Margo Dydek

Former WNBA player Margo Dydek died at the age of 37 after having suffered a heart attack a week ago. Dydek was the number one pick of the Utah Starzz in 1998. She also played with San Antonio, Connecticut and Los Angeles. The 7-foot-2 Dydek was once considered to be the tallest active women’s basketball player. She held the career record for blocked shots in the WNBA, with 877 in 323 games.

Margo Dydek leaves behind her husband David, and two young sons, David, 3, and Alex, 7 months. She was also in an early stage of pregnancy, and her unborn baby died too.

She was in an early stage of pregnancy, and her unborn baby died. If we accept that as a true statement, you would think it would change some people’s view of abortion. You would think.
