It's Official: Germantown Abortuary Closed AND Carhart Sues His Former Hosts

From the site prayforgermantown.com we have the official press release announcing the official closure as of Wednesday.  We also have another piece of news.  Apparently there is acrimony between Carhart and the two former owners of the Germantown mill, Todd Stave and his sister Nancy Samuels.  Carhart is suing the two siblings for custody of medical records pertaining to the women whose children were murdered at GRHS.

We believe that Carhart isn't giving up a lucrative baby-slaughter business so easily.  He probably intends to set up shop in another Maryland location, most likely Montgomery County.  Given his abysmal record at Germantown (10 ambulances, 1 maternal death) a reasonable person can surmise that those records might contain information that could be prejudicial to any attempts to get licenses and permits for a new practice.  If you read the "defendants' answer" on the OR page, the siblings seem willing to release the records, provided that they are held harmless from any liability that might otherwise result from them.

We'll have to see how that suit pans out.  Of course if Carhart resumes baby-slaughter in Maryland, we will be there as well.

Germantown Abortuary - Tax Deadbeats Too??

Well, we've seen how sloppy they are with their trash, what with all the patient data and bio-hazards that they just tossed into the dumpsters.  It just goes along with shoddy medical practices and even shoddier moral conduct.

Thanks to Jill Stanek's blog and Operation Rescue, we now see that their tax and legal filings are slip-shod as well.  Apparently they haven't filed their Maryland Personal Property Return (with the $300 fee) that was due last April.  Germantown Reproductive Health Services, Inc. (corp id# D-03146156) is NOT in good standing at this time.

The Department of Assessments and Taxation is not the only authority who does not hold them "in good standing".  Todd Stave, Nancy Stave Samuels and Leroy Carhart need to repent and leave the baby-murder business, for the Supreme Authority is watching.

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).

A Belch At The "Catholic Vote" Blog

That's the only thing I can call Mark Stricherz's post on the Catholic Vote (formerly American Papist) blog entitled "Pro-Life Activists and the Politics of Resentment".  He refers to the demonstrations staged against Todd Stave, one of the two owners (the the other being his sister) of the Germantown Reproductive Health Services baby-killing gulag in Germantown Maryland.  From the text of this post, I take it that his sole source of information is the Washington Post.  No one in their right minds holds that to be anything other than left-wing biased.  I'd go so far as to say that the Post, more and more, is dropping all pretenses of impartiality.

I submitted a comment to that post yesterday afternoon.  It doesn't appear.  Funny - no comment of mine on that blog has been published.  It's their blog so they can do whatever they wish but such suppression of my comment that does comply with their stated rules diminishes the respect that I might otherwise have for them.  However, this is why this blog exists - so that the  petulance of the Catholic Vote, Catholic Standard and others will not stifle voices of faithful Catholics who don't tow their lines.  Below (in italics) is the comment that I submitted.

Need I remind you that the Post can hardly be called "reliable" and certainly should not be one's sole source of information?  I must also take exception with your usage of the pejorative phrase "politics of resentment" when describing the pro-lifers.

If you think they “resent” something, just what do you think that is?  It's not the landlord per se that they "resent" (your term, not mine).  They are correctly upset that close to 1000 babies (to date, and counting) have been slaughtered at the Stave's place in Germantown.  They might also be a tad miffed that while they are taking a stand (with incumbent risks) and showing the truth of Stave's activities (and Stave's assault of one of them was picked up on camcorder), "armchair-generals" wag their ever-so-superior fingers at them from the comfort and safety of their computer stands.

When I wrote that, I forgot to take Stricherz to task for describing what pro-lifers did as "threats".  If his sole basis for that term is the Washington Post, I submit that he engaged in slander.  Moreover, Stave's site, Voice For Choice, links to an interview he did with Rachel Maddow.  I suggest that you watch it.  Notice at the 1:55 mark that Stave had acknowledged that the calls received were "not threatening".  That begs the question even more - where does Stricherz get the bright idea that the pro-life folks were "threatening" anybody?  I never thought I'd see the day when I'd have to give Rachel Maddow kudos instead of a Catholic blogger.  Yes, yes, I know her pro-baby-killing rants are an insult to the intelligence of the normal human being, but I do give the poor deluded dear credit where it's due.

Ostensibly Voice for Choice was started as a result of a demonstration during a parents' event at a school attended by Stave's daughter.  I wrote about that before here.  In that post I mentioned the assault on the pro-lifer allegedly committed by Stave himself.  How peculiar that Stricherz doesn't see fit to mention it - but of course he wouldn't if he relied solely on the Washington Post.  So much for "due diligence" research!

By the way - Defend Life's latest newsletter features an article about the pro-life efforts at the Germantown abortuary on pages 17-18.  On page 18 you'll see a photo of some "Voice for Choice" groupies holding a picture of Jack Ames - with Ames himself having a chuckle over it!

Todd Stave - What A Guy!!

I hope it's clear that I'm being sarcastic in the title of this post.  Todd Stave is the landlord for the condo where Germantown Reproductive Health Services murders babies.  He and his sister, Nancy Stave Samuels, are trustees of the Norma A Testamentary Trust, which owns the Germantown condo and its sister abortion mill in Hyattsville, the Prince George's Reproductive Health Services (southeast corner of Riggs Rd and University Bvld).  Both of these were founded by Todd's and Nancy's father, the late Carl Stave (I shudder to think of where he presently is).

Operation Rescue details these, along with criminal behavior allegedly perpetrated by Todd himself (as if he needs to add to the already heinous crime of directly facilitating the murders of babies).

Maryland Coalition for Life instituted a letter-writing campaign to Todd Stave, asking him to close down his abortion mills and to get out of the business that he acquired from his own abortionist father, the late Carl Stave (important note - Todd Stave himself is not an abortionist.  He does directly profit from it, vis-a-vis the real estate aspects).  At the time of this writing, the letter-writing campaign is in abeyance, pending some logistical details being finalized.  One of the details has to do with alleged threats of retaliation (for letters?  sheesh!).

Look, we understand how a man like Todd Stave might not want to be bothered!  Observe the great pains he's taken to protect his private information by ever-so-discreetly publishing it on a website with the low-key name of www.toddstave.com.  C'mon, now!  Isn't that what everbody does who wants to stay out of the limelight?  Don't believe me?  Well, what's this, then?

If there are concerns that his contact information was obtained by electronic stealth and skulking about, let the preceding paragraph put such concerns to rest.

As you read the Operation Rescue article, you'll see a video where Stave attacked a pro-life demonstrator.  The venue of that was a September 13th protest at a parents' event at Robert Frost School in Rockville MD.  LifeSite News details it here.  If you cannot see that video, please click here.  The demonstrator plans to file charges.
