Dr. Louis T. Payne, 81 year old former abortionist at West Alabama Women’s Center in Tuscaloosa, voluntarily surrendered his medical license during an investigation by the Alabama State Board of Medical Examiners.
A complaint was made to the Alabama Medical Board in the fall of 2019 when witnesses saw him going into work while his arm looked to be immobilized by his side, as in a sling or harness. Considering he was the only abortionist in Tuscaloosa at the time, questions were raised as to how Payne could safely do abortions with only one healthy arm. Other complaints have also been made against Payne, including his repeatedly taking a dog into West Alabama Women’s Center.
As of October 21, 2020, Payne is no longer authorized to practice medicine in Alabama.
