Finding that the dead woman had just undergone an abortion, prosecutors raced to establish her identity and assign blame for her death. Suspicion fell on Nancy Guilford, half of a married pair of "doctors" well known to police throughout New England. This historical true crime examination defies the stereotypes of abortion in the era before Roe v. Wade and shows that laws and prosecution can't stop the procedure, even when driving it underground creates deadly consequences"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 $a Gill, Emma 600 $a Guilford, Nancy -- $x Trials, litigations, etc. 650 $a Murder victims -- $z Connecticut, Bridgeport -- $y 19th century. 655 $a True crime stories 650 $a Abortion -- $z Connecticut, Bridgeport -- $y 19th century. 941 $a 1 952 $l SIPD314 $d 20240409011511.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C19B2970F63611EE80258AC022ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
