Live Action in Germantown!
STOP the KILLING Rally
Highlights from Inhuman: Stop the Killing Rally in Germantown, Maryland
Monday, May 20, 2013 Live Action held a rally in Germantown, Maryland outside LeRoy Carhart’s notorious abortion clinic where Jennifer Morbelli obtained the abortion of her 33-week old child where she consequently died from the procedure. This is where LeRoy Carhart weekly perpetuates grotesque and shocking activities. As illustrated in the investigative Live Action findings — even when performed according to legal standards — the abortion procedure itself is inhumanly brutal, gruesome, and nocuous, despite the abortion industry's best efforts to hide this fact. Furthermore, the adverse physical and psychological aftereffects of abortion on women are well-documented with ample evidence of the correlation between abortion and depression, suicide, future pre-term births, infertility, and even death as evidenced in the case of Mrs. Morbelli. Live Action's latest investigation has incited a rising tide of alarm and disgust at how our country treats its women and its weakest children. This rally was a call for true protection and empowerment of women, justice for Mrs. Morbelli, and the revocation of Carhart’s license to practice in Maryland.
"LeRoy Carhart (Dr. 'Crock Pot’ ?) Exposed in Undercover Sting"
May 8, 2013 - Live Action released the fourth video in its Inhuman investigation. This time, two different undercover investigators – both pregnant, one at 22 weeks and one at 24 – went into LeRoy Carhart’s late-term abortion facility in Bellevue, Nebraska. Carhart is recorded joking and laughing about the process of tearing a human child apart in the womb, as well as relaying misleading information on his involvement in the death of Jennifer Morbelli this past February.
From the press release:
When a Live Action investigator, who is 26 weeks pregnant, asks about what happens to the baby during the procedure, Dr. Carhart responds:
Dr. Carhart: It gets soft – like, mushy – so you push it through.
Woman: So what makes the baby “mushy”?
Dr. Carhart: The fact that it’s not alive for 2 or 3 days.
Woman: Oh. So I’ll have a dead baby in me?
Dr. Carhart: For 3 days, yeah… It’s like putting meat in a crock pot, okay? … It gets softer. It doesn’t get infected or–
Woman: OK, so the dead baby in me is like meat in a crock pot.
Dr. Carhart: Pretty much, yeah … in a slow cooker.
Dr. Carhart tells an undercover Live Action investigator who is 22 weeks pregnant:
"We do a shot into the fetus to end the pregnancy the first day. … Well, if everything works right, you just deliver them and they come out fine. I mean, if for some reason that doesn’t happen, then we have to take them out in pieces…"
A twenty-six-week pregnant Live Action investigator inquires what will happen in the case of complications:
Woman: But if we run into trouble … for some reason, I’m not able to deliver, you’ll be able to get it out in pieces.
Dr. Carhart: We’d take it out…
Woman: What do you use to break it up? Just–
Dr. Carhart: A whole bunch of–
Woman: You’ve got a toolkit.
Dr. Carhart: A pickaxe, a drill bit, yeah (laughs).
Carhart tells the Live Action investigator that one of his patients died of complications in the pregnancy rather than from the abortion:
We have had one woman die in the clinic, OK?… She was a lot farther along than you, but the coroner, it was reported to the coroner and everything, and they said, “yeah, she died again of complications with the pregnancy, but not from the abortion.” Everything from the abortion went fine.
It has since been confirmed that Jennifer Morbelli died due to complications in the abortion procedure performed by LeRoy Carhart.

Q: "What is the distinction between what Kermit Gosnell did and what late-term abortionist LeRoy Carhart does?” - Washington Examiner Reporter
A: "When a procedure that usually involves the collapsing of the skull is done, it’s usually done when the fetus is still in the uterus, not when the fetus has been delivered.” That is, the baby isn’t born alive, "the fetus is traditionally euthanized [definition: 'the act of killing or permitting the death of individuals'] before that procedure is initiated” - Tracy Weitz, abortion advocate and associate professor at the University of California, San Francisco.
And that’s the only difference!?! Kermit Gosnell is on trial for murder in Philadelphia, while LeRoy Carhart, even after the death of his patient (!!), is still performing late-term abortions in Germantown, Maryland. See Washington Examiner April 16, 2013, for full Q&A transcript with audio. Also, see complete criminal trial coverage of abortionist Kermit Gosnell for the murder of seven newborn (allegedly aborted) babies and one Mom.

