From the Citizens for a Pro-Life Society website:

On Saturday, May 3, over 300 mourners gathered at St. Gerald's Church in Farmington, MI, for the funeral Mass to pay their respects to 23 victims of abortion killed at the Woman Care abortion clinics in Lathrup Village and Sterling Heights - owned and operated by abortionist Alberto Hodari....

(See more photos on page 2.)

Auxiliary Bishop of Detroit, John Quinn, offered the funeral Mass. Con-celebrants included the chancellor for the Archdiocese of Detroit, Msgr. Robert McClory as well as Father Ronald Browne, pastor of St. Gerald's.

Pro-lifers, including mmebers of Citizens for a Pro-life Society, retrieved the babies on February 24 and March 2 - amid biohazardous watse and numerous patient records.

Those who live according to the ethics of the culture of death threw these human beings in the trash - after killing them in violent acts of abortion. The human being made in the image and likeness of God had no more value or meaning than the coffee grounds and half eaten McDonald's hamburgers - thrown out in the garbage dumpster.

When pro-lifers took them out of the trash they were given back to God the Father who made them - reversing in some small way, the horrific injustice done to them.

The babies truly can say: "The reason why the world does not know us--is that it never knew HIM. We are God's children now" (1 John 3: 1-2).

[T]he Hodari Babies [are] buried... at Holy Sepulchre Cemetery, Southfield, MI, Cemetery Section 71.

The Michigan Catholic has posted an in-depth article today with more photos.

[HT: Milissa of Catholic Pro-life Committee, who 1st discovered these babies, mentioned in the MC article]

This Saturday, May 3, the Archdiocese of Detroit will provide a funeral Mass and burial for 25 aborted babies retrieved from the trash dumpsters behind late-term abortionist Alberto Hodari's Woman Care abortion clinics in MI.

Services will begin at 10:30a at St. Gerald's Church, 21300 Farmington Road, Farmington, MI. A private burial service will take place for the aborted babies immediately following the Mass at Holy Sepulchre Cemetery in Southfield.

Those not following the story can catch up here.

In a nutshell, in February and March pro-lifers led by Monica Miller,director of Citizens for a Pro-Life Society, discovered biohazardous waste, over 200 patient records, used syringes, and the remains of aborted babies in the dumpsters of 3 of Hodari's abortion clinics. Click to enlarge one patient record from Hodari's trash, left. You can view a YouTube video of what they found here....

On March 6 Miller handed over to authorities all she had found except the babies. She kept copies of the medical records.

On March 10 the MI Dept. of Environmental Quality and police searched Hodari's Lathrup Village dumpster and also found biohazardous waste.

To date no charges have been filed, although the Oakland Co. prosecutor's office is expected to charge Hodari with violating MI laws on improper disposal of patient records.

In a press release announcing the funeral, Miller stated:

These unborn babies are the throw-aways of our society. They were killed in violent acts of abortion, and literally thrown away in the trash - destined to find their final resting place with garbage in a land-fill. When we found them we discovered the awful secret of their hidden and silent deaths. Now they are embraced by God's people and buried with other babies. This tomb will be a place of refuge especially for grieving mothers and dads who regret that they made the decision to abort their children - a place of reconciliation....

We've talked much the last couple weeks about MI late-term abortionist Alberto Hodari, in the news for tossing aborted babies and medical records into his dumpsters. Read my Hodari archives here.

But just what does an abortionist do with all the money s/he makes from aborting poor mothers in crisis?

Pro-lifer Judy Papa has sidewalk counseled at Hodari's Flint, MI, pole barn abortion mill for years and sent photos of Hodari's hobby, classic car collecting. He even takes them to shows.

Where does Hodari keep his babies? Inside the mill, at the service entrance.

These first photos are of Hodari leaving the mill in his favorite car. He mentioned it during his infamous talk at Wayne State U last November...

See more photos on page 2.

Hodari's driver is Geraldo, shown here in another of Hodari's cars...

And a couple others...

The Detroit News reported today that the MI Dept. of Environmental Quality will not levy any fines against late-term abortionist Alberto Hodari for tossing aborted babies, biohazardous waste, used drugs, needles, and medical records into his dumpster. Pro-lifers found all of these over the course of 4 weekends at 3 of Hodari's 6 mills.

When authorities search Hodari's Lathrup Village mill trash, according to the DN, they found "waste that was improperly disposed and separated, placed in unlabeled containers and improperly mixed with other waste" but no babies.

