My family and I participated in a protest at his Phoenix abortuary in the mid 80s. He is evil.

Let me get this straight, a human being who is willing to rip a child from its mothers womb... and you are shocked that he could possibly be a sexual predator and fondle and otherwise assault women?
Seems to me, like it or not, one who willingly engages in murder for profit, would have no issue abusing women for his own sexual gratification.....

What kind of world do we live in, in which someone who has performed more than 30,000 abortions can be considered a "prominent" member of his community, but if he pinches, kisses or fondles patients, he gets 34 years in prison? EXACTLY right! Of course, the Party Line on this one is likely to be that if the vile anti-choice bombers/gunmen had not scared off all the decent doctors, a sexual predator would not have been able to rise to the high ranks of the baby-killing profession.

Yet, many female journalists (and others that have echoed them) said they'd happily perform services on der Slickmeister for keeping abortion legal! Yup, that was Nina Burleigh. What a class act....I remember her saying that that was better than having a 'theocracy'.....
Her kids, assuming she hasn't aborted them, must be proud.

Finkel, who performed more than 30,000 abortions over the past 20 years, had become a national figure in the 1990s. He often appeared on network talk shows denouncing the growing violence of abortion protesters, who he compared to terrorists
While he's in prison, maybe someone will take a sharp instrument to his head and body and rip him to shreds. Then one could say that it was too bad he didn't die as an innocent who never even got the opportunity to sin.

NARAL: Abortionist's 34-Year Assault Sentence 'Cruel'
(2004-01-02) -- The National Abortion Rights Action League (NARAL) today called on a Phoenix, Arizona, judge to suspend the sentence of an abortion doctor who sexually assaulted his patients.
A jury today sentenced Dr. Brian Finkel to 34-3/4 years in prison after convicting him last month of 22 counts of sexual assault on his abortion clinic customers.
"This is cruel and unusual punishment," said NARAL President Kate Michelman. "Rather than confine this man behind bars with a bunch of brutal murderers where he cannot use his prodigious gifts and talents, Dr. Finkel should be returned to his practice to continue his service to the community."
In two decades of service, Dr. Finkel performed some 30,000 abortions. His crimes consisted of kissing and fondling his abortion patients against their will.
"We cannot condone the disgusting things Dr. Finkel did to women who trusted him," said Ms. Michelman, "However, we must consider the greater good of the community. If he is returned to his professional work, then ultimately it will reduce the number of women who might be victims of sexual assault by reducing the actual births of boys and girls who grow up to be sexual assailants and victims."
NARAL-funded studies show that unwanted fetuses, whose mothers fail to choose abortion, are more likely to become involved in sexual crimes as adults.
"If Dr. Finkel is able to prevent just one sexual assault by aborting the potential assailant or the victim," she said. "It will, in a sense, atone for his crimes against women."(ScrappleFace)

It would be lovely if they put him in the same cell as Eric Rudolph.

Please tell me that post is intentional satire and not an actual press release from NARAL.It is satire, but what's the difference? Did you read of those instructions from NARAL to the rat party to oppose any practicing Roman Catholic seeking a post a federal judge, in violation of Title 7 of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 preventing discrimination based upon religious faith?

I'd heard of those - guess things like that tend to mess up my sarcasm meter. I'm just hoping the ridiculous nature of true positioning of all things leftist won't go much farther.
