Joyce Teasley was a 15-year-old student and diagnosed with Marfan syndrome. This syndrome generally causes patients to be very tall and thin and affects connective tissues. One problem Marfan syndrome can cause is weakening of the aorta. Joyce had aortic valve disease, indicating that her Marfan syndrome had indeed cause a problem with her aorta.
In September of 1971, doctors learned that Joyce was pregnant and performed an abortion at Dorothea Dix Hospital in Raleigh, North Carolina. Oddly, the death certificate says that a D&E abortion was performed, but also says that Joyce was only 4 weeks pregnant.
It's highly unusual that a pregnancy would be diagnosed that early in 1971. She might have been 4 months pregnant rather than only 4 weeks. After all, a D&C or suction abortion, rather than a D&E, would have been performed very early in the pregnancy.
Regardless of how far advanced Joyce's pregnancy was, she suffered a likely pulmonary embolism, causing cardiopulmonary arrest. She died on September 28, 1971.
The location where Joyce died is also strange, since Dorothea Dix Hospital was a mental hospital, not a surgical, obstetric, or general hospital. Joyce was likely already a patient at the hospital when the pregnancy was discovered.
Since Joyce was black as well as young, unmarried, and disabled, it's possible that racism played a role in the decision to abort her baby.

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.
Sherlock has talked to many girls and young women who trust him. Their stories and the forensic evidence shows most of them undergo pill abortions or humiliating invasive surgical abortions due to fear or ignorance or pressure or coercion. He treats the girls or women carrying children or devastated from their abortions as friends and neighbors in his home town, not afterthoughts.
Thank you for doing what you can to help girls and fight sexual predators and rape profiteers.
