1987: Myria McFadden

Life Dynamics lists 28-year-old Myria McFadden on their "Blackmun Wall" of women killed by legal abortions. LDI notes that Myria underwent a second-trimester abortion on December 7, 1987, in Washington, DC. The abortion was performed by Dr. Hazel Tape. Myria had trouble breathing after the abortion. Myria suffered heart and lung failure the day after the abortion. She died at Holy Cross Hospital in Silver Srpings on December 8.

And yes, OC, I'm aware that far more women went home alive after their abortions that day. More drunk drivers also arrive home alive than plow into minivans going the wrong way on the Insterstate. Does that make driving drunk a good idea?
