ORLANDO, FL, November 10, 2011 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Dr. James Pendergraft, a Florida abortionist who earlier this year was order to pay $36 million in damages after a botched abortion left a baby alive, but severely disabled, is now attempting to attract clients to his Orlando Women’s Center by offering a coupon for abortions, valid on Sundays only.
The coupon, which can be used to kill an unborn baby up to 24 weeks old, is advertised on the main page of the Center’s website.
“Limited time special! Print this page and bring it in for $50 savings only on Sundays!” reads the coupon. “VALID FOR ABORTIONS PERFORMED BY 5/31/12. You must present this page to the receptionist at the time of the abortion ON SUNDAYS ONLY. $50 credit towards cost of abortion. No cash value.”
The website says that the clinic was founded by Pendergraft in response to “a great need” for first trimester and late term abortions in the Orlando area.
The notorious abortionist, who has had his medical license suspended four times, owns four other clinics in the state. The most recent suspension of his medical license was imposed in August 2010 for allowing an employee to administer narcotics without a license. He was also found guilty of prescribing steroids for no apparent reason to an employee known to have a drug problem.”

Just when I think I’ve hit my personal level of horror, something like this pops up. Dear God, have mercy on us.
Only for use on Sundays. Nice way for him to add a touch of sneer to his depravity.
Let us pray that the $36 million is used for the health and life of the baby that lived despite the forces of death; maybe that little one will do something meant to be done, that no one else could do.
This guys is absolutely nuts. I live in Orlando, about 10 minutes from his clinic and have prayed outside of it many times.
And peculiarly enough, we had an interesting email exchange just last week. I was trying to dig into the philosophy of his position, and it turned out to be moral relativism incarnate.
When I asked “when would I know when what’s inside my wife is actually a baby?” he replied, “That’s not up to me to determine. That’s an individual choice that is different for every person.”
And he was quick to bring up the Mississippi vote as a sign that “most people” disagree that life begins at conception. He was, of course, assuming that “most people” excludes “most embryologists”.
Nevertheless, my mind was agape at his illogic and disdain for life at all levels–particularly young, pregnant mothers.
