The
abortion practitioner charged with murder in the
deaths of viable unborn children in a two-state operation aimed at avoiding
late-term abortion laws has been released on half a million dollar bond.
Abortion
practitioner Steven Chase Brigham was arraigned today in Cecil County,
Maryland, on 11-count murder indictment then was released on a $500,000 bond.
He was ordered to have “no involvement in any manner in performing abortions”
as a condition of his release.
Brigham
posted bail this afternoon against $306,240 worth of assets. A bail bondsman
posted the remainder of the $500,000 bond, according to information Operation
Rescue provided LifeNews today.
Details
concerning the indictment were also made public. Brigham was charged with
first-degree murder in the deaths of five viable, healthy preborn babies
between July 9 and August 13 2010 at what his co-defendant Nicola Riley
described as a “secret late-term abortion clinic” in Elkton, Maryland.
“Four of
the babies were female. The one male baby was identified in the indictment as
“Male Fetus Brewer.” That little boy was the son of a patient that suffered the
life-threatening botched abortion that first drew attention to Brigham’s
illegal bi-state late-term abortion scheme,” Operation Rescue indicated.
Riley has
been charged with a 3-count murder indictment and waits a scheduled January 9
hearing in Salt Lake City where she remain held on no bail. She is expected to be extradited to Maryland sometime
after the hearing.
American Women's Services clinics owner Steve
Brigham, 55, and his employee Nicola Irene Riley, 46, are both doctors that
allegedly performed illegal late-term abortions in Maryland and New Jersey, and
now have been arrested after a 16-month investigation.
