Unsolved Abortion Death from 1921
On December 28, 1921, Belle Keehn died at the Chicago Lying-In Hospital
from an abortion perpetrated by an unknown doctor on or about November
27. Documents are unclear as to how it was determined that the
perpetrator was a doctor. The hospital was a reputable facility, not a
seedy abortionarium, so Belle would have received superior care as
doctors tried to save her life.
