A Maryland abortionist, Harold O. Alexander, has lost his medical license after performing an abortion in 2014 on a woman whose condition instead called for an obstetrical delivery of her stillborn baby. Operation Rescue reports<\/a>:<\/p>\n

… Alexander\u2019s examination of the woman determined that her baby was already dead when she arrived at his facility….\u00a0Her treatment should have fallen under obstetrical standards that required him to refer the woman to a hospital for the delivery of her stillborn baby.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, Alexander treated her as if she was getting an abortion. He put her at risk by unnecessarily injecting digoxin into her womb to kill the baby even though the baby was already dead.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
