2. He was performing illegal abortions.
Perhaps PA should take a look at what they permit. PA's definition of legal abortion:

Statutory Definition of Legal Abortion
M.D. must find, in his clinical judgment, that abortion must be necessary or that a "referring M.D." has sent a written signed statement saying so; after viability, 24 wks., necessary to preserve life of mother or prevent serious risk of substantial and irreversible impairment of bodily function. Viability defined as when M.D., based on facts of particular case, finds reasonable likelihood of fetus' sustained survival outside the mother's body.

We should all want to prevent these conditions and consequences by providing safe and legal abortion services for any who choose them.
