Barbara Lofrumento died in 1962 when her parents arranged for Dr. Harvey Lothringer to do a "back-alley abortion" on her. (Note: back-alley indicates the clandestine way the woman is brought to the doctor's office, not the location where the abortion was performed. Lothringer killed Barbara in the same office where he'd perform legitimate medical care.)
1913 abortion. The only death I have for 1913 is Emily Nohavec, who had an abortion performed by a midwife.
"Self induced miscarriage". I like the denial there. Sweetie, if it's self-induced, it's an abortion, not a miscarriage. Re-naming it doesn't change the reality of deliberately killing the baby. These mis-named "miscarriages" are embraced by some women as natural and safe and gentle. They're also how Kris Humphrey and Penny Roe ended up killing themselves.
