I heard the phrase "one killed and one injured" in a discussion about abortion. On 13th September 2007 Laura Hope Smith had an abortion. She was a healthy 22 year old lady and she was 13 weeks pregnant. She was engaged to be married in April 2007 and her husband to be flew out to Iraq in July 2007. In August 2007 Laura found out she was pregnant. Laura's mom found out about her daughter's death by Laura's cell phone. Her best friend told her. Her mom was devastated. She knew that Laura was pro-life. She hadn't known about Laura's pregnancy. Her mom said "in abortion one is killed and one is injured but in Laura's case two and dead".
What do you think about that?

Sounds to me like something a bit odd going on here.
Why would a healthy 22 year old, who was pro life, and engaged, have an abortion?
Not ready for kids? Fair enough I suppose. Why did she die during the abortion? In an advanced country this should not happen. Why did Lauras mother not know she was having an abortion?
Why did the Mum find out via a friend and not medical authorities?
I think there are issues here not reported in the media.
Was it possible that Laura was pregnant by another man, this wanting to hide the abortion?
Did she have a back yard job?

Laura had her abortion in a clinic in the USA. There was one doctor that performed the abortion and another member of staff in the background. Laura stopped breathing and nobody managed to revive her. Laura had told her husband to be that she was pregnant. It was strange that she told her best friend but not her mom that she was going to have an abortion. Her mom found out from her best friend and shortly after that the doctor. Yes, it does sound strange and it is a true story that is not easy to understand.
Thanks for your excellent response.
