February 16: A Criminal Abortion in New York

In my search for abortion deaths I went through New York death records and learned about the death of Blanche Daniels Bryant. Blanche was a 24-year-old Black woman living with her husband, William, on Franklin Avenue in New York. She died at Kings County Hospital in New York 14, 1940. Her death was attributed to "generalized peritonitis; perforated uterus; gangrenous endometritis, criminal abortion."

She was the daughter of John and Mary Daniels.

I've been unable to learn anything else about Blanche's death.
