About Becky Bell
- 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.
- The coroner found that Bell died of sepsis as a consequence of an unsterile abortion, a finding that was subsequently disputed by the anti-abortion movement.
- Following Bell's death, her parents became advocates for the repeal of parental-consent laws.
