Clinic Advertises Abortions at 28 Weeks

Dr. James Pendergraft IV has a sign outside his clinic advertising late-term abortions. The sign reads:

“Women’s Gynecological Services Terminations from 3 to 28 weeks.”

Wanting to hide the fact that third trimester abortions were taking place in the facility, some pro-choice activists wanted him to remove the sign. He refused:

“Change my mind? No. It’s a free country… It doesn’t matter if there’s a sign out there or not. People know what I do.….”.

Later in the article, he states:

“If I weren’t here, these women wouldn’t have this choice. A lot of doctors and hospitals won’t deal with abortions.”

Dr. Pendergraft performs abortions at four different clinics.
