Abortionist Tommy Tucker (read a first-hand account from one of his clinic workers here) opened his own Birmingham clinic, four years prior to speaking with The Atlanta Journal and Constitution. The paper reported that Tucker spends thousands of dollars lobbying the Alabama Legislature and fighting abortion restrictions in Mississippi:
“It started out as a financial thing,” Tucker told the paper, “But I got heavy into the [abortion rights] movement and realized there was a lot of need for physicians. We’re trying to make the people that are here on the earth have a better chance at success in life. We think we help a lot of people.”
The article describes Tucker as a person who considers himself as much a capitalist as a crusader and says he makes about $ 200,000 a year, which he says is low for obstetricians. He hopes income from all six clinics will eventually push his annual income to $ 700,000.
Tucker described himself to the paper as having
“a tremendous ego but being tremendously insecure,” and he says much of that insecurity is rooted in fear of financial ruin.”
“Abortion doctor says it’s the cause, and the cash that keeps him driving” The Atlanta Journal and Constitution, May 16, 1993
Dr. Tucker eventually lost his license for a fatal botched abortion where he refused to help a woman who was bleeding to death, leaving her with an untrained clinic employee. Read the story here.
