New Stanek WND.com column, “Thankful for… a late-term abortionist”
Well, I never thought I’d be saying thanks to Nebraska abortionist LeRoy Carhart for attempting to expand his late-term abortion cartel, but that’s exactly what I’m here to do.
Iowa’s incoming pro-life Republican speaker of the House, Kraig Paulsen, noted on Iowa Public Television Nov. 20 that while abortion was not much of a topic on the campaign trail, Carhart’s Nov. 9 announcement that he was planning to open up shop in Council Bluffs “really elevated the whole discussion.”
Or, as the Des Moines Register put it, Carhart “pushed the issue, Paulsen said.”

Yes, Carhart fleeing Nebraska has galvanized pro-lifers in Iowa, Indiana and Maryland to keep their States from being centers of later abortions. We also know that there are at least 140 abortionists around the country who do abortions in the fifth and sixth months so Nebraska’s unborn baby pain ban should and most likely will be tried in many other States. Interesting as you note Jill, that Carhart was the impetus for the eventual upholding of the federal Partial Birth Abortion. His desire to be the poster boy for later abortions is greatly impacting the debate. By the way, Nebraska has had an “F” from NARAL for years and we’re proud of it!
