In fact, Karpen\u2019s own former clinic workers<a href=\"http:\/\/texasgosnell.com\/\">describe<\/a>\u00a0practices so cruel and inhuman that they may indicate that Karpen is\u00a0<em>even worse<\/em>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">Operation Rescue, a pro-life organization that works to expose practices that abortionists would rather keep secret, came together with other pro-life organizations to reveal the horrifying events that have been taking place inside Karpen&#8217;s abortion mill for\u00a0<em>years.<\/em>\u00a0Three of Karpen&#8217;s former employees testified to the horrors in an exclusive interview with Operation Rescue. These employees shared that when committing late-term abortions, Karpen\u00a0<em>usually <\/em>delivered the babies\u00a0alive and fully in-tact before he killed them. Note that this was not an occasional, accidental occurrence: Karpen&#8217;s habit was to deliver live babies and then kill them afterwards.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\"><!--more--> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">To a pro-lifer, there is no difference between killing a child in the womb and killing a child who is already birthed. However, in the eyes of the law, the former is called legal abortion, while the latter is considered\u00a0<em>infanticide. <\/em>Furthermore, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scribd.com\/doc\/141550822\/photos-of-babies-1-2\">photo documentation<\/a> also suggests that Karpen seems to be accustomed to take the lives of pre-born children well beyond the gestational age allowed by law, and sometimes into the third trimester. This was illegal even <em>before<\/em> the passage of HB2 further mitigated the gestational age limit earlier this year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">Despite this fact, a Houston grand jury decided today\u00a0<strong>not to indict<\/strong>\u00a0Douglas Karpen for committing infanticide and breaking other Texas laws on a regular basis. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lifenews.com\/2013\/12\/20\/grand-jury-wont-indict-abortion-doc-who-twists-off-babies-heads\/\">According to<\/a> Operation Rescue president Troy Newman,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The grand jury has essentially freed Karpen to continue to violate Texas laws and take the lives of late-term babies that the law was meant to protect.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Newman reiterated the dedication of pro-lifers to protecting women and children from the predatory practices of Douglas Karpen.
