Christina Dunigan tells the following story:
“Joann” wasn’t given a follow-up exam after her abortion on November 20, 1973. Two days later, Joann was in such pain, and bleeding so profusely, that her mother-in-law rushed her to the emergency room. There, Joann expelled a 19-week female fetus missing both arms and one leg. The rib cage was exposed, with lung tissue protruding. Joann was hospitalized and suffered a depressive reaction.
