According to public records obtained by Operation Rescue, Cesare Santangelo’s DC medical license lapsed on June 30, 2026, and has not been renewed.
Santangelo’s late-term Washington Surgi-Center is one of about a dozen abortion clinics across the nation that offers abortions into the third trimester, and for any reason.
Despite overwhelming evidence of egregious activities and medical neglect over many years, Santangleo has avoided any real punishment or discipline, left to continue killing viable children — and at least one woman — at will.

Becket attorneys were in federal appellate court today asking the court to block a nationwide ruling that rejected the Little Sisters of the Poor’s protection from the federal government’s contraceptive mandate.
The Little Sisters have spent more than a decade defeating government efforts to force them to provide contraceptives in their healthcare plan or face tens of millions of dollars in fines. That winning streak features three Supreme Court victories, including a 2020 ruling in Little Sisters of the Poor v. Pennsylvania, which upheld the federal conscience rule that protects the Sisters from the mandate. But Pennsylvania and New Jersey are still fighting to strip the Little Sisters of that hard-won protection. Last year, a federal district court sided with the states, teeing up the Little Sisters’ latest chance to beat the government in court. ---More...
