At least three women died from abortions there: Chevon Williams, Regina Johnson, and Tamiia Russell. In addition, a woman known as Jessica was injured during her 23-week abortion there.

It was not just women who were treated with such disdain, but their aborted children as well. In articles for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lifenews.com\/2017\/07\/14\/clinic-that-killed-babies-in-abortions-for-over-30-years-finally-closes-down\/\">LifeNews<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/prolifeaction.org\/2014\/kalo\/\">Pro-Life Action League<\/a>, Monica Miller detailed how remains of abortion victims were found in the facility&#8217;s dumpster. When <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/texas-hearings-begin-on-humane-disposal-of-fetal-remains\/\">legislation was brought forth<\/a> to ensure fetal remains would be treated with the dignity and respect all humans deserve, <a href=\"https:\/\/broadly.vice.com\/en_us\/article\/qvdpbp\/fetus-funerals-the-dystopian-new-turn-in-the-fight-against-abortion-rights\">abortion advocates<\/a> fought\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/absurd-periods-for-pence-launched-protest-indiana-abortion-law\/\">against it.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Michigan, where Woman Care is located, has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.plannedparenthood.org\/planned-parenthood-michigan\/healthcare\/abortion-services\">pro-life laws<\/a> in place and these incidents raise questions as to whether or not abortion procedures were performed legally at the center. Concerns include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Russell was 15 when she died. The abortion which took her life (and that of her preborn child&#8217;s) at such a young age was not only tragic, it would have been illegal unless there was parental consent.<\/li>\n<li>Jessica\u2019s 23-week abortion was close to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.guttmacher.org\/state-policy\/explore\/state-policies-later-abortions\">the viability cutoff<\/a> Michigan has, highlighting <a href=\"http:\/\/www.aul.org\/womens-health-defense-actlate-term-abortion-limit\/\">the dangers of late-term abortions.<\/a> Children born at <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/?s=23+weeks\">23 weeks have survived<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>According to Miller, facility owner Jacob Kalo \u201cfailed to follow requirements related to patient signatures on ultrasound acknowledgment consent forms.\u201d He also \u201cfailed to let patients observe ultrasound images,\u201d <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kff.org\/womens-health-policy\/state-indicator\/ultrasound-requirements\/?currentTimeframe=0&amp;sortModel=%7B%22colId%22:%22Location%22,%22sort%22:%22asc%22%7D\">in violation of state law<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>And, \u201cKalo failed to have written transfer agreement with any local hospital for patients requiring Emergency Room care.\u201d If Kalo did have an agreement, the lives of the three women may have been saved.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The best things for Michigan women and their children is for Woman Care to have closed. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.operationrescue.org\/archives\/houston-abortion-facility-that-is-subject-of-criminal-referrals-is-closing-for-lease\/\">Operation Rescue notes<\/a>, however, that the center is up for lease, making it possible that another abortionist will take over.<\/p>\n<p>Notorious late-term abortionist Douglas Karpen, said to be <a href=\"http:\/\/www.texasgosnell.com\/index.aspx\">the \u201cTexas Gosnell,\u201d<\/a> performed procedures at the Texas Ambulatory Surgical Center.

However, Karpen&#8217;s methods were disturbingly similar to Gosnell. His <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/abortion-clinic-workers-share-how-babies-are-born-alive-killed\/\">nurses came forward<\/a> to describe how Karpen would allegedly murder babies born alive from late-term abortions, which were performed after the then state limit of 24-weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Karpen has a whole host of legal issues going back decades, including botched abortions and the deaths of patients, according to reports from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.texasgosnell.com\/index.aspx\">Operation Rescue<\/a>. Thanks to pro-life Texas laws known as HB 2, Karpen was unable to perform abortions when he couldn&#8217;t comply with the laws. The challenged HB 2 laws were <a href=\"http:\/\/liveactionnews.org\/breaking-u-s-supreme-court-texas\/\">struck down by the U.S. Supreme Court last year<\/a>\u00a0in the 5-3 <em>Whole Woman&#8217;s Health v. Hellerstetdt <\/em>decision.<\/p>\n<p>While Gosnell is serving a life sentence, Karpen has yet to face justice for his alleged crimes. As Operation Rescue <a href=\"http:\/\/www.operationrescue.org\/archives\/houston-abortion-facility-that-is-subject-of-criminal-referrals-is-closing-for-lease\/\">has summed up<\/a>, he:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>[&#8230;] is currently the subject of criminal referrals made to the Department of Justice and the Texas Attorney General\u2019s office by the House Select Investigative Panel on Infant Lives. [&#8230;] That report, which included a video interview of the former employees released by Life Dynamics, Inc., prompted a grand jury \u201cinvestigation\u201d that was tainted by collusion between former Harris County District Attorney Devon Anderson and Karpen\u2019s criminal defense attorney Chip Lewis.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Karpen may be retiring, though \u201cthat does not absolve him of responsibility for any crimes he may have committed,\u201d\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.operationrescue.org\/archives\/houston-abortion-facility-that-is-subject-of-criminal-referrals-is-closing-for-lease\/\">Operation Rescue president Troy Newman mentioned<\/a>, noting that \u201c[&#8230;] Texas law enforcement agencies need to rush over to his clinic as soon as possible and seize evidence before he moves out and gets rid of it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The mentioned facilities are noteworthy examples, and just as Gosnell was not an outlier, neither are these. Abortion facilities, in general, are <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/why-the-abortion-industry-cant-regulate-itself\/\">not known to be safe examples of health clinics<\/a>. Abortion advocates continue to prop them up, however,<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/pro-abortion-justices-relied-on-faulty-logic-in-abortion-decision\/\"> including pro-abortion justices on the Court<\/a>, who ignored<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/long-history-of-health-violations-at-abortion-chain-suing-over-pro-life-law\/\"> evidence<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/abortion-chain-arguing-supreme-court-known-for-dirty-equipment-untrained-staff\/\">about<\/a> Whole Woman&#8217;s Health&#8217;s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/fabulous-abortion-clinic-suing-texas-caught-using-dirty-instruments\/\">unsanitary<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.texasallianceforlife.org\/whole-womans-health-fights-hb-2s-increased-abortion-safety-standards-while-violating-current-safety-laws\/\">conditions<\/a> and allowed it to reopen.
