In a July 23 letter, New Jersey Right to Life executive director Marie Tasy requested that New Jersey Attorney General Paula Dow investigate Steven Chase Brigham's six New Jersey abortion facility following news of a crackdown on Brigham's four Pennsylvania clinics. In that state, Brigham's business came to an abrupt end after the Pennsylvania Department of Health discovered he had repeatedly employed unlicensed medical caregivers.
Paul Loriquet, a spokesperson with the New Jersey Attorney General's office, said Tasy's letter had been forwarded to the New Jersey State Board of Medical Examiners. The board, he says, was "about to respond" to the Pennsylvania allegations when the Maryland case arose, prompting the attorney general's cease and desist order. The abortionist's latest run-in with the law came one month later, August 25, when Maryland health officials ordered him to cease his frequent practice of initiating abortions in New Jersey, telling clients to drive to Elkton, Maryland, and completing the procedures there.
Brigham is not authorized to perform second or third-trimester abortions in New Jersey; however, neither is he licensed to practice medicine in Maryland. The scheme was discovered after one such procedure, performed on an 18-year-old, resulted in the laceration of her bowel and vagina and required the bleeding patient to be flown to Johns Hopkins hospital in Baltimore. A Hopkins doctor filed a complaint against the abortionist following the incident, which New Jersey's attorney general decried as constituting "gross negligence." LifeSiteNews
