NY Daily News: Choices Women’s Medical Center is moving from its current Long Island City location to a $3 million, state-of-the-art facility in Jamaica on Friday. The abortionist is Choices CEO Merle Hoffman, 65, whose memoir “Intimate Wars” hit bookshelves last month, helped open one of the state’s first licensed clinics with her late husband in 1971 in Flushing. More than 40 years later, the former aspiring concert pianist is opening an 18,000-square-foot outpatient surgery center at 147-32 Jamaica Ave.
“This is basically built to the specifications of a hospital,” said Hoffman, who grew up in Kew Gardens and now lives on the upper East Side. The clinic is expected to serve 40,000 clients and perform roughly 10,000 abortions a year.
Hoffman said she chose Jamaica for the new site because 78% of her clients are from the area. Dr. Steven Inglis, chairman of Jamaica Hospital Medical Center’s Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, said Choices will be “a wonderful addition to Jamaica.” The hospital is partnering with Choices for prenatal care and to perform second-trimester abortions.
