Dr. LeRoy CarhartWICHITA, Kan. (AP) - A Nebraska abortion provider says he still plans to open his own late-term abortion practice in Kansas in the wake of Dr. George Tiller's shooting death.
Dr. LeRoy Carhart said Monday his "main choice" would be to locate the clinic in Wichita. Carhart said his attorney has talked to the Tiller family's attorney, but it is too early to make an announcement.
Carhart has operated his own clinic since 1985 in Bellevue, Neb. He was also one of four doctors who performed late-term abortions at Tiller's Wichita clinic, which closed after Tiller's death May 31.
The anti-abortion group Operation Rescue on Monday announced a "Keep It Closed" campaign targeting Carhart. The group said it would protest at his Nebraska clinic Aug. 28-29.
