It is our legal right to see proof,&#8221; she said. &#8220;I was able to find out two of the doctors on staff (their website does not provide this) and found out that Dr. Palmer has a reprimand and fine against his license. There may be more they are hiding, but I would not trust my body and my life to this shady operation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/give.liveaction.org\/general-donation\/?utm_source=lan&amp;utm_medium=display&amp;utm_campaign=monthly&amp;utm_content=article\"><i><strong>Did you know that as little as $10 a month is enough to reach more than 3,000 people with the truth about abortion that no one else is telling them?
