Another Abortion Mill Busted, Roe vs. Wade Lives On
For decades, pro-choice types (particularly the rabid, extremist liberal ones) have used the “back alley abortion” argument to justify their cause. The reasoning behind this is the implication that if Roe vs. Wade were to be overturned, it would result in the proliferation of illegal abortions, and would endanger the lives of the women undergoing said unsafe procedures.
This, of course, is a farce.
Illegal abortion mills are alive and well in America. So much for the “back alley” argument:
A woman who operated an abortion clinic that catered to low-income Latino women has pleaded guilty to nine felony counts of practicing medicine without a license, the district attorney’s office announced today.Bertha Pinedo Bugarin, 48, faces as many as nine years in prison when sentenced Feb. 6.
Bugarin once operated six abortion clinics in Southern California, including Clinica Medica de la Mujer in Chula Vista, which advertised on Spanish-language television in San Diego.
Nine former patients identified Bugarin as the person who performed medical procedures on them. One gave birth to a premature baby after going to the clinic for what she thought was an abortion. Another paid $500 for an abortion but had to return for a second procedure when it was unsuccessful, according to court testimony.
A New Jersey abortion clinic was shut down last weekend, nearly a month after a woman who had an abortion there became ill and fell unconscious, the woman and the authorities said yesterday.The woman, Rasheedah Dinkins, 20, who her lawyer said was forced to undergo a hysterectomy as a result of the abortion, filed a lawsuit yesterday in State Superior Court in Newark against the clinic, Metropolitan Medical Associates in Englewood, and several doctors who work there.
As a result of that complaint, the health department went to inspect the clinic on Feb. 2, and that investigation was still open. The department also moved up a previously scheduled licensing inspection, to last week, and then ordered the clinic to stop seeing new patients, citing violations related to infection control, instruments, and equipment used for sterilization.