Memorial Service Held at Carhart’s Clinic
Michael Martelli, Executive Director of the Maryland Coalition for Life
On Monday, February 11, 2013 a memorial service was held outside of Leroy Carhart’s abortion clinic in Germantown, MD in remembrance of the 29-year-old woman who was killed from an abortion that Leroy Carhart performed there the week before.
Late-term abortionist Leroy Carhart began the procedure on the 33-week old unborn child Sunday, February 3rd and concluded it Wednesday, February 6th. "State and county officials confirmed that she had visited the abortion clinic and that she died Thursday morning at Shady Grove Adventist Hospital…” (Washington Post, 2/12/13). Her death is being investigated by Maryland authorities.
Hundreds Participated in February 11th Memorial Service for Carhart’s Victims

Carhart Patient Dead From Horrific 33-Week Abortion Injuries
Press conference held the morning of February 8th in Germantown, MD, the Maryland Coalition for Life, and Operation Rescue, and the Christian Defense Coalition, announced the death of one of Leroy Carhart’s late-term abortion patients.
February 8, 2013 By Operation Rescue
Germantown, MD – A 29-year old woman died yesterday as the result of fatal complications suffered during an abortion at 33 weeks that was done by LeRoy Carhart at Germantown Reproductive Health Center in Germantown, Maryland. Information about the incident comes from an extremely credible anonymous source.
The woman, who came for a third trimester abortion from out-of-state, arrived at GRHC on Sunday February 3rd and was seen by pro-life activists every day through Wednesday. Witnesses said she appeared “pale and weak.”
Early Thursday morning, the woman began suffering chest pain and other discomforts. Her attempts to reach Carhart were unsuccessful. The woman was taken by her family from her hotel to a nearby hospital emergency room at approximately 5:00 a.m. Efforts by hospital staff to contact Carhart or get informational assistance from the abortion clinic were unsuccessful.
The patient suffered massive internal bleeding into her abdominal cavity. She slipped into a Code Blue condition approximately six times before finally succumbing to her injuries at around 9:30 a.m. The case has been placed with the Medical Examiner for further investigation.
This tragic incident ironically occurred the same day that another medical emergency took place at a New Mexico abortion clinic involving long-time Carhart associate Shelley Sella. At the time of that incident, a politically motivated Medical Board in New Mexico was voting to clear Sella of negligence charges, related to a botched third trimester abortion using the same risky late-term abortion method employed by Carhart. This dangerous out-patient abortion process includes long periods of time where the patient is unmonitored while taking strong doses of a drug that causes unpredictable and sometimes violent contractions.
“The avoidable death of this young woman dramatically illustrates the dangers of third trimester abortions that are done outside of the safety of obstetrical standards,” said Troy Newman, President of Operation Rescue and Pro-life Nation. “In 2005, Carhart was also involved in the death of Christin Gilbert, who died after a third trimester abortion in Wichita, Kansas. It is time for medical boards to put an end to these horrifically dangerous and barbaric third trimester abortions. If they do not, we can only expect Carhart and his associates to send more women to the morgue.”

