September 16, 1988
Rebecca Suzanne "Becky" Bell (August 24, 1971 – September 16, 1988) was an American teenage girl who died of complications from a septic abortion. After becoming pregnant, Bell inquired about a legal abortion but was hindered by Indiana state laws which required either her parents' consent or a waiver from a judge. Instead, Bell either obtained an illegal abortion or attempted to self-abort, leading to a fatal infection.

DAUGHTER

I was like a bird on
an endless flight,
Hiding in the day and
flying at night,
Up above I could see
no wrong,
But down below for my
peace I would long.
It was like I was
carried through a
stream of air,
That made my life
unable to bear ...
I still can fly, and
expand my wings,
But now I appreciate
what life down here
brings.
