State bars abortions at 2 clinics in Orlando

Dr. James Pendergraft's license is suspended on allegations he did illegal 3rd-trimester procedures.

The state has ordered two Orlando clinics to stop doing abortions indefinitely and suspended the medical license of their owner, Dr. James Pendergraft, on grounds that he illegally performed third-trimester abortions.The restrictions began last week at one Orlando location, and by Wednesday, all five of Pendergraft's offices statewide had been ordered to stop providing abortions.

Patte Smith of Sanctuary Ministries joined me this morning with details of this case.

*We also learned that 10,000 abortions per year are performed in Orlando.

*The 3rd trimester abortion in this case cost $12,000 that's cash up front.
