in 1934, reginald rankin approached dr. george watts and proposed to him an idea for an organized criminal abortion syndicate that would span the entire west coast, from seattle to the u.s.-mexico border. he approached watts specifically, because watts was an abortion specialist. he created this new technique called the vacuum aspiration technique. it sounds incredibly scary, but it meant that his abortions were safe. he was able to practice for four years and stayed under the radar. it reduced the risk of infection, because it basically removed all fetal tissue from the uterus. that's why his method worked. rankin approached watts, watts came on board. between 1934 and 1936, rankin brought in other abortion specialists, even some physicians, he created new offices. by 1936, he had over 30 abortion specialists working for him. to most women who sot the services of rankin or any of the physicians working for him, rankin himself was not an abortionist or specialist, he was the genius, the mastermind behind all of this. if any

let's go back to reginald rankin. we are not done with him yet. after he served time in san quentin, he tries to create an abortion arraigned in reno, nevada, and he goes to prison for that one, too. he eventually makes his way back to california. he meets up with dr. royal buffum. they originally met in the 1930's. rank try to get him to join the pacific coast abortion ring. it is unclear how they became reacquainted, but they do become reacquainted sometime after 1950. together, these men decided to create a new abortion business. they opened up an office in long beach, california, and they would help make arrangements for women seeking abortions. once a woman approached them, they would take their phone number, call them, and make a designated meeting place where they would meet up. from that designated meeting place, either buffum or rank him would transport women in a station wagon to tiajuana, mexico, where another man would perform the procedure. after the procedure, the women were driven back and went their separate ways. in the specific c

this is reginald rankin, that is mug shot. before the rankin case, before that, successful abortions who were basically invisible from the wider public. but with scores of living witnesses, there is a mountain of evidence against these people. what this case does, i argue, is it opens for stricter enforcement of the abortion statutes in california. fewer physicians began to risk performing the procedure unless they are sure their patient has a clear, justifiable reason. furthermore, on top of this, in the 1930's, we begin to see more labor, delivery, and other services moving into the hospital. and legal abortions, as well. if legal abortions are moving into hospitals, whereas before they may have been performed in doctors offices, the need for some of these clinics, even their visibility, comes under greater scrutiny. so now, there is effectively a lower burden of proof that is necessary to bring an illegal abortionist to prison. if legal abortions are taking place in hospitals, clinics don't need speculums, operating tables,
