Abortion doctor Steven Brigham's decades of disciplinary trouble came to a head Wednesday when the New Jersey Board of Medical Examiners yanked his last remaining medical license.
The board cited Brigham for doing late-term abortions that began in New Jersey and ended in Maryland, violating the laws of both states.
It ordered him to pay a $140,000 penalty and as-yet-unspecified costs of prosecution, even though Brigham revealed that he is in dire financial straits from IRS liens imposed on him for not paying employee taxes.
Without a New Jersey license, Brigham will lose his eight clinics in the Garden State, which have continued to operate while his license was suspended. The clinics make up the bulk of his multistate abortion business, American Women's Services.
The 16 board members voted unanimously that Brigham had engaged in professional misconduct, dishonesty and misrepresentations, and repeated acts of negligence, based on the records.
The board went beyond the ruling of an administrative law judge, who had recommended revocation of his license in August.
Brigham said he was disappointed by the outcome and maintained he was "a good doctor." He can appeal the decision to the Appellate Division of Superior Court.
Jeri Warhaftig, deputy attorney general, said Brigham "has had many bites of the apple. He is not entitled to leniency, nor is he entitled to pity because he is in debt. Time and again he has been slippery and disingenuous."
The case began more than four years ago. The prosecution found that Brigham was using a two-state scheme so he could perform late-term abortions for which his New Jersey clinics were not licensed or equipped. In addition, New Jersey requires that such risky surgeries be performed by an obstetrician-gynecologist, and Brigham, a general practitioner, was not credentialed to do them.

Sounds like it was way way way way overdue too
He needs to be in prison.
Nice to see.
HOWEVER - I spend a LOT of time at Walgreen’s picking up prescriptions for my Dad and you can buy a home abortion kit for under $50. No. Questions. Asked. It’s RIGHT THERE, at the check out counter!
Why doesn’t the Pro-Life crowd go after those kits, while they’re at it? I mean, I know, unfortunately, they’re legal in some states, but still. Depresses me each and every time.
Yeah he need share cell with “Tiny”
About freaking time.
This guy isn't a good doctor, isn't a good citizen, isn't a good businessman, and obviously isn't a good human being. About the only thing he's good at that I can tell is using murder for profit... and apparently he isn't even good at the profit part.
Oh please Gerry they are all way way way way way overdue. No other doc would be allowed the crap they pull.
I don’t know what Walgreen you go to
I don’t see mine maybe State of CA is not having it LOL!
I see Paternity test at my local Walgreens
His license to kill?
How bad do you have to get your license yanked when your primary skill is to kill half your patients on purpose?
He needs to be dangling at the end of a rope.
He needs to be tarred, and feathered, and ridden out of town on a rail.
He needs to be beaten to death with axe handles.
He should be eternally grateful to God that none of these things have happened (yet); he needs to repent of his sins (publicly, since he committed them publicly), renounce his ill gotten gains, and turn his life over to Christ. See Zacchaeus, for example, as an example.
I am trying to imply that the medical examiners ignored this for as long as they could. They looked the other way
