Jack Leon Ruby ( born Jacob Leonard Rubenstein ; March 25 , 1911  January 3 , 1967 ) was an American nightclub owner and murderer from Chicago , Illinois , who lived in Dallas , Texas . On November 24 , 1963 , he fatally shot Lee Harvey Oswald while the latter was in police custody after being charged with assassinating U . S . President John F . Kennedy two days earlier . A Dallas jury found him guilty of murdering Oswald and Ruby was consequently sentenced to death . Later , Ruby appealed his conviction , had it overturned and was granted a new trial . However , on January 3 , 1967 , as the date for his new trial was being set , Ruby became ill in his prison cell and died of a pulmonary embolism from lung cancer . Lee Harvey Oswald ( October 18 , 1939  November 24 , 1963 ) was an American former U . S . Marine who assassinated President John F . Kennedy on November 22 , 1963 . According to four Federal government investigations and one municipal investigation , Oswald shot and killed Kennedy as the President traveled by motorcade through Dealey Plaza in the city of Dallas , Texas . A U . S . state is a constituent political entity of the United States of America . There are 50 states , which are bound together in a ___MASK59___ with each other . Each state holds administrative jurisdiction over a defined geographic territory , and shares its sovereignty with the United States federal government . Due to the shared sovereignty between each state and the federal government , Americans are citizens of both the federal republic and of the state in which they reside . State citizenship and residency are flexible , and no government approval is required to move between states , except for persons covered by certain types of court orders ( e . g ., paroled convicts and children of divorced spouses who are sharing custody ). Abortion is the ending of pregnancy by removing a fetus or embryo before it can survive outside the uterus . An abortion which occurs spontaneously is also known as a miscarriage . An abortion may be caused purposely and is then called an induced abortion , or less frequently , " induced miscarriage ". The word " abortion " is often used to mean only induced abortions . A similar procedure after the fetus could potentially survive outside the womb is known as a " late termination of pregnancy ". When allowed by local law , abortion in the developed world is one of the safest procedures in medicine . Modern methods use medication or surgery for abortions . The drug mifepristone in combination with prostaglandin appears to be as safe and effective as surgery during the first and second trimester of pregnancy . Birth control , such as the pill or intrauterine devices , can be used immediately following abortion . When performed legally and safely , induced abortions do not increase the risk of long - term mental or physical problems . In contrast , unsafe abortions cause 47 , 000 deaths and 5 million hospital admissions each year . The World Health Organization recommends safe and legal abortions be available to all women . Around 56 million abortions occur each year in the world , with a little under half done unsafely . Abortion rates changed little between 2003 and 2008 , before which they decreased for at least two decades as access to family planning and birth control increased . , 40 % of the world ' s women had access to legal abortions without limits as to reason . Countries that permit abortions have different limits on how late in pregnancy abortion is allowed . Since ancient times , abortions have been done using herbal medicines , sharp tools , with force , or through other traditional methods . Abortion laws and cultural or religious views of abortions are different around the world . In some areas abortion is legal only in specific cases such as rape , problems with the fetus , poverty , risk to a woman ' s health , or incest . In many places there is much debate over the moral , ethical , and legal issues of abortion . Those who oppose abortion often maintain that an embryo or fetus is a human with a right to life and may compare abortion to murder . Those who favor the legality of abortion often hold that a woman has a right to make decisions about her own body . ___MASK43___ to life is a moral principle based on the belief that a human being has ___MASK43___ to live and , in particular , should not be killed by another human being . The concept of a right to life arises in debates on issues of capital punishment , war , abortion , euthanasia , justifiable homicide and , by extension , public health care .

