Sherri Finkbine
Sherri Finkbine (born Sherri Chessen in 1932) is an American television actress.
Finkbine was known as Miss Sherri on the local Phoenix, Arizona, version of the franchised children's show, ''Romper Room''. The ''Finkbine Case'' began in London, England, in 1961, when her husband was chaperoning sixty-four high school students on a European tour. He obtained some Thalidomide and carried the remainder home. Finkbine took thirty-six of the pills in the early stages of her pregnancy. Neither she nor her husband was aware until July 1962 that the pills contained Thalidomide.〔

In 1962, when Finkbine was pregnant with her fifth child, she had been taking Thalidomide, a drug which if taken by a pregnant woman, causes the fetus(es) within her to become deformed while in utero.〔Becker, Bill (25 July 1962). (Abortion to Bar Defective Birth Is Facing Legal Snag in Arizona ), ''The New York Times'', Retrieved November 16, 2010〕 Finkbine's physician strongly recommended that she obtain a therapeutic abortion,〔'Before Roe v. Wade: Voices that Shaped the Abortion Debate Before the Supreme Court's Ruling'(Publishing ), 2010, pgs. 11-18.〕 the only type of abortion that was permitted in Arizona at the time. Finkbine contacted a friend at the ''Arizona Republic'' to tell her story, so that other women who were taking Thalidomide would be warned. Although Finkbine had been assured anonymity, her identity was not kept secret.〔"Sherri Finkbine’s Abortion: Its Meaning 50 Years Later" (Parenthood Advocates of Arizona ), 15 August 2012, http://blog.advocatesaz.org/2012/08/15/sherri-finkbines-abortion-its-meaning-50-years-later/〕
Following the paper's publication of Finkbine's story, the hospital at which she planned to have the abortion performed, wary of the publicity, sought assurance that it would not be prosecuted.〔(31 July 1962). (Mother Loses Round in Legal Battle for Abortion; Arizona Court Dismisses Suit for Prosecution Immunity ), ''The New York Times'', Retrieved November 16, 2010〕 When such assurance was not forthcoming, the scheduled abortion was canceled. When Finkbine's physician asked for a court order to proceed with the abortion, Finkbine and her husband became public figures,〔(26 July 1962). (Abortion Suit is Filed ), ''The New York Times'', Retrieved November 16, 2010〕〔(28 June 1962). (Phoenix Abortion Ruling Delayed ), ''The New York Times'', Retrieved November 16, 2010〕 receiving letters and phone calls in opposition to her requested abortion. A few letters included death threats,〔 and the FBI was brought in to protect her.〔Buck, Jerry (18 June 1992) (HBO films explores 'A Private Matter' ), ''Wilmington Morning Star'', Retrieved November 16, 2010〕 She also lost her job at the TV station. Finkbine’s case was dismissed by Judge Yale McFate, who found that he didn’t have the authority to make a decision on the matter.〔