Two Years of Late-Term Abortions in Germantown...
Monday, December 10, 2012 marked two years of abortionist Leroy Carhart’s presence in Germantown, Maryland (see original news report from December, 2010), where he performs 2, 3, and 4 day late term abortions (1,300 feet from a church, and 400 feet from a child care center) at 13233 Executive Park Terrace. Women from all over the east coast, as far away as Ohio, New York and South Carolina regularly come to his office to abort their 2nd and 3rd trimester babies. Carhart has flown to Maryland from Nebraska every week since his home state passed a "Fetal Pain Law” which outlawed abortions after 20 weeks based on evidence that unborn babies do in fact feel pain at that gestational age.
For two years, hundreds of pro life believers from many faith denominations have braved all kinds of adverse weather conditions to be voice for the voiceless and to stand as a witness to the value of human life. They can be seen weekly on Monday mornings from 8 to 10am on Wisteria Drive praying peacefully, holding signs and waving to traffic beeping in support. Not all the response is positive however, verbal harassment and ridicule is common from those who support a woman’s right to procure an abortion, even up to the moment of birth, as the law allows here in Maryland.
Unfortunately, it is estimated that more than 1,300 abortions have been performed during these two years, many on women clearly in the late stages of pregnancy. But, the good news is that as the prayerful presence continued over the months following Carhart’s arrival, a coordinated effort to help the women and provide alternatives to abortion has arisen from the community. There is now a team of sidewalk counselors present in front of Carhart’s office at critical times that offer help and options to women who are seeking abortions there. Their conservative estimate is that over the last year or so, 75 women have changed their minds and kept their babies.
Germantown Pregnancy Choices (GPC) is a pro-life resource and referral office directly across the parking lot from the clinic. It opened in April of 2011 in direct response to the late term abortion clinic. GPC is sponsored by the Maryland Coalition for Life. Staffed entirely by volunteers from local churches in the Germantown area, GPC serves the needs of women seeking assistance or information to continue their pregnancy.
Pro-lifers on the street in Germantown have been blessed to meet and hold several of these children after they were born as their mothers brought them to visit on Monday mornings and share their gratitude that they were intercepted before going into the abortion clinic.
In addition to the regular Monday morning witnesses, Wisteria Drive has been the site of multiple 40 Days for Life events where Christians from numerous local churches pray on the sidewalk to end abortion from 6am to 12 Midnight continuously for 40 days. This national movement has spread quickly across the globe as people of Faith respond to the call to support and stand for the Culture of Life in order to defeat the ongoing negative impact of abortion on women and families in our community. The next “40 Days” in Germantown will coincide with Lent and starts on February 13, 2013.
Hopes of closing Carhart’s clinic are fueling the prayers and sacrifices of many lay faithful and local clergy as well. The community response in the last two years has been fruitful and widespread as Christians unite to confront this darkness.

Mom Chooses Life in February, and Welcomes Healthy Baby Boy!
Yesterday, July 16, 2012, a healthy, 38 week baby was born to a mom who decided to choose life in February. Instead of going to Carhart’s she spoke with volunteers and decided to not abort. Yesterday she was thankful for God’s intervention. In February, she was confused, didn’t believe in abortion, but didn’t know of a different path. Today she says she is blessed with her son and will not have to regret a decision to abort. Thanks Be To God For The Gift Of LIFE!

A Letter from an Unborn Baby
Dear Friends,
I was looking forward very much to my life in this world.
I wanted to have dolls, ride a bike, go the circus, and see the zoo. I looked forward to celebrating Christmas this year.
I am very sad that I, never got to do any of these things. My parents did not let me be born.
But, I just don't understand one thing. Why didn't any of you help me? I wish you had. No one heard, my crying voice.
From,
An Unborn Baby

