Margaret Clodfelter went to Richmond (Virginia) Medical Center For Women to have a safe, legal abortion performed by Dr. William Fitzhugh on June 2, 1989.
After she left the clinic, she started experiencing pain and bleeding, and called the facility about her symptoms. They did not advise her to seek medical care.
Two days later, she sought medical treatment at a hospital and was told that she had a perforated uterus and retained fetal tissue. A D&C was performed.
Due to infection from the retained tissue, doctors also performed a hysterectomy to try to save Margaret's life. Margaret died, leaving her husband and one-year-old son.
