On October 13, it was reported
that long-time Michigan abortionist Michael Roth is under
investigation for human tissue and medical equipment found in his
vehicle in West Bloomfield.
Right to Life of Michigan applauds authorities for investigating any potential violations. The abortion industry's long history of contempt for women's health, standards of care and state regulations shows that they cannot be trusted to regulate themselves.
Roth has a long history of violations, including two previous at-home abortions he performed in 1998 and 1999.
Right to Life of Michigan released a report in 2012, Abortion Abuses and State Regulatory Agency Failure, featuring several of Roth's violations. In addition to his at-home abortions, Roth was disciplined in 2002 for drug-related violations, including prescribing drugs without a license. He was disciplined in 2004 for violating patient consent laws and was accused of falsifying medical records by a former employee.
Right to Life of Michigan Legislative Director Ed Rivet said, "Abortionists frequently violate our laws with extreme disregard for women's health and safety. Roth should have his license revoked, just like Dr. Robert Alexander who ran a house of horrors abortion clinic in Muskegon until 2014."
Roth's most recent abortion business, the Novi Laser and Aesthetic Center, was closed in 2014.
Since passage of the Michigan Prolife Omnibus Act in 2012, which significantly strengthened the oversight of the abortion industry, 16 abortion businesses in the state have closed, many due to substandard practices.
Right to Life of Michigan President Barbara Listing said, "We're glad we've been able to provide more tools for authorities to deal with health and safety violations in the abortion industry, and we'll continue to provide them with even more. If abortionists and their businesses can't abide by laws and regulations that others follow, they shouldn't be allowed practice on vulnerable women."
