Leroy Carhart<\/p><\/div>\n

Late-term abortionist LeRoy Carhart has sent another patient to the hospital – the third in less than three months. An ambulance was called on\u00a0February 4 to\u00a0Carhart’s facility in Bellevue (hear\u00a0the 911 call here<\/a>), Nebraska (this patient’s health status is currently unknown) – but his Germantown, Maryland, facility has seen its share of ambulance calls as well.<\/p>\n

In fact, Operation Rescue reports<\/a> that the two other most recent emergencies occurred in Germantown on January 19, 2016, and on December 15, 2015.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

But this isn’t unusual\u00a0for Carhart, who has a history of injuring and even killing women who have come to him for late-term abortions. Operation Rescue also states that “[t]he January 19 injury in Maryland and the February 4 emergency in Nebraska combine for a total of eleven medical emergencies documented by Operation Rescue since 2012”:<\/p>\n

Carhart, according to Operation Rescue, “has no hospital privileges anywhere, and hasn\u2019t since 1982.” Perhaps this is because Carhart’s practices aren’t just questionable – they’re completely unsafe.<\/p>\n

In 2013, Live Action exposed Carhart’s abortion practices<\/a> in the InHuman video series, in which Carhart told an undercover investigator posing as a patient not to worry if she went into labor before making it to his facility – they had a plan\u00a0for this. Pro-life blogger Jill Stanek remarked<\/a> at the time:<\/p>\n

\n

If this isn\u2019t cause for an investigation by state regulators in Maryland, I don\u2019t know what is. After warning the investigator not to call 911 if she senses something amiss in her hotel room, Carhart incredibly states he sets mothers up with self-delivery packs. Completing late-term abortions in hotel rooms must certainly violate all sorts of OSHA and state health and safety laws. And how would hotels like the thought of abortions being completed on their premises?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
