Three abortion clinics can open, 8/25/2006

Orlando — State restrictions have been lifted on three abortion clinics owned by Dr. James Pendergraft, allowing procedures to be done again at his offices in Ocala, Tampa and Fort Lauderdale. However, Pendergraft’s two Orlando sites are prohibited indefinitely from providing abortions. The offices are the EPOC Clinic on Virginia Drive and Orlando Women’s Center on Lucerne Terrace. Earlier this month, the state Agency for Health Care Administration banned abortions at all locations on the grounds that the doctor illegally performed third-trimester abortions in 2004 and 2005.
