After several referrals from the U.S. House Select Panel on Infant Lives, the Department of Justice may at last be investigating the abortion industry. As previously reported by Live Action News, the DOJ is looking into the criminal referrals against\u00a0abortion giant Planned Parenthood.<\/a> Now, it appears the FBI may also be looking into the activities of late-term abortionist Douglas Karpen, also known as the “Texas Gosnell<\/a>.”\u00a0Fellow late-term abortionist, Kermit Gosnell, was convicted of first-degree murder<\/a> for killing babies born alive from abortion<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Pro-life group Operation Rescue received a letter from the DOJ dated May 11, 2018<\/a>, shedding some light on Karpen’s criminal referral.\u00a0The letter notes that while “the FBI does not generally comment on the status or existence of any potential investigative matters,” the referral against Karpen was “documented and forwarded to the FBI Houston Field Office for any action deemed necessary.”\u00a0This is long-awaited news, as\u00a0the criminal referral was issued by a congressional panel nearly 18 months ago, in December 2016<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The actions of Karpen came to light for many Americans in 2013, the same year Gosnell was convicted sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. He had appeared before the Texas Medical Board in 2011<\/a> following several complaints, but\u00a0the board dismissed them<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In 2013, former Karpen employees came forward<\/a> with allegations<\/a>\u00a0about Karpen’s grisly practices of committing late-term abortions, with employees stating he sliced and twisted the necks of babies born alive during abortions — injuries that can be seen in\u00a0graphic and disturbing photos<\/a>\u00a0(warning<\/span>).<\/p>\n

Many victims — nearly full-term — are seen bloodied and mutilated, and former surgical assistant Deborah Edge shared how she was at times “drenched in blood” from dismemberment abortion procedures. A D&E dismemberment abortion is seen in the video below, narrated by former abortionist, Dr. Anthony Levatino:<\/p>\n
