Prenatal tests are search and destroy missions and in this case they destroyed two....

  This is another reason I hate those "search and destroy" tests called prenatal tests which is not done on women of all ages during pregnancy. A young lady at church recently asked for prayer for upcoming   ultrasound and prenatal tests. This was her first pregnancy. I went and talked to her and asked her to call me when the tests were done to let me know what they were. Since she felt free to share this prayer request with the church, I felt safe to ask her to do that. I did not want to get into it too much with her at this stage,  but mentioned that there are a large number of false positive tests and although I was sure everything would be fine, to please let me know right away. If she got bad news I wanted her not to be rushed into an emotional decision that she would regret. The news turned out to be positive.

     What is the point of these tests? To find out that perhaps the baby she was carrying was less than perfect?? And to destroy.... and in this case the mother was destroyed with her daughter. Why on earth anyone would take their wife/daughter to a Carhart facility is beyond me. But then they probably thought like so many others that these places were safe as in the safe and legal mantra.  

As I write this I cringe remembering that 19 years ago I took my own daughter to a facility that I presumed was safe since it was open. Now I know that facility is not regulated, inspected or licensed by the DOH.  That God my daughter had more courage than me and my grandson graduates from high school this year.

BREAKING: Carhart’s victims identified

I did not report on the death last week of a patient of late-term abortionist LeRoy Carhart because I did not have corroboration.
I now do.
Carhart’s alleged victims were 29-year-old Jennifer McKenna Morbelli, pictured right, and her 33-week-old preborn daughter, Madison Leigh. Read their obituary here.
My sincere sympathies go to Jennifer and Madison’s family, who is certainly suffering unimaginable grief.
I confirmed the identities of the victims through two sources. After a name ID was received from an impeccable informant, sidewalk counselors at the abortion clinic positively identified Jennifer’s obituary photo. Jennifer’s obituary also states she “passed away suddenly.”
Following is the information and timeline pieced together through those and other sources. Operation Rescue’s Cheryl Sullenger is to be commended for her work exposing this terrible tragedy.
Jennifer was married and a kindergarten teacher at Church Street Elementary School in White Plains, New York. Jennifer was carrying a wanted baby. At present her registry is still online. Very sad to view.
Approximately two weeks ago Jennifer learned her daughter suffered from fetal anomalies.
Jennifer, her husband, her parents, and her sister traveled to Carhart’s late-term Germantown Reproductive Health Services abortion clinic in Germantown, Maryland, last weekend.
Carhart began the abortion process on Sunday, February 3, in the afternoon, according to sidewalk counselors who maintain a constant presence at the clinic when it is open. They noted Jennifer appeared “very” late-term.
According to those counselors, Sunday is when Carhart kills late-term babies by lethal injection into the heart through the mothers’ abdominal wall.
Jennifer and her family returned on Monday, presumably to begin the labor induction process by insertion of laminaria or prostaglandins to dilate the cervix, and again on Tuesday.
They likely spent each night at a nearby hotel, as is the usual process for a multi-day, late-term abortion at Carhart’s Germantown clinic.
Each day sidewalk counselors noted in real-time annotations that Jennifer appeared more and more pale.
The family returned again on Wednesday, presumably for the delivery of Jennifer’s dead baby Madison, staying nine hours, an extraordinary length of time. They left at 4:35 p.m.
Carhart and his wife Mary Lou left soon afterward. The two typically fly out on Wednesday afternoons to either Indianapolis, Indiana, or Bellevue, Nebraska, to commit abortions on Thursdays. Carhart is what’s known as a “circuit rider” abortionist.
At approximately 5:00 a.m. on Thursday, February 7, Jennifer presented at Shady Grove Adventist Hospital in Rockville, Maryland, which is almost nine miles from Carhart’s clinic.
Family members told hospital personnel they had tried to reach Carhart several times, but he did not return their calls.
At approximately 9:00 a.m. Jennifer coded. She coded a total of six times before she was pronounced dead at about 10:00 a.m.
It was during this time Carhart called the hospital. He never showed up.
A medical examiner was called due to the unusual circumstance of an otherwise healthy 29-year-old suddenly dying. The examiner spend 4-1/2 hours with the patient’s chart. The Washington Post reported yesterday that both the medical examiner and Montgomery County Police Department are conducting an investigation.
Carhart’s clinic licensed the day before Morbelli died
It is not known whether the State of Maryland will close down Carhart’s mill pending these and other investigations. In November 2012 the state enacted abortion clinic regulations. Ironically, the day before Morbelli died the state licensed 17 abortion clinics, including Carhart’s, but without ever inspecting them.
After Tiller
LeRoy Carhart is likely the most prominent abortionist in America.
Carhart was the plaintiff in two U.S. Supreme Court cases, Stenberg v. Carhart in 2000, which he won and which forced the State of Nebraska to overturn its ban against partial birth abortions; and Gonzales v. Carhart in 2007, which he lost and which allowed the federal Partial-Birth Abortion Ban to stand.

