from the 1870s
No, a doctor did not order her left ‘dead or alive’ in regards to an abortion tale from the 1870s. In this particular tale, a doctor did not play a role as the abortion was self-induced. The tale follows a young woman who attempted to self-induce an abortion by taking overly high doses of mercury and afterwards ended up in the hospital in a very poor health. Emergency action was taken to save the young woman’s life, though the doctors feared she may not make it. They did not order her to be left alive or dead – they were simply trying to save her life.
