KOMO-TV in Seattle presented Kabacy as a stalwart hero, unjustly targeted by fanatics for his devotion to reproductive rights:
In January 1995, at the height of violence against abortion providers, some militant anti-abortionists unveiled their "Deadly Dozen" poster, identifying doctors who performed abortions. Among those listed - with a home address - was Kabacy, who then practiced at Planned Parenthood of the Columbia-Willamette, in Oregon.
....
Kabacy, who in 1988 was named the Oregon Medical Association's Doctor-Citizen of the Year ....
Of course, the haighographic coverage of the pervy doctor ommitted the lawsuits against him for the deaths of patients Gwendolyn Lee Ray-Yarbour and Tamara L. Willis. (Not abortion-related deaths, though Gwen died after care at the Lovejoy abortion clinic.)
What else did this admiring coverage omit? Oh yeah! The nature of the crime he'd plead guilty to!
Kabacy admitted in the plea agreement that he knowingly possessed more than 8,000 still digital images and additional video files of child pornography.
....
"Defendant further admits that some of said images depicted sadomasochistic conduct, including bondage or bestiality involving minors," the papers say.
"Defendant further admits that some of said images depicted pre-pubescent minors and/or minors under the age of 12 years."
I'd say that at this point George Kabacy trumps Milan Chepko, who stuck with the standard adult-on-child and child-on-child sex, with adult scatology.
Now, you're editing an AP story about this guy. Which do you leave in and which do you edit out? And if you're the AP guy writing the story, wouldn't you check the guy's background for more scandal as well as for whether or not the nutjobs had his name on their "Deadly Dozen" poster?
