Safe and Legal???
Nov 19th, 2009 by David Anderson
An abortionist killed two women by accident and is now involved in a lawsuit where a woman was not allowed to change her mind correction she was deceived into thinking it was another procedure and they covered her mouth and held her down when she objected to an abortion. I guess safe and legal means safe for the abortionist to ply his illicit trade legally. What it does for women is another question.
Bruce filed a suit against Hodari and his assistant, “Victor” on June 17 over an incident that took place at Hodari’s Flint abortion center in April 2008.
Bruce alleges that she went to Hodari’s clinic seeking an abortion, but, before the abortion began, she changed her mind, decided against it and told Hodari. However, Hodari and his assistant forcibly restrained Bruce and held her down, according to her suit.
Bruce screamed “Stop, stop, I don’t want this,” but her mouth was covered to muffle her pleas while Hodari forced her to have the abortion.
The lawsuit notes six counts against Hodari including lack of informed consent/medical malpractice, battery, fraud, misrepresentation, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and ethnic/gender intimidation.
Also, Bruce believes that Hodari forced the abortion on her because she is black, even though Michigan law forbids intimidation based on gender or ethnicity.
“This man should be in jail,” Newman said. “To avoid having to pay for his crimes, it looks like Hodari is trying to liquidate his assets, take the money, and run.”
Newman also notes that this is not the first time Hodari has been accused of forcing a woman to have an abortion.
In February, former Hodari patient Jennifer McCoy told Operation Rescue of her 1988 abortion at age 16.
McCoy never intended to get an abortion and was lured to Hodari’s clinic under the false pretenses that she would be receiving her first obstetrical examination. Instead, Hodari forced an abortion on her, she told the pro-life group. He then returned her to her 40-year old high school teacher who had fathered the baby in a relationship that qualified as statutory rape.
McCoy attempted unsuccessfully to have Hodari criminally charged.
Newman added: “Over a twenty year period, we can only imagine how many times Hodari has done this to women. If we know of two, you can bet there were more that we don’t know about. It is one depraved man that could do that to women.”
Hodari has also killed women in failed abortions and, in June, Hodari was fined $10,000 by a state board in connection with a woman’s botched abortion death.
One of Hodari’s staff did an abortion on Regina Johnson who, afterwards, suffered respiratory and cardiac arrest.
