November 15, 1901: A Doctor's Fatal Work in Kansas

Irma Brown

On November 15, 1901, 22-year-old Irma Brown of Garden City, Kansas, died at County Hospital from complications of an abortion. Dr. Robert E. Gray, age 42, was arrested November 19 and held without bail. The original accusation had come from nurse Margaret Tedford, who had cared for Irma after she'd taken ill.

A police captain said that he had spoken to Irma as she lay dying, and that she said Gray had performed an abortion on her. There was doubt as to whether Irma's confession would be admitted in the trial because it had been written out by the police officer, but Irma had not signed it. Daniel Healy, the hospital warden, testified that Dr. McPherson at County Hospital had not allowed Irma to sign it because she was so weak that he feared the exertion of signing the document might kill her.

Gray insisted that Irma had undergone an abortion elsewhere at the Veley Hotel and didn't want to go to the county hospital for aftercare lest her family find out. At Irma's request, Gray had taken her to Chicago and registered with her at the hotel on November 1, under the names of Irma's sister and brother-in-law. He further said that she had asked to go for a walk through the La Salle Street Tunnel, so that she could tell her family and friends that she had actually been under the Chicago River. Because of this walk, he said, Irma had suffered a fall that had injured her so that he took action to save Irma's life.

Gray's assertion was weakened by a letter from Gray that Nurse Tedford produced, saying, "My defense is just as I told you and will not be deviated from. It is that Irma slipped and fell in the tunnel a week ago. This defense will not be deviated from one iota or one jot. Remember, remember. Read quickly; decide quickly. Then destroy. bring no letters or papers of any description." Gray's defense was further weakened by his cross-examination, during which he admitted that Irma had gone to the theater with him the evening after the fall..

On March 16, the jury took six ballots over six and a half hours of deliberation. The issue at hand was whether or not the abortion which Gray had admittedly performed had been necessitated by injuries Irma had suffered after a fall. The first ballot stood nine for conviction and three for acquittal. The second found seven for conviction and five for acquittal. With each successive ballot, the jury shifted toward Gray until he was finally acquitted.

Gray's health had deteriorated during the trial. After his acquittal he remained in Chicago until he regained his health, then he returned to his home in Garden City, where public sentiment was divided as to whether his acquittal was just or not.

November 15, 1912: Two Unrelated Chicago Deaths

On November 15, 1912, 38-year-old Ida Kloie died in her Chicago home from an abortion perpetrated by midwife Minnie Neermann. Neerman was held by the Coroner on November 25, and indicted by a Grand Jury on December 1, but the case never went to trial. (Homicide in Chicago Interactive Database)

That same day, 33-year-old homemaker Fannie Scheiner died at County Hospital in Chicago after an abortion perpetrated that day by midwife Annie Balnoka. Balnoka was arrested and held by the Coroner on November 24, and indicted by a Grand Jury on December 15, but the case never went to trial. (Homicide in Chicago Interactive Database)

November 15, 1972: A Journey to Death

Twila Coulter

On November 14, 1972, 21-year-old Twila Jeanne Coulter died in a hospital in Torrance, California.

A Bright Future

Judging by her Springfield High School 1968 yearbook, Twila was a very promising young woman. She was in the pep club, the band, the class play, and chorus. She twirled fire baton and was a candidate for Valentine Queen. She showed up regularly in the local paper for making the honor roll and for her community activities.

According to her obituary, Twila was active in Rainbow for Girls and 4-H, and graduated from Blair Business College in Colorado Springs. She took work as a legal secretary in Denver and Springfield before taking a job at the Otero County Welfare Office in February of 1971.

Twila had traveled from her home in Colorado to California for what she no doubt assumed would be a safe, legal abortion. She checked into Bon Air Hospital.

A Deadly Decision by Doctors

What Twila couldn't have known was that her doctor was about to subject her to an abortion procedure so risky to mothers that it had been abandoned in Japan, Sweden, and the Soviet Union: saline instillation abortion, typically referred to as just a saline abortion.

In a saline abortion, the doctor uses a large syringe to remove as much amniotic fluid as possible, replacing it with a strong, sterile saline (salt) solution. The unborn baby breathes in and swallows the fluid, which causes massive organ damage resulting in death. The saline could also get into the mother's bloodstream, causing organ damage and even death.

