PANORAMA CITY, California, December 20, 2005 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Senator Barbara Boxer, known for her rabidly pro-abortion views, has demanded that the Osteopathic Medical Board of California immediately suspend the license of abortionist Laurence Reich.
In a strongly worded letter, Boxer referred to a recent CNN report about Reich that detailed Reich's criminal past as a sexual predator, but failed to mention that he is an abortionist.
"I never thought I would agree with Barbara Boxer on anything, but I whole-heartedly support her demand for the immediate suspension of abortionist Laurence Reich's license in the interest of public safety," said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman. "If someone like Sen. Boxer can see that this abortionist is a danger to the community, you know he must be a very dangerous man."
Operation Rescue reported on October 31, 2005, that Reich, a frequent focus of Operation Rescue demonstrations, had been convicted of sexually molesting his patients in 2002, but three years later the Osteopathic Medical Board still had not decided upon appropriate discipline. Reich had previously been convicted of sexually abusing his patients in incidents stemming back to the 1970s and was placed on 10 years probation, which was completed in 1994.
Reich is listed as the "medical director" for a small chain of Southern California abortion mills called Clinica Medica Para La Mujer De Hoy. According to the owner of the abortion mills, Bertha Bugarin, the chain targets women in the Hispanic community.
"We believe that Reich has found that the Hispanic Community is the perfect stalking grounds for his sexual attacks," said OR spokesperson Cheryl Sullenger, who has followed Reich's nefarious career and lodged complaints against him. "Women who may be in the U.S. illegally are especially vulnerable to exploitation because they are less likely to report a man like him to the authorities. We applaud Senator Boxer's efforts to stop Reich from further exploiting women."
