But We Need Your Help To Do It!
(A special message from Troy Newman)

Dear Friends of Life,

I have never been so excited about anything in my life!

At last we have a sure-fire way to put abortionists out of business—peacefully, legally, and very quickly!

And frankly, I’m surprised we hadn’t come up with this idea a long time ago!

Actually, my staff and I have been working on it for quite a long time—testing it, perfecting it, and proving its effectiveness.

What is it?

Quite simply, it’s a way to turn the abortion industry against itself—and use their “dirty little secrets” to literally force them out of business in no time!

Let me explain…

Ever since we at Operation Rescue started investigating abortionists for the crimes they commit on a regular basis, we’ve been able to achieve victory over no less than 30 of these scandalous baby-killers.

What kind of “victory”?

It comes in many forms, actually.

In some cases, we’ve had their medical licenses revoked—so they can no longer kill babies or harm women.

In other cases, criminal charges and/or malpractice lawsuits were filed.

Many times, the abortionists have gone to prison for their crimes.

Other times, they simply close their killing centers and quit their dirty business for good.

But in every case, the net result is the same…

Why, in one case, we even purchased the building that housed an abortion mill—and then kicked the baby-killers out on their ear!

That building is now Operation Rescue’s National Headquarters—after we had it purged of any demons and blessed by clergy, of course.

My point is, we’ve been very successful in stopping abortionists and putting them out of business.

And we do it peacefully, legally, and very swiftly.

The key is finding out what crimes are being committed inside the abortion mills… and then getting the abortionists prosecuted for those crimes. Read the rest of this entry »

Lincoln, NE – A bill in Nebraska that would ban nearly all abortions after 20 weeks has advanced out of the Judicial Committee by a vote of 5-3 vote. LB 1103 would ban the abortions at the time when many experts believe that the pre-born baby can feel pain.

Speaker of the Legislature Mike Flood introduced the bill in response to statements made by late-term abortionist LeRoy Carhart that he would be doing late second and third trimester abortions at his Bellevue, Nebraska, abortion clinic in the wake of the closure of the infamous Women’s Health Care Services (WHCS) in Wichita, Kansas, where Carhart had been employed.

LB 1103 has stirred controversy because it lacks a mental health exception. However, Operation Rescue applauded the Nebraska legislature for not including that loophole, since abortionists have used such exceptions in other states to commit late-term abortions for frivolous reasons.

Operation Rescue noted that in Kansas, every late-term abortion committed at WHCS was for ‘mental health’ exceptions that included such petty reasons as the women would not be able to attend rock concerts, rodeos, or buy a new computer if they continued their pregnancies. The state had no record of any late-term abortions being done to save the mother’s life or even protect her physical health.

“Post-viability abortions are more about money than about anything else. We have seen late-term fees charged, based on gestational age from $5,000-20,000 per abortion. It is a very lucrative business,” said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman, whose group is headquartered in Wichita.

“The mental health exception is simply a ruse so that abortionists like Carhart can commit abortions at any age of gestation for any reason,” said Newman. “We have every confidence that if this Nebraska ban on late-term abortions is litigated to the U.S. Supreme Court that it will prevail.”

Operation Rescue has worked to expose Carhart’s often bumbling abortion business and dilapidated conditions at his Bellevue clinic. Since then the clinic has been painted, an cosmetic effort that OR called akin to putting “lipstick on a pig.” OR also worked with Nebraska groups to file complaints against Carhart and have submitted affidavits to the State Attorney General from former Carhart employees who allege he has been engaged in criminal and dangerous conduct at his abortion business.

Shocking information on decades of abuses prompts call for greater oversight of troubled abortion industry nationwide. Read about what you can do below!

Philadelphia, PA – More details are emerging about Philadelphia abortionist Kermit Gosnell, whose license was suspended Monday after authorities investigating an abortion death discovered dozens of fetal remains and “deplorable and unsanitary” conditions at his seedy abortion clinic.

“Every time I go to the Internet, I find another horror story about this guy,” said Operation Rescue Senior Policy Advisor Cheryl Sullenger. “The story keeps getting worse, as we have found so many times doing our own investigations of abortionists across the nation. It is chilling to think of how many abortionists like Gosnell are out there that have not yet been exposed because of a general lack of oversight. The authorities just are not checking up on the abortion industry, unless something really bad happens to surface, as in this case. But what we do hear about is just the tip of the iceberg.”