According to the DN, the DEQ charged Hodari with 3 "waste-disposal violations" with instructions to retrain employees. That was it.

Meanwhile, Citizens for a Pro-Life Society reported in an email alert today that Monica Miller, the pro-lifer who stored Hodari's trash at her home until enough evidence was garnered to notify police, is being billed $1100 "for keeping evidence on my property from Hodari's dumpster - evidence that we collected so that the DEQ could do an investigation and file charges against Hodari!"...

CPLS stated in a press release:

The DEQ defends its inaction by claiming that Hodari's violation was a one-time, isolated instance. Miller explains: "This is not true. And the DEQ knows it's not true! We gave them evidence of violations that we discovered on February 24th and March 2nd. Furthermore we gave them evidence of violations at other Hodari abortion clinics - not just the one in Lathrup Village. There's no question that Hodari violated the law multiple times....

CPLS has released an extended video that includes footage of obscured patient records and additional babies taken Hodari's trash:

There is no justice when it comes to abortion. Authorities/judges are either pro-aborts are cowed by pro-aborts.

[Still shot of Hodari's trash was taken from above video]

On July 18, 2007, a mother named Taffiney entered late-term abortionist Alberto Hodari's Flint, MI, pole barn abortion mill (pictured right, with 1 of Hodari's classic cars on display; click to enlarge) to abort her 4th baby, about 6 weeks old. She told me last night, "It's a day I'll never forget."

Taffiney and her husband were having a hard time making ends meet with 3 children and didn't think they could afford another. Neither had been involved in abortion before but thought there was no other way out of their bind.

On A-Day they began washing clothes at a nearby laundromat, and then Taffiney went ahead of her husband to Hodari's mill to start the paperwork....

On his way into the mill to join Taffiney after finishing the laundry, hubbie was greeted by pro-life sidewalk counselors including stalwart Karen Mercino.

"He called me inside the clinic on Miss Judy's cell phone," Taffiney told me. "We were both crying; we didn't want to do it. He said, 'I've been out here talking to these ladies, and they've been making sense to me. If God didn't want us to have kids you wouldn't have gotten pregnant.'"

Taffiney left the mill. "Everyone was crying," she said. "I'm so glad they were out there that day. I honestly think - I know - we would have done it."

Taffiney continued, "I swear to this day Miss Judy, Miss Karen, and Miss Daphne have been lifesavers. I hate to say it took abortion for us to meet them, but I'm glad we did."

I asked Taffiney what she remembered of Hodari's mill. "There was a lot of grief, not just mine, but you could see grief on other people's faces. The nurses were not compassionate."

Pro-lifers helped Taffiney's family through her pregnancy, giving them money and dinner at Thanksgiving, purchasing Christmas toys for their other 3 children, "checking on me more than my family does," said Taffiney.

On March 8 Flint Co. Right to Life, lead by president Judy Climer, sponsored a baby shower for Taffiney, also giving gifts to her other 3 children as well as grocery cards, gift cards, and baskets of groceries. So much was given, a car and a van were filled.

Then on March 18, little Aubrey Marie entered the world at 7#, 14 oz., and 20" long.

Taffiney concluded, "Now that I look at her I think abortion would have been the worst mistake I ever made."

I speak at several pregnancy care banquets each year. Every one has 1-3 client testimonies, just variations of Taffiney's.

Detroit Free Press today updated us on late-term abortionist and trash freer Alberto Hodari.

And the news is very exciting. I hope you're sitting down:

The owner of a Lathrup Village clinic accused of improperly disposing of medical waste said Tuesday that he's putting biohazard bags in every examination room to ensure that materials don't end up in regular trash bins again....

At his clinic in Lathrup Village... Hodari showed off eight new trash cans with red biohazard bags for hazardous materials. He has also purchased shredders for documents with patient information.

What, did he call a press conference?

So before now there were not biohazard bags in every "examination room," i.e., operating room in which to toss "materials," i.e., aborted babies?

What an idiot. The reporter, too....

But there's more.

Hodari... said he doubts aborted fetuses were in the Dumpsters.

This guy is the Baghdad Bob of the abortion industry.

Snippets of good news from the piece. Hodari could be fined up to $2,500 for each violation, and police have said they will turn the case over to the county prosecutor this week.

That said, I spoke with Monica Miller tonight, the pro-lifer who took pictures and video of the aborted babies from Hodari's trash. She spoke to the prosecutor's office today, and they have not received anything from police and have not opened a file.

Fox News just posted a story on late-term abortionist and garbage dumper Alberto Hodari.

