| Maura Morales, Abortion Death | |
 | |
Twenty-four-year-old Maura Morales was eight weeks pregnant when she went to Woman's Care Center for a safe and legal abortion on May 8, 1981. When she was in the recovery room, her heart went into spontaneous ventricular fibrillation -- irregular heartbeats not capable of effectively pumping blood. Maura was taken to a hospital, but died that day. Maura was the fourth woman to
die at the same facility. The others were Shirley Payne, Myrta Baptiste, and Ruth Montero.
