Abortionist Carhart denied hospital privileges

Abortionist Carhart denied hospital privileges Abortionist LeRoy Carhart A request to open a late-term abortion clinic has been shot down in Wichita, Kansas. Operation Rescue's Troy Newman launched an online petition drive to convince a local hospital not to grant hospital privileges to well-known abortionist LeRoy Carhart. The answer came just a few hours later.   "We were contacted by the hospital staff and entered into some negotiations, which culminated in the acquiescence of this hospital to our agreed principle that they ought not grant hospital privileges to the notorious late-term abortionist LeRoy Carhart," Newman explains.   The pro-life leader says having hospital privileges is essential because late-term abortions too often cause complications, some of which require hospitalization. Newman is thankful for the hospital's decision.  Troy Newman "It will virtually prevent him from opening up his abortion clinic here -- and reopening up...the world's largest, most notorious abortion clinic," Newman points out. Carhart had stated his intention to reopen the abortion clinic of George Tiller, who was murdered in late May. Tiller was one of the few late-term abortionists in the country.   Now Operation Rescue is returning focus to Carhart's Nebraska clinic and asking that state's attorney general to launch an investigation.