It was revealed on March 10 that Hodari was throwing aborted baby parts, needles, used drugs, and medical records in the trash at 3 of his 6 abortion mills.

Read all my posts and related documents in my Hodari archive.

From the Fox story:

Monica Miller, director of Citizens for a Pro-Life Society... stored what was found in her garage until authorities could investigate....

Miller turned patient files over to police, but she made copies of "representative samples of what was found in the trash" and allowed a reporter to peruse the records in her home. At least one document has been posted on the Web site of an anti-abortion activist.

That would be me.

Michigan law requires a girl under 18 to bring written permission from 1 parent or written permission from the court to her abortionist.

In the 200+ medical records pro-lifers recovered from late-term abortionist Alberto Hodari's trash over the course of 4 Saturdays at 3 of his 6 mills, there was not 1 permission waiver from either parent or judge.

Did Hodari get permission before aborting this girl, who was procuring a 2nd trimester abortion from him and whose record was 1 of those found? (VTP means Voluntary Termination of Pregnancy; more on these loans soon.) Click to enlarge:

UPDATE, 12p: I have created a "Hodari" archive link, which you can see scrolling down on the right side of the home page. All Hodari articles will be available there.

Found in late-term abortionist Alberto Hodari's dumpster in the piles of 200+ patient records (click to enlarge)....

Interestingly and as an aside, it looks by the price change on the form below as if Hodari cuts deals, like a used car salesman....

Dr. Monica Miller shot video of the trash as they were removing it from MI abortionist Alberto Hodari's dumpster, a story I have been chronicling for 3 days now (read here and here).

This 6-minute video is very disturbing. The last 2-1/2 minutes show the babies.

I am horrified that so-called medical professionals would throw needles, drugs, and bloody biohazardous waste in the neighborhood trash, never mind the poor mutilated babies. And careless disregard for medical records is a federal offense.

These combined actions must certainly have been criminal. Hodari's mills should be immediately shut down, and he should be thrown in jail.

Click on the graphic below to link to last night's WDIV newscast, indicating authorities searched Hodari's clinic yesterday as well as the dumpster. Also see Monica Miller interviewed near the end:

Yesterday the Detroit News broke a story that pro-lifers had recovered aborted babies, medical records, and "blood soaked medical waste" from a dumpster at WomanCare in Lathrup Village, MI, owned by late-term abortionist Alberto Hodari (left).

Last night I spoke with Dr. Monica Miller, the pro-lifer who kept the evidence until notifying police. Monica faxed me her police report and copies of documents retrieved from Hodari's trash. She also detailed more of what they found. This morning she emailed me photos, one you see posted on page 1, the rest on page 2....

Hodari is denying charges, blaming "a new employee on Saturday," according to the DN. But pro-lifers recovered medical waste and records from 3 of Hodari's 6 mills - Lathrup Village, Southgate, and Sterling Heights - over the course of 4 Saturdays. Monica called Hodari's explanation "a bunch of B.S.," according to DN.

The volume of medical records and various identifiers recovered was staggering - over 200, according to Monica.

These included whole medical charts - intake forms, patient histories, how mothers became pregnant (rape, incest, "victim of failed birth control," "victim of no birth control"), gestational age of baby, signed consent forms; procedure descriptions, and recovery room records; insurance forms; loan applications (more on that in another post); names; addresses; phone numbers; copies of driver's licenses; and office appointment schedules.

DN reporter Kim Kozlowski copied down names and phone numbers before police arrived, telling Monica, "I'm wondering if I were to call them, what their reaction would be."

Monica approximates the total number of babies recovered as 25. This was hard to ascertain since the babies were in parts. One's skull was only slightly smaller than a tennis ball. One rib measured 2". The estimated age here was 20-25 weeks. But most were 1st trimester - if that.

Monica told me, "I said to myself, 'I am not willingly going to turn these babies over to them [authorities]. I don't care if they arrest me.' I told them, 'This is a moral issue. These babies don't belong in the trash. We got them out, and we're going to bury them.'"

Authorities complied, and Monica has since taken the babies to a funeral home for safekeeping.

Biohardous waste recovered included bloody suction cannulas; bloody laminaria; used condoms and condom wrappers; IV bags with tubing and sharps attached; partially filled and empty drug vials; and bloody gauze.

Some charts were originals and dated the very day they were retrieved from the trash, a seeming violation of federal privacy laws. This calls into question Hodari's ability to keep accurate records, as mandated by the state. And how also does Hodari accurately maintain income records for tax purposes?

