Anti-Choice Groups Rent Space Near Later-Term Abortion Provider LeRoy Carhart
Wash. Post: Anti-abortion rights groups rent space near controversial abortion provider, by Michelle Boorstein:
Two groups that oppose abortion rights have rented office space across a small Germantown parking lot from LeRoy Carhart, one of the few doctors in the country known to perform later-term abortions.
Carhart opened his office late last year after coming from Nebraska, where a new law made it illegal to perform abortions after 20 weeks.
Operation Rescue and the Maryland Coalition for Life celebrated their new lease, saying in a statement that their priority is to be a “referral and resource center for women considering abortion (early or late-term) and for women who have already made that tragic and costly decision.” . . . A photo of the site shows that the two businesses will be just feet from one another when the abortion-rights opponents begin their lease April 1. . . .
