Maryland late-term abortionist has medical license revoked

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:

An injection of digoxin is common with very late-term abortions, like the one described below by former abortionist, Dr. Anthony Levatino:

Alexander had his license suspended in 2014 for illegally performing abortions without a license. But as Live Action News’ Cassy Fiano reported at the time, this wasn’t his first suspension:

Then, earlier this year, Live Action News’ Carole Novielli reported that Alexander was found to be committing unlicensed abortions again, and the Maryland Board of Medicine said they would keep the complaint “on file” — in other words, no action was taken.

This time, however, the medical board’s license revocation in regards to the 2014 stillborn case stated, “Dr. Alexander exercised poor clinical judgment by disregarding his own medical assessment of the patient and treating the patient he expected rather than the patient who actually presented.” Operation Rescue writes that “[a]nother contributing factor in the Board’s decision was the fact that Alexander had been previously disciplined and was currently on probation at the time of the 2014 incident.” OR also notes that several other conditions were found that “made Alexander’s practice too dangerous to continue,” such as:

What is telling, says Operation Rescue, is that “[d]espite these findings, the Board chose not to base its ruling on any of those those egregious factors.”
