Operation Rescue Launches Petition to Keep Dr. Carhart Out of Wichita: ACT NOW!

Today, the extremist anti-abortion group Operation Rescue has launched a petition in order to keep Dr. Carhart from performing abortions in Wichita, Kansas. Operation Rescue has claimed that in order for Carhart to be able to perform abortions in Wichita, "he must have an arrangement for treatment of emergency cases with a local hospital". They are now urging Wesley Medical Center to refuse to make any arrangements with Dr. Carhart, so that he is unable to perform abortions in that area.

For a while, I was just stumped and angry about this. BUT I had the idea of contacting Wesley Medical Center myself and urging them to accept Dr. Carhart if he does decide on providing abortions in Kansas.

You can contact Wesley Medical Center here to ask them to ignore Operation Rescue and to support Dr. Carhart.
