Justice Delivered to Brutal Abortionist

Charles Rossman Charles Rossman

A Georgia abortionist who gave abortion pills to a woman who was 30 weeks pregnant, then locked her in the clinic and left, was sentenced to 10 years and fined $3,500.

Operation Rescue is reporting on the case of Charles Rossman, M.D., who fled the law in 2003 after dispensing a handful of abortion pills to a 23-year old woman who was beyond 30-weeks pregnant. He then walk out of the office and locked the door, leaving the woman in labor and alone.

After receiving a 911 call from the woman, police arrived and broke into Rossman's office in time to see her giving birth to a baby boy. Both required emergency hospital care.

The case was particularly shocking due to the callous nature of Rossman's treatment of his patient and the advanced stage of her pregnancy.

A police investigation uncovered evidence of other illegal late-term abortions which were performed at the clinic. Rossman's facilities also lacked the necessary license for childbirths.

Facing certain criminal charges and the possible revocation of his medical license, Rossman shut down his abortion business and fled the country, successfully evading capture for 11 years while moving from one European country to another.

He was finally captured by Interpol in Germany in January of this year and returned to Georgia where he faced three counts of criminal abortion, four drug charges and a federal charge of unlawful flight to avoid prosecution. He has been held ever since in a county jail without parole.

“Another Gosnell-like abortionist has been convicted of crimes and is behind bars. This is a victory for justice, for the women Rossman preyed upon, and for the innocent babies whose deaths from which Rossman profited,” said Troy Newman, President of Operation Rescue.

"Rossman is an example of a dangerous abortionist, like Gosnell, that behaved as if patient safety standards and medical ethics did not apply to him. We just have to wonder how many others like Rossman are still out there victimizing women who haven't been caught. Based on our research into the abortion cartel, the answer is likely more than we can guess."

Rossman's arrest is just another reason why women need to be warned that just because abortion is legal in the U.S., that doesn't mean it's safe.
