A notorious abortionist in Port Charlotte, Florida, has permanently closed his abortion venue, following a yearlong investigation led by Reprotection, Inc., a national women’s watchdog organization that works to shut down dangerous abortion providers. Together with Thomas More Society attorneys and concerned Florida citizens, Reprotection brought multiple complaints against abortionist Ali Azima and his Venice Women’s Health Center to the attention of the Florida Department of Health.
After receiving reports from eyewitnesses in Port Charlotte about Azima’s repeated endangerment of patients, Reprotection’s investigation verified the abortionist’s history of medical negligence, previous medical license suspension, and lack of a license to legally operate his abortion business.
“We are so glad that Ali Azima has retired and stopped harming women and killing children in Florida,” said Missy Stone, Senior Analyst at Reprotection. “With one more abortion business shut down, lives will be saved and women’s health will no longer be endangered. Reprotection will continue to investigate dangerous doctors and abortion businesses nationwide and hold them accountable.”
“It is cases like this one that makes the work of Reprotection so important. I assume Azima shut his shop at least in part because Reprotection kept documenting his atrocious failures,” stated Senior Counsel Matt Heffron, of the Thomas More Society which often works with Stone and her team.
“But this highlights a question that must be answered: Why do so many governmental units avoid their duties to regulate abortion facilities?” asked Heffron. “If Azima had been in any other business, you can be assured there would have been swift action to protect the public. The fact that he was still in business after so many complaints and verified violations is astounding.”
Documented concerns about Azima, in addition to his operation of an unlicensed and uninspected facility and previously suspended medical license, include:
* Observed mental and physical impairments including uncontrollably shaking hands
* Failure to obtain medical histories and monitor key health factors prior to performing surgical abortions
* Performance of incomplete abortion surgeries
* Implantation of birth control devices in women who were already pregnant, resulting in emergency abortions
* Failure to comply with required post-surgical practices to ensure abortion completion and patient’s physical and emotional well-being
Reprotection launched its investigation into Azima when witnesses observed a woman in physical distress running out of Venice Women’s Health Center partially undressed with blood running down her legs. Pro-life advocates present outside of the abortion venue found out that she had been in the middle of an abortion and assisted her in obtaining emergency medical help.
In collaboration with local life advocates, the Reprotection team filed several complaints with the Florida Department of Health’s Division of Medical Quality Assurance and Division of Health Quality Assurance, the state’s elected officials and the governor’s office, alerting them that Azima was a grave threat to the health and safety of Florida women. Prompted by Reprotection’s complaints, the Florida Department of Health opened an investigation. Shortly thereafter, Azima announced that he was closing his abortion venue on September 3, 2021.
When I trained in springfield, mo in early 90’s there was an abortionist from ST Louis who operated a satellite clinic one or two days a week. The OB/gyn surgeons I worked with hated this guy. They had to “clean up” messes he created. He finally was shut down when a young lady became unresponsive during abortion and he did not have a crash cart or even so much as an airway or ambu-bag. He just called ambulance and went to his next case.
Between the North Port Police and the missing woman and this the SW Central Fl aint looked to good
Sounds like Kermit Gosnell
Eventually he will have to meet God and answer for all those souls who will meet him at the moment of his death.
“dangerous abortion facilities” - Does anyone else find that to be ironically redundant? And even self-evident?
