Q: "What is the distinction between what Kermit Gosnell did and what late-term abortionist LeRoy Carhart does?” - Washington Examiner Reporter

Wed, 08 May 2013 09:26:04 -0400

A: "When a procedure that usually involves the collapsing of the skull is done, it’s usually done when the fetus is still in the uterus, not when the fetus has been delivered.” That is, the baby isn’t born alive, "the fetus is traditionally euthanized [definition: 'the act of killing or permitting the death of individuals'] before that procedure is initiated” - Tracy Weitz, abortion advocate and associate professor at the University of California, San Francisco.

And that’s the only difference!?! Kermit Gosnell is on trial for murder in Philadelphia, while LeRoy Carhart, even after the death of his patient (!!), is still performing late-term abortions in Germantown, Maryland. See Washington Examiner April 16, 2013, for full Q&A transcript with audio. Also, see complete criminal trial coverage of abortionist Kermit Gosnell for the murder of seven newborn (allegedly aborted) babies and one Mom.

Carhart Patient Dead From Horrific 33-Week Abortion Injuries

Mon, 11 Feb 2013 20:30:42 -0500

Press conference held the morning of February 8th in Germantown, MD, the Maryland Coalition for Life, and Operation Rescue, and the Christian Defense Coalition, announced the death of one of Leroy Carhart’s late-term abortion patients.

February 8, 2013 By Operation Rescue

Germantown, MD – A 29-year old woman died yesterday as the result of fatal complications suffered during an abortion at 33 weeks that was done by LeRoy Carhart at Germantown Reproductive Health Center in Germantown, Maryland. Information about the incident comes from an extremely credible anonymous source.

The woman, who came for a third trimester abortion from out-of-state, arrived at GRHC on Sunday February 3rd and was seen by pro-life activists every day through Wednesday. Witnesses said she appeared “pale and weak.”

Early Thursday morning, the woman began suffering chest pain and other discomforts. Her attempts to reach Carhart were unsuccessful. The woman was taken by her family from her hotel to a nearby hospital emergency room at approximately 5:00 a.m. Efforts by hospital staff to contact Carhart or get informational assistance from the abortion clinic were unsuccessful.

Two Years of Late-Term Abortions in Germantown...

Fri, 08 Feb 2013 07:20:23 -0500

Monday, December 10, 2012 marked two years of abortionist Leroy Carhart’s presence in Germantown, Maryland (see original news report from December, 2010), where he performs 2, 3, and 4 day late term abortions (1,300 feet from a church, and 400 feet from a child care center) at 13233 Executive Park Terrace. Women from all over the east coast, as far away as Ohio, New York and South Carolina regularly come to his office to abort their 2^nd and 3^rd trimester babies. Carhart has flown to Maryland from Nebraska every week since his home state passed a "Fetal Pain Law” which outlawed abortions after 20 weeks based on evidence that unborn babies do in fact feel pain at that gestational age.

For two years, hundreds of pro life believers from many faith denominations have braved all kinds of adverse weather conditions to be voice for the voiceless and to stand as a witness to the value of human life. They can be seen weekly on Monday mornings from 8 to 10am on Wisteria Drive praying peacefully, holding signs and waving to traffic beeping in support. Not all the response is positive however, verbal harassment and ridicule is common from those who support a woman’s right to procure an abortion, even up to the moment of birth, as the law allows here in Maryland.

Mom Chooses Life in February, and Welcomes Healthy Baby Boy!

Yesterday, July 16, 2012, a healthy, 38 week baby was born to a mom who decided to choose life in February. Instead of going to Carhart’s she spoke with volunteers and decided to not abort. Yesterday she was thankful for God’s intervention. In February, she was confused, didn’t believe in abortion, but didn’t know of a different path. Today she says she is blessed with her son and will not have to regret a decision to abort. Thanks Be To God For The Gift Of LIFE!

A Letter from an Unborn Baby

Dear Friends,

I was looking forward very much to my life in this world.

I wanted to have dolls, ride a bike, go the circus, and see the zoo. I looked forward to celebrating Christmas this year.

