Abortion Provider: Ralph Robinson

Abortionist Ralph Robinson grossly botched a number of abortions, including an April 1992 incident at the Summit Medical Center abortion clinic when he suctioned Stacey Wade’s right ureter right out of her body.

On March 2, 1991, Robinson performed an abortion on Rhonda L. Bradford the Chattanooga Women’s Clinic abortion mill. He appeared rushed and began the abortion immediately upon entering the room, giving Bradford no time to ask any questions. She screamed in pain and was rushed to Erlanger Hospital for emergency surgery to repair potentially fatal damage, to include a ruptured uterus, lacerated intestines, and massive bleeding. Surgeons removed the scalped head of a preborn baby from her abdominal cavity, and she was hospitalized for a week. The abortion mill’s records were falsified to show that Bradford was in “good condition after the recovery” when in fact her life was in danger. Robinson did not maintain privileges at any hospital in the county, and did not contact the doctor treating Rhonda’s complications to provide information or assistance. Robinson was found judgment-proof due to his lack of malpractice insurance and the transfer of any substantial assets out of his name.

Missouri Medical Board records indicate that Robinson was licensed with restrictions in 1988. The Ohio Medical Board suspended his license in 1989, and the Kentucky Medical Board placed restrictions on his license in 1988. The Kentucky Medical Board denied his request to terminate his probation on August 14, 1990, following a November 9, 1987 complaint. He had a restriction on prescribing Schedule II or Schedule III drugs. Washington, DC disciplined him in 1990 for filing a document he knew or should have known was false or misleading. He voluntarily surrendered his California medical license in 1991 after charges were brought against him for frequently prescribing, dispensing, or administering controlled substances for undiagnosed pain, for prolonged periods of time and in appropriate combinations. He was disciplined in 1991 in Virginia due to disciplinary actions in other states.
