Another was reprimanded by his state licensing board for 'gross malpractice.' A third was responsible for more than $500,000 in out-of-court settlements on abortions gone awry.

From the Press of Atlantic City - June 29, 2007 - The Alternatives abortion clinic on Pacific Avenue, which was last inspected in 2001, was shut down a week ago after officials responded to a complaint concerning change-of-ownership issues. Although that complaint was unfounded, inspectors found several violations “posing immediate and serious risk of harm to patients,” according to a letter obtained Thursday by The Press from the state to the clinic's medical director, Dr. Alan Kline.

One violation included the lack of hot water for over a year. The Atlantic City abortion facility had not been inspected in six years despite the fact that New Jersey law requires an inspection every other year.
