-- From "Orlando abortion clinic to open seven days a week" by Caroline Rowland, Reporter, Central Florida News TV-13 7/19/13
The Orlando Women’s Center has been shut down since last month after all of its equipment was seized as a part of a lawsuit.
The clinic was able to reopen without the $30,000 worth of equipment taken because of a debt related to the lawsuit.
Dr. Pendedgraft, who has been accused of botched abortions, has lost his license five times. He lost it most recently for performing an illegal third-trimester abortion, but he insists the woman was only late in her second trimester.
Dr. Pendegraft said he has six licensed doctors on staff performing abortions since he cannot. He said he’s working on getting the equipment back, as well as his license.

From "Authorities raid Orlando abortion clinic" posted at WFTV-TV9 (Orlando) 6/13/13
Dr. James Pendergraft said Thursday's raid was tied to a 2001 lawsuit where a patient, mid-abortion, left the facility and later gave birth to a child with cerebral palsy.
WFTV found out that Pendergraft was found guilty of medical malpractice and his license had been suspended.
That case went to court and a $38 million judgment was decided in 2011.
But the clinic has only paid $100,000 of that settlement. Pendergraft said the raid is the result of that.
The clinic has been in the news before. It's controversial because it's one of the only clinics in the area that offers late-term abortions and has offered coupons for abortion discounts in the past.

From "Orlando, Florida House of Horrors Abortion Clinic Reopens After Police Raid" by Steven Ertelt, LifeNews.com 7/22/13
In 2011, Pendergraft was hit with a whopping civil medical malpractice judgment of $36,737,660.16 in compensatory and punitive damages in a case involving a botched 20 week abortion that resulted in the live birth of a child physically damaged by Pendergraft’s incompetent abortion process amid what was described as “third world conditions” with virtually no counseling. He has refused to pay the judgment.
A clinic receptionist told callers at the time that the Orlando Women’s Center is “closed for maintenance” and are unsure whether the clinic will reopen.
This is the fifth time that Pendergraft’s medical license has been suspended by the Florida Board of Medicine. He continues to operate five abortion clinics in Florida, primarily in the Orlando area.

From "Abortions 24/7 at clinic owned by man who has had his license suspended five times by Florida Board of Medicine" by Dave Andrusko, National Right to Life - News Today 8/9/13
. . . the “procedure” takes place for babies from “3 to 14 weeks.” That is pushing the outer envelope of when this is safe (for the mother) big time. Most abortion clinics draw the line at 9 weeks.
And speed: “Patients are able to be in and out of our office on Abortion Pill Clinic days within 2 to 3 hours. Most other facilities require patients to stay for as much as 4 to 8 hours.”
And because their abortionists are local (“and do not have to travel from out of town”), patients can be seen “24 hours a day, seven days a week.”
