Investigation of Capital Women’s Services: Late-Term Abortion Practices and Malpractice Claims
Capital Women’s Services – Washington, DC -INACTIVE is part of the American Women’s Services chain of abortion facilities. This facility is operated by Steven Chase Brigham.

Late-Term Abortion Advertising and Gestational Limits
This clinic advertises abortions up to 36 weeks gestation, despite terrible patient reviews on Yelp. Specifically, Capital Women's Services advertises abortions to 36 weeks on their website. This includes 2019-01-31 Alexandra DeSanctis tweets on 36-week abortions at Capital Women's Services, which includes screenshots of 1-star Yelp reviews and patient complaints. Questions have been raised over ‘horrific’ Yelp reviews of DC center advertising late-term abortions with horrific client descriptions.
Medical Direction and Corporate Transparency
Abortionist Myron Rose passed away on July 11, 2019, but retired sometime before that. However, claims on the Capital Women’s Services website that continues to list Rose as it’s Medical Director as of 1/31/2022 are completely false and have been since at least early 2019. Regarding the website bio for "Dr. M. Rose," the medical director of Capital Women's Services abortion clinic, DR. ROSE HIMSELF IS NOT PICTURED -- instead the website shows a stock photo of a young woman dressed up like a doctor.
Malpractice History and Multi-Million-Dollar Suit
In the malpractice history, the 2021 case Hemsley v. Jefferson et al was filed on September 23, 2021. Jefferson, a nurse practitioner, is accused of botching a 20.3 week abortion at Capital Care Services in Washington, DC, then transporting the patient over state lines over her objections to Maryland where she attempted to complete the abortion. This terrifying botched abortion by nurse results in multi-million-dollar suit against Brigham-connected late-term facility, seeking a $30 million judgment. Additionally, a nurse was heard on a 911 recording impersonating an injured woman’s mother to hide horrific details of a botched abortion.
