Outspoken abortion provider LeRoy “Lee” Carhart has died

Clinics for Abortions & Reproductive Excellence in Nebraska says Carhart, who was the medical director, died Friday, April 28, 2023. He was 81.
“Lee had a very simple belief that patients know what is best for their life plan and was there to support them,” the clinic's statement said. “His lifelong commitment to serving patients seeking abortion services will be continued by his staff and doctors at both Maryland and Nebraska CARE locations.”
"We have to keep talking about abortion until it doesn't remain a four-letter word," Carhart said in a 2006 interview with The Associated Press. "It's worth it to me," he told The Associated Press in 2006."You have to fight for what you believe in." Carhart assisted at Tiller’s Wichita, Kansas, clinic from 1998 until 2009 and was considered likely to take it over after Tiller was gunned down at his church by an abortion foe. Carhart later said he didn't because Tiller’s family was resistant.
The Supreme Court ruled for Carhart in 2000 in striking down a Nebraska law because it lacked an exception to preserve a woman's health and encompassed a more common abortion method. He lost a later legal challenge to the federal Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act.
