Carhart’s one-man abortion show: Who oversees patients when he’s occupied – like yesterday?
By all accounts – pro-life sidewalk observers and the clinic staff who talk to them – late-term abortionist LeRoy Carhart works solo at his Germantown, Maryland, clinic. He has no partners, no back-up.
Carhart aborts a lot of late-term mothers. He delivers a lot of dead babies.
Late-term abortions are much more complicated and risky. Most recently, Jennifer Morbelli died February 7 following the abortion of her 33-week-old daughter Madison at Carhart’s clinic.
Yesterday, another of Carhart’s patients was taken from his clinic by ambulance. This was a late-term patient on the second day of her procedure, according to pro-lifers on the ground, who also saw Carhart get in the ambulance with her…

Pro-lifers on the street observe the number of patients going in and out of Carhart’s clinic each day he’s there, which is Sunday through Wednesday. The 2-4 day procedures can begin Sunday through Tuesday. They must just all end by Wednesday. We know how many patients Carhart is juggling on the final day of their procedure, which this year has been as many as 8.
The question is, who provides medical care to the rest of Carhart’s patients when he is otherwise detained? Such as in a delivery? Or when he has left the premises, as he did yesterday?
What if Carhart is in a delivery and another mother unexpectedly delivers? Or starts hemorrhaging? Or faints? Or any one of several scenarios?
Pro-life notes indicate Carhart completed at least four late-term abortions yesterday. Who provided medical care to the other three patients while he was at the hospital with the fourth?
The question regarding Carhart is not whether he provides safe care, the question is whether any aspect of Carhart’s abortion care is safe.

I think we all know what happens when the abortionist is otherwise detained and the mother , after taking pills to induce labor, delivers her baby. They stuff the baby in a plastic bag.
“abortion care”
Now there’s an oxymoron if I’ve ever seen one.
Good point. This is nothing new. Let’s not forget that the Attorney General in Nebraska is seeking to revoke the license of Carhart’s only nurse there.
From Operation Rescue: Omaha, Nebraska – Lindsey Creekmore, a registered nurse working for late-term abortionist LeRoy Carhart in both his Bellevue, Nebraska, and Germantown, Maryland abortion clinics had had charges filed against her nursing license by Attorney General Jon Bruning who is accusing her of improperly drugging patients.
Creekmore, the only registered nurse in Carhart’s employment, is accused of incompetence and negligence for administering incorrect intravenous dosages of sedatives and a labor-inducing drug to 11 patients between January 2011 and March 2012.
The complaint also alleges that Carhart’s Bellevue abortion clinic did not provide proper staffing for women in recovery. Nebraska law states that registered nurses cannot delegate complex nursing tasks to unlicensed workers, a law that Creekmore apparently routinely violated.
Her behavior violates the scope of practice in that she acted outside the boundaries of her profession and constitutes unprofessional conduct.
“Clinic records show a significant pattern of substandard care practices that, in any surgical center, would endanger the health and safety of the public,” Bruning said in a press release issued today. “We are seeking license revocation.”
That Planned Parenthood, Wendy Davis and other pro-choice fanatics defend this kind of activity is despicable.
Disgusting.
Right, MoJoanne. That was my thought – he only has one registered nurse in his employ, she is under investigation, and she hasn’t been to the Germantown, MD office in some time. Is that not a Maryland regulation either, to have a registered nurse assisting you!?
Carhart goes to GREAT LENGTH explaining that his abortions are SAFER than a live birth because he is only concerned for her, not distracted also by a live baby…except when he’s attending to one of his multiple other patients in another room or transporting her to the hospital emergency room.
SAA5of5, I must ask, what does your name mean? I feel like it’s saying something obvious, but I can’t quite figure it out.
Hi SAA50f5
And that registered nurse looks like one of the “employees” of the chop shop next door to his Nebraska abortion rathole.
i actually dated Lindsey for about 8 months. met her in DC then moved to her home in Nebraska. I saw so many things that disgusted me. She had pictures of aborted fetuses on her cellphone. I have been in that clinic several times and know for a fact there were many other things going on with the prescription drugs there. If only i could tell my story. It was a huge mistake falling for that girl. I should have listened to family and friends when they told me.
