As Empire Crumbles, New Jersey Abortionist Sued Over Teen’s Suicide

VOORHEES, New Jersey, October 5, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Notorious abortionist Steven Chase Brigham, whose abortion business is under investigation in several states, is now facing a lawsuit from an aggrieved family that claims their youngest daughter committed suicide after having an abortion by Brigham nearly a decade ago.

According to Operation Rescue, George Zallie Sr. stated that neither Brigham nor his staff informed his daughter, Stacy, of facts about abortion that could have helped her make a better decision about her pregnancy. Zallie said their daughter was deprived of the knowledge that the “fetus” was “a complete, separate living human being” and “a second family member.”

After her July 2001 abortion by Brigham, Zallie’s 19-year-old daughter attempted to commit suicide four times, before finally succeeding in taking her own life in October 2002.

“We lost our youngest child and our first grandchild,” Zallie told reporters.

New Jersey pro-life attorney Harold Cassidy is representing Zallie’s case.

This suit only adds to Brigham’s legal woes. The abortionist’s New Jersey medical license was suspended in September, 2010, after it was discovered that he was illegally starting late-term abortions in New Jersey, then transporting the women across state lines to an Eklton, Maryland clinic for the completion of the abortions. Brigham is not licensed to perform abortions in Maryland.

A late-term patient suffered serious complications from a perforated uterus and injured bowel last in August, which led to the illegal abortion operation being exposed. Brigham’s two other associates, Nicola Riley and George Shepard, Jr., have also had their Maryland medical licenses suspended.

Operation Rescue has filed a complaint with the Elkton State Attorney asking for criminal charges, and is also calling for criminal charges in New Jersey where open investigations continue.