I am very sad that I, never got to do any of these things. My parents did not let me be born.

But, I just don't understand one thing. Why didn't any of you help me? I wish you had. No one heard, my crying voice.

From,

An Unborn Baby

COME JULY 30, --A “RELIC” OF SACRED IMAGE OF OUR LADY OF GUADALUPE WILL BE PRESENT AT OUR MONDAY PRAYER VIGIL ON WISTERIA DRIVE, 8:00-10:30 AM

We urge MANY MANY to join us as we pray and honor the Mother of Our Lord who gave her "YES" to life. A “Relic” of the sacred image designed to be brought to abortion clinics will be present on July 30th. (Learn more about Our Lady of Guadalupe, the Patroness of the Unborn, in this article and video.)

The History of the “Relic” that Will be Present in Germantown, MD

On April 20, 2004, during a private solemn ceremony led by Monsignor Diego Monroy Ponce, Rector and Episcopal General of the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico City, exact size replicas of Our Lady of Guadalupe were touched to the sacred miraculous image of Our Lady left on St. Juan Diego’s tilma. The Monsignor then declared these images as the “authorized Relics of evangelization that will extend the same graces as in 1531”. These are the *same graces* that ended the human sacrifice of that time and resulted in over 8 million conversions to Christianity.

The mission to carry these “Relics” to abortion clinics began at the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico City on May 8, 2004. A mass was celebrated by Auxiliary Bishop Marcelino Hernandez, representing the Archbishop of Mexico City, Norberto Cardinal Rivera Carrera, blessing this mission to end abortion. An authorized “Relic” image of our Lady has been traveling to every abortion mill and state capital in the United States opening the divine floodgates of the same graces of conversion, truth, and healing as in 1531. This has and will continue to illuminate hearts and minds to an understanding of the truth that reveals the importance and value of every human life, from the moment of conception to a natural death and insuring that each person be given the opportunity to fulfill his/her destiny as ordained by God.

Each life is precious! Let us offer thanksgiving to Our Lord for two more babies saved this week! One mother chose life on Monday and another on Tuesday.

During a recent visit to the Gettysburg Battleground, hearts were heavy when pondering how thousands of courageous men gave their lives in those fields for the freedom of all. Their souls must now be crushed to know that their country, that they died for, now has laws encouraging the brutal murder of our children in the womb. For the sake of all who have given the ultimate sacrifice of their life for our freedom --including our right to life, let us be steadfast and courageous!

Here is an excerpt from the Gettysburg Address for your reflection...

"Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on the continent a new nation conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. .....It is for us the living rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who have fought here have so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us --that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they here gave the last full measure of devotion --that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain, that this nation under God shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth."

Due to her encounter with us, she left the facility! She contacted us and she told us tearfully, "The counselor changed my life!" Her baby is due very shortly --she is considering adoption.

December 5th News Coverage

Over 2,170 people, including 10 Pastors & Ministers and 17 Priests, were in attendance and stood for life on the morning of Monday, December 5th outside Germantown Reproductive Health Services. This memorial event marked the deaths of 720 unborn children in the one year since Leroy Carhart has been in Germantown. Because of our presence, three out of four mothers scheduled for abortions that day, chose life for their babies!

As evidence of the magnitude of the deaths, 720 crosses were placed on the side of the street by the Knights of Columbus, one for each of the babies killed by Leroy Carhart in Germantown just this past year alone.

The tremendous local turnout was a true sign of prayerful unity. Both sides of Wisteria Drive were lined men, women, and children. With schools allowing students to miss classes in order to attend, young and old alike were holding signs, praying, all with car horns honking for life as they drove by.

Speakers at the event included; Dr. Grace Morrison, Vitae Foundation, Chuck Donovan, Susan B. Anthony List, Michael Martelli, Maryland Coalition for Life, Christa Lopiccolo, Archdiocese of Washington, DC, Fr. Marcel Guarnizo, St. John Neumann Parish, Pastor Charlie Baile, Shady Grove Presbyterian Church, and Fr. Carlos Benitez, Mother Seton Parish. See videos of each speaker.
