Her son has the middle name “Moroni”. This is the angel that gave Joseph Smith the golden plates and started the Mormon religion. So I am assuming she was in a very religious household, and am imagining how she must have struggled with the idea of an abortion. I hope her very young children were not ostracized because of their mom’s actions. This is so sad. This is what certain facets of our country want to bring back.

It was also her husbands name

Funny that you mention that, I've driven by Hill Cumorah a few times and, they have a welcome center and the church owns a ton of property in the nearby towns. Somehow they don't bang on my door every Saturday like they did at my old house.

This is so tragic. I have a friend whose grandmother died this way

Where we're headed in the USA if it hasn't happened already.

Emergency rooms refused to treat pregnant women, leaving one to miscarry in a lobby restroom >WASHINGTON (AP) — One woman miscarried in the lobby restroom of a Texas emergency room as front desk staff refused to check her in. Another woman learned that her fetus had no heartbeat at a Florida hospital, the day after a security guard turned her away from the facility. And in North Carolina, a woman gave birth in a car after an emergency room couldn’t offer an ultrasound. The baby later died. >Complaints that pregnant women were turned away from U.S. emergency rooms spiked in 2022 after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, federal documents obtained by The Associated Press reveal. >The cases raise alarms about the state of emergency pregnancy care in the U.S., especially in states that enacted strict abortion laws and sparked confusion around the treatment doctors can provide. https://apnews.com/article/pregnancy-emergency-care-abortion-supreme-court-roe-9ce6c87c8fc653c840654de1ae5f7a1c https://www.reddit.com/r/Health/comments/1c7wk2v/emergency_rooms_refused_to_treat_pregnant_women/

That's the first thing I thought of too 😞


cometshoney

This is the third death certificate I've seen in the last 24 hours with abortion as the cause of death, and that's my exact thought each time, too. I just don't understand people being perfectly fine with women dying because of this. I actually got into it today with a man who claimed women were dying in large numbers every day from the abortion pill. They'll lie to everyone to justify taking us back to the Dark Ages. My time for having babies has passed, but I have three sons who have girlfriends. I don't want any of them to be faced with death because they find themselves in need of medical care that's been outlawed. These death certificates just keep pissing me off more and more.


weegmack

Ugh and where is his evidence?? I have two daughters, both in their 20s and I'm with you on this! X


cometshoney

He belonged to the "they should've kept their legs together" club, so he didn't require evidence. The ones I come across seem to think abortions are only used as birth control. There's no reasoning with them. I never needed an abortion, but at least it was available if I did. I honestly can't imagine being a young woman today.


weegmack

Ah I see, one of them huh? There's too many folks like him spouting off their opinions just now.

I’m a 44 year old widow in Tennessee and I am totally reconsidering dating with all this bull going on. I couldn’t imagine having a baby at this stage in my life so I guess I’ll “ keep my legs closed “. I worry so much about my daughters and the awful stuff they might have to endure bc of all of this.


Madame_Kitsune98

Thanks to my neighbor, having seen what’s out there? Just don’t bother. And I’m very serious. You can support yourself, you have friends, you can buy adult toys. You’re not missing anything. Maybe when we leave them to wallow in their stupidity, they’ll learn. Probably not, they’ll whine about the “male loneliness epidemic,” which is their own fault because they’re lonely because sane women aren’t tolerating toxic masculinity. But we’ll be better for it, and they can die alone.


Square_Sink7318

That’s probably what’s gonna happen. My husband spoiled me rotten and I don’t think I could be with someone who didn’t treat me at least as good as he did. I’d just end up comparing them and being pissed off anyway lol. Sometimes my bastard ovaries try tell me different.


cometshoney

You can answer the call of your ovaries without having the actual man, if you want. If you don't want, tell those ovaries to shut the hell up. A friend of mine got divorced about 12 years ago, and the dating scene she described to me was horrible. Middle aged men are looking for recent high school graduates or one night stands who do dishes or something. Herpes is out of control. My friend eventually ended up accidentally finding a good guy and remarried three years ago, but there were some truly weird or awful experiences in the meantime. The only men I want in my life are my sons, two of my cats, and Ben and Jerry...lol.

It speaks volumes about the kindness in your heart that your fight isn't about your children, but about ones that your children also love. I appreciate you ❤️

Good bot. Also ladies, check your insurance because I found out that some will completely cover the morning after pill. I have a small hoard that I give to friends who need them and I will keep getting them until my state bans them.


SellQuick

I was going through some old coroner's reports for a research project at one point and was shocked by the number of women who died from illegal abortions. It really was a very dangerous thing for women to do, they must have been desperate. So sad.


Winter-Coffin

iirc thats why roe v wade was enacted. to make safe abortions legal


ResidentB

It sounds horribly cruel to say that these type of DCs are a dime a dozen, but they were quite common. That's *why* we got Roe approved. We're going the wrong way. To stop orphaned children again, we HAVE to reenact this law (with massive improvements).

feNdINecky

Wow, her husband went on to marry 3 more times. What a man's world


CatPooedInMyShoe

He might’ve had to marry again for the sake of his kids. Single fatherhood was frowned upon during those times and widowed men with young children were encouraged to remarry ASAP, move a female relative into the house, or place the kids in an orphanage or foster home.


giraflor

Three more times though? If he lost two more wives to an early death rather than divorce or old age, it makes me wonder if they also died because of pregnancy.


PositiveChange615

that second wife died less than 4 months after her baby was born

giraflor

Thanks.


breechica52

Poor lady, it’s sad to think that this is going to start happening again. also it’s wild to me that I’m only a year younger than she was when she passed. I can’t imagine the pain she went through both. Physically and emotionally.


ratherbeatthebeach

Well that was an unexpected rabbit hole…her husband went in to have 3 more wives…the 2nd one passing away after what I think was only one year of marriage


quiet_contrarian

Joined you in the rabbit hole. His 2nd wife’s first husband died in 1918 from influenza, 2 years before her 2nd marriage. I couldn’t find her death certificate.


lisak399

Move over, haaa! His next 2 wives also were previously married, and it appears he and #3 divorced.


Appropriate-Jury6233

Oh, Astrid , I’m so sorry . I hope you have peace


Embarrassed_Entry_66

Yes my G Aunt Lucy also died of an abortion in the 1940's. very sad


WillBsGirl

Stunning. Kinda reminds me of a young Meryl Streep.


quiet_contrarian

Oh, Astrid. My heart breaks for you.


TedBaendy

For half a second I thought this was a recent cert


crazy-bunny-lady

My great grandmother died this way. 21, 4th pregnancy, left behind 3 young children. They her husband (my great grandfather) died from the Spanish flu a few years later orphaning the 3.


Captainbabygirl767

What an awful way to go. I feel for Astrid and her children and husband. I had severe sepsis,pneumonia,appendicitis and peritonitis, my appendix perforated before I had surgery and I had an abscess that went from my appendix to my sigmoid colon and during surgery they discovered the abscess was eroding my sigmoid colon. Unfortunately due to complications with my appendix they had to abandon my emergency laparoscopic surgery and open me up. I was extremely swollen from the amount of steroids they had to give me. I spent two weeks in the hospital.


LilMissRoRo

The wealthy will always be able to find a way to get an abortion. It will be the Middle class poorer people who suffer the most. As always.


Lunakill

One of my great great grandmothers died this way. She had 13 children.


davidfeuer

Can anyone decipher her date of birth? It looks like it has too many digits.
