A notorious abortionist who was caught making house calls may be on his way out of the profession.

James Pendergraft's medical license has been suspended five times. Operation Rescue's Cheryl Sullenger says the abortionist was arrested in October 2015 for operating a home abortion service from his van in South Carolina.

"That's a problem for several reasons," the pro-life explains. "One, he's not even licensed to practice [medicine] in South Carolina – and he was also caught in possession of several illegal narcotics that were used to sedate women for abortions. He was also caught with marijuana and LSD."

Arresting officers also found instruments used to terminate preborn babies and containers of aborted babies. He has been indicted on ten charges. His trial is expected to begin later this week.

Sullenger says Pendergraft's arrest is causing trouble for his Florida abortion businesses. "... The state has revoked all of [those] facility licenses because it's actually illegal for them to be associated with someone who's been arrested for crimes like this," she adds.

Pendergraft, who owns four clinics in Florida, has appealed the decision. If the appeal fails, he will have 30 days to close the abortuaries or sell them, especially if convicted on the South Carolina charges. He still faces a $36 million judgment in connection with a botched abortion procedure in Florida.
