Media Advisory: Texas Medical Board Will Hear 3 Abortion Cases Today, 7 Others at a Later Date

Austin, TX – Disciplinary hearings for three Texas abortionists are moving forward today, while hearings for two others have been postponed.
The Texas Medical Board will hold hearings beginning at 10:00 AM (Central time) for Robert E. Hanson, Alan Molson, and William W. West, Jr., who are under accusations for various abortion abuses based on complaints filed by Operation Rescue. The hearings are being held at the Texas Medical Board offices at 333 Guadalupe in Austin, Texas.

Abortionists Douglas A. Karpen and Franz Theard, whose cases were scheduled for today, have had their hearings postponed because their shared attorney is said to be ill and could not be present.
Five other abortionists will also face Board hearings at a yet to be determined date. Those five are Pedro J. Kowalyszyn, Sherwood C. Lynn, Margaret Kini, Robert L. Prince, and H. Brook Randal.
