Leonard Laufe of West Penn Hospital in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, specializes in late-term abortions. A woman came in falsely claimed that she had been raped, and Laufe aborted her 32-week baby.
The prostaglandin abortion resulted in the baby being born alive. The little baby began to gasp and kick, and Nurse Monica Bright testified that Laufe ordered that no help be given to the child. In fact, one of the staff doctors ordered nurses to directly murder the child with a fatal injection of morphine. At least three nurses refused to kill the child. The entire episode, including closeups of the baby gasping and kicking, was filmed for “educational purposes.” The original birth records indicated that the little girl weighed more than three pounds and was 18 inches long. In order to cover up his killing, Dr. Laufe altered hospital records to read a weight of two and a half pounds and a length of only 11 inches. Medical student John Kenny testified that Dr. Laufe’s attorney promised him that, if he testified in court, he would never be able to get a medical license or practice in any hospital in Pennsylvania. Dr. Laufe claimed that the baby was dead at birth. Despite the film of the entire episode, he was acquitted of all charges! This episode decisively proved that the purpose of abortion is not just to be rid of a child; the purpose is to kill the child.
