Brigham's Revocation Puts 7 Dangerous New Jersey Abortion Facilities In Limbo
October 27, 2014

Voorhees, NJ - Since the New Jersey State Board of Medical Examiners voted to revoke
Steven Chase Brigham's last remaining medical license on October 8,
2014, the fate of his seven New Jersey abortion facilities remains
uncertain.
Suspicious
activity was noted at one of his American Women's Services facility in
Phillipsburg the day following news of Brigham's license revocation.
That facility continued operations with locked doors, drawn shutters,
and office lights out, as if the staff did not want anyone to know it
was open. Women who arrived for appointments at the clinic were forced
wait in a dirty, trash-strewn entryway until staff members could
quickly usher the inside, only to lock the door again behind them.
In
New Jersey, only licensed providers are allowed to operate medical
facilities. Now that Brigham has no valid medical license, he should
have 90 days to divest himself of the abortion business or shut them
down.
"It
seems obvious that Brigham's employees were acting as if they were
doing something improper and trying to hide it," said Operation Rescue
President Troy Newman. "This kind of deceptive behavior and devious
practices has characterized Brigham's entire abortion career. It is
worrisome that women continue to be subjected to risk at his chain of
seventeen abortion facilities that remain open in at least four states.
They should all be shut down immediately."
