Author: OMAHA, Neb. (AP) – An abortion doctor says he will likely perform more late-term abortions at his Nebraska practice instead of opening a new Kansas clinic to meet the demand left when Dr. George Tiller was shot and killed earlier this year.
Dr. LeRoy Carhart said Friday he thinks expanding his practice in the Omaha suburb of Bellevue may be the best option. Carhart says his lawyers are telling him he’s not breaking state law by performing late-term abortions in Nebraska, but he hasn’t made a final decision yet.
The Nebraska doctor has said he was a close friend of Tiller and performed abortions at Tiller’s Wichita clinic. Carhart twice has appeared before the U.S. Supreme Court to challenge bans on a procedure its opponents call partial-birth abortion.
