Infamous Abortionist Moves Next Door
to Pediatricians' Office Part Three of Three By Dave Andrusko A tip of the hat goes out to Lifesitenews.com. It bought to a wider audience the news that infamous abortionist Martin Haskell has closed his abortion clinic in Cincinnati and "reopened in the suburb of Sharonville – mere steps away from Liberty Sharonville Pediatrics"--which understandably incensed the pediatricians who've been caring for infants and children since 1979.
In a letter to the editor of the Cincinnati Enquirer, Dr. Steve Brinn wrote, "Imagine our shock and disbelief, when we learned that an abortion clinic was opening in the building 50-feet from our front door. Why would a clinic performing abortions be so insensitive to a group practice treating children for 31 years?" Dr. Brinn went on indignantly, "To have a group of OB/GYN doctors terminating fetuses just outside our door, to force our mothers and their babies drive through a common driveway, driving by the front of an abortion clinic, in order to park in our lot to have their babies cared for is an atrocity. We are here to prevent infant diseases, and they are here to end infant lives. We may not have the legal right to get them to move but we will do anything in our power to vocalize our personal disgust with their mission." In related news, as discussed yesterday, the president of the National Abortion Federation confirmed that LeRoy Carhart will soon be taking up shop in an abortion clinic in Germantown, Maryland. Carhart reportedly is pulling up stakes in Nebraska now that the state has a law that prohibits abortion after 20 weeks gestation based on compelling evidence that by 20 weeks, if not before, unborn children have the capacity to experience pain Last week the City Council of Council Bluffs, Iowa, responded to rumors that Carhart might be wanting to purchase a vacant city-owned lot by stipulating that a 24, 393-square-foot-vacant lot cannot be used as an abortion clinic, according to Jon Leu of the World-Herald News Service. "That restriction remains with the land 'no matter how many times it is sold,' said City Attorney Richard Wade. It can be removed only with action by the City Council." However, "The city cannot force private property owners to impose similar restrictions, and the city's zoning rules permit an abortion clinic in any commercial zone or in an area zoned for administrative-professional uses," according to Leu. In a 1993 interview with the official newspaper of the American Medical Association, Haskell not only explained in chilling detail the specifics of the grisly partial-birth abortion technique, he also revealed that 80% of the abortions he performed in the 20-24 week range were "purely elective."

It
was Haskell, as many of you may remember, who delivered a paper at the
National Abortion Federation (NAF) "Risk Management Seminar" in 1992 which
blew the cover on partial-birth abortions.
