Activists
plan an aggressive challenge
Germantown, MD - Operation Rescue has
confirmed that late-term abortionist LeRoy Carhart is not in fact
opening a new clinic in Maryland as he announced, but is instead
joining up with an existing abortion business in Germantown in
order to evade a new Nebraska law that prohibits abortions past 20
weeks.
"This is not an expansion of abortion,
but a relocation of Carhart's failing late-term abortion business
in a desperate attempt to avoid financial ruin," said Operation
Rescue President Troy Newman.
Running from the law that halted his
late-term abortion business, Carhart has made an opportunistic move
to capture a portion of the abortion market vacated by the
notorious abortionist Steven Chase Brigham, whose Maryland abortion clinics
recently closed after it was discovered that he was operating a
secret illegal late-term abortion racket in Maryland.
Like Brigham, Carhart has no hospital
privileges in any state, including Maryland where he intends to
commit the risky late second and third trimester abortions at
Germantown Reproductive Health Services, located at 13233 Executive
Park Terrace.
GRHS is an affiliate of the National
Abortion Federation, a group of abortion mills that has an abysmal
record of filthy clinics and dangerous abortionists. Convicted rapist Brian Finkel, who is currently serving 34 years in
an Arizona prison for raping dozens of his abortion patients, was a
proud NAF member. (View photos of a filthy NAF abortion clinic
in Wichita, Kansas, which was
bought and closed by Operation Rescue.)
"Being an NAF affiliate only increases
our belief that conditions at the Germantown clinic are such that
the lives and health of women seeking Carhart's late-term abortion
services would be placed at even greater risk than is usual for
late-term abortions which are typically prone to complication,"
said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman.
Carhart plans to begin late-term
abortions at GRHS on December 6, 2010. Operation Rescue is working
with Maryland and Washington, D.C. pro-life groups to employ
peaceful, legal means to halt Carhart's plans to do late-term
abortions in Germantown.
