PLEASE PRAY FOR THIS MAN
Aging late-term abortionist LeRoy Carhart does not shy away from the fact that he is killing babies.But he tries to legitimize his life-destroying career with words like “care” and “compassion.” He even offers to allow women to cuddle with their dead baby and take their footprints before he disposes of their body.
A brochure on Carhart’s website provides details about his late-term abortion practice in Bethesda, Maryland. He touts himself as a specialist in “second and third trimester abortion care,” and advertises abortions after 28 weeks – long past the point when an unborn baby is viable.
“Abortion is the primary health care service that we provide. Dr. Carhart’s 45 plus years of dedicated experience and medical knowledge ensure that the care our patients receive is high quality, safe, and tailored to their specific health needs,” the brochure states.
A little research, however, indicates that Carhart’s practice is not safe for mothers or their unborn babies.At least two women died along with their unborn babies after abortions at his facilities.