Gosnell’s recent troubles began when he killed Karnamaya Mongar, 41, on November 20, 2009, after she was overdosed on painkillers during an abortion in her 18th or 19th week of pregnancy. Some of the medication was illegally administered by an unlicensed worker, according to Gosnell’s suspension order. Mongar’s brother, Dambher Ghalley, told reporters that Gosnell’s abortion clinic was “dirty and bloody.”

But Mongar’s death was not the first for Gosnell. Semika Shirelle Shaw was killed in March, 2000; two days after Gosnell perforated her uterus during an abortion. She developed sepsis and died, leaving two children motherless. A lawsuit was settled for an undisclosed amount two years later.

Marie Smith is lucky to be alive after having had a botched abortion by Gosnell in 1999. She developed a high fever and slipped into unconsciousness a week after her abortion. She was rushed to the hospital where the source of her condition was confirmed.

“They showed me X-rays and said he [Gosnell] left an arm and a leg inside me,” Smith told a reporter. “I almost died. I thought he knew what he was doing, but I guess I was wrong.”

In fact, Gosnell has been named in over 40 lawsuits in the past twenty years.

One of those suits involved Dana Haynes, who had an abortion by Gosnell in November, 2006. Haynes alleges that Gosnell lacerated her uterus, cervix and her small bowel during the abortion.

Then there was the illegal abortion of 13-year old Malina Williams, who says she obtained an abortion by Gosnell without the required parental consent. Williams, now 32, told reporters that she could see bottles of jars filled with the remains of “little babies” and that after her abortion “she saw Gosnell cradling a bottle that contained the remains of her fetus.”

But Gosnell’s troubles actually reach back 38 years when he was involved in what became known as the “super coil fiasco.” To make a statement about abortion, a California abortion activist named Harvey Karman assembled 15 low-income women in their second trimester of pregnancy, and put them on a bus from Chicago to Philadelphia on Mother’s Day weekend, 1972, where Gosnell would conduct experimental “super coil” abortions on them. Gosnell, who was operating an illegal abortion mill at the time, inserted plastic coils invented by Karman into the uteri of the pregnant women. The experiment went awry, and nine of the fifteen women suffered serious complications, including hemorrhage, infections, retained fetal body parts, a perforated uterus, and one hysterectomy.

Instead of “revolutionizing” second trimester abortions, the botched experiment on unsuspecting women led to a Federal investigation that changed the protocols for testing future abortion devices. However, the investigation did not adequately remove Gosnell as a threat to women, and the reforms were shallow.

“How Gosnell has hung on to his license all these years with his history is a testament to how little abortion clinics are monitored by authorities,” said Sullenger. “If abortion clinics were inspected half as often as the local McDonald’s Restaurant, there would be no abortion clinics left open in the U.S. It really is that bad.”

Even the National Abortion Federation’s president, Vicki Saporta, has weighed in on Gosnell’s house of horrors.

“There are places that operate in low-income areas and prey on low-income women, students, immigrant populations who may not even know that abortion is legal in this country. Women need to know that there’s no reason, no matter their socioeconomic status, for them not to have access to the highest quality care,” she said.

“If Ms. Saporta really believes that, she should close her NAF affiliated abortion clinics immediately,” said Sullenger. “NAF clinics are among the worst offenders when it comes to filthy conditions and abortionists who do not keep the law, and are not better than Gosnell’s mill. We know because we bought and closed an NAF abortion clinic in Wichita, and we had to gut the building down to the studs and cinder block to get rid of the filth.”

It is groups like the NAF that fight abortion oversight and compliance with even the most basic safety standards that are responsible for today’s shamefully dangerous abortion cartel that operates with a “can’t touch me” above-the-law attitude to the detriment of women they pretend to serve.

“Saporta’s crocodile tears cannot deflect the truth that deplorably filthy abortion clinics run by incompetent abortionists have created a health crisis in this country that is costing the lives and health of women and their pre-born babies,” said Sullenger. “We pray that the exposure Gosnell has received will lead authorities to inspect and close every abortion clinic that presents a danger to the public – and that would mean all of them. ”
