Over the last three or four weeks, Florida abortionist Kirk Brody has reportedly failed to show up and commit abortions at any of the usual All Women’s Health Center locations currently associated with him. When Michele Herzog of Pro-Life Action Ministries Central Florida took notice of this, she did a little digging and quickly found out why. Documents provided to Operation Rescue reveal Brody’s Florida license was suspended indefinitely in early September – a direct result of another suspension of his medical license in Tennessee.
In September 2024, the Tennessee Board of Medical Examiners ordered an immediate suspension of Brody’s license after reviewing evidence of unprofessional conduct, gross negligence, incompetence and other violations related to five female patients.
According to a Final Order from the Board, the initial complaint came in December 2019, stating that Brody was informing patients he would perform deliveries at Erlanger Health System in Chattanooga despite having lost his hospital privileges at that location months earlier.

The investigation that followed uncovered several shocking incidents between 2017 and 2020, including one horrific c-section during which Brody lacerated a newborn’s scalp – a cut described as “two inches deep” and “to the bone.” Other incidents included unexplained use of forceps during deliveries which resulted in second and fourth-degree vaginal lacerations and at least two instances of shoulder dystocia (when the baby’s shoulder gets stuck behind the pelvic bone).
Troy Newman, President of Operation Rescue, states, “The details of these horrible incidents highlight the brutality and violent force abortionists practice again and again as they murder child after child in the womb. Brody’s actions sound far more like someone used to dismembering babies, not delivering them.”
To have any chance at regaining his license in Tennessee, Brody is first required to pay a fine of $5,000 plus the assessed cost of prosecuting the case, a fee that can go as high as $20,000. He must also complete 90 hours of Continuing Medical Education (CME), complete a 3-day course in Medical Documentation, and appear personally before the Board.
It seems Brody failed to appear at the September hearing and tried to request a continuance that same day. The Board denied the request and declared Brody in “Default” for failing to show despite being notified by certified mail, first class mail, and email.
If Brody manages to meet all the above requirements and get his license reinstated, he will remain on probation for no less than five years, during which he will have to complete more hours of CME.
On August 8, 2025, the facts of Brody’s suspension in Tennessee came before the Florida Board of Medicine. Again, Brody failed to appear in person. According to the Final Order from this state Board, Brody was also not represented by any legal counsel.
The Board determined that discipline against Brody in Tennessee warranted, by law, discipline against him in the state of Florida. Brody was issued a letter of concern and his license was suspended until he can prove to the Board that his Tennessee license is “unencumbered and free of any limitations or restrictions on the practice of medicine.” He is also required to pay another $5,000 fine.
Newman comments, “If the Florida Board of Medicine includes probation in its definition of ‘limitations or restrictions,’ Brody should not be able to regain any sort of license in Florida for several years. That’s great news for babies in the womb. For the moment, at least, ‘Brody the Butcher’ can’t destroy any more innocent preborn lives in the state of Florida.”
Brody’s suspension also raises another pertinent question. As of 2021, Brody was listed as the Medical Director for at least five of the ten locations connected to the All Women’s Health Center (AWHC) abortion chain in Florida. At the writing of this article, Brody is even listed on Florida’s government website as “Laboratory Director” for the AWHC location in Orlando.
In order to be in compliance, state law indicates all Florida abortion clinics must designate “a medical director who is licensed to practice medicine in [Florida].”
“If Brody’ s license has been suspended since September 2025, have these clinics replaced him as medical director?” Newman asks. “Or, are they attempting to fly under the radar and continue operating illegally?”
Operation Rescue is already submitting inquiries to the appropriate licensing agency regarding Brody’s involvement as medical director at these abortion clinics.
“If his license is suspended,” Newman says, “and a new medical director is not in place, these facilities absolutely need to be investigated, and right away.”
