Another Carhart Victim Is Hospitalized In Maryland

Yesterday afternoon (June 9) an ambulance took away a woman from the Germantown Reproductive Health Services.  Unlike the previous two debacles, the woman is alive (at least she was when taken away).  Let me state for the record that most of Carhart's victims are not hospitalized.  After they are brutally murdered, they are discarded, treated as "medical wastes" without so much as a decent funeral.

Operation Rescue has more details, with video of the ambulance taking her away.  Notice that Carhart is going with them, even though he has no admitting privileges in any Maryland hospital.  Is he going simply to maintain an appearance after: 1) his absence while Jennifer Morbelli died and/or 2) the failed inspection by Maryland authorities a few months ago?  Who knows?

Tomorrow at 10:00 AM local pro-life leaders will conduct a press conference at Germantown Pregnancy Choices, 13230 Executive Park Terrace, Germantown MD.  If you can, please attend.

Meat In A Crock Pot??

That is how abortionist Leroy Carhart described a baby dying in utero (after the lethal injection) to a Live Action undercover investigator.  During the exchange he lied (of course) about Christin Gilbert and Jennifer Morbelli - two of the (known) women that died at his hand.  I'm presuming that this exchange occurred in Nebraska, as he suggests that the woman go to Maryland where the late-term procedures are legal.

I post the shorter video below.  The unedited one can be found here in two parts.  Leroy Carhart is being investigated in Maryland.  To be frank, it's rather apparent that the state of Maryland government, run by abortophiles, is dawdling and dragging its feet.  We need to keep them accountable and hold their feet to the fire.

Flushing Babies Down The Sewer

For this abortuary worker at a New York City abortuary, that is a perfectly acceptable method of disposing of murdered babies who emerge at their mothers' homes.  You'll hear this worker casually give to Lila Rose this sage advise; her nonchalance can only stem from ignorance and/or callousness.

Before I post the video, I suggest you pay special attention at the 5:23 mark, where they discuss when it might be appropriate to call a hospital.  The worker states in no uncertain terms that she is NOT supposed to  do that.  Sound familiar?  Remember Jennifer Morbelli's death?  Carhart likewise instructed her family not to contact the hospital.  Only when he himself was incommunicado did the family finally contact Shady Grove Hospital; by that time it was too late.  Also, notice the first woman started at the age of 16 (or so she says).  Did the mill have her doing any unauthorized procedures as did Gosnell?

Please share this; pass it along for the mainstream media won't.

Death Certificate Confirms Cause Of Jennifer Morbelli's Death

Operation Rescue obtained a copy of the official death certificate from the State of Maryland.  (Click this link to go to their site and see a copy).  The cause of death stems from the botched abortion.  Specifically it is "disseminated intravascular coagulation" caused by "amniotic fluid embolism following medical termination of pregnancy".

Two things to note about this:

1. This is the same cause of death for Christin Gilbert, Carhart's previous maternal fatality.
2. Had Morbelli sought treatment in time, her life might have been saved.  However, she received "instructions" that discouraged recourse to a real medical facility - and he skipped town on her.

The investigation by the State of Maryland has commenced.  We shall do what we can to allow an unhindered and expeditious investigation to occur.  When Carhart is put out of business, thousands of babies will be spared the butchery - as will some women.

State Of Maryland Starts Carhart Investigation

This past Saturday we learned that three Maryland abortuaries had their licenses suspended by the State of Maryland after long-overdue inspections revealed sub-standard conditions in all three.  Moreover, it was discovered that yet another woman died in the Baltimore mill; no doubt a contributing factor in her death was the non-functional defibrillator in that office.

Today Operation Rescue announced that the Maryland Board of Physicians has started a preliminary investigation into Leroy Carhart's Germantown practice.  The Board made this known in a letter that they sent to Operation Rescue; it can be viewed at the link above.  According to this letter, this sort of investigation can take up to six months to complete.

Through it all Carhart will be free to murder babies as usual.  One wonders why his mill isn't shut while the other three are (and I am grateful that they are closed).  In addition to his demonstrated disregard for Jennifer Morbelli, his license application contained key inaccuracies and he is already under investigation for illegal dumping of biohazards.  But perhaps this seeming disparity of treatments is not so mysterious when "connections" are considered.