Two Japanese doctors, Takashi Wagatsuma and Yukio Manabe, tried to warn the West. Wagatsuma wrote, "It is, I think, worthwhile to report its rather disastrous consequences which we experienced in Japan." Manabe wrote, "It is now known that any solution placed within the uterus can be absorbed rather rapidly into the general circulation through the vascular system of the uterus and placenta. Thus any solution used in the uterus for abortion must be absolutely safe even if given by direct intravenous injection. ... A solution deadly to the fetus may be equally toxic and dangerous to the mother. ... In spite of the accumulating undesirable reports, the use of hypertonic saline for abortion is still advocated and used ... in the United States and Great Britain. I would like to call attention to the danger of the method and would predict the further occurrence of deaths until this method is entirely forgotten in these countries."

A Predictable Outcome

In spite of these warnings, whichever doctor was entrusted with Twila's care injected saline into her uterus at 10:00 pm on November 13. She expelled her dead 16-17 week fetus and the placenta the following day, about 14 hours after the saline injection.

Only 15 minutes after delivering the dead baby, Twila started turning blue from lack of oxygen. She had trouble breathing and her heart started racing. She was bleeding from her vagina, bladder, and IV sites, indicating a potentially fatal clotting disorder. She was given oxygen and three units of blood and transferred to LA County Harbor General, a fully-equipped hospital.

Upon arrival at around 1 pm, Twila was still bleeding heavily. She was already showing signs of brain damage -- completely unresponsive, with her body stiff on one side and limp on the other. Her eyes were drifting left, and she showed a blurred optic disc in her left eye, indicating early brain swelling. Bloodwork confirmed the dreaded clotting disorder -- disseminated intravascular coagulopathy.

A hospital counselor contacted Twila's family. They had been unaware of the pregnancy, the trip, or the abortion. They rushed to the Denver airport to get a flight to Los Angeles to be at their daughter's side.

Continued Efforts

Doctors performed a D&C to scrape out some 20-30 ccs of retained pregnancy tissue. They gave Twila medications to treat the clotting disorder along with two units of blood.

By around 2:30 pm, Twila's left pupil was enlarging. Her breathing was in what's called Cheyne-Stokes pattern -- where the breathing starts shallow, grows deeper and faster, then becomes slower and more shallow, stops for up to half a minute, before resuming. This was a sign that Twila's brain stem was failing. They gave her medications to try to shrink the brain swelling, but her left pupil became fixed and her right pupil started dilating as well. Her eyes began moving independently of one another, and she showed decerebrate posturing -- straight arms and legs, curled fists, and arched back and neck. These were more signs of brain injury.

A neurosurgical consult concluded that the bleeding was diffuse throughout Twila's brain and could not be corrected surgically.

Final Hours

Grok AI illustration

As midnight passed and November 14 rolled into November 15, Twila was breathing regularly, but tests of her reflexes indicated that her brain stem was failing. At around 1 am her blood pressure dropped to 70/50 and her pulse to 54. She was given fluids and medications to bring her vitals back up to a more normal range.

Her parents arrived at around 3:00 am and began their vigil as the doctors continued their efforts to save their daughter.

At around 4:45 am, Twila's breathing became fast and irregular. A breathing tube was inserted and she was put on a ventilator. But all these efforts were futile. Twila was pronounced dead from cerebral hemorrhage at 7:00 am on November 15.

Confirmed at Autopsy

Twila's brain had likely been beyond repair by the time she arrived at Harbor General. The autopsy found fresh blood all over the surface of her brain and around the spinal cord. There were large fresh clots disrupting the brain structure and her midbrain was pushed off to the side. This midbrain compression was the final blow that caused Twila's death.

There were no signs that the saline used to kill the baby had gotten into Twila's bloodstream. It's more likely that pregnancy tissues from the placental attachment made their way into Twila's bloodstream as she was expelling the baby. These tissues triggered the cascade of clotting problems that caused the fatal brain damage.

Despite the fact that her doctor had chosen an antiquated, dangerous abortion method, nobody was prosecuted in Twila's death. After all, her abortion was legal. There was no longer any call to hold anyone accountable for her death.

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.

November 14, 1928: The Death of Eunice McElroy

On November 14, 1928, 21-year-old Eunice McElroy died in Chicago from complications of a criminal abortion.

