The historic city of Selma, Alabama\u00a0\u2014 a battleground during the Civil Rights Movement \u2014\u00a0is now reportedly abortion-free, after pro-lifers confirmed that abortionist, Samuel Lett, has ceased abortions in his illegal abortion facility.\u00a0The abortion practice\u00a0has been transformed into a weight-loss center.<\/p>\n

Under Alabama law, medical centers\u00a0that commit 10\u00a0or more abortions each month must be licensed as an abortion facility. Investigations into the\u00a0Central Alabama Women’s Clinic, which was operated by Lett, revealed that the center was committing more than the allotted amount.<\/p>\n

Leaders from\u00a0CEC For Life, Operation Rescue, Life Legal Defense Foundation, the National Black Prolife Coalition, and Created Equal have been working to raise awareness on Lett’s illegal and unethical abortion practices for nearly two years.<\/p>\n

“We are thankful that Dr. Lett has ceased abortions in Selma, as we know that this same kind of under-the-radar, illegal activity led to the horrors we saw in Kermit Gosnell’s Philadelphia clinic,” said Fr. Terry Gensemer, director of CEC For Life.<\/p>\n

Although Lett has halted abortions, the coalition is requesting state authorities to take further action against Lett’s\u00a0other illegal and unethical practices.<\/p>\n

“It took teamwork to drive abortions out of Selma,” said Troy Newman, president of Operation Rescue. “This was a fine example of what can be accomplished with the spirit of unity and cooperation.<\/p>\n

“We will continue to work together and push for complete assurance from the state that illegal abortion is dealt with in Alabama,” Newman said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
