Between Her & Her Doctor?

A Michigan abortionist whose clinic was shut down in 2012 faces allegations from a doctor who found a severed infant's head inside the body of one of his patients.
In an email read by Michigan state Sen. Tonya Schuitmaker (R-Lawton), a Muskegon OB/GYN has urged the state to revoke the medical license of abortionist Dr. Robert Alexander. The physician observed that he has treated several of Alexander’s patients in the emergency room, including one woman in her second trimester whose uterus Alexander allegedly perforated during an abortion.
“Dr. Alexander perforated the woman’s uterus so badly that it was hanging on by two blood vessels,” the physician wrote. “The decapitated head of a fetus was in the woman’s abdomen and the large intestine had been grasped and pulled away from its blood supply and into the vagina. The woman required a hysterectomy, colonoscopy, and several units of blood to save her life.”
The physician added, “I, for one, was very happy to hear he is no longer practicing in Muskegon, but I fear for women anywhere this man would go.”
LifeNews reports that though Alexander’s clinic was shut down in December of 2012 due to unsafe and unsanitary conditions, Michigan’s state medical board never terminated his license to practice medicine.
According to Target 8 Woodtv.com in Muskegon, an apparent conflict of interest allowed Alexander to continue to practice after complaints against him were not investigated.
A Target 8 investigation in February found that over 10 months after a Muskegon physician alleged, in 2009, that Alexander had botched abortions, Dr. George Shade, the chairman of the Michigan Board of Medicine responded to the complaint with the statement, “No investigation needed.”

According to the investigation, several years earlier, Shade had helped Alexander reinstate his medical license after Alexander had served time in prison for selling illegal prescriptions.
The result of the closed-out complaint was that Alexander continued to operate the Women’s Medical Services clinic on E. Apple Avenue until the city of Muskegon shut it down recently over alleged unsafe and unsanitary conditions.
Photos obtained by Target 8 in January were taken by police when they entered the facility on December 26, 2012 to investigate a break-in. The photos revealed some of the unsanitary conditions that led the Muskegon Fire Marshal to shut down Alexander’s clinic.
Authorities said that the violations placed the health and safety of patients at risk. The conditions observed by the investigator included stained medical equipment, trash located near lab equipment, a leaky ceiling, and “blood dripping from a sink p-trap in a room used by patients.”
Police found evidence of a broken rear window that was connected to the break-in. However, what they observed inside the abortion clinic was a long list of violations that were termed a danger to “human life and public welfare,” and that ultimately led the fire marshal to close the facility down.
The fire marshal noted improper disposal of syringes and needles, unsterilized medical equipment, and dumping of chemicals and other liquids down the drain.
According to Target 8 investigators who spoke with Alexander over the phone, he blamed the conditions on the break-in.
“The last time I was there, when I left, it was pristine,” Alexander said.
On Tuesday, the state Senate Judiciary Committee projected Target 8’s investigation onto a wall of a hearing room so that senators could be informed. Committee members commented that the report raised serious questions about the manner in which the state Board of Medicine and the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA) oversees doctors.

Mike, Mike, Mike, in the theme of a rancher's forum, this is between the woman and her butcher. Please stay out of it.

By golly you may have something here. Having the Amalgamated Meat Cutters & Butchers Union perform these abortions could bring down the cost exponentially and give more options for those seeking providers.

Well, maybe not bring costs down.................................

I'm sure meat cutter union wages are already in line with those of the medical profession.

Hopefully they'll snip his spine while submerging him in a toilet. Planned Parenthood tries to make hay of these grizzly murders. :mad:

A Philadelphia doctor was found guilty Monday of murdering three babies born alive in an abortion clinic, Fox News confirms. He was acquitted in the fourth baby's death, and found guilty of involuntary manslaughter in the overdose death of an adult patient.

Dr. Kermit Gosnell, 72, was convicted of first-degree murder and could face execution in the deaths of three babies who authorities say were delivered alive and then killed with scissors at his grimy clinic, in a case that became a flashpoint in the nation's debate over abortion.

