Another Abortion Center in Trouble

State inspectors have cited an Allentown abortion facility for unsafe practices.  Allentown Medical Services has been found guilty of using unsterilized instruments, stocking drugs past their expiration dates, and splattering blood on the walls and on the floor of a freezer.  Steven Brigham, who has a history of health and safety violations, previously owned the abortion center.  But the reckless disregard for patient safety continued under the new ownership.  For more on this story, please visit http://www.mcall.com/news/local/mc-allentown-abortion-brigham-20110709,0,5629414,full.story .
