had not survived her ectopic pregnancy when she was 16. She almost died. She lost a tube and ovary and lived to have 5 children whether she wanted them or not. I was her fourth. She died a year ago tomorrow at age 88 and I miss her terribly. That was before abortion was legalized because it wasn’t an abortion per se, it was emergency surgery for a ruptured tube.