Again we can thank Operation Rescue for some insight here.  Three years ago they publicized news - and photos - of a dinner that Kathleen Sebelius (then governor of Kansas) hosted for (the now deceased) George Tiller at the Governor's mansion.  Go to their account for the details - and photos.  Notice that Leroy Carhart was in attendance (he's behind Tiller here).  So there is reason to believe that there is at least an alliance if not working relationship there.  Now Sebelius is HHS Secretary and Carhart is under "investigation" in Maryland.  In Maryland's State House is another pro-abortion governor: one who has eyes set on the White House.  If that is the case, O'Malley will need lots and lots of money to campaign - and these abortionists have demonstrated willingness to "scratch backs of those who scratch theirs".  Might Sebelius have a hand here?  Why not?  They all seem to be one big happy network - much like a bunch of snakes tangled up together.  While it's just a theory, I think it quite plausible.

Maryland Delegates Call For Investigation Of Carhart

Last week seventeen members of the Maryland House of Delegates affixed their names to a letter to the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, inquiring why Leroy Carhart's license wasn't immediately suspended upon the death of Jennifer Morbelli on February 7th.

Operation Rescue has more details, including a pdf of the delegates' letter.  Recall that Carhart was awarded his license even though the Board of Physicians acknowledged the inaccuracies in his license application.  Recall also that the clinic itself received its license just a day before Morbelli's death.  The mill was never inspected, nor were the complaints (regarding disposal of bio-hazardous wastes) addressed prior to the granting of the license.

At the bottom of the OR page are some actions that can be taken by all people of good will.  For Maryland citizens, electoral action needs to be taken in 2014.  Many in Annapolis, including the entire Montgomery County delegation, are rabidly pro-abortion.  Governor O'Malley (katholyc-in-name-only) even stooped so low as to be the keynote speaker at one of MD-NARAL's recent fund-raising galas.  These people need to be handed their pink slips in November.  O'Malley won't be running as he has had his two terms, but let's face it.  Barring a miracle, the Democratic candidate will be a pro-abort and needs to be defeated.

Petition For Revocation Of Licenses Of Carhart And Germantown Death Center

Below is a link to a petition initiated by Defend Life for the revoke the Maryland license of Leroy Carhart and to suspend the license of Germantown Reproductive Health Services, Inc.  It is addressed to both the Maryland Board of Physicians and Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.  Please sign this now and pass word of this to your pro-life contacts.  They do not have to be Maryland residents to sign it.  Thank you.

http://www.change.org/petitions/revoke-carhart-s-medical-license-suspend-the-license-of-abortion-facility


Also, please call the comments line of Shady Grove Hospital at 240-826-6920 and insist that they file a formal complaint with the Maryland Board of Physicians to expose Carhart's gross callousness and incompetence.  You may well get a greeting that disavows any responsibility and states that Carhart is not affiliated with the hospital.  While that may be true, they still have a professional responsibility to alert proper authorities of malpractice evidence as it is presented to them.  It certainly was so presented on February 7th. Keep calling until you are at least able to leave a message.

See http://www.prayforgermantown.com/ for other needed steps to take.  And above all, pray to Our Lord this Lent.

MD Medical Examiner: Morbelli Died From Abortion Complications

The office Chief Medical Examiner of Maryland has released its findings regarding the death of Jennifer Morbelli on Feb 7 at the hands of Leroy Carhart.  From Operation Rescue we read that there were two causes of death:

1. amniotic fluid embolism - Amniotic fluid that was surrounding the pre-born Madison entered Jennifer's blood stream.  This inhibited the ability to clot blood, leaving her vulnerable to hemorrhaging. 
2. the profuse abdominal bleeding

She and her family most likely received Carhart's standard instructions not to consult an emergency room but rather to call his "24 hour number".  Well, it turns out that this "24-hour number" was the number to Carhart's horse show equipment business.  The family was unable to contact him; was the line engage with horse hay buyers?

While this death was ruled "natural", charges of malpractice against Carhart are most definitely not precluded.  The Montgomery County Police have opened an investigation and are awaiting the full autopsy to proceed.

Please go to the site "Pray for Germantown" to learn some action steps that we should all take to have this menace known as Leroy Carhart evicted from Maryland.

Father Guarnizo On The Killing Of Jennifer Morbelli

Father Marcel Guarnizo of the Archdiocese of Moscow (who was stationed at St John Neumann until last year) has written a piece on the latest publicized killing committed by Leroy Carhart.  Notice that I said "publicized killing"; the unpublicized killings continue to this day.  While it's not correct to call the death of Jennifer Morbelli a "murder" (for her death was not intended), the death of Madison Morbelli most certainly was a murder, as have been the deaths of over 1,300 babies since Carhart cast his foul shadow over Maryland.

Father's piece is entitled "The Heroes of Sundance", in reference to the pro-abortion propaganda movie that lionized Leroy Carhart and three other baby-killers.  Please read it and pass it along.

