The Abortion Evangelist (Another Late-Term Abortion Puff Piece by Newsweek)
Newsweek ^ | 8/18/09 | Sarah Kliff

Posted on 08/18/2009 11:13:58 AM PDT by TitansAFC

LeRoy Carhart is determined to train as many late-term-abortion providers as possible—or the practice just might die with him.....

Leroy Carhart was at his abortion clinic near Omaha when he got the phone call. It was Sunday morning, a little after 10, and the doctor was in surgery. He felt his cell phone vibrate. Carhart ignored it, finishing the abortion before checking his phone. The number for George Tiller's head nurse in Wichita, Kans., flashed on the screen. The timing was unusual; Carhart didn't often hear from Tiller on Sunday mornings. He thought it might have to do with a patient, maybe an emergency. But when Carhart called back, Tiller's nurse was crying. "George is dead," she told him through sobs, relaying the news that Tiller, the late-term-abortion provider, had been fatally shot at his Lutheran church.....

Yet another late-term abortion puff piece from Newsweek, lionizing yet another "heroic" Abortion doctor.

I think I'm most distrubed by the "comments" section. Is there really nobody who can give an argument against abortion without using the Bible? You'd swear that was the case...........

You telling me this guy can't murder a baby & talk a phone call at the same time? What a loser.

Why is there such a focus on Late Term or Partial Birth Abortion?

The Pro Life Movement must realize that Life begins at Conception and that a Late Term Abortion is no worse than an abortion at four weeks or the use of an IUD or birth control pill that prevents a baby “fertilized egg” from implanting.

Newsweek discusses this as casually as someone gutting fish.

I can't believe I ever subscribed to that rag.

OK I can’t type & talk on the phone at the same time.

Many of us can, it just seems the most active in the pro life movement are Christians, and them quoting scripture is like a secularist quoting the alphabet, it is where their ideas, words and thoughts spring from.

Another abortionist (from Denver, I think) paid for a full-page ad in a local paper recently. Naturally, he praised Tiller, and then went on to praise himself and Tiller as “American heroes”, and actually had the nerve to compare himself andTiller to the American soldiers who stormed the beaches of Normandy. All I could think of was how many babies he had to kill to afford a full-page ad. Not really that many, I suppose, since abortion is a very profitable racket.

Nothing like scraping out the unborn on a Sunday morning.

Christ rested on the 7th day, but abortionists cant take off, they have too many fetus’s to kill.He probably left the clinic and had communion.

The Sunday thing is irrelevant since since Christians do not perform or have abortions.

Because you have to take Paris before you take Berlin.

No, Life is absolute and when the Pro-Life Movement makes distinctions in the quantity of life, they are capitulating to the tenets of the Pro-Abortion ghouls who believe that a pre-born baby is less valuable than a child that has been born.

Your right, it’s a lot better to forgo wining any battle in the hopes we can win the war in one fell swoop. /sarc

Tell me, how many more unborn babies will die until that day hopefully comes?

By focusing on stopping late term abortion we will save thousands every year. Every new victory saves thousands more.

If we had pursued your strategy since RVW we would have won none of the victories we have won today and tens of thousands if not more would have been slaughtered. How is that “Pro-Life”?

Abortion on demand did not just happen over night, it was a secured by numerous little victories. Roe V. Wade did not just happen out of thin air.

Neither will a Human Life Amendment.

Oh Satan, please let Dr. Carhart find as many healing hands as possible to continue ripping babies from their mother's womb and ripping them apart.

To pass a Human Life Amendment, we must show that we see all human life as equal, from conception until natural death. And in the meantime, if we are going to claim that is Partial Birth abortion is somehow worse than a woman’s use of an IUD or Plan B Pill than the Pro-Life Movement will be shown to be inconsistent by favoring one life over the other.

Life is Life
Life begins at Conception
Murder is Murder

Abortion is Murder

We as a civilized nation convict and imprison those that participate in the murder of a Human.

Once the Human Life Amendment is passed, we will be able to prosecute abortionists and the women who seek to murder their children.

Boulder late term abortionist, Warren Hern??

Evil personified!

“We have reached a point in this particular technology [D&E abortion] where there is no possibility of denial of an act of destruction by the operator. It is before one’s eyes. The sensations of dismemberment flow through the forceps like an electric current.”

—Dr. Warren Hern, (late term abortionist), “What About Us? Staff Reactions to D&E,” paper presented at the annual meeting of Planned Parenthood Physicians, San Diego, CA, 1978)
