Dr. Richard Grossman M.D. is the only abortionist in over 200 miles, and he's not shy about publicly touting his grisly profession.
Every Wednesday of every week, Dr. Grossman kills children at the Durango Planned Parenthood. He charges a sliding scale based on the age of the child. For killing a child of 5-11 weeks he charges $425, 12-13 weeks $515, 14-15 weeks $780, and 16-17 weeks costs $880.
Pictures of what each of these children look like after they are aborted at these different stages of development can be seen here.
I first learned of Dr. Grossman, on Wednesday, Novemeber 18, 2009. I was participating in a vigil outside the abortuary that was organized by Life Guard of La Plata, a Catholic non-profit organization that helps mothers in crisis pregnancies. During this vigil, pro-lifers told me about Dr. Grossman.
I already knew what abortionists do, and I was saddened to see approximately six young ladies escorted in to participate in the killing of their children. What I wasn't ready for was to learn what Dr. Grossman did on the other days when he wasn't killing children.
Dr. Grossman worked, and still works at a Catholic hospital, Mercy Regional Medical Center, as a staff physician with full medical privileges!
Here is a man that kills children once a week, and he is employed by a hospital that is supposed to share my belief that what he does is murder? What in the world was going on? I immediately fired off an email to my Bishops.
Despite repeated entreaties to my Bishops, I have not learned of any action being taken to end this scandalous situation. I have since learned that local pro-life activists (Catholic and Protestant) have been trying to get the Catholic church to step in and stop Dr. Grossman for at least three years!
It should be noted, that while I realize that it is scandalous to point out this ongoing situation within the Catholic church, it is a much more egregious scandal to let it continue unaddressed.
Dr. Grossman would not be able to financially maintain himself on what he earns killing children one day a week. Does this not make Mercy Hospital in Durango and the Catholic Church a material facilitator to the killing? In effect, the Catholic Church, Mercy Hospital, and the Catholic Health Initiatives (based in Denver) are subsidizing abortion services in the Four Corners area.
If that were not bad enough, and it is, Dr. Grossman openly promotes eugenics in his regular column for the local Durango newspaper, the Durango Herald in a column entitled Population Matters.
It seems that the Catholic church is not capable of putting a stop to Dr. Grossman's evil audacity. The reason, according to local activists, is that the hospital and the church fear federal employement discrimination lawsuits. There is, however, a valid basis to believe that this Catholic hospital would be within its right to fire a murderer such as Dr. Grossman, although it is more likely that the church would lose a lawsuit from Dr. Grossman.
When it comes down to it what makes a church like the Catholic church great is its claim to be the repository of the Truth, not the health of its bank accounts.
In an age when the Catholic church is sued on an almost daily basis, wouldn't it be refreshing if the church were sued for preventing child killing at its hospitals instead of for allowing children to be molested.
I for one would welcome the fight. In the meantime I will be helping activists in the Durango area protest, not only at the abortuary, but at the Catholic hospital that makes it possible for Dr. Grossman to kill children and still make a good living.
Freep-mail me to get on or off my pro-life and Catholic List:
Please ping me to note-worthy Pro-Life or Catholic threads, or other threads of general interest.
I don’t think Bishops actually have any control over most so-called Catholic hospitals.
What a piece of greedy, human debris this maggot is.
What, Henry the VIIIth is in charge? No, if they are Catholic, the Bishop has a great deal to say.
“He charges a sliding scale based on the age of the child. For killing a child of 5-11 weeks he charges $425, 12-13 weeks $515, 14-15 weeks $780, and 16-17 weeks costs $880.”

Yes, the secular government has more say over hospitals than the Church in America.
“No, if they are Catholic, the Bishop has a great deal to say.”
I don’t think so. If that were the case then why did Bishop Olmstead have to excommunicate a hospital nun recently?
Psychopath.
” If that were the case then why did Bishop Olmstead have to excommunicate a hospital nun recently?”
He did not. She did it to herself.
Well, true, but the bishop felt compelled to make a public statement about it. I don’t think bishops have much real control over most Catholic hospitals - just like with Catholic universities.
The hospitals here in the Austin, TX. area are run by the Sisters of Charity. IICR

Spot on. I wonder what he charges for a 1-year old. Think he offers a discount for blacks and other non-Aryan races to encourage greater use of his services among such genetically defective groups?
Perfect allusion. We should be using that name more often. Of course, we’ll be found guilty of a hate-crime; but it’s worth it. The irony is that the Nazis truly believed they were refining the race, not that that’s a defense. But what’s his defense? This guy doesn’t care WHOM he aborts; they’re all subhuman. And HE’s protected by U. S. Law.
The Devil has not yet developed a punishment in Hell suitable for this person. He has shown by his actions that he is not a member of H. Sapien. Perhaps he is related to sharks.
I don't understand this statement. Why would it be scandalous to point out this situation?
Anybody?
Not true. A nun was just excommunicated here in Phoenix over abortion. http://www.catholicsun.org/2010/may/18/NUN-EXCOMMUNICATED.html
Not really. I said much of the same thing, but really she excommunicated herself. And that excommunication doesn’t show that the bishop has any control over the hospital. And even if Olmstead does have control over one hospital, it doesn’t mean all bishops have control over all Catholic hospitals.
kinda hypocritical though ain’t it
Scandal in the Catholic meaning of the word.
