At around 9:10 p.m. on December 15,
1891, Dr. J. M. Ryall was called to the Pittsburgh home of 32-year-old
Nancy Hildinger. He found her dead. Her family told Ryall that Nancy had
been sick and bleeding from her period. He performed an autopsy. Nancy
was a large, muscular woman weighing about 160 lbs. and found her uterus
enlarged to about three months size, flabby, inflamed, and marked by an
injury caused by some sort of instrument. She had already expelled the
fetus. Her lungs were also congested. The coroner's jury found that Nancy had died at the hands of an unknown abortionist.
Twenty-year-old LaSandra Russ, from Berkley, California, went to Los
Angeles to have an abortion on December 13, 1971. She was six weeks
pregnant. At the time, abortions were legal in California as long as
they were performed in a hospital.
The abortion was performed at Memorial Hospital of Hawthorne the next day, December 14. LaSandra went into cardiac arrest almost immediately after the abortion.
Attempts were made to revive her, but she was finally pronounced dead
on December 15, 1971.
Andre Nehorayoff
Abortionist Andre Nehorayoff
was disciplined over the abortion death of "Faye Roe." She was 19 years old when she went to Nehorayoff's office for a safe and legal abortion on December 15, 1979. Nehorayoff failed to record an adequate history or medical exam for Faye. Nehorayoff left her in a recovery room at 2:25 p.m., without any monitoring. When
somebody finally checked on her an hour later, she was cyanotic (blue)
and had no pulse. She was pronounced dead at a hospital. Nehorayoff was also disciplined regarding Patient E, an 18-year-old patient who bled to death after Nehorayoff sent her home in 1983 with a fetal leg still in her uterus.
