New Report Reveals Suspended Severna Park Abortionist's Replacement Is Worse

September 20, 2010

Severna Park, MD - Operation Rescue has uncovered information that the notorious Ghevont W. Wartanian is doing abortions at Gynecare Center in Severna Park, Maryland, in the place of suspended abortionist Romeo Ferrer, whose medical license was suspended last week for his part in the abortion-related death of Denise Crowe.

"We thought that Ferrer's abortion mill would close with his suspension, but as far as we know, it never missed a day of business," said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman. "In fact, as bad as Ferrer was, it looks like he replaced himself with someone even worse, if that is even possible."

The Gynecare abortion mill is an affiliate of the National Abortion Federation, a cartel of notoriously troubled abortion clinics that attempt to persuade the public they are safe by publishing so-called "guidelines" for abortion clinics. Apparently those standards do not include competent licensed physicians that have not killed people with their substandard and negligent practices.

Wartanian has a long and sordid history of malpractice suits and wrongful deaths reaching back decades, and was involved in a 2001 Maryland scandal that led to reforms in the way the Board of Physicians disciplines doctors. But through it all, Wartanian has escaped discipline.

Operation Rescue's new report details Wartanian's legal woes and his history of incompetence that has led to the deaths of at least two wanted babies.

"If it is too dangerous for Ferrer to be practicing medicine, why is this guy still in business?" asked Newman. "Today, with the release of our special report, we are sending a letter to the Maryland Board of Physicians asking them to conduct a new review of Wartanian's competency and take appropriate action to protect the public from him. Enough people have died at the hands of Ferrer and Wartanian. The public needs the peace of mind that these quacks will not be allowed by the state to hurt anyone else."
