Harley Blank's career, which spanned more than 45 years of performing abortions, ended with the permanent revocation of his license earlier this month. The revocation is related to improperly prescribing drugs without keeping patient records, according to state documents.

Blank, 79, is the obstetrician and gynecologist who performed the first legal abortion in Ohio weeks after the Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton decisions in January 1973.

He agreed to the revocation of his medical license "in lieu of formal disciplinary proceedings."

Blank signed an agreement on October 25 to surrender his license over charges "related to prescribing controlled substances as a practicing OB-GYN to men and failing to keep any charts or patient records on these men, as well as my desire to cease active patient care after being licensed for more than 50 years."
