CA Medical Board Revokes Abortionist Nolan Jones’ License

Los Angeles, CA – The California Medical Board has revoked the medical license of abortionist Nolan Jones, effective on April 20, 2009. According to the order, Jones falsified the medical records of two non-abortion patients, and violated his probation on other charges.

“This follows a national trend of abortionists being held accountable to the law,” said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman, who worked to expose Jones’ dangerous practice to the public. “Jones was one of the most incompetent and dishonest abortionists in the country – and that is saying a lot. His license should have been taken years ago.”

Jones has been disciplined at least four times by the California Medical Board for offenses ranging from botched abortions to negligence during childbirth that led to the death of a wanted baby. Community Hospital in San Bernardino terminated his hospital privileges in 1997.

Jones was a predatory abortionist who set up shop in strip malls in seedy areas of Southern California to take advantage of low income and Hispanic women. When he got in trouble or fell behind on bills, he would close up his clinics and reopen in another location under a new name, such as La Rose, The Butterfly Clinic, Women’s Center Medical Group, Clinica Medica Latina Femina, and Clinica Medica Para La Mujer De Hoy, to name a few.

In the latter clinic, Jones worked for illegal abortionist Bertha Bugarin, and later “bought” the clinics from Bugarin after her arrests in LA and San Diego for committing abortions without a medical license. Bugarin is currently serving 3 years in prison on 7 charges in Los Angeles, and is scheduled for sentencing in San Diego on 9 felony counts on Friday, April 3.

Of the six abortion mills that Jones allegedly purchased from Bugarin, all but one location has closed. That location is now being operated by two other abortionists.

Jones had also racked up a staggering amount of financial liability and unpaid bills, declaring bankruptcy in 2003 with approximately 100 creditors and nearly $100,000 in credit card debt. At one point a pro-life supporter observed an eviction notice in the back seat of Jones’ car. Jones appeared to be homeless and sleeping inside his abortion clinics.

“That man’s life was train wreck,” said Newman. “We pray for Jones’ repentance and salvation, but as far as his abortion career goes, it is good riddance.”

Sebelius Confirmation Hearings Set for Tomorrow, Thursday

URGENT! Please Call Your Senator Today!

CLICK HERE TO WATCH HEARINGS LIVE

Washington, DC – Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius will testify tomorrow, March 31, at 10:00 am EDT before the U.S. Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee to examine her nomination to the cabinet post of Secretary of Health and Human Services. This hearing is a courtesy and no vote will be taken on her nomination at that time.

Sebelius will then appear before the U.S. Senate Finance Committee for examination on Thursday, April 2, at 10:00 AM EDT. They will vote on her confirmation. If the vote is not unanimous, her nomination will then go to the full Senate.

“Gov. Sebelius is unfit to serve as Secretary of HHS because she owes her career to support from the radical the abortion lobby. As HHS Secretary, she will have a platform whereby she can influence abortion policy, which could cost thousands of innocent lives,” said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman. “The fact that she entertained late-term abortionist George Tiller and his entire abortion clinic staff at the Governor’s mansion, then tried to cover it up, shows that she lacks the good judgment for such an important post.”

“We strongly urge pro-life supporters to phone their Senators today and voice their opposition to Sebelius’ confirmation to the post of HHS Secretary,” said Newman.

Ultrasound Bill Signed By Gov. Sebelius

Topeka, KS – Gov. Kathleen Sebelius signed a bill into law on Friday that will mandate that women seeking abortions be offered to see an ultrasound image of their babies at least 30 minutes before a scheduled abortion.

Operation Rescue Senior Policy Advisor Cheryl Sullenger testified before a House committee in February in favor of the new legislation. She presented evidence from an Operation Rescue undercover sting investigation that showed Tiller’s staff was intentionally underestimating fetal ages in order to avoid having to comply with the second Kansas physician referral requirement in Kansas law.

Sebelius was under pressure to sign the bill in order to mitigate her extremist support for unrestricted abortion when she appears before the U.S. Senate for confirmation hearings. She has been nominated by President Barrack Obama to serve as Health and Human Services Secretary. Operation Rescue is opposing her confirmation.

“These new restrictions on abortion will do little to solve all of the abuses in the abortion industry, but they will save lives,” said Sullenger. “We know when women are allowed to see images of their pre-born babies, most will not go through with the abortion. We supported this bill because it will save lives and inform women of the humanity of their pre-born children. Without it, children would needlessly die, and it was unacceptable for us to stand idly by and allow that to happen.”
