"According to the website, Pendergraft boasts that he runs an abortion clinic using “intracardiac injection of medication into the fetal heart” prior to the induction of labor at a “private facility in the Washington, D.C. area.” He carefully guards the facility location and the abortionist with whom he works, saying it is to protect the patients and clinic staff.

"However, it is more likely that Pendergraft is so secretive about his operation because he holds no active license anywhere, making the entire enterprise legally suspect. His Florida medical license was suspended for the fourth time in September, 2010.

"Pendergraft has a long history of Board disciplinary action and lawsuits that have placed him in a desperate financial situation. Last year, he was slapped with a stunning $37.7 million judgment for injuries he inflicted on a pre-born baby during a failed abortion ten years ago. Then, in April, 2012, the State of Florida Department of Health filed notice against Pendergraft, demanding that he pay a total of $122,303.21 for fees, fines, and costs incurred by the state during its disciplinary actions against him.

"His bi-state late-term abortion scheme allows him to earn maximum profit from minimum effort."

Undercover Sting Exposes Illicit Late-Term Abortion Clinic in Maryland

"Pendergraft is working with Harold O. Alexander at Integrated OB/GYN Services, located at 7610 Pennsylvania Avenue, #305, in Forestville, Maryland. Pendergraft’s representative at Integrated OB/GYN Services in Forestville is a woman named Kay, who handles the logistics of making arrangements for Pendergraft’s late-term patients.

"Alexander is an abortionist currently facing medical board action in Maryland that resulted, in part, from complaints filed by Operation Rescue.

"Alexander has been charged with violations of the Maryland Medical Practice Act, listing a number of shocking allegations that could cost him his medical license, including “sexual boundary” violations, botched abortions, shoddy or non-existent record keeping, and the illegal prescribing of large amounts of Viagra and other drugs to himself and non-patients. He also faces a charge that he illegally shredded a medical record of a late-term abortion "
 
This is what legal abortion looks like. This is what they do.

It is quite likely that abortions were safer when the were completely illegal. There were real penalties for performing an abortion procedure and those who did had to be more careful and they didn't perform late term abortions at all. The danger was just too great. Now that it's legal, they can be careless.
 
Pendergraft went to jail for a while some years ago, I don't remember the charge, and was supposed to pay out a whopping 37 mill to some woman because he botched her abortion and left her with a disabled kid.....

His conviction was ultimately overturned. I don't know if he had to pay out or not.
