San Diego abortionist Suresh Gandotra fled the country after the District Attorney filed manslaughter charges against him following the death of one of his patients.

Gandotra had no hospital admitting privileges at any facility. In fact, he did not even know where a hospital was. After he botched an abortion on a patient, Gandotra failed to immediately call an ambulance. In fact, according to the Medical Board’s court filing, the abortionist asked for directions to the hospital by car, and planned on sending the patient in a car to the hospital despite her deteriorating condition.

He was told to summon an ambulance immediately. He tried to request a private ambulance, but failed so he finally called 911. Due to the abortionist’s delays, Paramedics didn’t arrive until over an hour later, at which time, they found the woman bleeding, in cardiac arrest and with no pulse. The woman bled to death.

Gandotra remains at large.

Los Angeles abortionist Dr. Ivan Namihas is a rapist and sexual predator who operated an abortion clinic and molested or raped the women he treated. He was found guilty by the medical board for sexual abuse, sexual misconduct, gross negligence, and incompetence.

Some of the charges dated back from 1969. Over 100 women claim to have been sexually assaulted or harassed by him. He was formally charged with four counts of rape, 45 incidents of sexual abuse, mail fraud (he billed patients for treatments that were medically unnecessary)and gross negligence.

According to testimonies by women, he raped some with foreign objects, forced others to perform oral sex on him, had sex with a nurse while his patient was in labor, made crude comments of a sexual nature to patients while examining them, solicited dates from patients and patient’s friends even while he was performing abortions, and gave false diagnoses to patients. According to those who worked with him, he gave these false diagnoses for financial reasons, hoping to treat women for conditions they did not have in order to collect money from them and their insurance companies.

One former employee said that Namihas “seemed to get some perverse pleasure” from inflicting pain on women.

Assistant US attorney Jonathan S. Shapiro said, “The term abuse of a position of trust, seems to have been coined for Dr. Ivan C. Namihas, MD. Arrogant, cruel, and greedy, he carried out a particular form of fraud against his victims.”

Abortionist Victor Brown has had a long and very questionable medical career. He has had 25 malpractice suits filed against him in Orleans Civil District Court alone, including cases involving the death of two minors.

The Louisiana State Board of Medical Examiners has charged Brown with medical incompetency, recurring medical practice failing to satisfy prevailing and usually accepted standards, and prescribing controlled substances without legitimate medical justification. For this last offense, the abortionist was fined $1,000 and given a lifetime prohibition on Schedule II drugs.

One murder of an abortion provider that is not included in the statistics of anti-abortion violence is that of Dr. Lynn D. Weller of Kansas City. Weller was shot by gunmen hired by rival abortionist William Carlos.

Carlos was angry that Weller was having an affair with his ex-wife.

Abortionist Frederick Cohn performed a suction abortion on a 28-week, 2.2 pound unborn baby whom he misdiagnosed as being only 6 to 8 weeks along. The baby was later delivered dead. (Third trimester abortions are legal in some states, and there are loopholes in the law that allow them in other states. But there is paperwork that must be filled out that was not done in this case. Also, a suction abortion would be the wrong method of abortion for a fetus this big.)

His license to practice obstetrics or perform abortions in the State of New Mexico was suspended, and he was placed on 10 years’ probation. He was originally charged with misdiagnosing the preborn child’s age, admitting a patient without giving information with regard to her condition, and lying to the Office of Medical Investigations.

In addition:

He was indicted in August 2001, along with a colleague, Yakov Gregorevich Drabovsky on 18 counts of prescribing painkillers without a legitimate medical purpose. The two reportedly operated a pain clinic in Paintsville.

Cohn, 71 at the time, reached a plea bargain with federal prosecutors that will require him to cooperate in investigations of other health care professionals, said U.S. Attorney Gregory Van Tatenhove.

Van Tatenhove said. “Dr. Cohn’s conduct is the most egregious kind that we’ve seen out there in taking advantage of those who end up becoming enslaved to these prescription drugs.”

Lexington Herald Leader reported in their January 31,2003 article entitled,” Questionable practices; prospect of docs dealing drugs pressures medical-licensing board” that Cohn said in a 2001 interview that he and an associate signed up more than 9,000 patients in less than a year. Overall, authorities said, the pair collected nearly $1 million and prescribed more than 5 million doses of controlled substances before being arrested.

