Abortion Practitioner Alberto Hodari Fined $10,000 For Woman's Abortion Death

Lathrup Village, MI (LifeNews.com) -- Abortion practitioner Alberto Hodari, based in the suburbs of Detroit, Michigan, has been fined $10,000 by a state board in connection with a woman's botched abortion death. One of Hodari's staff did an abortion on Regina Johnson and, afterwards, suffered respiratory and cardiac arrest. Staff at Hodari's abortion center allegedly failed to help her or call for an ambulance and she was deprived of oxygen for an extended time. She died a short time later at Hodari's Womencare clinic in Lathrup Village. Johnson's death is one of several women to have died over the years under Hodari's care. The September 17, 2003 abortion saw Milton Nathanson, then employed by Hodari, do an abortion on Johnson. She died the next day from "anoxic encephalopahy due to cardiac arrest" resulting from the abortion, according to official reports. In addition to Hodari and Nathanson, anesthesiologist Barry Thompson and the abortion clinic's nurse, Cathy Litchig were also implicated in Johnson's death. The Michigan Attorney General imposed the fine on Hodari on march 4, 2009, but information about it only recently became public. Monica Migliorino Miller, director of Citizens for a Pro-Life Society, informed LifeNews.com of the fine and talked with the pro-life news service about it. She said that "$10,0000 seems such a small penalty to pay for the death of a human being. To Hodari this is pocket money." Ref. Source 5
