Abortionist LeRoy Carhart commits violent late-term abortions<\/a>\u00a0and has a disturbing history of health violations, gross negligence, injured patients, and cavalier statements that show what little regard he has for life. Carhart is now almost 77 years old, and in recent years, has botched numerous abortions<\/a>, killing at least one patient and injuring at least 15 over the past five years alone.\u00a0In 2016, He\u00a0stopped all abortions<\/a> at his Maryland abortion facility; less than a year later, the owner of the facility announced that he had sold the building to the Maryland Coalition for Life, forcing Carhart to close. Chelsea Souder, Carhart’s director of clinical services and communications director, said “it was a really dark time” for Carhart especially.\u00a0“My whole team was disheartened at the lengths these extremists will go to in order to limit women\u2019s ability to make their own decisions about their health and future,” Carhart wrote in an e-mail, adding that he was “heartbroken” for the women whose babies he would no longer be able to abort while his facility was closed.<\/p>\n

But within two months, Carhart had found a new facility where, according to the Huffington Post<\/a>, his abortion business is now “thriving.”\u00a0According to Souder, Carhart and his staff have seen over 500 patients in a year at his new facility.\u00a0Interestingly, the author of the HuffPo article, Catherine Pearson, argues that late-term abortions are exceedingly rare — yet they make up 75% of Carhart’s abortion business. One of Carhart’s abortionists-in-training stated, “I didn\u2019t have any exposure to third trimester abortions until I came to work at Dr. Carhart\u2019s clinic. I had been seeking more training and after spending just three weeks at the Bethesda clinic, I was able to see how huge the need is.”<\/p>\n

While Pearson acknowledges that the vast majority of Americans want late-term abortion to be illegal<\/a>, she promotes the idea that these abortions are necessary.<\/p>\n

There is never a “need” to deliberately kill children in the womb<\/a>, and this has been stated<\/a> by many medical practitioners. In the third trimester, these children are even capable of surviving outside the womb with assistance:<\/p>\n