Gosnell was cleared in the death of a fourth baby, who prosecutors say let out a soft whimper before he snipped its neck.

Gosnell was also found guilty of involuntary manslaughter in the drug-overdose death of a patient who had undergone an abortion.

Gosnell appeared hopeful before the verdict and calm afterward; jurors and lawyers on both sides were more emotional.

The jury will return Tuesday to hear evidence on whether Gosnell should get the death penalty.

Jack McMahon, Gosnell's attorney, described the doctor as "disappointed" and "upset" over the verdict but said the defense team respected the jury's ruling.

"They obviously took their job seriously," McMahon said of the jury. "The verdict should be respected based on their effort."

Former clinic employees testified that Gosnell routinely performed illegal late-term abortions past Pennsylvania's 24-week limit, that he delivered babies who were still moving, whimpering or breathing, and that he and his assistants "snipped" the newborns' spines, as he referred to it.

"Are you human?" prosecutor Ed Cameron snarled during closing arguments as Gosnell sat calmly at the defense table. "To med these women up and stick knives in the backs of babies?"

The grisly details came out more than two years ago during an investigation of prescription drug trafficking at Gosnell's clinic in an impoverished section of West Philadelphia.

Authorities said the clinic was a foul-smelling "house of horrors" with bags and bottles of stored fetuses, including jars of severed feet, along with bloodstained furniture, dirty medical instruments, and cats roaming the premises.

Pennsylvania authorities had failed to conduct routine inspections of all of its abortion clinics for 15 years by the time Gosnell's facility was raided and closed down. In the scandal's aftermath, two top state health department officials were fired, and Pennsylvania imposed tougher rules for clinics.

Four former clinic employees have pleaded guilty to murder and four more to other charges. They include Gosnell's wife, Pearl, a cosmetologist who helped perform abortions.

Both sides of the abortion divide seized on the case. Abortion foes said it exposed the true nature of abortion in all its disturbing detail. Abortion rights activists warned that Gosnell's rogue practice foreshadows what poor and desperate young women could face if abortion is driven underground with more restrictive laws.

Midway through the six-week trial, anti-abortion activists accused the mainstream media of ignoring the case because it reflected badly on the abortion rights cause. Major news organizations denied the allegation, though a number promptly sent reporters to cover the trial.

After prosecutors rested their case, Common Pleas Judge Jeffrey Minehart threw out for lack of evidence three of seven murder counts involving aborted fetuses. That left the jury to weigh charges involving fetuses identified as Baby A, Baby C, Baby D and Baby E.

Prosecution experts said one was nearly 30 weeks along when it was aborted, and it was so big that Gosnell allegedly joked it could "walk to the bus." A second fetus was said to be alive for some 20 minutes before a clinic worker snipped its neck. A third was born in a toilet and was moving before another clinic employee grabbed it and severed its spinal cord, according to testimony. Baby E let out a soft whimper before Gosnell cut its neck, the jury was told; Gosnell was acquitted in that baby's death.

Gosnell's attorney, Jack McMahon, argued that none of the fetuses was born alive and that any movements were posthumous twitching or spasms.

He also contended that the 2009 death of 41-year-old Karnamaya Mongar of Woodbridge, Va., a Bhutanese immigrant who had been given repeated doses of Demerol and other powerful drugs to sedate her and induce labor, was caused by unforeseen complications.

Gosnell did not testify, and his lawyer called no witnesses in his defense. But McMahon argued that the doctor provided desperate young woman with "a solution to their problems," and he branded prosecutors "elitist" and "racist" for pursuing his client, who is black and whose patients were mostly poor minorities.

"We know why he was targeted," McMahon said.

Prosecutors described Gosnell's employees as nearly as desperate as the patients. Some had little or no medical training, and at least one was a teenager still in high school. One woman needed the work to support her children after her husband's murder.

