LifeSiteNews reports that Florida abortionist Scott Pendergraft will keep his medical license after the Florida Board of Medicine decided not to take disciplinary action against him:
Pendergraft, who spent seven months in prison for extortion before his conviction was overturned through lack of evidence, was facing complaints to the Florida Department of Health for criminal and inhuman treatment of a woman and her baby when she gave birth to a living child during an abortion at one of his clinics.Rowan's body is pictured above in a photograph published by LifeSiteNews.com (see Abortion Clinic Workers Refuse To Help Mother Screaming to Save Live Child)The complaints were filed in April 2005, on behalf of the mother, Angele. After taking drugs to induce labour, Angele was left alone during the delivery of her 23-week son, who was born alive.
Previously we reported:
Angele, a single mother in her thirties with two children, thought that abortion was the answer to her circumstances. At almost 23 weeks gestation, she entered the EPOC Clinic in Orlando, Florida. Little did she realize that the next day she would give birth to a live, perfectly healthy boy whom she named Rowan. Cradling Rowan's moving body, her screams for help were ignored by abortion clinic workers while her son took his last breath.Mathew D. Staver, President and General Counsel of Liberty Counsel, which represents Angele, previously told LifeSiteNews.com, "Angele's baby Rowan's birth and death unmasked the tragic abortion and infanticide that occurs every day in America. Most victims are nameless and we never hear about them. We need to replace the abortion rhetoric with a culture of life."
