- "Only one woman is known to have been prosecuted for
- undergoing an illegal abortion. Shirley Wheeler, age twenty-
- three, delivered a stillborn fetus in a Florida hospital,
- the result of a saline injection. She refused to reveal the
- name of the doctor who performed the abortion and was herself
- brought up on charges. She was tried and convicted by the
- jury on the charge of abortion manslaughter and was sentenced
- to two years' probation."