Eunice had been a particularly promising young woman even though she'd had a difficult childhood. She and her sister, Julia "Jewel" McElroy, had ended up in the custody of their grandmother after their parents divorced. Eight years later their mother tried to regain custody and the two girls tearfully begged to stay with their grandmother and expressed a wish never to see their mother again. Eunice, then 12 years old, told the judge that their mother had threatened to place the girls in "a home without windows where we would have to scrub floors all our life." She told the judge that both she and Jewel were afraid of their mother.

Eunice became an active and involved high school student, active in the Rifle Club, Junior Band, Musical Club, and Student Council. Eunice and Julia became a musical duo, earning praise for their performances at events in the Chicago area. While Julia became a cabaret singer after high school, Eunice put her business classes to work and became a stenographer.

Dr. Thomas J. Ney was indicted by a grand jury for felony murder in Eunice's death. Among the witness was Julia, who testified that she heard Ney tell Eunice that if questioned she should tell the police that a specific other doctor -- who was later found out to have been dead for six months -- had perpetrated the abortion.

Eunice's abortion was typical of illegal abortions in that it was performed by a physician.

Ney was able to delay his trial for over three years, obtaining more than 25 continuances. He was still out on bail pending trial when he was implicated in the abortion death of 18-year-old waitress Alma Bromps, who died April 26, 1931. Evidently this was the last straw. His bail was revoked and the medical board took a closer look at him and started to wonder if he'd ever even completed medical school before being licensed.

The case ran into another delay when the courts were temporarily unable to locate Julia. Relatives told officials that they believe somebody had persuaded Julia to make herself scarce.

Further investigation led to allegations that Ney had poisoned women he'd injured in abortions so that they'd not be able to make statements against him. One of the people making this claim was Eunice's mother, Bessie, who said that when a patient got blood poisoning, Ney would send an attendant for a prescription of mild sedatives and, during the attendant's absence, would inject something into the patient that would leave her in pain but unable to speak. These allegations came to nothing.

Alma's sister Elcey and Julia McElroy both attended Ney's trial but did not testify. Ney was convicted of murder in Elma's case. I've been unable to determine if he was also convicted in Eunice's death.

November 14, 1873: Was Mary the First Victim of Dr. Charles Earll?

We, the jury, find that the said Mary A. Hill, now lying dead at No. 22 Price place, in the City of Chicago... came to her death Nov. 14, 1873, from inflammation of the uterus and peritoneum, produced by an abortion, and we, the jury, from the evidence, find that said abortion was the result of an operation performed on the said Mary Adele Hill by Dr. Charles Earll, with the knowledge and consent of James Hill, husband of the aforesaid Mary A. Hill, and we, the jury, recommend that the said Dr. Charles Earll be held as principal, and the said James Hill as accessory, before the fact, to answer to the Grand Jury in the Case. - "The City in Brief," Chicago Tribune, November 23, 1873

This was the announcement made by a coroner's jury after a week-long inquest during which they sorted out a lot of conflicting testimony. Somehow, though, all of the testimony I've found covered in the news is exculpatory of Dr. Earll and Mary's husband.

Dr. Emmons, the County Physician, testified about the postmortem examination, which verified that an abortion had indeed been the cause of death.

Dr. Duff testified that Mrs. Hill had come to him offering to pay $30 (about $650 in 2020) to perform an abortion, but he refused.

Dr. T. D. Fitch, who had been the Hill family physician for four years, testified that he'd been called in to attend to Mary. From her appearance, he first thought that she was suffering from cholera. She told him that she had spoken to Dr. Earll about an abortion, but when he named his fee of $50 (over $1,000 in 2020), she realized that she couldn't afford it so she decided to do the abortion herself, though she didn't reveal the method she used. She had expelled the dead baby the previous Saturday, November 8. This led Dr. Fitch to conclude that an operation that Dr. Earll had performed the next day had been an attempt to treat Mary. Mary also told him that her husband had known nothing about any of this.

Mrs. Sarah Hall, who had known Mary for ten years, even before her marriage, also testified. She said that Mary had come to her house and told her that she was going through "change of life" -- menopause. Sarah had told her that she was too young for that and that clearly something else was going on. Mary told Sarah that she'd taken more than fifty pills to try to set herself right. Sarah admonished Mary not to take any more pills because this was dangerous. Sarah suggested that she speak to to a clairvoyant named Dr. Grier, who might be able to tell her more. Perhaps, Sarah said, Mary could get a doctor to operate on her. Mary told Sarah that she'd already used in instrument of some kind on herself.

