Queens, NY — Abortionist Robert Rho, who pleaded guilty last month to Criminal Negligent Homicide for causing the death of Jaime Morales, 30, during a botched second trimester abortion, was sentenced yesterday to serve fifteen months to four years in state prison.
Over Rho’s 23-year career as an abortionist, he committed an estimated 40,000 abortions, according to his attorney Jeff Lichtman.
But Rho was known to cut corners on abortion procedures to save time and money. His short-cuts proved fatal for Jaime Morales when she visited Rho on July 9, 2016.
Rho conducted an abortion on Morales’ 26-week baby in just one day instead of the recommended 2-3 days. Because of this, he inflicted serious internal injuries on Morales, including a perforated uterus and lacerated cervix, uterine artery, and vagina.
Instead of calling an ambulance for his hemorrhaging patient, he cinched her cervix closed to conceal the internal bleeding. Despite her drifting in and out of consciousness due to blood loss, Rho released Morales from his abortion facility. She died just hours later.
“We are very glad that Rho is going to prison. We pray he serves the full four years, but even that is a short amount of time to pay for taking Jaime Morales’ life. We wish it could have been more, especially since he remained unremorseful and arrogant throughout the trial,” said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman.
Operation Rescue reported on Rho’s trial throughout the three week proceedings, at the end of which Rho copped a plea to a lesser charge just moments before the jury verdict on a more serious charge of manslaughter was to be read. If convicted on that charge, Rho could have spent up to 15 years in prison.
After his initial arrest in October 2016, Rho surrendered his medical license and closed his Liberty Women’s Health Care abortion facility.
“We understand that Rho was hoping to open another abortion facility if he had won his court case, but now with the felony conviction and incarceration on his record, we believe it will be very difficult, if not impossible for him to do so. That means he will never again be able to hurt another woman or baby,” said Newman. “We pray that Rho’s term of incarceration will be a time of reflection that will lead him to repentance and forgiveness through Jesus Christ.”

Sad that woman died due to killing her baby
They would both be alive happy and healthy today two years later
She was lied to. They all are lied to. Safe safe safe safe safe safe safe safe safe safe safe
my ass
let’s hope he has to stay all 4 years. He deserves more for all the babies he’s murdered.
She had a Six-Month Abortion, I’m glad she is dead.
Yep, abortion is not safe!!!! It is dangerous and kills.
The other criminals are the Supreme Court judges who decided in Roe v. Wade that the murder of babies should be legal to the very day the child would have been born.
How many other mothers have died because these criminal judges did not put any limit on this carnage? With over 60,000,000 babies having been murdered by our immoral people, there must be many hundreds whom we never hear about.
26 weeks?! Not trying to defend the use of abortion, but how does someone take that long to decide they don’t want a baby?
Both HE and the dead MOTHER were and are BABY KILLERS.
Maybe not happy, but alive. If she didn’t want the baby, it could have been adopted by someone who did want it.
get a rope!!
Not prosecuted for killing babies.
I want the USA back wrote:
“Not prosecuted for killing babies.”
Yes, good point!
I would expect an abortionist to charge double. She paid for one death and got twice what she paid for.
She chose to murder her baby!
What comes around, goes around.
Absolutely right Morgana. Lied to.
There are so many more like the woman who died. Once upon a time, these blood thirsty butchers weren’t prosecuted.
4 years for every baby he aborted?
4 x 40,000 = a lot of lifetimes.
Who the hell decides they want an an abortion after being pregnant for half a year? These women are sick
It happens. I don’t get it either.
I met a person who had several abortions - the latest abortion was performed when she was 23 weeks pregnant - performed at a major state university hospital. Tax dollar funded killing-hospital.
She was breezy.
He killed almost 5 people per day, 7 days a week, for 23 years ... The mind boggles. How many Nazi death camp guards were guilty of mass murder on that scale?
