Bombed Club Linked to Abortion Doctor
- Share via
The owner of a bombed gay nightclub in Atlanta had a doctor brother who was well known for pioneering a method of performing late-term abortions. Dr. James T. McMahon, who died in 1995, taught obstetrics and gynecology in Los Angeles and regularly performed the procedure. Federal agents said they would look into his connection to Beverly McMahon, owner of The Otherside Lounge. A nail-laden bomb exploded at the club Friday, injuring five people.
