Diane Smith, a 23-year-old student, was one of the women mentioned in the Chicago Sun-Times expose, "The Abortion Profiteers."
According to the report and her death certificate, Diane was admitted to Englewood Hospital in Chicago due to hemorrhaging. She told staff that she'd had a legal abortion in a Chicago-area clinic.
Diane was treated for a perforated uterus and sepsis, to no avail. She died on September 11, 1976.
Diane, as a black woman, was both at higher risk of being sold an abortion and at higher risk of dying once she walked into the abortion clinic than a white woman would have been.

Veteran pro-life investigator Kevin Sherlock asks people of good will to help him have Planned Parenthood prosecuted for profiteering from the rapes and incests of underage girls many thousands of times each year.
Sherlock has pulled the police records of hundreds of cities and has pulled the child protective services records of multiple states to prove Planned Parenthood staffers are violating mandated reporting laws designed to protect girl victims. But there is more to be done. Sherlock will make sure more and more evidence gets to federal and state prosecutors who care about protecting girls from abusers and profiteers.
Thank you for doing what you can to help girls and fight sexual predators and rape profiteers.
