A Florida abortion clinic open seven days a week is causing outrage by offering low income women a coupon granting $50 off abortions on Sundays.
The Daily Mail is reporting that the coupon is being offered by the Orlando Women’s Center which is run by the notorious Dr. James Scott Pendergraft, a physician who lost his license five times in the state of Florida.
Referred to as “Florida’s Dr. Gosnell,” Pendergraft most recently lost his license in April of this year for performing an illegal third-trimester abortion on a woman. He later claimed he didn’t the woman was in her third trimester.
In 2011, a judge issued a judgment against him for $36,737,660.16 in damages after he botched a 20-week abortion that resulted in a baby who survived the procedure with severe injuries.
Pendergraft failed to pay the fine which resulted in his clinic being shut down and all of his equipment seized in June of this year. Even though the conditions inside his clinic have been described as “third-world”, Pendergraft was able to reopen a month later using borrowed equipment and by hiring other physicians to perform the abortions.
His latest scheme, the $50 discount coupon, only applies to abortions performed on Sundays.
Rachel Burgin, executive director of Florida Right to Life (FRL), said she’s not certain when the promotion began, but is certain who the clinic is targeting – the poor and the vulnerable.
“When an abortion clinic can be so bold to offer coupons to vulnerable women, something is terribly wrong!” Burgin writes on the group’s website. “Unfortunately, Pendergraft is not alone. He also operates in five abortion centers throughout Florida!”
FRL is encouraging concerned citizens to help them put a stop to Pendergraft’s seedy operation by calling for better abortion clinic regulation in the state of Florida.
