| Lottie Lowy, Pre-Roe Abortion Death | |
 | |
On July 26, 1925, Mrs. Lottie Lowy, age 27, died at the Chicago office of Lucy Hagenow from an abortion performed that day. In this case, Hagenow is identified as a midwife, though in other cases she is identified as a doctor. On September 1, Hagenow was indicted for felony murder in Lottie's death. There were a number of deaths in Chicago attributed to either a Lucy Hagenow or a Louise Hagenow. I believe these to be the same woman. The deaths include: Hagenow was typical of criminal abortionists in that she was a physician.