Monica's group also found several bloody but empty gauze tubes. These are tied at one end and the other placed at the end of the suction hose in a glass jar during an abortion. The idea is to catch small baby parts and let blood flow through. If these were bloody but empty, was the aborting woman pregnant to begin with? This leads to this strange waiver found in Hodari's trash (click to enlarge):

This form maintains Hodari isn't liable if it is later determined the abortee was never pregnant. It also makes the patient responsible for Hodari's mistakes. Never saw a legitimate medical form stating the latter, that's for sure.

There are more photos below. View them and weep.

Everyone certainly remembers Alberto Hodari, the MI abortionist caught on videotape at Wayne State University 4 months ago bragging that he lies to patients, yadda yadda.

Well, Alberto is lying to authorities now.

I spoke with Dr. Monica Miller within the hour, one of the pro-lifers mentioned in the following Detroit News story who has been scavenging a dumpster at one of Hodari's 6 mills for the past month.

Monica said she would get me photos and a copy of her police report tomorrow.

Monica has been a pro-life activist since the 80s and has recovered whole aborted babies from dumpsters. I can't believe an abortionist would still be so stupid....

Monica told me, "Jill, I've never seen so many patient records in my life. This was the motherload of patient records." So much for patient confidentiality. There were names, dates, SSNs, addresses, and phone numbers in that dumpster.

There were also baby parts - hands, spines, etc.

The EPA and police are on the scene right now. Here's the developing story:

LATHRUP VILLAGE - Police and state officials called in hazardous waste crews Monday to haul away blood-soaked medical waste found in the Dumpster outside of WomanCare, an abortion provider that operates six mid-Michigan clinics.

Alberto Hodari, the clinic's medical director, blamed the apparent improper disposal of materials on a new staff member.

Abortion foes say they have searched the clinic's garbage for a month and found improperly disposed medical waste, along with medical documents that should have been shredded. They informed Lathrup Village police, who then launched the investigation.

"It's absolutely despicable," said Monica Miller of Citizens for a Pro-Life Society, the group that claims to have found the improper dumping.

Hodari scoffed at the notion that the group had found medical waste in his Dumpster in Lathrup Village or any of the garbage receptacles at the five other WomanCare clinics....

"It's a regulatory issue and possibly a civil issue, but this ought to be a felony," said Lathrup Village Police Sgt. Vincent Lynch. "This is a neighborhood. Animals could get into the Dumpster they could drag the stuff around and you could end up with contamination as a public health issue far beyond the radius of the Dumpster. We have greater law enforcement for people who throw things outside the window of their car."...

UPDATE, 5p: The Catholic Pro-Life Committee has excerpts from the police report.

Just received a call from Kristan Hawkins of Students for Life, the group that secretly videotaped late-term abortionist Alberto Hodari's speech at Wayne State University November 9.

I profiled a clip from that video here.

Kristan said Fox Cable News' Hannity & Colmes will be profiling Hodari on its show tonight, based on that video. Excellent.

Just got a note from the Washington Times that it linked to my Hodari post today.

Thanks, WT!

I blogged here and here that Wayne State University's Medical Students for Choice invited late-term MI abortionist Alberto Hodari to speak November 9.

Students for Life of America was there to catch the 50 minute speech on videotape with two cameras and will be releasing "best of" clips. The first is below.

Let me preface the clip by giving a shout out to the WSU abortion apprentices who invited Hodari: Kia Jones, Jonathan Oakes, Katie O'Connell, and Cynthia Velting-Kidder. I'm not sure which one introduced Hodari, but there's her picture on the right.

And we upset her, sorry to say. At the close of her intro she said, "I'm sure pretty much everyone here knows that this has been... there's been a lot of [unintelligible] surrounding this talk. One of our fellow students sent our flyer to the national pro-life people. We are now all blogged on their blogs, and you know, it's pretty upsetting that a fellow student would do that to us, brand us, so people know what kind of people we are. But we're here to stay and we're not intimidated by that and we really appreciate everyone coming out becuase it makes all that perhaps worth it."

I'm not sure why we would be considered intimidating when the young woman was standing next to a man who has been accused of killing at least two women and maiming many more.

And "brand"? Why would publicizing one's profession be considered "branding"? She should thank us. I'm hurt. And my dear, you don't need pro-life bloggers to broadcast what kind of people you are. You're doing fine broadcasting that on your own.

