Fetal Indication Abortion Maryland

In the United States, one in every thirty-three children is born with a birth defect. One third of these defects involve deformities of the heart. Most defects are mild and are surgically and/or medically manageable. However, for a few, the outlook is bleak. Some will be severely challenged for life, some will survive for a very short time and a few will not survive even a Caesarian delivery.

The “Roe v. Wade” and “Doe v. Bolton” US Supreme Court decisions confirmed the right for women carrying pregnancies that cannot survive, to choose termination at any gestation. Often, the decision to terminate is made late in the pregnancy for many reasons. Commonly, it is the amount of time needed to assure the right decision is made. At ACO, there are no artificial gestational limits to force you into a hurried decision. There is always time to make the right decision.

Dr. LeRoy Carhart trained in an abortion practice in Pittsburgh, PA. Since 1998, Dr. Carhart is one the most experienced second and third trimester abortion providers in the United States. With the assassination of Dr. Tiller, Dr. Carhart and members of the staff from Wichita, KS moved their practice to Bellevue, NE with the promise to carry on the mission of “Team Tiller”.
