A 48-year-old woman has been arrested in San Diego County for performing abortions without a medical license. The LA Times reports that Bertha Bugarin has been charged with 10 felony counts, which, if convicted, could bring her a nine year prison sentence. Bugarin's clientele was mostly Hispanic, as she and her Clinica Medica Para la Mujer de Hoy chain of six clinics targeted their advertising towards the Latino community with Spaish-language coupons, advertisements and television commercials.
Even more shocking is the fact hat Bugarin was arrested almost one year ago in Los Angeles and charged with 18 counts of committing abortion without a medical license. Her sister was also charged, as well as one of her abortionists, who had been performing abortions despite having had his medical license revoked for sexually molesting patients.
This raises several very important questions:
1. Pro-lifers in southern California, with Operation Rescue leading the charge, have been raising a ruckus over Bugarin and her chain of clinics since 1999. What took so long for authorities to take action?
2. Where is the outrage from abortion advocates? Bugarin is the epitome of what pro-lifers have been saying for years - that abortion clinics can be extremely dangerous places run by people who will go to great lengths to make money. Why isn't there a chorus of pro-abortion bloggers and organizations trying to distance themselves from her and her shady operations?
3. Bugarin was arrested in Los Angeles in August 2007. How is it possible that she could continue illegally operating her clinic in Chula Vista this long after being arrested and charged in LA?
