Not just any late-term abortionist, either, but LeRoy Carhart, one of the most celebrated of his profession. Carhart has been featured in pro-abortion literature and film and appeared on television — or at least he used to make those appearances, until a woman died after one of his abortions earlier this year. Live Action sent two undercover reporters into Carhart’s clinic. Both were told that the baby would be killed within the womb and left there for two or three days, which would make the baby like “meat in a crock pot.”
From the detailed Live Action report on their Carhart investigation:
"He casually described the abortion as a “shot into the fetus” to ensure that “[i]t’ll be dead for two days before you deliver it.” He told her the injection also causes the baby to “[get] soft, like mushy [makes squishing sound], so you push it through… so it’s like putting meat in a crock pot.” If this method is unsuccessful, he would have to remove the baby “in pieces,” using, he joked, “a pickaxe, a drill bit.”
"Both investigators asked if Carhart’s abortions “hurt” the babies. He replied by arbitrarily inventing his own parameters for when a fetus feels pain. “so, after about two to three weeks after birth… I think then they have pretty good knowledge of pain, but before that I’m not so sure that they do.” In fact, there is wide consensus in the scientific community that babies feel acute pain by 20 weeks of gestation."
Carhart wasn’t exactly honest about the risk of his procedure, either:
"Finally, Carhart blatantly lied to both our investigators about the danger of his abortions, coercing his patients into a risky procedure. “I’ve never had to send anybody to the hospital.” Less than a year before, his staff were forced to call 911 after he injured a woman in an abortion. Our second investigator asked Carhart if she should call an ambulance if she goes into labor in her hotel room. With callous disregard for her safety, Carhart replied, “…don’t call 911… you’re gonna be within 10 minutes or 15 minutes of a clinic, just get in the car. Call me.”
"Just six weeks earlier, he had ignored his patient Jennifer Morbelli’s attempts to contact him before she went into cardiac arrest and died at the local hospital. More injuries probably remain undocumented, as Carhart instructs his patients, “If you feel that something is wrong and you need to be seen do not go to the ER, call and we will meet you at the clinic.” He would rather endanger his patients than reveal his malpractice to emergency physicians."
I was born with a bilateral clef lip and palate.
Once a doctor told my mom that babies don’t feel pain before one of my first surgeries.
We chose another doctor.
Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, a longtime supporter of Planned Parenthood who once dined with late-term abortionist George Tiller in the Kansas mansion while governor of the state, said on Tuesday “keeping children safe” is society’s “most fundamental task.”
Can’t believe that the Courts (Supreme Court) does not act to prevent abortion when all the facts are known. The are willingly turning a blind eye to murder and calling it choice!
We will pay for this in the long run...
yes we will
I'm pretty sure that we are paying for it right now.
Thanks for posting this article.
Because we sure won’t see this on OPRAH.
Ah, yes we are but it will only get worse!