Carhart Situation - The Washington Post Is Concerned

Yes, indeed!  The Washington Post is concerned (VERY concerned, I tell you!) about the news relating to the botched abortion committed by Leroy Carhart in Germantown MD last week.  However, lest you think that the Washington Post, bastion of all pro-abortion proponents, is finally regaining a conscience, think again lest you be disappointed.  They're concerned, all right - but they're concerned that Carhart's despicable behavior is seeing the light of day and not being swept under the rug.

The columnist is Petula Dvorak.  Her perspective is clear.  You'll note how she refers to Madison as a "wanted baby".  As she progresses with the story and relates the discovery of Madison's problems, we see that "baby" becomes "pregnancy", as in "terminate the pregnancy".  We see how trusting she is of the various Maryland authorities:  you know, the authorities that 1) licensed the Germantown facility without even conducting an inspection and 2) awarded Carhart his Maryland medical license even though they also acknowledged the gross inaccuracies in the license application.  I am not so trusting.

The Washington Post is very concerned about HIPAA.  I'd like to see similar outrage expressed towards the Carhart clinic personnel who dumped confidential clinic information (along with biohazards) in an ordinary dumpster.  Now there's a HIPAA violation if ever there was one!  Let Dvorak wax indignant about that one, if she's so concerned about "privacy".  But I suspect we'll hear crickets, for the goal is about shutting us up and nothing else.

Carhart Instructed Patients To Avoid ER

Operation Rescue reports that in 2007, then Kansas governor Kathleen Sebelius hosted a party for George Tiller and several of his associates - including Leroy Carhart.  A photo of Carhart and Sebelius together can be seen on OR's web page.  Because of Sebelius's conduct during the investigation of Christin Gilbert's death, there is reasonable cause for concern that Sebelius might use her influential position to hinder any real investigation into the death of Jennifer Morbelli in Germantown.

Jill Stanek and others report that the Maryland AG's Environmental Crimes Unit is (finally) taking seriously the illegal dumping done by the Carhart cartel.  I myself wrote about that last July.  On Jill's blog are pictures of patient instructions that are distributed by his office.  In the middle of the first blue piece of paper you'll note that the patient who is experiencing distress is directed "not to go to the ER" but to call the staff.  Well, if someone's bleeding to death (as was Jennifer), what was "the staff" to do?  Remember - Carhart does not have hospital privileges in Maryland.  Now why, oh why, do you think that Carhart wanted no one to go to the ER?  Let me spell it out for the self-deluded who are reading this:  it's because he didn't want his bumbling incompetence to come to the attention of medical authorities.

It's reasonable to suppose that the Morbellis were given these instructions.  Did they try to comply with them?  If so, they wasted valuable time.  Perhaps Jennifer would have survived had she immediately sought competent medical treatment.

Not All Are Victims

A few months ago I went to a talk given by a fairly prominent pro-life leader.  In his talk he spoke of what he believed our attitudes towards abortion-minded people should be when we're approaching them.  With one of those attitudes I take exception.  He stated that we should be prepared to assume no malice, to presume good will and even "make excuses" for them.  He went on to say that Jesus, while being crucified, "made excuses" for His tormentors when He prayed, "Father forgive them for they know not what they do".  His analogy was flat out wrong.

Jesus never "made excuses" for His tormentors.  He, being God, had divine knowledge of what was in the hearts of those crucifying Him (see John 2:24-25).  His statement was not mere presumption but a statement of fact that only He, as the Second Person of the Trinity, could know.  I then thought of the example of Stephen, the first martyr.  When he prayed his prayer of forgiveness on the brink of his own death, he prayed, "Lord, hold not this sin against them".  Notice that Stephen acknowledged the objectively sinful nature of the evil that was being inflicted upon him.  While he didn't accuse them, neither did he presume to "make excuses".

I think this has great relevance for a troubling trend that I'm seeing among pro-life activists and leaders.  That trend is to cast all women having abortion as being strictly victims of circumstances beyond their control, be it overbearing family members, economic hardship, whatever.  Please understand - I'm sure that is true for a great many of these women - but not all.  I'm taking exception with the trend that I'm seeing of late to paint all abortion-bound people with this broad brush of victim-hood.  To illustrate, I do see way too many women walk into the mills who are obviously brow-beat by their boyfriends, parents, etc.  Yet I've seen other women bound and determined to "take care of this shit" (a direct quote) while their boyfriends are following them in tears, begging the women for the lives of their babies.

