"Erica" Roe, Victim of Abortion
Life Dynamics lists Erica on their "Blackmun Wall" of women killed by safe and legal abortion.
Erica was 20 years old and 22 weeks pregnant when she sought an abortion in 1974.
Saline was injected into her uterus to cause an abortion.
Before she expelled the fetus, Erica suffered an amniotic fluid embolism.
The embolism triggered a fatal blood-clotting disorder.
