DEACON FOR LIFE

Were there to be no support in the whole history of ethical and moral thought, were there no acknowledged confirmation from medical science, were the history of legal opinion to the contrary, we would still have to conclude on the basis of God's Holy Word that the unborn child is a person in the sight of God. He is protected by the sanctity of life graciously given to each individual by the Creator, Who alone places His image upon man and grants them any right to life which they have.

Another Abortionist Bites the Dust

Former felon and abortionist Allen Palmer retires from butchering babies and women

BRIDGETON, Mo., Feb. 17, 2011 /Christian Newswire/ -- Small Victories Ministries is pleased to announce the demise of another abortionist and butcher of babies and women. It appears former felon and abortionist Allen Palmer Jr. is closing his last known cutlery practice, Women's Care Gynecology, located in Bridgeton, Missouri. In speaking with his office manager she confirmed they are no longer doing abortions and closing their doors at the end of the month.

Mr. Palmer has been the subject of many lawsuits of medical malpractice, gross negligence and medical battery just to name a few at the Hope Clinic for Women, in Granite City, Illinois. It stands as the Midwest largest late-term abortion provider where just this past summer, Allen Palmer Jr. was terminated due to the surmounting lawsuits filed against him and Hope Clinic. It appears the final straw that broke this abortionist trail of destruction was the tsunami of lawsuits recently filed against Allen Palmer and several other hospital employees at an St. Louis area hospital where Allen Palmer Jr. has medical privileges. The plaintiff allegedly suffered complications after a surgical procedure.

Palmer has been no stranger to controversy or problems at this abortion facility and, in June 2008, Antoinette Blanton filed a $50,000 suit against Hope Clinic saying the failed March 2006 abortion caused her to be sterile. According to the lawsuit, Palmer failed to remove the entire late-term unborn child during the abortion procedure at Hope Clinic. A substantial amount of time passed, and she was finally rushed to a Metro- East hospital where life sustaining measures were performed in order to save her life. She underwent a complete hysterectomy and many hours of blood transfusions.

In April, 2008, Hope Clinic became the subject of a lawsuit from a woman who accused it of doing an abortion on her without her consent. Small Victories Ministry helped facilitate this lawsuit on behalf of Brandy Hildreth of Granite City. She sued for having a different abortion practitioner do the abortion. She was treated by Palmer but Chicago-area abortion practitioner Lisa Memmel eventually did the abortion without her knowledge. This lawsuit is still being litigated in the courts.

Palmer was also the subject of controversy in January 2010 when a New Year's baby was found dead and the mother was rushed to a St. Louis area hospital after her late- term abortion was botched.
