Abuses in abortion industry exposed

The nation is waiting for the verdict in the trial of Philadelphia abortionist Kermit Gosnell. The jury is into the second week of deliberations, having asked the last couple days to rehear key testimony from employees who saw Gosnell "snip" the necks of born-alive infants. The jury's decision could be reached any day now.

Gosnell is not an outlier. Here in Michigan, Right to Life of Michigan is committed to exposing the abuses of the abortion industry in our own state. Just in the last two years eight abortion clinics have been closed in Michigan. The Prolife Omnibus Act that went into effect on March 31, 2013, includes provisions that require proper licensing and inspections of Michigan abortion clinics.

On April 30, Michigan State Senators held a hearing about how a personal relationship with the chairman of the Board of Medicine allowed abortionist Robert Alexander to continue operating despite numerous complaints against him. His Muskegon abortion business was closed in December of 2012 after city officials found filthy conditions throughout his office.

In April, another abortion clinic closed in Dearborn and the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs confirmed that abortionist Theodore Roumell did not have the necessary state controlled substance licenses to operate his three surgical abortion businesses.

The work of Right to Life of Michigan continues. Not only are we exposing the abuse in the abortion industry, but we partner with more than 150 pregnancy help agencies, offering hope and help for mothers and their babies preparing to be born.
