Abortion scandal[edit]

Howard's Friendship Medical Clinic ended up getting included among the seedy abortion mills featured in the Chicago Sun-Times expose, "The Abortion Profiteers." Mason himself was sued for performing the fatal abortion on Julia L. Rogers, who died of pneumonia and peritonitis after Howard poked a hole in her uterus. Evelyn Dudley and Dorothy Brown also died after abortions at Friendship. In fact, I had only known of Howard as a seedy abortionist until somebody searching for him ended up at my blog, and I backtracked their search. I was astonished to learn that Howard had actually had such an illustrious history.

I'll have to go back over my e-notes (which I don't have at this computer) to see what else I have on Friendship. ChristinaDunigan 13:02, 3 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Source, please?[edit]

This was in the article: "He also became well-known as a leading abortion provider and was arrested in 1964 and 1965 but never convicted."

Where is the source for this?ChristinaDunigan 13:19, 3 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sources needed[edit]

All factual material, such as allegations about the Friendship Clinic or his actions, needs to be cited to Reliable Sources, such as academic books or mainstream newspapers/media.Parkwells (talk) 23:20, 14 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

COI hatnote?[edit]

@MurrayGreshler: I see you added a COI hatnote to this article. Since this is a biography article for someone dead almost 50 years, what sort of COI are you seeing that caused you to tag this article? Grorp (talk) 06:35, 9 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

See what I deleted from the article. MurrayGreshler (talk) 03:09, 10 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@MurrayGreshler: I cannot read your mind. Other than various copy edit bits and pieces, the only thing I see is that you removed (objected to) the raw url citation https://www-clinicalkey-com.proxy1.library.jhu.edu/#!/content/playContent/1-s2.0-S0002962917302860 which I had tagged in April (diff) because it leads to a login page at John Hopkins website and I don't have access to it (and without a title, I couldn't look for it elsewhere). The citation had been added a week or so beforehand (diff). But we have no idea what the content is, and I don't see any connection between Johns Hopkins and TRM Howard, so I fail to imagine why you think that is a COI issue rather than just content that you cannot verify yourself. Removing content and citations simply on the basis that you cannot access them violates WP:SOURCEACCESS; an unaccessible source does not mean it doesn't exist. Please explain your reason for using the COI tag, or remove the tag. Grorp (talk) 07:08, 10 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
