Dangerous Abortion Biz Owner Could be Released From California Prison | LifeNews.com: Budget cuts in the state of California could allow the release of Bertha Bugarin who ran several seedy abortion clinics in Southern California that once constituted the second largest abortion business in the state. Her abortion centers, which targeted Hispanic women, were squalid and dangerous and ultimately responsible for two decades of fraud, rape, botched abortions, and patient deaths.
In February 2009, Bugarin was sentenced to three years and four months in prison on charges of pretending to be a physician and doing abortions without a medical license. She pleaded no contest to seven felony counts in Los Angeles Superior Court after facing charges that she put more than a dozen patients at risk by doing abortions on them or giving them the dangerous RU 486 abortion drug without having medical training.
Had she been found guilty and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law on all charges, Bugarin could have faced 15 years in prison but she sobbed uncontrollably and begged for leniency and mercy and received a slightly lesser sentence than the five years prosecutors sought. Now, she may be free entirely.
