In an early-morning hearing Wednesday, February 4, 2009 before Judge Richards of
the 46th District Court in Southfield Michigan, the Womancare Corporation,
representing 5 different abortion clinics in the state of Michigan, was given a
6 month probationary period. Womancare's chief executive officer, Alberto
Hodari, pled "no contest" to 12 counts of violating the Michigan State statutes
the regulate the proper filing and disposal of patient records. These charges
were filed by the Oakland County prosecutor's office after members of Citizens
for a Pro-life Society (www.prolifesociety.com) conducted searches of the trash
dumpsters of the Hodari abortion clinics. They discovered bio-hazard waste, the
remains of aborted babies and hundreds of patient records, in the trash
dumpster, in particular, behind Hodari's Lathrup Village abortion facility on
Southfield Road.
The 6 month probationary period effectively delays a formal sentence of Hodari
and the Womancare Corporation. Hodari will need to appear back in court at the
end of the 6 month period. If there are no further violations of law in the 6
month period there will be no further penalty in the case. However, if Hodari
and the Womancare corporation do violate the law in the 6 month period Hodari is
subject to a possible 90 day jail term plus a $100 dollar fine per each 12
counts of violating the Michigan State Statutes.
The 12 counts represent 12 female patients of the Womancare Lathrup Village
abortion facility whose records were discovered in the trash dumpster (out of
the many hundreds that were found by members of Citizens for a Pro-life
Society).
