Reproductive rights advocates petition Nebraska’s Attorney General to support Dr. Carhart

From The World Can’t Wait:

Supporters of Abortion Doctor LeRoy Carhart Petition Nebraska Attorney General to Reject Politically Motivated Complaints
There have been 1,249 supporters of Bellevue, Nebraska abortion provider Dr. LeRoy Carhart calling on Nebraska Attorney General Jon Bruning to reject Wichita-based Operation Rescue's complaints against the doctor. Senator Ben Nelson, a Democrat who forced abortion-limiting language into the Senate health bill passed Saturday, is also from Nebraska.The petition, being sent via certified mail today, says in part, "We recognize the important national role that Dr. Carhart plays in defending women's rights and strongly urge the Attorney General to ignore the completely baseless allegations submitted by the organization called Operation Rescue, or any other groups with an anti-abortion, anti-women agenda." Debra Sweet, Director of World Can't Wait, said, "Operation Rescue, in correspondence with their anti-abortion agenda, focused on Dr. George Tiller, with years of clinic blockades, protests, as well as filing numerous legal complaints against him. Not long before Dr. Tiller was murdered in May of this year, allegedly by an anti-abortion activist, he had been acquitted of all charges after years of legal proceedings, stemming from similar allegations from Operation Rescue."Dr. Carhart recently announced that he has taken on new staff to provide abortions later in pregnancy as Dr. Tiller did before his murder. The petition says, "Dr. LeRoy Carhart is a dedicated, caring abortion provider with decades of practice providing medical care to women in need of abortion. After the assassination of his colleague Dr. George Tiller this past spring, he has taken up the cause to 'Trust Women' and continued his practice in the face of threats both violent and legal. He is the sort of courageous, principled person who we as a society should support, honor and respect."
