Crazy story out of Pennsylvania today<\/a>. Three abortion clinic workers, including two doctors, from the Allegheny Women’s Center<\/a> in Pittsburgh have been criminally charged after the doctors illegally purchased thousands of diet pills for a clinic technician “to treat anxiety and depression”:<\/p>\n

Providing the drugs was illegal because the doctors did not have a clinical relationship with the staffer<\/strong>,\u00a0Mark Wagner<\/a>, 48, and therefore abused their\u00a0Drug Enforcement Administration<\/a>\u00a0licenses to dispense prescription medications, Attorney General\u00a0Linda Kelly<\/a>\u00a0said.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Dr. John Barrett, the abortionist who hustles under-the-counter prescriptions to his coworkers. “Hey buddy. I got somethin’ under my lab coat for ya.”<\/p><\/div>\n

The former medical director of the Allegheny Women’s Center, Dr.\u00a0Alton Lawson<\/a>, 72, of Pittsburgh, authorized an employee to order the pills known as Diethylpropion for Wagner, Kelly\u00a0contended.<\/p>\n

Wagner, of Pittsburgh, used the pills to treat anxiety and depression, though they’re most commonly used to treat obesity<\/strong>, according to the\u00a0charges.<\/p>\n

After Dr.\u00a0John Barrett<\/a>, 41, of Pittsburgh, took over as the clinic’s director, he continued ordering prescriptions for Wagner for 1,200 tablets at a time<\/strong>, whenever Wagner told the doctor he needed the drugs, according to a criminal\u00a0complaint.<\/p>\n

In all, the doctors ordered more than 20,000 tablets over several years for Wagner<\/strong>, who “did not pay for the drugs and viewed them as compensation for working overtime and for regularly providing clinic supplies and office refreshments,” according to a statement from\u00a0Kelly.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I imagine there is a lot of “anxiety and depression” to go around inside an abortion clinic. Interestingly, the raid that busted Kermit Gosnell’s mill in Philadelphia was ordered because of Gosnell’s drug-laundering side business. And interesting that two more Pennsylvania abortion doctors now find themselves face to face with the law. Hope it’s a new trend…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
