Botched abortions at NAF Clinic

Dr. Abraham Alberto Hodari worked at Northland Family Planning Clinic, a National Abortion Federation member in Michigan. He also worked at Womancare Clinic and Detroit Memorial Hospital. He is believed to have performed the fatal abortions on Tamiia Russell and Chivon Williams.

A 1986 suit by Pamela L. alleged that she underwent an abortion by Hodari and/or Dr. Roumell and/or other physicians. She faulted her doctor with failure to properly determine gestational age, failure to remove all of the placenta, and failure to detect the incomplete abortion. Pamela required further hospitalization and surgery. (Wayne County Circuit Court Case No. 86-627445)

Joann B. alleged that she was diagnosed pregnant by Hodari and/or staff at Northland Women’s Medical Center. There was no ultrasound or other verification done to ensure that the positive pregnancy test was accurate. Joann underwent an abortion by Hodari June 17, 1985. She suffered a perforated uterus and permanent injury for which surgical repair was required. After her abortion Joann learned that she had not actually been pregnant.

Bonita experienced shock and continued bleeding, was “ultimately transported to Bon Secours Hospital” where surgery found 3 cm uterine perforation, bleeding right uterine artery, and perforation of her broad ligament, “all perforations being beyond repair.” Bonita’s uterus was removed.