COME JULY 30, --A “RELIC” OF SACRED IMAGE OF OUR LADY OF GUADALUPE WILL BE PRESENT AT OUR MONDAY PRAYER VIGIL ON WISTERIA DRIVE, 8:00-10:30 AM
We urge MANY MANY to join us as we pray and honor the Mother of Our Lord who gave her "YES" to life. A “Relic” of the sacred image designed to be brought to abortion clinics will be present on July 30th. (Learn more about Our Lady of Guadalupe, the Patroness of the Unborn, in this article and video.)
The History of the “Relic” that Will be Present in Germantown, MD
On April 20, 2004, during a private solemn ceremony led by Monsignor Diego Monroy Ponce, Rector and Episcopal General of the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico City, exact size replicas of Our Lady of Guadalupe were touched to the sacred miraculous image of Our Lady left on St. Juan Diego’s tilma. The Monsignor then declared these images as the “authorized Relics of evangelization that will extend the same graces as in 1531”. These are the *same graces* that ended the human sacrifice of that time and resulted in over 8 million conversions to Christianity.
The mission to carry these “Relics” to abortion clinics began at the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico City on May 8, 2004. A mass was celebrated by Auxiliary Bishop Marcelino Hernandez, representing the Archbishop of Mexico City, Norberto Cardinal Rivera Carrera, blessing this mission to end abortion. An authorized “Relic” image of our Lady has been traveling to every abortion mill and state capital in the United States opening the divine floodgates of the same graces of conversion, truth, and healing as in 1531. This has and will continue to illuminate hearts and minds to an understanding of the truth that reveals the importance and value of every human life, from the moment of conception to a natural death and insuring that each person be given the opportunity to fulfill his/her destiny as ordained by God.

Each life is precious! Let us offer thanksgiving to Our Lord for two more babies saved this week! One mother chose life on Monday and another on Tuesday.
During a recent visit to the Gettysburg Battleground, hearts were heavy when pondering how thousands of courageous men gave their lives in those fields for the freedom of all. Their souls must now be crushed to know that their country, that they died for, now has laws encouraging the brutal murder of our children in the womb. For the sake of all who have given the ultimate sacrifice of their life for our freedom --including our right to life, let us be steadfast and courageous!
Here is an excerpt from the Gettysburg Address for your reflection...
"Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on the continent a new nation conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. .....It is for us the living rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who have fought here have so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us --that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they here gave the last full measure of devotion --that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain, that this nation under God shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth."
February 19, 2012

January 27, 2012 - A Child is Born...
With great JOY, we give thanks to God for the arrival of a healthy baby boy, Christian Miles --born January 27! Due to our presence on a Monday morning, his mother chose life for her baby! This child and mother are another confirmation as to why we MUST persevere. His mother is deeply grateful that we were there --bless you all!
Because of you and his Mother, this child was saved from the destroying hands of Leroy Carhart.
Proof that life is precious!

Rejoice! We received great news of another mother we counseled in the parking lot on a Monday AM in late-October who went into see Carhart for a scheduled abortion. Due to her encounter with us, she left the facility! She contacted us and she told us tearfully, "The counselor changed my life!" Her baby is due very shortly --she is considering adoption.
Again Rejoice! On Tuesday, Dececember 20th we counseled another mother before she entered Carhart's facility; she too left the facility and is choosing life for her baby!!!

December 5th News Coverage
Over 2,170 people, including 10 Pastors & Ministers and 17 Priests, were in attendance and stood for life on the morning of Monday, December 5th outside Germantown Reproductive Health Services. This memorial event marked the deaths of 720 unborn children in the one year since Leroy Carhart has been in Germantown. Because of our presence, three out of four mothers scheduled for abortions that day, chose life for their babies!
As evidence of the magnitude of the deaths, 720 crosses were placed on the side of the street by the Knights of Columbus, one for each of the babies killed by Leroy Carhart in Germantown just this past year alone.
The tremendous local turnout was a true sign of prayerful unity. Both sides of Wisteria Drive were lined men, women, and children. With schools allowing students to miss classes in order to attend, young and old alike were holding signs, praying, all with car horns honking for life as they drove by.
Speakers at the event included; Dr. Grace Morrison, Vitae Foundation, Chuck Donovan, Susan B. Anthony List, Michael Martelli, Maryland Coalition for Life, Christa Lopiccolo, Archdiocese of Washington, DC, Fr. Marcel Guarnizo, St. John Neumann Parish, Pastor Charlie Baile, Shady Grove Presbyterian Church, and Fr. Carlos Benitez, Mother Seton Parish. See videos of each speaker.
Below is a slide show and video of the event.
