Notorious abortionist Steve Brigham is once again in the news, as he has been for decades.
The Philadelphia Inquirer is reporting that Brigham has sold his interests in eight New Jersey abortion centers to Vikram Kaji. Kaji, though not as well-known as Brigham, has his own sordid history with the law. According to the Inquirer, Kaji’s medical license was suspended in New Jersey and Pennsylvania many years ago following revelations that he sexually abused patients and improperly prescribed controlled substances.
Adding to the mystery, a spokesperson for the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs told the Inquirer that Kaji’s license is “currently active, and not subject to restrictions.”
The transfer of ownership of American Women’s Services is just the latest chapter in a drama that dates back decades. Brigham seems to be constantly in trouble with the law yet, somehow, some way, he continues on, keeping a finger in the abortion industry.
Even leaders of the abortion industry denounce him. Vicki Saporta, who heads the National Abortion Federation, told the Inquirer that she’s come to expect “deceptive activity” from Brigham, who has a reputation for botched abortions. Brigham was known for starting late-term abortions in New Jersey, then extracting the dead babies in other states a day or so later.
The state of Maryland charged Brigham under a fetal homicide law, but later had to abandon the case because the unborn babies’ deaths took place in New Jersey.
The American Women’s Services website lists more than a dozen abortion facilities in Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania ordered the pair of Pennsylvania abortion centers closed, so it is unclear why they remain listed on the website.
The National Abortion Federation’s Saporta told the Inquirer that people “should be alarmed” by the situation. And people are.
Government regulators clearly have not done enough to protect women from the criminal activities of Brigham and Kaji. But the situation also shows that the abortion industry is completely ineffective at policing itself.

Steve Brigham shows us the fatal flaws within an industry that takes innocent lives, leaving women maimed, scarred, and, in some cases, critically injured. It is all too easy for abortion advocates to point the finger at Brigham. But the disgraced doctor is symptomatic of the culture within the abortion industry—a culture perceptively described by former abortion workers such as Carol Everett and Abby Johnson.
The only way to protect women effectively from the Brighams and Kajis of the world is to put the abortion industry out of business. And that is why Roe v. Wade needs to be overturned.
