Shock: Houston grand jury won’t indict abortionist for twisting heads off newborn babies

HOUSTON, TX, December 20, 2013 (Operation Rescue) – A Houston grand jury has refused to indict late-term abortionist Douglas Karpen after a months-long investigation into allegations of illegal late-term abortions and the killing of babies born alive at his two abortion clinics.

Three former employees – Deborah Edge, Krystal Rodriguez, and Gigi Aguliar – came forward in a videotaped statement released in May to say that Karpen regularly murdered babies born alive outside the womb, sometimes twisting the heads off newborn babies. Douglas Karpen is scot-free Douglas Karpen is scot-free

The allegations against Karpen were based on information acquired from four former Karpen employees and on photographs of dead late-term babies taken by some of the workers on their cell phones. The grisly photos showed very large aborted babies that were nearly decapitated. (You may see the photos here. WARNING: Very graphic and disturbing images.)

The informants also told Operation Rescue that Karpen routinely did abortions beyond the legal limit of 24 weeks, which seemed to be supported by the photographs.

“The refusal to indict Karpen is a gross miscarriage of justice. The grand jury has essentially freed Karpen to continue to violate Texas laws and take the lives of late-term babies that the law was meant to protect,” said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman. “It’s upsetting to know that the kind of brutality shown in the photos taken at his clinic will be allowed continue.”

Operation Rescue alleged that Karpen was murdering babies in in a similar way as convicted Pennsylvania abortion Kermit Gosnell, who was found guilty of three counts of first degree murder for intentionally killing babies born alive during late-term abortions.

“It’s simply unbelievable that a grand jury would not find that Karpen broke the law, just based on the photographic evidence alone,” Newman said. “There’s no way any reasonable person could look at the images of those abortion victims and say that nothing was done wrong. The babies’ throats were cut from ear to ear. That isn’t something that can be done inside the womb.”

Newman continued, “We are not giving up on the Karpen matter. We will continue to seek ways through the legal system to bring him to justice. This isn’t the last anyone will hear of this.”

Hmmm, and did the DA office really make much effort to indict? How much was NOT shown to the Grand Jury? Did they try to stack the Grand Jury?

Questions questions

I'll bet you can get jail time in Houston for twisting the head off a chicken you plan to eat.

Following that same theme.....

Here in Seattle, I can legally sell marijuana on January 1st.

But I will get arrested if I sell an incandescent light bulb.

RE: “Conservatives need to take Austin and Houston back. If you don’t TX will go blue.”

Looks like a lost cause.

Houston is 75% non-white, and almost majority Hispanic.

Austin is 51% non-white, plus tens of thousands of Hard Left white students and former students.

Historically, Hispanic and Black voter turnout has been very low in Texas.

The Democrat Party has vowed to change that in 2014 and 2016.

If they succeed, Texas will go Blue in 2016, no matter what Conservatives do.

They remind me of the muslims who left their ME hellholes to come here and establish the same conditions they left.

And we are foolish enough to agree.