At any rate, here is the first clip, and it will not disappoint After ridiculing aborting fathers who pass out while observing their child being sliced and diced, Hodari admits to lying to both father and patients about the procedure. Hodari's braggadocio is quite shocking, quite stupid, actually. What a guy. How long will abortion proponents try to say these quack abortionists are anomalies?

Note this abortionist only lies less now thanks to public education about abortion, no thanks to the industry. This video clip should be shown at every legislative hearing on Women's Right to Know laws - which the industry always fights. It's no wonder.

Citizens for a Pro-Life Society is planning a protest today of late-term abortionist Alberto Hodari's scheduled appearance at the behest of Wayne State University's Medical Students for Choice for an unappetizing "lunchtime seminar":

Students for Choice anticipated in their email alert the other day, which I posted, learning from Hodari "what it is to deal with protesters...."

Yet when I listed the names of the apprentice abortionists to give them firsthand experience with protesters not just to sate their curiosity but also prepare them for some of the perks of their intended profession, pro-aborts called me immature and a harrasser.

I don't underestand why pro-aborts call abortionists noble yet consider free publicity a negative.

I anticipate a good report and photos from pro-lifers of today's Hodari event.

This will be a great learning experience for the fledgling baby killers. Speaking of fledglings, these kids are young enough for Hodari to have been happy to abort them 20 years back. Who knows, maybe he aborted a sibling.

Hm. A late-term abortionist speaking at a "lunchtime seminar." Doesn't sound digestionally conducive to me.

But of all who could stomach it, I expect it would be Medical Students for Choice, the group sponsoring abortionist Alberto Hodari Friday at Wayne State University:

"Proud"? Well, I guess only future abortionists would be proud of Dr. Hodari's bloody trail of deaths, hemorrhages, hysterectomies, and, of course, drawn and quartered late-term babies.

Can you see me raising my hand in cyberspace to ask some questions of Dr. Hodari?

1. Dr. Hodari, can you explain the partial birth abortion procedure you recently argued in favor of? You said the passage of the PBA Ban forced abortionists to commit more dangerous procedures. What exactly are those? And how can abortion possibly be dangerous in safe, legal hands like yours?

2. Dr. Hodari, would you care to provide details of the abortion you committed on 15-year-old, 6 months pregnant Tamiia Russell on January 7, 2004, that resulted in her death by infection and hemmorhage? And I thought minor abortions without parental consent were illegal? Yet she got this one secretly. Did you report she had been statutorily raped by her 24-year-old boyfriend, Stacy Glenn?

There are many others, but I don't want to monopolize Q&A. Also found this:

Yes, future abortionists, you're right that "you won't get this kind of education in class," because, of course, abortionists are bottom-feeding losers who didn't pay attention in class.

[HT: Students for Life of America, which has also established a petition opposing Hodari's appearance. If he does show, I'd love to hear the place was stacked with pro-lifers.]

UPDATE, 3:50p: I'd like to type the names of WSU's Med Students for Choice in case any friends, family, dating prospects, job prospects, etc., ever google them. In that case this article will pop up and they'll know exactly what sort of person they're dealing with. They are: Kia Jones, Jonathan Oakes, Katie O'Connell, and Cynthia Velting-Kidder.

The first two paragraphs of the July 30 UPI article likely duped the vast unwashed:

Several U.S. health officials argued that the passage of the Partial Birth Abortion Act is forcing more dangerous procedures to occur.

Health officials through agencies like Michigan's WomanCare have pointed out that since the U.S. Supreme Court passed the act, they have been forced to use medical procedures that make abortions increasingly risky and painful....

Let's translate.

The "U.S. health officials"? Only one was identified: Alberto Hodari, a late-term abortionist.

The "agencies"? A group of six MI late-term abortion mills (seven in August!) named WomanCare.

Whoops. Hodari is WomanCare's "medical director," i.e., lead abortionist.

(A July 30 Detroit News article from which this piece was spawned named other "U.S. health officials" and "agencies": Renee Chelian, executive director of Northland Family Planning Centers, another group of late-term MI abortion mills; Kate Palmer, "a health care advocate at a local abortion clinic"; Janet Crepps, an attorney with the Center for Reproductive Rights; and Vicki Saporta, president of the National Abortion Federation. All unbiased, and none with self-interests, to be sure.)

The "medical procedures that make abortions increasingly risky and painful"? Injecting the heart medication Digoxin into a preborn baby's heart to cause an instant heart attack and death, which is off-label use according to the FDA.

The journalistic deception here is staggering. Not only is MSM clearly attempting to portray the PBA Ban as dangerous to the health and safety of women according to many health authorities, but also that it's all our fault.
