Recently, a Catholic hospital in Michigan cut ties with an abortionist who is under investigation in the state. But, local pro-life activists say they approached the hospital about the abortionist’s privileges long before he was in the spot light. They claim the Catholic institution ignored their requests to cut ties, until now.
As Saynsumthn previously reported, circuit-riding abortion doctor Michael Roth is the subject of a federal investigation on suspicion he performed illegal abortions after police found several containers of human tissue, possibly fetuses in his vehicle. The discovery came after the abortionist was involved in a car accident and prompted the Attorney General and DEA to raid his home and office last week.
Local pro-life activist Lynn Mills reports that Roth has been killing preborn babies since the Rescue days of the late 1980’s working with other notorious abortionists in the state. She described Roth as being extremely nasty to pro-lifers and the media.
Roth has not been charged with a crime yet, but, in light of the story, WXYZ has reported that Roth been kicked out of one hospital where he worked.
St. John Providence Park Hospital, which is a Catholic facility said that Roth is on leave from the Hospital and released the following statement to the station:
-
Michael Roth, MD is a private practice physician (not employed by the hospital) on leave of absence.
Our by-laws clearly require all physicians to adhere to the ethical religious directives, meaning no abortions in the hospital.
But Michigan law prohibits hospitals from denying medical staff privileges based on whether or not a physician provides termination of pregnancy services at other locations.
Mills said that she has been warning the Archdiocese of Detroit about allowing abortionists privileges at their hospitals since 2010. She stated that last year, she and a group of pro-lifers held a demonstration at Providence Hospital but, she stated, rather than addressing why a Catholic hospital would allow an abortionist to practice there, they called security on the demonstrators.
“It’s time for the Archdiocese of Detroit to release the other abortionist with privileges,” Mills said in response.
“This is a wake-up call that the reputation of all Catholics as well as the reputation of their Catholic hospitals are at risk when they give an abortionist privileges,” Mills added.
