Maryland Clinic to Become One of Few Nationwide to Offer All-Trimester Abortions

-

“Providing compassionate, expert care in an affirming and supportive environment.”

That is the stated mission of a clinic that plans to offer abortions through all trimesters of pregnancy. The Maryland clinic, Partners in Abortion Care, will perform abortions on babies up to 34 weeks gestation, NPR reported.

The clinic's co-founders Diane Horvath and Morgan Nuzzo emotionally described their “rehoming” of equipment from a Savannah abortion clinic that closed after Georgia enforced protections for the life of the unborn after was overturned. A federal court further upheld a 2019 law in Georgia that bans abortions past 6 weeks, when a baby's heartbeat is often first detected.

Horvath is no stranger to controversy. The abortionist faced a medical malpractice suit in 2016 after causing “several significant injuries” to a patient at a Planned Parenthood clinic. Dr. Diane Horvath allegedly perforated the patient's uterus and destroyed an ovary and fallopian tube during a medical procedure she performed, court documents show.

It's no surprise that she and Nuzzo's new clinic is located in a state that boasts some of the most radical and permissive abortion laws in the country. Democratic lawmakers in April overrode Republican Governor Larry Hogan's veto, passing a law that now allows medical personnel (beyond physicians) already providing care for pregnant women to perform abortions. A total of $3.5 million in taxpayer dollars are also set aside to provide training to medical professionals to perform the procedure in the state. Republican Delegate Matthew Morgan said of the bill, “It basically expands it to anybody but the receptionist.” The new law also requires health insurance to cover abortion as healthcare, NPR noted.

A mother in Maryland may currently end the life of her unborn child up until the point of viability, generally considered 22 to 24 weeks. State law, however, makes two exceptions for women to seek abortion at any point in pregnancy. An abortion may be performed if the baby has a “genetic defect or serious deformity or abnormality” or if the life or health of the mother is at risk.

A peer-reviewed paper published in the Health Services Research and Managerial Epidemiology Journal confirmed that most late-term abortions are elective and unrelated to “fetal abnormalities” or the woman's health. There exist no uniform scientifically based criteria for determining if and when an abortion is “necessary,” the paper's author found. In other words, politics rather than science guides most legislation governing abortion in the most radical states (e.g., New York and ).

All-trimester abortions shouldn't be a “really politicized topic,” the Partners in Abortion Care co-founder Dr. Diane Horvath said. Every time we draw a line and we say ‘no more abortions after this point,' someone's going to fall on the other side of that line, and they're going to be harmed.”

Horvath has long been an advocate of abortion, and not just for the sake of the mother's health. “#ABORTION IS #BIRTHCONTROL, no matter how you personally feel about it. Let's stop shaming and stigmatizing people for knowing what's best for their own lives,” Horvath tweeted under the username “GynAndTonic.” She continued, “When we stop and listen – *really* listen – to people's lived experiences, we discover that #abortion might actually be the BEST method of #birthcontrol sometimes.”

  1. What is compassionate about killing a fully developed unborn baby in its mother’s womb, and what kind of reason would allow this to be done, besides these greedy medical providers, that is if we still require a reason for killing a human being, a baby or otherwise?

    Will God allow those who seek and make “Blood Money” and a living off the killing of unborn babies, live long enough to enjoy their scandalous, sacrilegious, and demonically sacrificial ill-gotten wealthy gains?

    When you vote to support people, you are promoting what they are promising to do and keep or make legal, no matter how much you deny you are for what they are promising, God will judge you by this standard, as well He should.

  2. So now, an abortionist is admitting that they promote abortion for birth control. For so long, the abortion industry tried to deny that abortion was being used that way, because they judged that it did not further their goals to portray women as stupid, irresponsible, and uncaring. Now, I guess that the abortion industry is perfectly okay with that condescending view of women.

    What surprises me is all of those “pro-choice” women who accept and embrace the caricature of being stupid, uncaring, and irresponsible. Are they not capable of seeing just how much the abortion industry degrades women?

  3. If I were the mother or the Dr I would hate the day I stood before the final day of judgement, to be judged by God on this matter…

    • Can’t wait to see Biden stand in judgement before Jesus Christ and get tossed into the lake of fire and brimstone forever!

  4. These aren’t doctors anymore that are willing to do abortions all the way to term. They along with these doctors that mutilate childrens bodies are just plain evil. There’s no other way to describe them and what they’re doing. They’re Satan’s spawn!

  5. Where the worm dieth not, and the fire will not be quenched. Enjoy your eternity in hell baby killers. No mercy for you.

  6. Abortion is not always an act of violence. In fact, sometimes it delivers a live baby, and I’m not talking about those that survive a botched attempt to murder them.
     
    The battle against this atrocity begins with identifying it correctly. By calling it “abortion,” we’ve already acquiesced to the opposition’s terminology. Look up “abortion” and “miscarriage” in any dictionary. A miscarriage is an abortion. In fact, term babies qualify as abortions. Why? Because they were aborted from their mothers’ wombs by natural means, as God designed.
     
    What doctors (and parents) do to infants in the womb is in utero infanticide. Had Roe v. Wade been waged over infanticide rather than abortion, it would have never made it to the court room. In fact, by employing the word “abortion,” Roe v. Wade was won before it ever got to court.
     
    The Greek word “brephos” employed in the New Testament for infants already born is the same word used for infants in the womb (Luke 2:12 and Luke 1:41), without specifying the precise moment they became a “brephos.” Therefore, our only option is to then accept that they became such at conception. Thus, intentionally killing a brephos at any point is “brephocide” or, more properly, infanticide.
     
     The same is true for one of the Hebrew words translated “child.”
     
    The point being, we Christians need to stop using the non-Christians’ watered-down, politically correct terms such as “abortion” and “gay.” It’s infanticide and sodomy. There is no power in the former terms against evil and our first mistake is in acquiescing to the ungodly’s terminology.
