A Christian legal organization wants answers from a Michigan abortionist and state officials on records found behind one of his clinics.
The Thomas More Society wants to know why abortionist Alberto Hodari has not been punished since records were not the only thing found in the trash container. TMS president Tom Brejcha reports that "they also found...fetal remains -- just thrown out as if they were garbage."
The attorney explains that pro-lifers who made the discovery turned the evidence over to the local district attorney and the state health department. After a lengthy period, an inquiry was made as to the status of the investigation, but Brejcha explains that the response indicated that the "complaint was noted and that it was deemed unsubstantiated by the evidence...submitted." So other than discovering that "not enough evidence was presented," the state says it can tell the pro-lifers nothing about the investigation.

"If any other physician had done that kind of thing, they'd be hailed up before the disciplinary board and reprimanded, if not sanctioned [or] worse," the law firm president suggests.
The Christian legal organization has filed suit against the state because "Hodari's actions should not be cloaked in secrecy under law." Personal information can be removed from the files, but Brejcha feels the public needs to know the type of "substandard, haphazard medical practices [that] are being permitted in Michigan."
