SUMMARY: "Robin," age 21, died May 4, 1972 from a legal abortion performed in New York.

"Robin" is one of the women Life Dynamics identifies on their "Blackmun Wall" as having been killed by a safe and legal abortion.

In February of 1972, 21-year-old Robin traveled from Massachusetts to New York for a first trimester abortion. She underwent the procedure and returned home.

About two weeks later, she started suffering abdominal pain. A month later, she was diagnosed with aplastic anemia and hepatitis.

Three months after her abortion, on May 4, 1972, Robin died, leaving two children motherless. Public health officials linked her death to the abortion.
