reported that a warrant was issued for Blaine’s arrest on the charge of “larceny under $100.” Thestory added that a spokesperson for the London Agency accused Blaine of using the “records for extortion attempts in phone calls made from Kentucky.” Blaine said he used the files to contact the women who could not afford the agency’s steep price. He claimed that he turned a quick profit offering illegal abortions to these women out of a hotel room near Boston.
Blaine’s story is as haunting as it is frighteningly relevant; though extraordinary, his career is not exceptional. There were countless unskilled men and women like Blaine who exploited those seeking to end their pregnancies. But his story raises hard questions about what will happen if the Supreme Courtor further interferes with abortion rights—a scenario that seems increasingly likely with the pending confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh.
Joseph Blaine contacted me because he wanted someone to tell his story so that he could find fame and fortune in his old age. He described himself as a “” [sic] acting on behalf of women’s best interests. I broke off contact with him because I couldn’t tell his story on his terms. I did not want to help him profit further from activities that wounded so many women. Blaine’s career as an abortionist, as with his reason for contacting me, struck me as a testament to his self-interest.
This picture is a dumb choice...unless you intend to be inflammatory? do better!!
Y’all couldn’t pick a better picture? This really gives off late term abortion vibes and idk that doesn’t seem responsible.
