In a column on shady abortion practices in Miami, Jill Stanek underscores that making abortion legal hasn't made it safer.
Abortionists or doctors with shady pasts are regularly defended by the pro-abort crowd. The rationale: if you take away this abortionist's license, that will mean less access to abortion. Never mind if they puncture uteruses. Or practice abortion without a license (not unheard of!).
Their Miramar [abortion] mill was shut down last year after police caught three of their employees committing abortions without licenses.
They were janitor Adieren Rojas, abortionist Robelto Osborne and University of Miami medical student Kieron Nisbet.
Osborne lost his license in 2004 for puncturing a mother's uterus during an abortion, not treating it, and failing to return her calls complaining of extreme pain and bleeding. She required the removal of retained fetal parts and a hysterectomy. Records also show Osborne botched an abortion in 1996 by damaging the small intestine of an 18-year-old.
Nisbet functioned in the mill as an anesthesiologist. With a warrant out for his arrest, Nisbet continued anesthetizing as well as aborting at nearby Best Care Women's Center in Miami. When police closed in, he fled the country and is believed to now be hiding in his native Trinidad.
This is what one liberal blogger is said to have posted:
This] made me think how successful the Christian right-dominated Republican Party has already been in dismantling legitimate abortion
While there's been progress, but let's face it, with more than a million abortions in the US, it hasn't been "dismantled". Yet.
with the predictable result that less regulated and less legitimate operations will inevitably take their place.
What??? It's the pro-lifers who FIGHT FOR the regulations, and the pro-aborts who oppose regulations tooth-and-nail.
How is a "less legitamite" operation "less regulated" than a "legitamite" operation? It's regulated, it's just that the law is ignored.
That's the nature of the business. Feticide does not always attract the most moral characters.
