Another Ex-Abortion Worker Comes Forward to
Allege Illegal Acts by Carhart
Another former employee of late-term abortionist LeRoy Carhart has
contacted Operation Rescue to tell of illegal acts that she witnessed
and was instructed to commit during her employment at Carhart's
Abortion and Contraception Clinic of Nebraska.
This woman, who has supplied an affidavit to Operation Rescue and
Rescue the Heartland, is the sixth woman to come forward, and the
fourth to put forward a sworn statement. Her affidavit will be
submitted to the Nebraska Attorney General's office and the Nebraska
Department of Health and Human Services, as were the previous three
affidavits.
"We want to emphasize that each of the affidavits, including this most
recent one, contain testimony of criminal violations. Therefore, we
repeat our request that the Attorney General's office conduct a careful
criminal investigation within the confines of the law, and make the
appropriate criminal charges as warranted by its investigation," said
Operation Rescue President Troy Newman. "This would be in addition to
anything that is being done by the Nebraska Department of Health and
Human Services."
The latest former abortion worker to come forward left her job
voluntarily. She told Operation Rescue that she had no medical
background but routinely assisted with surgeries, started IVs, and
dispensed medication without the proper credentials. She also indicated
that she believed that Carhart was, at times, chemically impaired while
on duty.
Operation Rescue, Nebraskans United for Life, and Rescue the Heartland
had filed a formal complaint against Carhart in July. In a letter from
the Attorney General's office, the groups were informed that the
complaint was forwarded to the DHHS for investigation to be monitored
by the Attorney General. The groups later met with Attorney General Jon
Bruning and submitted the affidavits.
"The picture these women paint of day-to-day activity at Carhart's
abortion clinic is not a pretty one. Each day that goes by is another
day when women's lives and health are placed at grave risk. Immediate
action is needed to insure that the public is protected from illegal
and unsafe practices that these women say are taking place at Carhart's
abortion clinic," said Newman.
"As with the other whistleblowers, this woman's identity will not be
released to the public for her own protection. However, she will fully
cooperate with authorities during whatever investigation might take
place."