Carhart is also one of four abortionists, pictured above, featured in the new documentary, After Tiller, which just received rave reviews at the Sundance Film Festival. That documentary’s credibility has now gone up in smoke.
Jennifer and her family came to Carhart for help, albeit misguided, and he destroyed them.

Politico: boasts exclusive with abortion industry with no breaking news

Politico has a puff piece with their pro abort side kicks lamenting their weak status given the loud voice of the American people in the last election.  Despite their  typical rhetoric of anti abortion vs. abortion rights advocates and boasting  that the pro aborts are giving them an exclusive before releasing their paltry analysis and excuse ridden game plans.....the article is a smile fest for  pro lifers.

They point out that pro life adovcates are pushing forward with an aggressive agenda announced publicly; taking advantage of state initiatives...OK passing law requiring women the right to be shown ultrasounds before abortions and having docs give accurate information about the picture , NE with the fetal pain law which ran late term abortionist and Tiller sidekick out of the state, saying NO to using tax $$ to pay for abortions in the new Obamacare law and making  permanent  the law known as the Hyde Amendment that bans the use of  federal  dollars for abortions instead of renewing it annually.

I found it interesting that the reporter who was spoon fed information from the abortion industry did not ask any questions or do any homework.  When discussing the NE fetal pain law  that was passed in April and went into effect in Oct. causing Carhart to pack  up his instruments and flee to other states; the industry made noises about the law being unconstitutional but have not yet challenged it .  When quizzed on why no challenge yet the  abortion industry said they don't want to publicly discuss strategy and are looking for the right case for the challenge. A little homework on behalf of the reporter would have turned up this interesting quote from the atty for Carhart.

"losing  such a challenge would risk having the court throw away the viability standard in favor of a pain standard, which could be further lowered should it be proven fetuses feel can feel pain earlier than 20 weeks."

My favorite part of the article is the abortion industry attempts to change the subject warning the new pro life majority that it is really the economy that the American people care about and if they spend too much time on social issues they may find themselves  in trouble. Yes sir, the abortion industry is concerned about the economy of their own bottom line.

AP article is clear in their bias: Abortion rights foes look to spread fetal pain law

The AP runs a piece on late term abortions that makes the authors bias quite clear.

It even starts with the title, never pro life but abortion rights foes....

No more just report the facts but they bend over to cherry pick the facts to show their bias. This report is based on the abortionist LeRay Carhart who makes a nice living off of doing late term abortions. He has to move out of NE because of the passage  of a law outlawing late term abortions due to the fetal pain factor. Shucks!! Now he is moving his butcher shops to MD, IA, and IN. They are responding by filing similar legislation in their states much to the chagrin of the abortion industry and Carhart. When asked why he does not challenge the NE law, his atty states...."losing  such a challenge would risk having the court throw away the viability standard in favor of a pain standard, which could be further lowered should it be proven fetuses feel can feel pain earlier than 20 weeks." Hmmm how interesting. They fear a challenge would bring in evidence that even lowers the age and therefore interfere with their profits.  And to make matters worse.....KY, KS, IN, IA, MD and OK are pushing lawmakers to do the same as NE. Where is the Dr. to go with his grisly tools of trade and gain a source of income?? Look for more states to put up a not welcome mat to Carhart with similar legislation.

But poor LeRoy appears to have the AP writers in his corner as they put out such dribble as....

"While some doctors contend that fetuses can feel pain after 20 weeks, the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists says it knows of no legitimate evidence showing a fetus can ever experience pain. It says a fetus’ brain begins its final stage of development between the 20th and 40th weeks of pregnancy, and that certain hormones that develop in the final trimester also must be present for it to feel pain. It’s not known exactly when those hormones form."

So let's decipher that statement. The brain begins its final stage of development at 20 weeks and the certain hormones in question that must also be present actually develop during the first trimester . So if the hormone in question develops in the first trimester and the final brain development is from 20 -40 weeks, I would say all is in place for pain to be experienced.  Now we all know the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists are never swayed by politics and their statement is pretty benign  with their no legitimate evidence. The NE courts did not concur. Just watch a sonogram of a late term abortion or ask Abby Johnson who did  or watch a good viewing of the Silent Scream and see if you can look anyone in the eye and say that statement.
