Abortion Staff Ignores Baby Born Alive

Woman pleads for help after
delivering son in clinic restroom
Pendergraft, the owner of the Ocala Women's Center and four other Florida clinics which provide abortion services, was convicted in Ocala, Florida February 2001 of attempted extortion, conspiracy and mail fraud, following a month-long federal trial.

Pendergraft, the owner of the Ocala Women's Center and four other Florida clinics which provide abortion services, was convicted in Ocala, Florida February 2001 of attempted extortion, conspiracy and mail fraud, following a month-long federal trial.

A woman who was scheduled to have her 22-week-along pregnancy ended at a Florida abortion clinic instead delivered the baby alive in a restroom and says her pleading for help from medical staff went unheeded, even when an employee saw that the tiny boy was moving. The woman chose the EPOC Clinic of the Orlando Women's Center in Orlando, Fla. James S. Pendergraft, M.D., is the founder of the Orlando Women's Center and is known in pro-life communities as the "Tiller of Florida" because he performs late-term abortions. George Tiller, a well-known late-term abortion doctor in Witchita, Kan., is referred by some activists as "Tiller the Killer." Pendergraft was convicted of extortion in February 2001 and he served seven months behind bars. The conviction later was overturned, but last year, as part of the same legal battle, Pendergraft conceded in federal court that he impeded justice by supporting a business associate he knew was lying.
