"Alice" is one of the women Life Dynamics identifies on their "Blackmun Wall" as having been killed by a safe and legal abortion.

Alice was 31 years old when she underwent a 14-week saline abortion in New York City.

She had a history of rheumatic heart disease and two previous live births. After the saline was injected, she developed acute pulmonary edema and died on July 19, 1970.
