1998: Post-abortion hemorrhage kills woman

Virginia Wolfe, age 33, went to Methodist Women's and Children's Hospital on July 6, 1998, to have a safe, legal abortion performed by Dr. Lillian Jones. Jones performed a suction abortion. During the procedure, she punctured Virginia's uterus and bladder. Virginia suffered massive hemorrhage, losing so much blood that her heart, having nothing to pump, stopped. Doctors repaired her bladder and removed her uterus, but Virginia's brain had already been damaged by the lack of oxygen. Virginia was pronounced dead on July 10, 1998.
