How Unprofessional

If you're going to make a profession of slaughtering unborn babies, you'd better be good at it, because if your only skill is murder, what do you fall back on when they revoke your license to kill?

MIRAMAR, Fla. Dec 24, 2004 — A doctor whose license was revoked for botching abortions, including leaving fetus parts inside a patient, was arrested on charges he continued to perform the procedures.

Robelto A. Osborne, 44, turned himself in to police Wednesday and was released on bond. He was charged with performing medicine without a license, a third-degree felony.

The state Department of Health contacted police about Osborne last month after receiving an anonymous tip about Osborne performing abortions at A Gyn Diagnostic Center in Miramar.

Telephone calls to the clinic rang unanswered on Friday, and Osborne does not have a listed telephone number.

He allegedly left fetus parts inside a 41-year-old woman who complained of bleeding and pain after an abortion. The woman later sought treatment at an emergency room, where doctors performed a hysterectomy and found fetus parts in her uterus, according to the state records.

Osborne also allegedly damaged the small intestine of an 18-year-old woman during a 1996 abortion, records said.
