Doctor convicted for legal abortion to speak tonight

Kenneth Edelin was convicted of manslaughter after performing a legal abortion in Massachusetts in the 1970s.

One year later, his conviction was overturned, and Edelin went on to become a dean at Boston University’s Medical School.

Tonight he is set to address Planned Parenthood of Rhode Island’s annual spring fundraiser: Justice for All.

The event is set for tonight 6 p.m. at the Rhode Island Convention Center. Edelin will talk about the experiences chronicled in his book, “Broken Justice: A True Story of Race, Sex and Revenge in a Boston Courtroom."

Tickets for the event range from $25 to $100. For more information, or to purchase tickets, visit the PPRI Web site.
