WASHINGTON
(BP)--Abortion doctor James Pendergraft -- his medical license suspended four times in Florida -- has opened a secret clinic in the Washington, D.C., area to help perform late-term procedures.
Pendergraft, who received a one-year suspension in August from the state where he operates five abortion clinics, has advertised his new clinic online.
