“Jennifer Morbelli’s death certificate only reinforces our strong belief that the negligent actions of LeRoy Carhart caused her tragic death. We call on the authorities in Maryland to hold him accountable and prosecute him to the fullest extent of the law before he kills again,” said Newman.

Too late. Since he wasn't stopped from doing abortions, he has killed probably several babies a day since that abortion client died.

Pro-life spokespeople really need to watch language like that. Referring only to the death of the mother as killing gives the impression that he (Newman) does not really think abortion is killing. There is already a very prominent pro-abortion narrative that pro-lifers only care about forcing women to be baby machines and that they don't care about life at all--the last thing we, as pro-lifers, need is to reinforce that propaganda.

Abortion is legal killing.

All of us should be careful with our language when a baby has been aborted and the mother also dies. The focus too often is on the mother. Good reminder, Mom.

The case of trying to bring the doctor up on charges made the focus on the mother easy to slip into, since that would have been the officially illegal act.
