Reclaiming Our Children: A Blog About Healing After Abortion

In a recent post on abortion and suicide I mentioned the case of Stacy Zalle. http://reclaimingourchildren.typepad.com/lumina_a_ray_of_light_aft/2010/09/suicide-and-abortion.html Looks like her dad is suing the abortionist Steven C. Brigham.

Please keep the Zalle's in your prayers…

Steven C. Brigham’s patient commits suicide after abortion, family sues

Accused Voorhees doctor faces lawsuit from Zallie

10/2/2010

A Voorhees doctor, under fire from state officials over alleged
improper abortions, also faces a legal challenge from a Camden County
businessman and political figure.

Dr. Steven C. Brigham is accused of malpractice in a lawsuit filed by George Zallie Sr. of Cherry Hill. Zallie’s daughter committed suicide about 15 months after having an abortion in Brigham’s facility in July 2001.

“We lost our youngest child and our first grandchild,” Zallie said in an interview this week.

His lawsuit claims Brigham and his employees did not disclose
all relevant facts to his daughter, then a 19-year-old college student
who was three to six weeks pregnant. That includes assertions that her
fetus was “a complete, separate living human being” and “a second family
member.”

The suit also says Brigham and others at the American Women’s Center did not warn Stacy Zallie
of the “substantial increased risk of severe emotional trauma and
distress” for women who have abortions. It also contends they failed to
make sure her decision was voluntary.

Stacy Zallie made at least four suicide attempts after the abortion before dying at age 21 in October 2002, the lawsuit says.

Zallie’s attorney, Harold Cassidy of Shrewsbury, Monmouth County,
declined to comment on pending litigation. Brigham’s lawyer could not be
reached.

But an attorney representing Brigham in a separate fight with state officials has denied any wrongdoing by the doctor.

“Everything he did complied with applicable law and was in
conformance with accepted standards of medical practice,” said Joseph
Gorrell of Roseland, Essex County.
