The office of American Women's Services, owned by Dr. Steven Chase Brigham, is located in this building at 1 Alpha Ave in Voorhees, N.J., photographed Thursday, Sept. 9, 2010. Law enforcement and health officials in two states have accused Brigham of starting late-term abortions for patients in New Jersey, then leading them in a vehicle caravan to Maryland, where a colleague then completed the procedures.
Brigham lost his medical license after the state determined his role in questionable late-term abortion practices.
These practices included starting patients' late-term abortions in New Jersey, then shuttling them to Maryland to have a doctor finish it off, skipping New Jersey's requirement for pregnancy terminations to be done in a hospital or a licensed health care facility after 14 weeks.
Brigham did not have hospital privileges at the time and is not an obstetrician or a gynecologist, NJ.com said.
Tuesday’s 24-page report noted that after losing his license, Brigham transferred ownership of American Women's Services' clinics to Vikram Kaji, it's licensed long-time medical director, who then hired Fidelity Venture Services, a management company owned by Brigham, to oversee it.
American Women's Services’ clinics are located in Elizabeth, Mount Laurel, Paramus, Phillipsburg, Toms River, Woodbridge and Voorhees, NJ.com reports.
