At the time of her birth, abortion was illegal.
Ms. Hopper did not return a call for comment this week.
But she told her story in an online video posted by Protect Life Michigan, an anti-abortion advocacy group.
According to Ms. Hopper, her mother sought medical care at a clinic in central Florida in 1955 because of bleeding and other complications.
A nurse helped take Ms. Hopper to a hospital in Lakeland, Fla., where she survived several bouts of pneumonia.
