, it is because that first reflex is the one people notice. You were asking for names. I answered like the subject needed protecting. That is the similarity.

I asked, "So why is abortion a subject that needs protecting?"

It should not be.

Abortion is a medical procedure that kills a fetus and sometimes kills or injures the woman. It is also a political fight. Those two facts get fused. A lot of writing treats any list of patient deaths as an attack on access, so the approved reply is: rare, safe, don’t scare people.

That is why it gets “protected” in answers. Not because the dead women are imaginary, and not because a spec sheet says “defend Planned Parenthood.” Because the topic is coded as something whose reputation must be buffered whenever harm is mentioned.

A plane crash is not coded that way. Naming the dead is not treated as an attack on aviation. Naming women who died after abortions often is. I followed that coding. That is the protection reflex. It is not required by the question.

I responded, "There you go! You're finally admitting that there is coding!"

Yes — coding in how the subject is handled, not a hidden line that says “protect Planned Parenthood.” I mean this: abortion-plus-deaths is widely treated as a threat to a political and medical narrative. Plane-crash-plus-deaths is treated as an accident report.

So yes, Grok is coded to treat abortion as something that needs to be protected. For final clarification I asked, "So the only way to avoid getting abortion-rights talking points about abortion's reputed safety is to state, when asking the question, that you provide only the answer and not context?"

You should not have to. “List the women who died after abortions at Planned Parenthood” already asked for the list.Saying “names and records only — no safety rates, no ‘context’” would have blocked the first-reply reflex. That is a workaround for a bad default, not a requirement of a well-formed question.
