1927: Chicago doctor arrested for fatal abortion
On August 9, 1927,
Irene Campbell
died in the Chicago office of Dr. Herman Webber from an abortion performed there that day. Webber was arrested on August 9, and on September 1 he was indicted for felony murder.
Irene's abortion was typical of illegal abortions in that it was
performed by a physician
.