Mrs. Eliza Hall testified that Mary told her that she'd taken some medication -- presumably to cause an abortion -- and asked her not to tell James about it. She also testified that Mary told her that Dr. Earll "took it from her" -- but I can't tell if this is referring to the medicine or the baby.

Mary's husband, James, testified that Mary had given birth to five children, one two of whom were still alive. He described his wife's suffering during her final illness but said that he did not know what the cause was. He said that at her request he had brought Dr. Earll in to care for her. He said that she'd told him that she'd had a miscarriage and had never told him that she'd used any kind of instruments to cause an abortion. He testified that after hearing testimony he no longer knew what to think about the situation.

There must have been some testimony that pointed in another direction. The November 24, 1873 Chicago Tribune said, "If [Earll and Hill] are not convicted, the case as it now stands will teach brutish husbands and medical quacks an important lesson. The dead Mrs. Hill seems to have been bullied into the abortion (whether she performed the operation herself or submitted to it at the hands of a professional butcher) by a husband, who declared that 'he would not support three children,' there being already two in the house, and who, according to the evidence, insisted that his wife should take 'medicine,' and told her to buy a sharp instrument to procure the abortion. This seems to make him an accessory before the fact, in the eyes of the law, and the chief criminal in the eyes of humanity, no matter how or by whom the abortion was committed. The evidence goes to show that it was not a terror of child-bearing that induced Mrs. Hill to consent to an abortion, but simply a deference to her husband's low selfishness. There is no punishment commensurate with the crime of a man who thus deliberately jeopardizes the life of a loving and obedient wife to his own brutal instincts and declared parsimony, and it is in the interest of common humanity that he should receive the full measure of punishment which the law provides."

Both men were arrested and brought to county jail. However, on December 3 the Grand Jury released them on the grounds that the evidence was vague and circumstantial.

This was far from Earll's only foray into court over abortions. He was arrested in the spring of 1874 for performing an abortion on a woman named Talfrey. He was released, and a month or two later he was arrested for the death of Rosetta Jackson. He served only eleven months for Rosetta's death. He was released in August of 1875, and only two months later was implicated in the abortion death of a woman named Creighton. He was investigated again in August of 1877 for the death of a woman named Morgan. He was arrested again for performing a non-fatal abortion on a woman named McKay, but was not indicted. He was convicted in the 1880 abortion death of Etta Carl.

November 12, 2022: Faith in the Media Costs Mom Her Life

Rosie Jimenez

Many of you are too young to remember the Rosie Jimenez case, where abortion-lobby rhetoric sent a young woman down the road to an agonizing death.

Their rhetoric continues to cost women's lives.

If Candi Miller had gone to a prolife pregnancy resource center, she would have gotten whatever medical care she needed, even if that medical care involved ending her pregnancy. But instead she totally trusted what the abortion lobby said -- that the "heartbeat bill" banned doctors from taking any measures to save pregnant women's lives.

Candi and her family

According to ProPublica, Candi was 41 years old and had lupus, diabetes, and hypertension. Believing the abortion-lobby lies that abortion laws ban treatment for pregnancy complications, she skipped going to a doctor entirely. She ordered abortion pills online -- something that the abortion lobby claims is totally safe.

Like Amber Thurmond, another young woman who lost her life due to abortion-advocacy rhetoric, Candi suffered an incomplete septic abortion as a result of the abortion pills. Pills she'd been assured were so safe that she didn't even need to see a doctor before taking them.

Evidently believing the abortion-lobby rhetoric that emergency obstetric care is banned under abortion laws, Candi didn't seek any medical help whatsoever because she believed prochoice rhetoric. She died on November 12, 2022.

November 12, 1923: Another Death Attributed to Midwife Alma Dittman

Grok AI illustration

The November 15, 1923 Arizona Republican notes that a coroner's jury declared Alma Dittman responsible for the abortion death of Mabel Duncan, a mother of five, who died in her Phoenix, Arizona home Monday, November 12.

Mabel had given a statement on October 18 indicating that Dittman, who had travelled to Phoenix to do the abortions, had perpetrated it that day.

Mabel's husband, Fred, a traveling salesman, said that he'd been on the road when he'd gotten a telegram from Dittman, a woman his wife had identified as "a lady that has been taking care of me."

Dittman had already been identified as the abortionist responsible for the death of Carrie McDonald in 1922, Mabelle Cannon in 1917, and Blanche Ainsley in 1912. After Mabel's death Dittman was charged in the 1927 death of Rose Savoren.

