The fix was in on this case, says pro-life

leader.

In response to a Freedom of Information Act request, Operation Rescue has received

documents that indicate Douglas Karpen’s Texas Ambulatory Surgical Center in Houston,

Texas, has not been inspected since 2010, despite supposed investigations last year into

allegations that Karpen killed babies born alive during failed illegal late-term abortions.

Operation Rescue also received a one-page document that indicated a routine licensing

inspection was conducted at Karpen’s second Houston abortion clinic, Aaron Women’s Center,

on March 13, 2013. The contents of that report were completely redacted.

AN AMERICAN ABORTION CLINIC:

Life Dynamics, Inc.,a national pro-life organization located in Denton, Texas, worked with

Operation Rescue to interview the former employees of late term abortionist Douglas Karpen.

They told Life Dynamics, Inc. that Karpen was murdering babies that were delivered alive after

his abortions.

A portion of that interview is captured in the video below :

Operation Rescue has published a detailed report, including images of the newborns on their

website.

As a result of their report and Life Dynamics' interview, the Harris County District Attorney’s

office conducted a grand jury investigation into the witnesses’ allegations, but disbanded in

December, 2013, without indicting Karpen on any charge.

Troy Newman, President of Operation Rescue says that since the interviews were released no

one from the Department of State Health Services bothered to visit Karpen’s two abortion

clinics.

"In light of the gravity of the accusations that Karpen was murdering live newborns, it is

inexcusable that no inspections were done with that information in mind,” Newman writes in his

press release, “This really represents a failure of the system to properly oversee abortion

facilities and investigate serious issues that arise. It is all too reminiscent of the failure of

Pennsylvania authorities to look into complaints against Kermit Gosnell’s Philadelphia ‘House

of Horrors.’”

Mark Crutcher, president of Life Dynamics, Inc.,

responds, "From day one I said the fix is in on

this deal. If this is not irrefutable proof the fix is

in, I don't know what is."

This news follows information that a lawsuit was recently filed againt the late term abortion

doctor by a former patient for a botched abortion. The patient claims she suffered a torn uterus,

bleeding and extensive pain and claims medical negligence on the part of Karpen.

According to reports, the suit claims “permanent injuries” were caused by abortionist Karpen and

the patient “continues to suffer as a result of medical negligence.”

The legal document says her injuries were discovered by another doctor who also found internal

bleeding.

On a recent episode of Life Talk Newman pointed out that, "On the same day that the Texas

Medical Board penned the ‘cover-up’ letter telling us that Karpen did nothing wrong, Ms.

Mendoza was in the hospital getting emergency surgery in order to save her life from horrifying

injuries she says Karpen inflicted upon her,” said Newman. “We just have to wonder how many

more women will suffer or even die before the TMB and other officials stop protecting this

dangerous man.”

The law suit also alleges that Karpen seriously injured the abortion patient and never told her she

was injured. This is exactly the same allegation made by the three former Karpen employees.

In the interview Life Dynamics conducted with Karpen's former staff members, they say that

Karpen would, “leave a patient on the table, 45 minutes with her legs open and a speculum

inside her cervix as he went across to his office and had his sandwich.”

In addition, the former employees also said that

Karpen would never tell his abortion patients if

he ripped their cervix.

Crutcher emphasizes that these abortion clinics are not safe, “it’s almost mind-boggling to think

that there are people in this world who argue that these abortion clinics are safe and legal for

women to go to, and then you hear from the women who actually went to one and it’s incredible

that these people get away with this lie.”

In the video below, a former patient from Karpen’s clinic tells Mark Crutcher about her horrific

experience and says she does not want to go back there.

In 2013, the Houston Chronicle detailed more cases against Karpen. They write:

In 1989, the parents of Denise Montoya sued Karpen after their 15-year-old daughter got

an abortion from Karpen and died. She had been 251/2 weeks pregnant, the parents’

lawsuit said, but they had been assured the pregnancy could be terminated safely.

Montoya began to bleed heavily after the procedure and was rushed to Ben Taub

Hospital, where she later died.

In 1991, Peggy Cormier sued Karpen on behalf of her minor daughter, who went to

Karpen for a late-term abortion and then changed her mind after beginning the process

of termination. The lawsuit alleges that Karpen became hostile and refused to attempt

to reverse the procedure or refer her to another doctor. Cormier’s daughter eventually

went to St. Joseph Hospital and delivered a baby weighing 1 pound, 13 ounces, who died

six months later.

Quinnetta Dugas sued Karpen in 1995, alleging that he had perforated her cervix during

a late-term abortion. Dugas also alleged that she believed she was later in her

pregnancy than the 24 weeks Karpen purportedly had told her. Dugas was bleeding

heavily after the abortion and was taken to LBJ Hospital, where she underwent an

emergency hysterectomy, according to the lawsuit.

A lawsuit brought by Cherise Mosley and her father brought Karpen to the public’s eye

when he was sued for performing an abortion on a minor who used a fake ID to

establish that she was 18, a legal requirement at the time. Mosley contended the ID card,

obtained from a grocery store, obviously was not legitimate. A jury found Karpen only 10

percent negligent and Mosley received no money.

Crutcher, concludes, "The fact is, only the washouts, losers and moral degenerates of medicine

end up working at abortion clinics and Karpen is no different.”
