A Southern California abortion clinic that had long been the site of pro-life outreaches has unexpectedly closed.

The North County Women’s Medical Clinic, located in the North San Diego County community of San Marcos, was owned and operated by abortionist George Kung. Its website was quietly replaced with a message noting that the closure was effective August 1, 2015.

It is likely that Kung has taken an early retirement. He was set to retire in 2016. Kung was a well-known abortionist in the San Diego area who operated his controversial abortion business continuously since 1981.

But Kung’s dedication to providing abortions to women had limits. He once told the LA Times in 2001 that he refused to offer the RU486 abortion pill, stating, “If a patient doesn’t keep her [post-abortion] appointment … if she cramps in the middle of the night, I don’t want to deal with that. I don’t want to be responsible around the clock, seven days a week.”

Kung frequently tangled with pro-life activists in court. In 1993, he joined with fellow abortionists Bruce Tarzy and William Quisenberry to sue local activist Connie Youngkin, for costing them abortion business with her consistent presence outside their abortion facilities. All three of those abortionists have since closed their clinics.
