Operation Rescue of old was the movement that massively blocked abortion clinics, with the most famous one taking place in Wichita, Kansas, in 1991 led by Randall Terry, who has faded from the scene. It has been taken over in recent years by Troy Newman, a fearless and creative pro-life leader.
No longer do they block clinics. Among many other things, what they do is stake out abortion clinics with cameras and take video footage of that increasingly familiar sight of ambulances taking away yet another victim of a botched abortion.
Newman announced just today the tragic death of a young woman in the grisly abortion chamber of Leroy Carhart in Germantown, Maryland.
A 29-year old woman died yesterday as the result of fatal complications suffered during an abortion at 33 weeks that was done by LeRoy Carhart at Germantown Reproductive Health Center in Germantown, Maryland. Information about the incident comes from an extremely credible anonymous source.
Note that crafty mention of an anonymous source. Newman has found a donor willing to pay $25,000 to any whistle-blower who provides information that leads to a conviction. Such an offer not only encourages people to come forward but also sows worry and perhaps even panic among abortion workers wondering if there’s a rat in their midst. Often, it seems, there is.
The most recent Carhart massacre is already up on Drudge and could receive national coverage.

You have a decision to make: double or nothing.
For this week only, a generous supporter has offered to fully match all new and increased donations to First Things up to $60,000.
In other words, your gift of $50 unlocks $100 for First Things, your gift of $100 unlocks $200, and so on, up to a total of $120,000. But if you don’t give, nothing.
So what will it be, dear reader: double, or nothing?
Make your year-end gift go twice as far for First Things by giving now.