Dittman eventually saved the state the trouble of finishing up the trial for Rose's death by turning all the gas jets on in her home and going to sleep forever.

November 12, 1917: One of Three Deaths Attributed to Chicago Midwife

According to the Homicide in Chicago Interactive Database, 22-year-old homemaker Margaret Linstrom died at Chicago's American Hospital on November 12, 1917 from an abortion perpetrated by Dr. Anna Sorenson.

Sorenson had been implicated in the January 2 death of Margaret Crowe and the August death of Emelia Gorman.

Sorenson's chain of death ended with her own death in prison on November 12 or 13. She was believed to have died of poisoning.

November 11 1909, 1916, and 1929: The Death Cult Can't be Stopped by Laws That Aren't Enforced

I have three Chicago abortion deaths on November 11:

In 1909, homemaker Marian Lang, age 29, died her home on N. 52nd Avenue in Chicago, from septicemia caused by an abortion. Dr. E. L. Pope was indicted by a grand jury. The source document does not indicate that the case went to trial. (Death certificate; Homicide in Chicago Interactive Database)

In 1916, 28-year-old homemaker Margaret "Elizabeth" Winter died at her Chicago home from sepsis caused by an abortion perpetrated by Cecelia Stejskal, whose profession is given only as "abortion provider." Census records indicate that she was a midwife. Though Stejskal was held by the coroner, the case never went to trial. (Death certificate, Homicide in Chicago Interactive Database)

In 1929, 23-year-old Mary Louise Kelly died in Chicago from an abortion performed by an unidentified perpetrator. (Homicide in Chicago Interactive Database)

Abortion was 100% illegal, but was advertised and perpetrated openly. People were getting away not only with killing the babies but with killing the mothers. We need to defeat the Satanic death cult spiritually and put the power to shut abortionists down in the hands of the women they lie to and exploit.

November 10, 1943: Mystery Abortion in Illinois

West Suburban Hospital

On Monday, November 8, 1943, 28-year-old Mary Hosang was admitted to West Suburban Hospital in Oak Park, Illinois, ailing from a criminal abortion. The next day her condition was so critical that doctors performed an undisclosed surgery to try to save her life.

Mary told Oak Park police that a woman "on 63rd street" had done the abortion, but she refused to name the woman. Mary said that she had told her husband, Elmer, a factory worker, that she was doing shopping while he waited for her in the car while the abortion was being perpetrated.

The doctor's efforts were in vain. Mary died on November 10.

November 10, 1870: The Astrologer's Bad Prediction

On November 10, 1870, Eugenie Chauvet died "under circumstances that unquestionably indicated criminal practice. The coroner examined Eugenie's body the following day. He testified, "I found that her death was brought on by injuries inflicted on the womb." Eugenie's uterus was enlarged, indicating a recent pregnancy. The coroner believed that the two injuries had been caused by "a sharp pointed instrument."

He had examined some powders associated with the case, and concluded that they were morphine.

Simon M. Cohen, an astrologer, was charged with arranging the abortion.

At the coroner's inquest, Mrs. Julia Harvey testified that before dying, Eugenie had told her that Dr. Charles C. O'Donnell had performed an abortion on her. Cohen also testified that O'Donnell had admitted to him that he had perpetrated an abortion on Eugenie.

Frederick Downer, a carpenter, said that he had known Eugenie for about five months when she had asked him to arrange a room for himself at Mrs. Harvey's establishment. He saw Eugenie two or three times a week.

Eugenie, he said, became ill with chills and fever and took to bed at Mrs. Harvey's house, where she was visited by a man asking if there was a sick lady there. The person in question, whom Downer pointed out, was Dr. O'Donnell. After being there for about two hours, O'Donnell had sent Downer out to a pharmacy with a prescription for some powders, which Downer had obligingly obtained.

Downer said that Eugenie remained sick with chills and fever for about six weeks.

O'Donnell and Cohen were both charged with murder. However, the case was thrown out because it hadn't been ascertained that Eugenie had known that she was going to die when she told Mrs. Harvey about the abortion, thus her statement was inadmissible as a deathbed statement. Another witness for the prosecution was unable to testify.

A woman named Arabella Knapp was also involved somehow, was arrested, and pleaded not guilty.

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

Grok AI illustration

Demetrice Verlaine 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.

November 9, 1999: Teen's Death in Louisiana

Grok AI illustration

"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.
