Bruce Finkel, who performed over 30,000 abortions, had a charge of rape filed against him by student nurse. After his arrest, over 100 women accused him of sexually molesting them, many during their abortions. He was convicted on 22 counts of sexual assault and given a sentence of 35 years.
Researcher Rachel MacNair discusses the response of the Arizona chapter of the National Organization for Women.
After discussing the excuses NOW made for another abortion doctor who molested his patients, she said the following:
“In the case of BF, the response was even worse: the spokesperson for the Arizona chapter of the National Organization for Women, familiar with the case, assured people that the women were lying, and this was due to an antiabortion conspiracy.
How over 100 women of sufficient pro-choice philosophy to go to an abortion provider, many if not most of whom were in fact getting abortions, along with several former employees of the clinic, were talked into making the allegations was not clearly explained.
Advocates in NOW are not normally inclined to take the side of the accused in sexual abuse cases, outside the context of the accused being abortion provider.”
