“McMahon is one of relatively few doctors in the country who specialize in performing abortions up to 24 weeks, or almost six months, into a pregnancy. He has, in dire circumstances, done them as far as 32 weeks from conception, just six weeks short of an average delivery date. For the most complicated procedures, he charges $8,000. For the easiest and earliest abortions, he charges $500, which is more than double the rate asked at most clinics.
“That’s my specialty,” this former altar boy says of abortion. “That’s my expertise. That’s my passion.”

NOTE: At a 1992 National Abortion Federation conference Dr. Martin Haskell was quoted saying that McMahon “performs these [abortions] up to 32 weeks or more.”
