The Lt. Governor of Texas is today demanding an investigation of an abortion practitioner who is considered the second Kermit Gosnell.
A new video released yesterday has three former abortion clinic employees of abortion practitioner Douglas Karpen exposing horrific practices that took place at his abortion clinic.
The three informants, Deborah Edge, Gigi Aguliar, and Krystal Rodriguez, have come forward to tell of their horrific experiences working for him at one of three of his Texas abortion clinics, the Aaron Women’s Clinic in Houston. A fourth informant has co-operated with Operation Rescue, filing an affidavit about her experiences, but remains at this time anonymous.
These women brought forward evidence of illegal late-term abortions in the form of photos taken on their cell phones at the Karpen’s clinic on Schumacher Lane in Houston.
The photos were scandalous. They depicted two babies aborted well beyond the legal limit of 24 weeks in Texas. Their necks had been cut.
“The photos show babies that are huge, with gashes in their necks, indicating that these babies were likely born alive, then killed, just as Kermit Gosnell did at his ‘House of Horrors’ clinic in Philadelphia,” said Troy Newman, President of Operation Rescue. “In fact, there are numerous similarities between Karpen and the Gosnell case, including the disregarding of complaints by the authorities that allowed both men to continue their illegal operations.”
That a second Kermit Gosnell would be operating in Texas is so revolting that Lt. Governor David Dewhurst is demanding an investigation.
“In a week when serial murderer Kermit Gosnell was found guilty of killing babies, I read with disgust about the allegations of Houston-based abortionist Douglas Karpen performing illegal late-term abortions surrounded by appalling sanitary conditions in his clinic,” he said.
“The Harris County authorities should perform a full-scale investigation and take action against those who broke state law,” he added.
Dewhurt previously talked about the conviction of Gosnell, a Philadelphia-based abortion practitioner.
“The tragedies and horrors that unfolded in the offices of Dr. Kermit Gosnell justifiably shocked the nation, and a Pennsylvania jury has held him accountable for his unspeakable role in the deaths of at least three babies,” he said. “While I support a ban on all abortions except in situations that threaten the life of the mother, the gruesome and unsanitary conditions of the clinic and Dr. Gosnell’s appalling actions highlight why we must raise standards at abortion clinics and ensure that patients have ready access to hospital facilities should a grave medical emergency arise during an abortion procedure.”
The video interview of the three informants verified the worst.
“When he did an abortion, especially an over 20 week abortion, most of the time the fetus would come completely out before he cut the spinal cord or he introduced one of the instruments into the soft spot of the fetus, in order to kill the fetus,” said Deborah Edge, who worked as a surgical assistant for Karpen for about 15 years until leaving in March, 2011.
“I thought, well, it’s an abortion you know, that’s what he does, but I wasn’t aware that it was illegal…Most of the time we would see him where the fetus would come completely out and of course, the fetus would still be alive,” Edge continued.
How often did this happen?
“I think every morning I saw several, on several occasions,” she said. “If we had 20-something patients, of course ten, or twelve, or fifteen patients would be large procedures, and out of those large procedures, I’m pretty sure that I was seeing at least three or four fetuses that were completely delivered in some way or another,” said Edge, acknowledging that these babies would be alive.
She described how some babies would emerge too soon and would be alive, moving, and breathing. She also told of how Karpen would sometimes deliver the babies feet first with the toes wiggling until he stabbed them with a surgical implement. At the moment the toes would suddenly splay out before going limp. Sometimes he would kill the babies by “twisting the head off the neck,” according to Edge.
During the interview the former abortion clinic employee says: “the fetus would come completely out and of course, the fetus would still be alive” and the abortion clinic employee added “I’m talking about the whole floor dirty. I’m talking about me drenched in blood.”
One abortion clinic employee is quoted as saying, “I thought, well, it’s an abortion you know, that’s what he does, but I wasn’t aware that it was illegal. Most of the time we would see him where the fetus would come completely out and of course, the fetus would still be alive.”
“He does a lot of huge abortions. A lot of the times, we would bring the big fetus that were over age, we would re-open the bag and just look at it and be like, ‘Oh my gosh, it’s so big,” the abortion clinic staffer adds. “Sometimes he couldn’t get the fetus out. He would yank pieces – piece by piece – when they were oversize. And I’m talking about the whole floor dirty. I’m talking about me drenched in blood.”
I knew it first. I always know it first. bwa ha ha ha ha!!!!
I don’t care how desperate you are, if you do something like this you are just as guilty.
I wasn’t pinging either list for a while, wasn’t on FR much. Overload in every way, news and real actual life.
Back on the job as much as I can, now - and I always appreciate alerts.
Funny how it only bothers them when they see it.
If he does that to the baby while still in the womb, those folks don’t give it a second thought.
It’s only horrific when it’s outside the womb?
I don’t think so.
Well, ladies, welcome to what you applied for a job to do.
Must be on 59 south of Highway 6? While driving to Sugar Land from Pearland last week on the Beltway noticed a mosque under construction very near the exit to 59 from the Beltway. It’s on the north side feeder, kind of hidden between a storage rental place but the spire is quite visible.
Having a PP in Sugar Land really takes me by surprise. Lots of Hispanics moving into part of Fort Bend County as well as substantial pockets of Blacks who are primarily Democrat voters. Going to be a real challenge to keep our state Red, let alone some of our counties.
I knew it first. I always know it first. bwa ha ha ha ha!!!!

I’m not so sure. A woman with kids gets the full welfare ride. Here in PA a single woman with 4 kids would have to have a job paying $ 60,000 to equal the benefits she gets.
Pax, that was a good one!
Couldn’t help myself!
:-)
I don’t care how desperate a woman is you don’t take advantage of her this way. Don’t let Planned Parenthood get a free pass on this.
Nice to have you back. Lots of stress for conservatives with our Government going third world hellhole... but we’ll get through it... Hope all is better and calmer for you... again, nice to have you back.
Thank you - there is no other place like FR, warts and all! But warts didn’t keep me away; I just couldn’t handle all the bad news, plus I kept getting sick and my regular life was taking all my time.
I realy think this is the beginning of the end not just of this particular evil cabal, but even of the pinnacle of the commie/muzzie/fag agenda. I really do.
But also very likely a rough road between here and there; good idea to have necessities and staples on hand in case things get - rough.
I think this is likely common at every abortion clinic
You may be right. Killing is killing. I do not read graphic desciptions of aboriont, animal abuse and so on because it really makes me too sick. I just get the gist. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that I never watch movies or TV, not in many years.
You haven’t missed anything on TV and movies.
We should all be grateful that we as a nation got those harmful prayers out of the schools! They might have hurt the children! /sarc
The good that will come of this is that more people WILL become pro-life, I am sure of it.
I agree. I hope the realization of their painful deaths will be enough to convict a great majority of Americans that they have been brainwashed into a holocaust worse than the last century's. Those babies, and millions of others, gave their lives for our country, and will be honored in Heaven. I hope their prayers for us will be enough to save this nation.
