DOH Closes Steven Brigham N.E. Phila. Abortion Chamber


From the Pro-Life Coalition of Pennsylvania

On Monday evening, November 25, 2013, the Pa. Department of Health (DOH) issued an order that directed the "Integrity Family Health" abortion chamber at 9622 Bustleton Avenue in Northeast Philadelphia to close by November 29, 2013. Because of this action, our scheduled public witness, from 11am-12 noon on Wednesday, November 27, 2013, will not occur.

Our President, Michael J. McMonagle,issued the following response to this Order. "We thank Gov. Corbett for correcting his Dept. of Health's mistake of granting a license to a new abortion facility in Pa. associated with Steven Brigham, who has an equally sordid record as Kermit Gosnell. We particularly thank Rep. Matt Baker, the Chairman of the Pa. House Health Committee, for his leadership to achieve this closure."

Rep. Matt Baker, who is the Chairman of the Pa. House Health Committee, provided excellent leadership to
achieve this closure. In my conversation with Matt today, in which I expressed our gratitude for this leadership, Matt stated that Gov. Corbett, once he became aware of his DOH's action of granting a license to a new Brigham-affiliated abortion chamber, acted in a strongly pro-life manner by directing his DOH to effect the closure of this abortion chamber. Matt also indicated his willingness to assist our ongoing efforts to improve DOH's other efforts of enforcing our state's abortion laws.

Please contact Gov. Tom Corbett and Rep. Matt Baker and thank them for this action in this matter. Their contact information is Gov. Corbett: governor@pa.gov, 717-787-2500 and Rep. Baker: mbaker@pahousegop.com, 570-724-1390.