The medical board said in the order said that their files showed “no evidence of even a basic attempt to practice medicine,” suspending Cohn’s license.

On October 2002, the New York Board for Professional Misconduct revoked abortionist Paul Mayer’s medical license for gross negligence in two cases, including the abortion of a viable 29-week preborn baby. Mayer continued to practice medicine as he appealed the revocation.

In February 2002, an Orange County grand jury indicted the abortionist on charges of felony unauthorized practice of medicine, felony insurance fraud, and petty larceny. However, six months later, the indictment was thrown out because Mayer’s license was in effect while he appealed the revocation.

In April 2003, the New York State Court of Appeals permanently revoked Mayer’s medical license and, in November 2003, the Appellate Division of the New York State Supreme Court ruled that the lower court had erred in dismissing the original indictment, and reinstated it.

The charges were eventually dismissed, and Mayer never faced any consequence for aborting a 29 week child. (see pictures of a 28 week old unborn baby below)

Abortionist Sidney C. Laughlin committed illegal third-trimester abortions in the bedroom of his home, which was across the street from an elementary school, and investigators discovered the bodies of some of his victims in his garbage. He sterilized his surgical instruments in his dishwasher. Laughlin was also investigated for drug diversion and Medicaid fraud.

(Note: Third trimester abortions are legal in some states, and loopholes in the law allow them in other states.)
Police found a dismembered 16-week preborn child in the abortionist’s household trash. An autopsy noted that the right and left arm were dismembered at the shoulder, found organs, legs and feet, and a macerated and opened head containing fragments of brain tissue. The medical examiner also noted other embryonic tissues, blood-stained pads, rubber gloves, and an empty syringe in bags collected by the police. A nurse who claimed to have assisted in several abortions in his home said Laughlin sterilized abortion instruments in his dishwasher. The nurse said she quit assisting in these abortions after she observed Laughlin aborting a 28-week old fetus, 4 weeks past the 24-week legal limit. She also said Laughlin owed her $3,000 in back wages. Equipment found in Laughlin’s home included a suction machine, medications, and an exam table. A former employee also allegedly said she is now embarrassed to have worked for Laughlin, and that “He laughed about dismembering babies.” Laughlin denied disposing of the preborn child found in his household trash, saying “I’ve always disposed of them through a medical [waste company].” Laughlin also denied that it would be improper or illegal to perform abortions in his house, because a law restricting second-trimester abortions to hospitals had been found unconstitutional by the state attorney general in 1984, so no law could prevent abortions from being committed in a home.

Bayard Britton performed an abortion on 21 year old Maureen Lynne Tyke at the Aware Women’s Clinic on May 27, 1983. He botched the abortion, and Maureen died five days later after a hysterectomy at a nearby hospital proved unable to save her life.

The autopsy found that Maureen had “florid myocarditis, probably of viral etiology [a serious viral infection of the heart].” The medical examiner added, “The intensity of this myocarditis should indicate that the young woman was very ill and there should have been some signs or symptoms of serious illness at the time she was being prepared for the abortion.”

However, as the autopsy had noted, nobody at the clinic had noticed that Maureen was very ill and in no condition for elective surgery.

Britton became the victim of an anti-abortionist who shot him in 1994. While his death was tragic, it is also tragic that he has been made a hero by the pro-choice community, without any regard for the 21 year old woman he killed.

On December 19, 1995, abortionist Luis Marti performed an abortion on 21-year-old Carolina Gutierrez, and repeatedly punctured her uterus. She left the abortion mill and soon developed a severe infection. Her repeated calls to the abortion clinic requesting the doctor to phone her were ignored.

Three days later she was rushed to the intensive care unit at Jackson Memorial Hospital where she was placed on a respirator and later had her hands and feet amputated.

On February 5, 1996, Carolina died as infection ravaged her body. She is survived by her husband, Jose Linarte, and two children, Alba 5, and Darwin 2.

Abortionist Marti fled town and the Maber Center abortion clinic was closed for several weeks. The local media in Miami did a remarkable job covering this tragic story, but there was not a single word of concern or condolence from NOW, NARAL, Planned Parenthood or any other pro-abortion group.
