The November 15, 1923 Arizona Republican notes that a coroner's jury declared Alma Dittman responsible for the abortion death of Mabel Duncan, a mother of five, who died in her Phoenix, Arizona home Monday, November 12. 

Mabel had given a statement on October 18 indicating that Dittman, who had travelled to Phoenix to do the abortions, had perpetrated it that day. 

Mabel's husband, Fred, a traveling salesman, said that he'd been on the road when he'd gotten a telegram from Dittman, a woman his wife had identified as "a lady that has been taking care of me."

Dittman had already been identified as the abortionist responsible for the death of Carrie McDonald in 1922, Mabelle Cannon in 1917, and Blanche Ainsley in 1912. After Mabel's death Dittman was charged in the 1927 death of Rose Savoren.

Dittman eventually saved the state the trouble of finishing up the trial for Rose's death by turning all the gas jets on in her home and going to sleep forever.

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.
