Neb. doc plans to offer 3rd-term abortions in Kan.

By MARGERY GIBBS, Associated Press Writer Margery Gibbs, Associated Press Writer – 9 mins ago

OMAHA, Neb. – A Nebraska doctor said Wednesday that he will perform third-term abortions in Kansas after the slaying of abortion provider George Tiller, but would not say whether he will open a new facility or offer the procedure at an existing practice.

Dr. LeRoy Carhart declined to discuss his plans in detail during a telephone interview with The Associated Press, but insisted "there will be a place in Kansas for the later second- and the medically indicated third-trimester patients very soon."

"I just think that until everything is in place, it's something that doesn't need to be talked about" in detail, Carhart said a day after Tiller's family announced his Wichita clinic was permanently shutting its doors.

Tiller's clinic was one of the only facilities in the country that performed third-trimester abortions. Carhart has run his own clinic in Bellevue, Neb., since 1985, but had performed late-term abortions at Tiller's clinic because of Nebraska's more restrictive abortion laws.

2. All hospitals should be required to perform the medically urgent abortions

4. I agree completely.

AND insurance no matter what should pay for it.

5. This man's a hero,

an absolute, plain and simple hero.

I hope the Tiller family sells him the facility and he's able to retain the same staff.

I can't bear the idea of those fuckers winning.......................

6. GOOD!

To quote Billy C. abortions should be safe, legal and rare. Neither of these three goals can be achieved unless all of them are achieved.
