Abortionist Mark Binder, who performed abortions at abortionist Stephen Chase Brigham’s abortion clinics in Colonie and Nanuet, N.Y., was charged by the New York State Board of Professional Medical Conduct with 18 counts of gross negligence, gross incompetence, conduct evidencing moral unfitness, and fraud.
He instructed an ultrasound technician to falsify readings on gestational age so that preborn babies over 24 weeks would appear to be under New York’s legal age limit. He tried to escape prosecution overseas, and was sentenced for Medicaid fraud in October 1999. He pleaded guilty August 9, 1999 to two counts of grand larceny and one count of false filing following a nine-month investigation by the state attorney general’s office. He admitted to double-billing the State for Medicaid services and demanding cash for procedures already covered under Medicaid. For example, some women paid $160 for sonograms and $95 for follow-up exams, both of which were already paid for.
Binder had worked at the American Women’s Services Clinic in the Albany suburb of Colonie, along with abortionist Stephen Chase Brigham. The two abortionists opened the abortion facility in April 1994. Colonie police shut it down in May 1996 when Binder refused to turn over financial records. Binder served several weeks in jail then. The state Department of Health revoked Binder’s license in March of 1997. Four months later, Police seized 17 frozen unborn children from the facility. Binder fled the country and spent the next three years eluding authorities in 10 countries. He was apprehended by Interpol in Hong Kong in April 1999.
