Anniversary: Doctor performs fatal abortion
On January 16, 1937, Dr. Samuel Roth performed an abortion in his office on a woman who then died. I have been unable to uncover her name. Roth's license was suspended at the time. He pleaded guilty to manslaughter on December 23, 1941, and was sentenced to a year in prison.
