By Amy Jeter The Virginian-Pilot © March 10, 2011 VIRGINIA BEACH An abortion provider who recently was disciplined in New Jersey for transporting late-term abortion patients between states owns a women's health clinic not far from the Little Neck section of the city. Dr. Steven C. Brigham had his medical license suspended last fall by the New Jersey Board of Medical Examiners after authorities discovered he had begun at least five late-term abortions in New Jersey and then transported the patients to his clinic in Maryland, where state law allows second-trimester abortions outside a hospital, according to news reports.

We throw the word "shocking" around for things that aren't quite so. This story is SHOCKING!!!! State authorities last night suspended the medical license of a West Philadelphia doctor whose practice was raided last week by federal drug agents. The suspension came after a hours-long search of Kermit B. Gosnell's practice, Women's Medical Society, at 3801 Lancaster Ave. in Powelton Village. The suspension order says the conditions of the clinic were "deplorable and unsanitary." It states: "There was blood on the floor, and parts of aborted fetuses were displayed in jars." The fetuses were discovered after authorities raid the office...

By now, any engaged pro-life Catholic worth his rosary beads has read and reread the astonishing and sickening story of an abortion clinic danse macabre in Florida where a “failed” abortion produced a perfectly live and healthy baby. The owner of the “clinic” apparently took it upon herself to rectify this medical mishap by severing the baby’s umbilical chord without tying it off first and allowed the little girl to die alone inside the confines of a biohazard plastic bag.On March 3, 2009, the owner was formally charged with two felonies; practicing medicine without a license, a turn of language...

Austin, TX -- State health department officials have asked the Planned Parenthood abortion business in Texas to shut down four facilities it says are operating without proper medical licenses. Now, Texas state legislators want an investigation of the abortion centers and say the problems may result in a cut in taxpayer funding for the abortion business in the state budget.

Los Angeles, CA (LifeNews.com) -- More details are emerging in a case where a counselor at the UCLA student health center advised a pregnant student to have an abortion. The woman in the case, a pro-life student posing as a pregnant teenager, says Planned Parenthood attempted to advise her to disguise statutory rape. In an undercover investigative story for a student-run newspaper, UCLA student Lila Rose posed as a pregnant 15 year-old and entered a Santa Monica Planned Parenthood. She told officials there that a 23 year old man had impregnated her and her article in The Advocate newspaper says...

Abortion proponents said making abortion legal would stop back-alley abortions. In reality, all legalizing abortion did was make back-alley abortions legal. I've previously written about characters like Krishna Rajanna, the fetus-eating abortionist in Kansas, and Rodolfo Finkelstein, the sexual pervert abortionist in Michigan. But now I've stumbled on a nest of abortionist snakes in Miami, certainly making it America's legalized back-alley abortion capital. Readers may have read news stories two weeks ago of workers at a Hialeah, Fla., abortion mill allegedly killing a newborn baby. Hialeah is next to Miami. That was merely the tip of the slice-and-dice-berg. Frantz...

When Lue Allen got pregnant in 1953, she was just 20 and not ready to be a parent. "I was young," she said at a news conference this morning. "I was scared. I wanted one thing. I wanted an abortion." Abortion was illegal at the time but Allen knew that if you could borrow $200 you could find somebody to do the procedure. Allen did just that. "It wasn't a back alley," she said. But it wasn't clean or safe either. Allen said she felt a tremendous sense of relief from the abortion and went on to marry and have...

GREENFIELD, Massachusetts, February 2, 2006 (LifeSiteNews.com) - A 50-year-old woman who performed an illegal abortion on a young woman, causing infection so severe she required hospitalization, has been given a sentence of two months probation and a $500 dollar fine. Deva Skydancer pleaded guilty to one count of practicing medicine without a license—the State then dropped a charge of illegal procurement of an abortion. Skydancer admitted to the court that she performed a suction abortion on a 25-year-old woman, who was ten and a half weeks pregnant. Skydancer called the abortion a “menstrual extraction.” Skydancer’s lawyer David Hoose argued for...
