During the Kermit Gosnell trial I wrote that Gosnell was not
alone; that he is not some fringe lunatic making abortion providers look bad. I
cited two other recent situations as proof.
That blog was posted before Gosnell was found guilty of 3
counts of murder.
Now I want to draw your attention to Douglas Karpen, who in
1989 actually twisted the head off of a baby using his bare hands. This 28 week
old is known as Baby David, and the famous photograph can easily be found on
Google.
You might be thinking, “1989? That was 14 years ago!”
Exactly. And 14 years later Karpen is still performing abortions in Houston.
During that time two women have died in his office, and multiple women have
suffered injuries. And recently more complaints have come against him.
Karpen has been violating the new Texas law that requires
women to see an ultrasound image of her baby before the abortion. When he does
use ultrasound he has “falsified” the results, according to a whistleblower who
alerted authorities about the doctor’s practices.
Furthermore, she alleges that Karpen does not sterilize his
utensils in between patients, which is a common complaint as these facilities
frequently usher in one patient after another to make as much money as
possible. The whistleblower has also accused Karpen of cooking the books when
billing patients, and for not having trained staff, just like with Gosnell.
Also like Gosnell, Karpen has been performing abortions up to 4 weeks past the
Texas legal limit of 24.
Then there is LeRoy Carhart in the Omaha, Nebraska area.
Carhart was recently accused of failing to have licensed medical staff in his
clinic. His only licensed nurse is coming under fire as well. Lindsey Creekmore
has been accused of administering “incorrect
intravenous dosages of sedatives and a labor-inducing drug” to 11 women
in a year’s time.
Carhart also performs abortions in Maryland where a
33-year-old woman died from an abortion that he botched.
These cases further prove the point that abortion is not
about women’s rights, but women’s revenue. Untrained staff are cheaper than
trained staff; sterilizing equipment takes time and money; babies who survive
hurt business. Because money is at the heart of abortion, these providers break
all the rules.
And because money is at the heart of abortion, the media
ignores all these reports.

She died a death that could have been prevented had she quickly gone to an ER. Of course, her death would have been prevented had she never gone in for an abortion.
