Jacqueline Bailey1970s, 20s, california, saline, rupture, hemorrhagedeathSUMMARY: Jacqueline Bailey, age 29, died December 3, 1977, after an abortion by Dr. Eboreime at Pacific Glen Hospital in Los Angeles, CA.
On December 2, 1977, 29-year-old Jackie was injected with saline by Dr. Eboreime for an instillation abortion at Pacific Glen Hospital in Los Angeles County.
Five hours after Jackie expelled the dead baby, her condition appeared grave. Shortly after midnight, she was transferred to Memorial Hospital of Glendale.
Doctors at Memorial suspected a uterine laceration, so they performed exploratory surgery. The bleeding was so profuse that they then performed a hysterectomy in a last-ditch attempt to save her life. Jackie died just before sunrise on December 3.
The autopsy report found that Jackie’s uterus had ruptured during the abortion, and that her uterine artery had been lacerated. She had bled to death from her injuries.
Two years earlier, Cheryl Tubbs also bled to death from a ruptured uterus caused by a saline abortion at Pacific Glen.
As you can see from the graph below, abortion deaths were falling dramatically before legalization. This steep fall had been in place for decades. To argue that legalization lowered abortion mortality simply isn’t supported by the data.
