An abortionist arrested and charged with murder once worked at a Pensacola abortion clinic that was burned early Sunday, January 1st, 2012.
Steven Chase Brigham’s Pensacola connection
Steven Chase Brigham replaced slain abortion practitioner John Britton at The Ladies Center in Pensacola, Florida in late 1994. He stopped working there in the wake of the New York and New Jersey board actions. His Florida license was suspended February 5, 1995. Brigham left Florida after pro-life activist Vicki Conroy brought his New Jersey and New York suspensions to the state medical board’s attention. Brigham was notified of the suspension at the Pensacola airport where he was about to catch a plane. His license was later permanently revoked in the state of Florida.
He apparently regained his license, but was suspended again in 2010 over similar violations.
On January 1, 2012, the Pensacola abortion mill where Brigham had worked was damaged by a suspicious fire that the FBI is now investigating.
Connecting The Dots
This is the same abortion mill that closed over two years ago after being fined for not having a valid lab license. The clinic soon reopened after being taken over by an abortion corporation based out of New Jersey.

The Florida Agency for Health Care Administration shows that the mailing address for Integrity Medical Care, the corporation that owns American Family Planning is also 1 Alpha Ave, Voorhees, New Jersey.
Some news outlets have noted that Brigham was the abortionist listed at the New Jersey address for American Medical Services. Although he worked in Pensacola in the early 1990s, the current relationship is uncertain.
Integrity Medical Care, LLC is also the address for Alpha Realestate, LLC, and Chesapeake Freestate Holdings, Inc. Both are managing members of Integrity Medical Care. Abortion clinics are usually owned by corporations for liability purposes. These corporations may be owned by other corporations. But often the abortionists are listed as board officers or remain hidden as share holders.
I doubt it was the abortion clinic owners themselves that lit the fire as some have alleged. It was probably someone reacting to the news that Brigham was the one arrested and charged with murderer. It’s an interesting twist on this story.
However, the most recent abortion mill fire will have the same negative effect on pro-life street activism as did the shooting-death of George Tiller, which was absolutely nothing. I noted at the time that the press reacted with almost boredom. Where were the cries of outrage that we heard when Davin Gunn and John Bayard Britton were shot in 1993? In comparison, the shooting death of Tiller had the same effect as when a Libyan mob murdered Gadhafi without due process of law. While we ought to condemn vigilantism, these “doctors” are murderers even according to our laws. They not only do late term abortions, but also commit infanticides of babies born-alive.
Is Defensive Action Defensible?
So what is the appropriate response to legal inaction toward these murderers and the mainstream media blackout?
Pro-life street evangelists should keep on doing just what they are doing peacefully and consistently with as much grace as God gives them. We need to keep crying out in the streets that babies — born and unborn — are being butchered in these abortion mills. Our response can never be vigilantism, but neither should we respond with shock or outrage when undisciplined renegades take that course.
I have written two articles against so-called “defensive action” from a theonomic perspective. One was published in Chaldedon Report when R.J. Rushdoony was still alive. The other was more recently published at the Statesman Global Initiatives blog. I argue that the defensive action advocates are wrong for a number of reasons.
But here’s the rub.
- The violence is most often against abortionists who commit late term abortion and even the murder of babies born alive. The mainstream media will not link the two.
- We should not assume these vigilantes are “pro-life” activists. The recent fire at the Pensacola abortion mill may simply have been set by a common citizen repulsed by the numerous infanticides committed by Steven Brigham.
Now comes the thought that someone may be provoked after hearing about the atrocities committed by Florida late term abortion chain owner, James S. Pendergraft. He and abortionist Randall Whitney cavalierly admitted in lawsuit depositions that they do illegal late term abortions and leave babies born alive to die. (An article based on court room eyewitness notes and transcripts is forthcoming.)
If someone who does not share our sanctity of life ethic takes retaliation into his own hands, the media will focus on these isolated incidents of violence.
Who then will expose the inaction of our local politicians, law enforcement and the uninterested mainstream media?
“Have nothing to do with the unfruitful deeds of darkness, but rather expose them” (Ephesians 5:11).

Massacre of Innocence (DVD)
Exposing The Occult Roots of Abortion
This presentation looks at the spiritual roots of abortion and exposes the myths surrounding child killing. Little known historical facts about abortion and how they relate to modern feminism are presented logically and accurately. Has been effective in converting many to a pro-life position.
Massacre of Innocence goes where no pro-life presentation has gone before in “tearing the lid off abortion” to reveal the spiritual realities we must battle if we will bring an end to this crime. The presentation is absorbing, fast-paced, informative and incredibly devastating to any attempt to justify abortion.
“… an extraordinary statement … a powerfully articulate presentation about what abortion really means, and why a great and moral nation like the United States must not allow the slaughter to continue.”
— Congressman Robert K. Dornan

The Four Keys to the Millennium (Book)
Foundations in Biblical Eschatology
By Jay Rogers, Larry Waugh, Rodney Stortz, Joseph Meiring. High quality paperback, 167 pages.
All Christians believe that their great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, will one day return. Although we cannot know the exact time of His return, what exactly did Jesus mean when he spoke of the signs of His coming (Mat. 24)? How are we to interpret the prophecies in Isaiah regarding the time when “the earth will be full of the knowledge of the LORD as the waters cover the sea” (Isa. 11:19)? Should we expect a time of great tribulation and apostasy or revival and reformation before the Lord returns? Is the devil bound now, and are the saints reigning with Christ? Did you know that there are four hermeneutical approaches to the book of Daniel and Revelation?
These and many more questions are dealt with by four authors as they present the four views on the millennium. Each view is then critiqued by the other three authors.

Go Stand Speak (DVD)
With “preaching to the lost” being such a basic foundation of Christianity, why do many in the church seem to be apathetic on this issue of preaching in highways and byways of towns and cities?
Is it biblical to stand in the public places of the world and proclaim the gospel, regardless if people want to hear it or not?
Does the Bible really call church pastors, leaders and evangelists to proclaim the gospel in the public square as part of obedience to the Great Commission, or is public preaching something that is outdated and not applicable for our day and age?
These any many other questions are answered in this documentary.