Stephen Massof, an unlicensed medical school graduate who could not find a residency, told jurors that Gosnell taught him how to snip babies' spines, something he then did at least 100 times at the clinic.

"I felt like a fireman in hell," Massof testified. "I couldn't put out all the fires."

Gosnell still faces federal drug charges. Authorities said that he ranked third in the state for OxyContin prescriptions and that he left blank prescription pads at his office and let staff members make them out to cash-paying patients.

He performed thousands of abortions over a 30-year career. Authorities said the medical practice alone netted him about $1.8 million a year, much of it in cash. Authorities found $250,000 hidden in a bedroom when they searched his house. Gosnell also owned a beach home and several rental properties.

"He created an assembly line with no regard for these women whatsoever," Cameron said. "And he made money doing that."

Planned Parenthood applauded the verdict on Monday, saying in a statement that "The jury has punished Kermit Gosnell for his appalling crimes."

"This verdict will ensure that no woman is victimized by Kermit Gosnell ever again," said Planned Parenthood spokesman Eric Ferrero. "This case has made clear that we must have and enforce laws that protect access to safe and legal abortion, and we must reject misguided laws that would limit women's options and force them to seek treatment from criminals like Kermit Gosnell."

really.. are they that stupid?

this is a clinic with "NO" restrictions placed on it... by liberal standards his butcher shop should be the model of abortion utopia.... but it isn't...


common sense health standards would have prevented this backroom butcher shop from operating...

Delaware Now First State Since Roe With No Surgical Abortions

The Planned Parenthood clinic in Dover has temporarily suspended surgical abortions while the Wilmington affiliate has closed completely for cleaning and re-staffing, according to Planned Parenthood statements to the media and on their website. At least three employees, one thought to be troubled abortionist Eric Schaff, have quit or been fired since dangerous conditions at the facilities were exposed.

Events cascaded quickly for the abortion provider, and now, Planned Parenthood of Delaware is under state investigation

Operation Rescue assisted with ABC Action News investigation that documented the Wilmington clinic’s conditions. The shocking news report proves the unsanitary practices at this Planned Parenthood were no different than those inside Kermit Gosnell’s squalid “House of Horrors” in Philadelphia.

The allegations that shuttered this clinic’s surgical practice include: filthy conditions, use of unsterile medical equipment, over-medicated patients, and failure to wash hands between surgeries. In addition, several former employees and patients are in the process of filing lawsuits against the abortion giant for health code violations and medical malpractice.

The two Planned Parenthood facilities are the last remaining abortion facilities in Delaware after two affiliates of the Atlantic Women’s Medical Services closed in 2011 when news of their association with Gosell surfaced and numerous health and safety violations were discovered.

“Filthy clinics are the status quo in the abortion industry.


Dr. Eric Schaff, a Planned Parenthood abortionist who has a history of disciplinary action. In August, 2005, Schaff was issued a reprimand and ordered to pay $5,000 for falsifying medical records in New York. Since his discipline there, Schaff has moved on to ply is grisly trade in Delaware and Pennsylvania. Schaff is an outspoken advocate of abortions and feels “empowered” by doing them.

Botched abortions so far this year at the Wilmington Planned Parenthood where Schaff works include:

February 8: Records of the 911 call reveals that a patient suffered respiratory distress and had to be bagged to keep her from dying. She required emergency transport to a hospital emergency room. (View Video)

February 16: 911 records indicate that a patient suffered heavy, uncontrolled bleeding requiring emergency transport to a hospital emergency room. (View Video)

March 8: A patient suffered an incomplete abortion that required hospitalization and emergency surgery five days later. Fetal parts were detected that included a recognizable leg and foot.

March 13: A patient, covered in blankets and sheets from head to toe, was transported by ambulance to a local hospital while a pro-life sidewalk counselor was attacked for attempting to document the incident. It is unknown if the patient survived.

if there were four botched abortions in two months.. before this was shut down.... how many does it take to get a place investigated?
