Perhaps the most spectacular case of a troubled NAF member was Dr. [[Abu Hayat]] of New York. Hayat made headlines in 1991 when he attempted a 32-week abortion in his office. He removed the right arm from the [[fetus]], then sent the mother home with instructions to return the following day to complete the procedure. In pain, she instead went to a [[hospital]] where she gave birth to a maimed infant. When the news broke,  ''[[New York Post]]'' reporters discovered that Hayat had performed a botched abortion the year before, resulting in the death of the 17-year-old patient. Women came forward with multiple accusations of malpractice and sexual abuse. Hayat was stripped of his license by the medical board and successfully prosecuted for the attempted illegal abortion that had resulted in the birth of the maimed baby.<ref>[http://www.nytimes.com/1993/06/15/nyregion/prison-term-for-doctor-convicted-in-abortions.html Richard Perez-Pena, "Prison Term For Doctor Convicted In Abortions", ''New York Times'', June 15, 1993]</ref> The 1991 National Abortion Federation Annual Report lists Hayat as a member.

More recently, questions regarding the safety of the abortion drug [[RU-486]] arose following a cluster of deaths in southern [[California]]. Two of the four dead women obtained their fatal doses at NAF facilities. One woman was prescribed the drugs at Eve Surgical Center by Dr. [[Christopher Dotson]]. At the time of the fatal abortion, Dotson had not yet completed eight years medical board probation for gross negligence and incompetence in the death of a patient. The other woman obtained her fatal dose at a [[Family Practice Associates Medical Group]] clinic<ref>[http://www.covenantnews.com/newswire/archives/014294.html "Abortion Pill Investigated", ''Covenant News'', August 15, 2005]</ref>, becoming the twelfth confirmed abortion death at FPA facilities.
