An abortionist whose gruesome work was shut down in Illinois has joined forces with another abortionist in Wisconsin.
Dennis Christensen and Bernard Smith filed suit against a 2013 Wisconsin law that requires abortionists to have admitting privileges at a hospital within 30 miles. Both abortionists learned this week that three Milwaukee hospitals have refused to let them admit patients.
Cheryl Sullenger with Operation Rescue says both are "operating against the law" after failing to get admitting privileges.
"They're only open because they have obtained an injunction until the court can make a final ruling," she tells OneNewsNow.
Operation Rescue reports that Christensen was the abortionist at a Rockford, Illinois abortion mill who posted vulgar signs mocking Christianity and pro-life demonstrators. After repeated complaints to state health officials, an inspection was done – the first in 18 years – and the clinic was closed permanently.
"Once the state closed it down for posing serious health and safety hazards – it was an absolutely filthy mess inside – he relocated to Milwaukee," Sullenger says of Christensen.
The second abortionist, Bernard Smith, has been involved in a number of botched abortions, she alleges.
If the court rules in favor of the new state law, they will be shut down.
"If they're not qualified to practice in a hospital setting, we don't believe they're qualified to practice medicine at all," Sullenger says.
