The resting place of threads that were very valid in 2004, but not so much in 2024. Basically this is a giant historical archive.

Failed abortion survivor -- mum thought she was dead

The failed abortion survivor whose mum thought she was dead

by Adam Eley and Jo Adnitt BBC Victoria Derbyshire programme

5 June 2018

When Melissa Ohden was 14 she learned a shocking secret .... She was saved by a nurse who heard her crying as she lay among medical waste at a US hospital. ...

In 1977, in a hospital in the US state of Iowa, Melissa's 19-year-old mother had undergone an abortion using a toxic saline solution over five days. ...

Melissa was rushed to an intensive care unit, where - against the odds - she survived.

Doctors thought she would be blind, and at one stage believed she had a fatal heart defect.

Wow ! I haven't read the full story but just the excerpt is good news to hear. Possibly there are other survivors of this wicked practice as well, it makes one wonder ?
Too bad they ALL have not survived the barbarian treatment. If only all did, it might wake up some sector of the population as to how wrong it is.
Good find, Maria.
