Life Dynamics lists 34-year-old Marie Gibson on their "Blackmun Wall" of women killed by legal abortions.

LDI put together the following information on Marie's death:

Marie had been admitted to Anderson Memorial Hospital in Anderson, SC, because of an intestinal obstruction some time in 1980.

Marie was pregnant at the time.

An abortion was performed on Marie in an effort to improve her condition.

She developed adult respiratory distress syndrome and shock, then died.

Her physician attributed her death to amniotic fluid embolism, and no autopsy was performed

Although Life Dynamics cites Marie's death certificate, for some reason they do not give a date of death, marital status, whether she left behind any children, or the name of the doctor who performed the fatal abortion.