I fear that I'm seeing this broad brush being brandished in the handling of the deaths of both Jennifer Morbelli and her baby girl at the hands of Leroy Carhart.  There have been two press conferences.  In both these press conferences we see numerous references to the grief that her family is bearing (and no doubt they are) and many prayers for their solace and peace. I have heard no such prayer for their repentance for their roles in the two deaths.  Let's get real.  We're fools if we really believe that family didn't have some degree of culpability for their deaths.  The common theme of those talks is that Leroy Carhart bears sole responsibility for their deaths.  Of course he bears a majority of the blame.  But let's face this.  Carhart would not have touched Jennifer and Madison if the family never walked into his abortuary, plunked down their money and asked him to murder Madison.  He was the paid "hit-man" to be sure - but who paid him???

I was involved in a rather raucous discussion on this matter in Facebook.  Some argued that this woman must not have realized the humanity of the baby.  I find that difficult to believe.  The baby was 33 weeks along - no doubt she was kicking and moving about in Jennifer's womb.  I'm willing to bet they saw routine sonograms.  They named her Madison.  Moreover, during the week they were reporting to Carhart's office, sidewalk counselors tried to offer her and her family both offers of assistance and warning of the dangers of this procedure.  I understand from some of those counselors that they all rebuffed those warning rather angrily.  For this rejection of knowledge they now bear the ultimate consequences.

I say this not to minimize the pain that the Morbellis and McKennas are undergoing.  However, if there is to be true peace and solace, it can only come about if they face up to their own grievous roles in the debacle of last week, repent and seek out the Sacrament of Confession.  Where were the public prayers for that????  This is not "condemning" or "judging" but an attempt to acknowledge truth and not to offer false compassion rooted in sentimentality that will do nothing to restore a state of grace.  I understand that a priest was with Jennifer; I pray that she was disposed to receive absolution.

In using the "victim" language and tip-toeing around crucial spiritual issues, I suspect some are merely trying to win the sympathy of the culture at large.  Ain't gonna happen!  We cannot try to "speak their language" for when we use "their language" we adopt their thinking.  We have to define the language and the thinking.  Rather, we must preach the Gospel unabashedly rather than try to nod to political correctness.

I'll end this by linking to a story from Jill Stanek's blog about a young woman in dire circumstances who refused to be a victim - or to be seen as such.  Here is Anna.

Today's Press Conference In Germantown

A follow-up press conference was held at 11:00 am today regarding the deaths of Jennifer and Madison Morbelli.  More details were disclosed, including the delivery of the murdered Madison on Wednesday morning.  After several days of silence, the mainstream media is finding this matter difficult to ignore.  Today this article appeared in the "local" section of the Washington Post.  Of course the article has its typical pro-abortion slant, but at least they're acknowledging the existence of this situation.

Jill Stanek's blog had a write-up on the rally.  In it was listed the six action steps outlined by Michael Martelli in the video below (at the 11:00 mark).

Germantown Botched Abortion Casualty Identified

The full details, with relevant links, can be found on Jill Stanek's blog.

Her name is Jennifer McKenna Morbelli and she hailed from White Plains NY.  Her daughter's name (the intended victim of abortion) was Madison Leigh.  This baby was very much wanted, but apparently fetal anomalies were detected.  We do not yet know the nature of these anomalies.

Jill reports that sidewalk counselors verified the picture as being that of the deceased woman.  As she and her family reported to the abortuary throughout last week, sidewalk counselors repeatedly tried to warn her and her family of the dangers of this procedure and to offer them assistance.  Jennifer and her family rejected their advice - with a fair amount of hostility.  Of course that's a reaction with which I myself am all too familiar.  Sadly that rejection of pro-life advise proved to be Jennifer's undoing.

Her last name and the obituary to which Jill links both indicate that Jennifer was Catholic.  I understand that a Catholic priest was with her when she died.  I pray that she was able to make a good confession prior to her death.  If she was unable to confess, I presume Father gave her conditional absolution and I pray that she did have contrition for the sin that she undertook in taking Madison's life.

Let us also pray for repentance for Jennifer's family.  Many prayers are floating about for solace and consolation, but there can be no peace until they seek out God for that peace.  At the very least, they acquiesced to the plan to abort Madison.  I've seen enough of these situations to realize that perhaps they have driven the decision to abort.  It's unrealistic to pretend that they have no culpability whatsoever.  Only as they themselves seek His forgiveness in the Sacrament of Confession (to whatever degree is appropriate) will they find the solace and peace they need.

Finally let us pray that the Maryland Board of Physicians does its job (finally).  At the very least, they should suspend the license granted to the abortuary itself (just a day prior to the start of this incident) and Carhart's personal license (obtained with a falsified application).
