| Abortion History: Doctor pleads guilty in abortion death | |
| |
On December 5, 1948, Dr. Cyril B. Babb pleaded guilty to performing a fatal abortion on Doris Becker the previous Wednesday in his office. Doris died 20 hours later at the apartment of a friend, Anne Martin. Anne and a bartender, George Kutrones, were held as material witnesses. Babb also admitted to performing 30 other abortions. Doris's abortion was typical of pre-legalization abortions in that it was performed by a physician. Source: New York Times 12-5-48
