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 His bail was revoked and the medical board took a closer look at him and started to wonder if he'd ever even completed medical school before being licensed.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.

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.

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.

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.

November 8, 1879: "A Rather Mysterious Sort of Rookery"

Mr. and Mrs. William J.F. Bullerman ran "a rather mysterious sort of rookery" in Chicago. On November 5, 1879 police discovered a woman named Elizabeth Foley, aka Sarah Monshan, seriously ill with septicemia at that "rookery."

Police suspected that an abortion had probably been perpetrated by Dr. Franklin Brooks, "who, a few years ago, was awarded six years at Joliet for abortion." Elizabeth's sister, Mary Monshan, was also held as an accessory.

They took Elizabeth to Cook County Hospital, where she died on November 8. To the end, Elizabeth denied having undergone an abortion. She insisted that she'd given birth and that her sister, Mary, and taken the child to their mother's home in Greenbaugh, Wisconsin. Mary denied this, and her employer told police that she'd not been out of town at all.

The post-mortem examination showed that Elizabeth had indeed died from an abortion. The Bullermans were easy enough to find and charge with a crime, since they were in the county lock-up for stealing $250 in gas.

As for Brooks, even after getting out of Joliet for abortion, and after Elizabeth's death, continued to practice in Chicago. On December 22, 1891, a Swedish girl named Tillie Thom was found dead from an abortion at Brooks' office.

November 8, 1994: The Three-Minute Abortion at NAF Flagship Facility

Eighteen-year-old Christine Mora underwent a safe, legal abortion at Doctors' Surgical Center in Cypress, California -- an FPA (Family Planning Associates Medical Group) facility. She was about 17 weeks pregnant and a high school senior. The date was November 2, 1994.

Grok AI illustration

A nurse practitioner inserted laminaria (dried sticks of seaweed which absorb moisture and expand) to dilate Christine's cervix. Christine went home and returned the following day for the abortion. Dr. Thomas Grubbs performed the D&E and sent Christine to recovery.

Preparing to leave the clinic, Christine fell while unattended. Grubbs was called to check her, and noticed slurred speech and inappropriate responses.

Somebody called an ambulance, and Christine was taken to La Palma Hospital, where she spent several hours in the emergency room, attended by her friend Robert. When Christine's father was finally located, Robert had to tell him about the abortion as well as about the hospitalization.

Christine was admitted to the intensive care unit, where her condition deteriorated until she was finally taken off life support at noon on November 8, and pronounced dead. Christine left an 18-month old child motherless.

The autopsy showed acute septicemia and hemorrhage in the brain, along with some small cervical lacerations and one tear a little more than 1/3 inch. It also revealed that Christine had a congenital heart defect called "foramen ovale," in which a connection between the two sides of her heart had not closed at birth as it was supposed to do. Her family filed a wrongful death suit.

Bald, bespectacled middle aged white man wearing a suit and tie.

Edward Allred

The attorneys for Grubbs, FPA owner Edward Campbell Allred, and FPA claimed that Christine had a heart defect and that it was this defect, not the abortion, that had caused her death. An expert reviewing the case for Christine's family said that the care provided to Christine at the FPA facility "fell below applicable standard" and that the "breach of standard care was the direct cause of Miss Mora's death." In particular, he faulted FPB because:

Grubbs had never examined Christine prior to the surgery. In fact, he'd had no contact with her at all prior to beginning her abortion.
"The anesthesia record says that Dr. Grubbs did the entire extraction procedure in three minutes(emphasis in original)," and that this haste caused the cervical lacerations.

The expert concluded that the amniotic fluid entered Christine's bloodstream through the cervical lacerations, causing her death. Oddly, Dr. David Grimes, the expert defending FPA, agreed that Christine's death was due to an amniotic fluid embolism and not to her heart defect. Grimes, however, claimed that the amniotic fluid had entered Christine's bloodstream when the placenta had detached, and not through the cervical lacerations. Grimes considered three minutes to be adequate time for a 17-week abortion. (Grimes had also spoken on behalf of notorious California abortionist Leo Keneally.)

The lawsuit had gone to trial, with Allred himself taking the stand, when prolifers discovered that Allred was being sued and complained that the medical board and news media were ignoring the death. As soon as the prolifers began agitating, FPA quickly settled with the family, stipulating confidentiality as part of the settlement.
