Woman's death tied to abortion, says medical examiner [View all]

Source: Omaha World Herald

By Rick Ruggles

A Maryland medical examiner has confirmed that a woman's death occurred as a result of complications related to an abortion.

Anti-abortion groups near and far have said the abortion provider in the case was Dr. LeRoy Carhart, whose clinic in Bellevue, Neb., is well-known and often-picketed by anti-abortion entities. Carhart also practices at a Germantown, Md., clinic.

The spokesman for the Maryland Office of the Chief Medical Examiner said the doctor isn't named on the woman's death certificate and that he couldn't verify that Carhart was the doctor involved.

Carhart did not return phone calls Thursday.
