Dr. Larry Leeman
A pro-life group in New Mexico says it is alarmed that a physician who delivers babies at the University of New Mexico Hospital crosses town to kill babies in the womb.
Tara Shaver of Defending Life identifies the physician as Larry Leeman, whose UNM biography states that he is co-director of the Mother-Baby Unit at the hospital.
"Dr. Leeman practices the family medicine with a special interest in the care of pregnant women and newborns," the website states.
However, few people realize that Leeman performs abortions at the hospital's Center for Reproductive Health, Shaver tells OneNewsNow.
"It's the University of New Mexico's own free-standing abortion clinic," she says.
Dr. Leeman's work at the abortion clinic is not listed in his 169-word biography, though it does refer to "family planning" among his "areas of research."
"And he is also involved in training what they hope to be up-and-coming abortionists," Shaver alleges.
Shaver suggests it's hypocrisy on the part of Leeman who should be above the less educated view of life.
"They really just are living under the myth and the lie that life begins when a baby is born," says Shaver. "And it's just not scientific and it's certainly not the moral position to take, when we all know that life does begin at conception in the womb."
Shaver is hopeful there will be an opportunity for someone with a pro-life view, perhaps a pro-life physician, who sits down with Leeman "to see if he is conflicted at all."
