Wortman, of Rochester, was a prominent obstetrician/gynecologist in the area. He made headlines in the 1990s as an abortion provider and was often attacked by anti-abortion activists.

Geneseo resident Morgan Hellquist, the daughter of one of Wortman’s patients who got pregnant in the 1980s, sued him in 2021.
