Brigham's N.E. Phila. Facility Totally Closes!


From Mike McMonagle, President
Pro-Life Coalition of Pa.

 A Northeast Philadelphia pro-life activist reported today that, based on personal observations, Steven Brigham's "Integrity Family Health" (IFH) at 9622 Bustleton Avenue has totally closed.  Therefore, our public witness scheduled there for 11AM-12 noon on Wednesday, December 18, 2013 will not occur.

The Pa. Department of Health (DOH) granted IFH a license to commit abortions there despite their August 2010 order against Steven Brigham having any relationship with an abortion chamber in Pa.  On November 29, 2013, the DOH ordered IFH to stop committing abortions as of November 29, 2013.  However, IFH remained opened for abortion referrals and other "women's services."  Plus, IFH was taking abortion appointments for December 18, 2013.

But, the vigilance from pro-life activists and extra scrutiny from DOH likely prevented IFH from committing abortions.  The inability to commit abortions also likely led to IFH becoming not financially viable and, thereby, closing.
