But he far from the only one.
Below are the names of notorious abortionists who made the news in recent memory.
I chose them for:
- Their illegal behaviour;
- Their unsanitary practices;
- Their unethical medical conduct.
- Their willingness to do really late late-term abortions.
It took me about thirty mintues to search LifeSiteNews and come up with these names. These are the ones we know about. There are undoubtedly more out there.
The question is: will abortion advocates weed them out of their industry?

6. Leroy Carhart
He is probably best remembered for having sued the government in Carhart vs. Gonzalez to oppose the partial birth abortion ban.In one hearing he described how he dismembered a fetus he knew to be alive. He has been implicated in the deaths of Christin Gilbert, and more recently that of Jennifer Morbelli, a young mother who died from a 33-week abortion. His Germantown, Maryland abortion clinic is being investigated for illegal dumping of biomedical waste. In 2009, affidavits filed by former employees of his former clinic in Bellevue, Nebraska, contain a number of accusations including: use of untrained staff, post-viability abortions,stolen drugs, blood-stained instruments, and Carhart's chemical impairment while on duty.

7. James Pendergraft
Has a very extensive rap sheet. He is best known for a $36.7 million judgement against him after botching an abortion that left a baby with serious disabilities. His Florida license has been suspended four times. He ran a late-term abortion business that advertized on the internet. The business amounted to him injecting an unborn baby with a deadly chemical and then sending the woman away to deliver the baby in a hospital. It was shut down in 2012. In 2005, Pendergraft's Orlando clinic did not help Angele her son, Baby Rowan, who was born live after a late-term abortion. In a complaint filed to Florida authorities, it was alleged that there was blood on the walls and the floor.

An associate of James Pendergaft. During a 2011 lawsuit which implicated himself and Prendergaft, he admitted that during abortions, babies were born in the toilet and left to wriggle until they died. He was cited for having directed untrained staff to perform medical duties during an abortion. The infant survived but was profoundly disabled. In 2011 he pleaded no contest to the charge of having slapped a patient.

9. Joseph Booker
In 1999, he served in prison for tax evasion. Later that year, a local resident purchased a unit from him that contained 36 bags of fetal remains. In 2012, a judged ordered him to pay $600 000 in damages to a former client who developed sepsis and fell into a coma. He did not even bother to show up at the trial. He sued the clinic in Jackson, Mississippi that employed him for wrongful dismissal and racial discrimination.
10. Alberto Hodari
Retired in 2013. He is linked to four deaths including that of Regina Johnson, for which he was fined a paltry $10 000. Real Choice lists a number of allegations against him, and he has been named in over 50 lawsuits. His clinics were widely known to be unsanitary. In 2008, prolife activist Monica Miller several bodies aborted babies in the dumpster behind his clinic in Lathrup Village, Michigan. In 2010 he admitted to restraining a woman who asked him to stop an abortion.
