Here's an extract from Carolyn Gargaro's website, from the story about
Becky Bell. It's just another example showing that pro-abortionists lie to
further their agenda.
_______________________________________

Becky Bell was a 17-year old Indiana girl who reportedly died of an
illegal abortion on September 16, 1988. "Pro-choice" and Feminist
organizations, especially Planned Parenthood and Eleanor Smeal's "Feminist
Majority Fund," immediately seized on Becky Bell's death and stated as
fact that it was directly caused by Indiana's parental consent laws. They
dubbed Becky the "first known victim of parental consent laws" and
launched massive media campaign and enlisted her parents to hit the talk
show and lecture circuit to denounce parental notification and consent
laws all over the country - the law that they claimed "caused Becky's
death." As Ms. Magazine put it, "She Died Because of a Law." [1]

This received a lot of media attention for awhile, until the National
Right to Life Committee got a copy of the post-mortem report, which showed
no sign of either induced abortion or infection in or near the
reproductive organs. What the report did show was that Becky Bell died of
a deadly and fast-acting form of pneumonia, similar to that which killed
Muppets creator Jim Henson, which had neither originated in nor had
affected the reproductive system. She had contracted this especially
lethal form of pneumonia at about the same time that she had a
miscarriage.

Shortly after NRLC started distributing copies of the autopsy report and
calling for a review of the coroner's report concluding the death was a
result of a "septic abortion" (which the post-mortem contradicted), Mr.
and Mrs. Bell dropped out of sight and Eleanor Smeal never said another
word about it.

Less than six months after Becky Bell's death, Erica Richardson, a
Maryland sixteen-year-old, died from a legal abortion. [6] Erica underwent
the abortion without her parents' knowledge or consent. Where is NARAL's
outrage at Erica's death? Perhaps there is none because her death did not
further their pro-choice agenda.

       It is a tragedy that Becky Bell died, but is also a tragedy when
the pro-choice movement purposely lies and exploits her death to further
their own agenda.

Here is an extract from KAREN BELL'S account of the death of HER
CHILD, Becky Bell.  You can find the whole story at
http://www.ms4c.org:80/bell.shtml

                The coroner performed an autopsy
                and called us. "Your Rebecca
                Suzanne died from an illegal, botched
                abortion; dirty instruments had been
                used." And Bill said "No, no, not
                Beck." I said, "No, no, no, not my
                Becky. Oh my God, not Beck."

                I told Bill that I did not want people
                talking about Becky. We grew up in a
                small community. Everybody idolized
                us. We were the perfect couple -- the
                perfect family. I didn't want people to
                call her a whore. We agreed to say
                that Beck died of pneumonia. It
                wasn't a lie. The death certificate
                listed the cause of death as septic
                abortion with pneumonia.

                Right before the funeral, the minister
                came over and knelt down in front of
                us. He said, "Why don't you tell the
                truth so you can hold your head up in
                the community? You can help other
                people. You can help yourself and
                avoid living a lie." I thought the truth
                would come out someday and so we
                agreed.

                At the funeral, the minister said that
                Becky had been pregnant and had
                died as a result. I bowed my head. I
                couldn't look at anybody.

And now everyone knows that what you posted is another example of how
PIGs lie to further their hateful, death-dealing agenda.

 Ramon,

 You can occasionally hear the Bells on some late night talk shows, phoning in
their opinions. Phone-ins avoid those questions about the autopsy report that
they really have no answers for. Better keep an eye on the situation though,
this 10 year old story seems to be making the rounds again, perhaps in response
to recent court and congressional decisions regarding parental rights. Veronica

"Pro-life" hatred knows no lower limit.  A "pro-life" woman
approached Mr. and Mrs. Bell and offered her condolences over
the death of their *grandchild*.

I think one needs to quote also this part:

   Bill and I decided to speak out; we thought we could prevent other
   girls from dying. We appeared on 60 Minutes. The anti-choice crowd
   came after us. They followed us. There would be crowds of people with
   their fetuses in a bottle, and some would say that Becky didn't die
   the way we said she did. They loosened the lug nuts on our car. In
   Arkansas, they shot a hole in the building where we were speaking.
   They cared more about a fetus than about my daughter. I thought, "I'm
   not afraid of anybody, because my daughter is dead and you can't hurt
   me anymore."