Pulmonary embolism ( PE ) is a blockage of an artery in the lungs by a substance that has traveled from elsewhere in the body through the bloodstream ( embolism ). Symptoms of a PE may include shortness of breath , chest pain particularly upon breathing in , and coughing up blood . Symptoms of a blood clot in the leg may also be present such as a ___MASK42___ , warm , swollen , and painful leg . Signs of a PE include low blood oxygen levels , rapid breathing , rapid heart rate , and sometimes a mild fever . Severe cases can lead to passing out , abnormally low blood pressure , and sudden death . PE usually results from a blood clot in the leg that travels to the lung . The risk of blood clots is increased by cancer , prolonged bed rest , smoking , stroke , certain genetic conditions , pregnancy , obesity , and after some types of surgery . A small proportion of cases are due to the embolization of air , fat , or amniotic fluid . Diagnosis is based on signs and symptoms in combination with test results . If the risk is low a blood test known as a D - dimer will rule out the condition . Otherwise a CT pulmonary angiography , lung ventilation / perfusion scan , or ultrasound of the legs may confirm the diagnosis . Together deep vein thrombosis and PE are known as venous thromboembolism ( VTE ). Efforts to prevent PE include beginning to move as soon as ___MASK23___ after surgery , lower leg exercises during periods of sitting , and the use of blood thinners after some types of surgery . Treatment is typically with blood thinners such as heparin or warfarin . Often these are recommended for six months or longer . Severe cases may require thrombolysis using medication such as tissue plasminogen activator ( tPA ), or may require surgery such as a pulmonary thrombectomy . If blood thinners are not appropriate a vena cava filter may be used . Pulmonary emboli affect about 430 , 000 people each year in Europe . In the United States between 300 , 000 and 600 , 000 cases occur each year , which results in between 50 , 000 and 200 , 000 deaths . Rates are similar in males and females . They become more common as people get older . Signs and symptoms . Symptoms of pulmonary embolism are typically sudden in onset and may include one or many of the following : dyspnea ( shortness of breath ), tachypnea ( rapid breathing ), chest pain of a " pleuritic " nature ( worsened by breathing ), cough and hemoptysis ( coughing up blood ). More severe cases can include signs such as cyanosis ( blue discoloration , usually of the lips and fingers ), collapse , and circulatory instability because of decreased blood flow through the lungs and into ___MASK13___ side of the heart . About 15 % of all cases of sudden death are attributable to PE . Dealey Plaza , in the historic West End district of downtown Dallas , Texas ( U . S .), is the location of the assassination of John F . Kennedy on November 22 , 1963 .

Sadness , anxiety and guilt may occur . Tissue or clot - like material may also come out of the vagina . Risk factors for miscarriage include an older parent , previous miscarriage , exposure to tobacco smoke , obesity , diabetes , and drug or alcohol use , among others . In those under the age of 35 the risk is about 10 % while it is about 45 % in those over the age of 40 . Risk begins to increase around the age of 30 . About 80 % of miscarriages occur in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy ( the first trimester ). The underlying cause in about half of cases involves chromosomal abnormalities . Other conditions that can produce similar symptoms include an ectopic pregnancy and implantation bleeding . Diagnosis of a miscarriage may involve checking to see if the cervix is open or closed , testing blood levels of human chorionic gonadotropin ( hCG ), and an ultrasound . Prevention is occasionally ___MASK23___ with good prenatal care . Avoiding drugs and alcohol , infectious diseases , and radiation may prevent miscarriage . No specific treatment is usually needed during the first 7 to 14 days . Most miscarriage will complete without additional interventions . Occasionally the medication misoprostol or a procedure such as vacuum aspiration is required to remove the failed pregnancy . Women who are rhesus negative may require Rho ( D ) immune globulin . Pain medication may be beneficial . Emotional support may help with negative emotions . Miscarriage is the most common complication of early pregnancy . Among females who know they are pregnant , the miscarriage rate is roughly 10 % to 20 % while rates among all fertilisation is around 30 % to 50 %. About 5 % of females have two miscarriages in a row . Some recommend not using the term " abortion " in discussions with those experiencing a miscarriage in an effort to decrease distress .
