“Jennifer Roe” was in the first trimester when she and her baby were killed. At 11 weeks pregnant, she underwent a hysterotomy abortion. This was a highly invasive and dangerous procedure that required cutting open her uterus, which was already scarred from three previous C-sections. A medical journal study by multiple doctors concluded that the risk of hysterotomy for abortion with sterilization was not justified, particularly before 13 weeks— and because of Jennifer’s hypertension and obesity, the risk was even higher.
Sometime between 1972 and 1978, Jennifer went under the scalpel and died of general anesthesia complications. It should be noted that general anesthesia is more dangerous for those with obesity and precautions must be taken. It is unknown if those measures were taken for her, but the abortion itself was already putting her at unnecessary risk.
Those at higher risk like Jennifer, deserve real health care, not abortion.
