A new abortion facility is set to open in Maryland, with a distinctive marketing tactic: it will be an “all-trimester” facility, killing preborn children throughout all three trimesters of pregnancy.
Morgan Nuzzo and Diane Horvath have been crowdfunding to open the new facility, called Partners in Abortion Care. According to NPR, it will be opening in College Park sometime in the fall.
Horvath complained that the notion of abortion through all three trimesters is too politicized. “Every time we draw a line and we say ‘no more abortions after this point,’ someone’s going to fall on the other side of that line, and they’re going to be harmed,” she said, making no mention of the fact that preborn children who could survive on their own outside the womb will be aborted at her facility.
Much of the equipment the new facility is using is coming from other abortion facilities throughout the country that shut down, like in Georgia. They also are preparing heavy security, with cameras, panic buttons, and tinted glass that is harder to shatter. Yet despite the money they’ve raised and their preparations to open, Maryland officials haven’t been moving as quickly as they want.
“This is very time-sensitive for us, as you can imagine,” Horvath said. “We have a lot of people that need this care and have very few other options. And so I’m like – ‘C’mon guys, like, we really need to get this together.'” Nuzzo, meanwhile, wanted to send a message to those who oppose late-term abortions.
“You know, we’re not monsters,” she said. “We’re trying to help people. We’re really, really, really trying to help people who are in absolutely unimaginable situations.”
Though Horvath and Nuzzo both stated that women most frequently undergo late-term abortions due to health issues with the mother or baby, research does not support this claim.
A 1988 Guttmacher study found that just two percent (2%) of women who had abortions did so because of a health problem with the baby. More than 20 years later, a 2013 study (also published by the pro-abortion Guttmacher Institute) said, “[D]ata suggest that most women seeking later terminations are not doing so for reasons of fetal anomaly or life endangerment.” Pro-abortion researcher Diana Greene Foster stated, according to a report from the Congressional Research Service, that abortions for fetal abnormalities “make up a small minority of later abortion.” And a 2010 paper from Julia Steinberg, of the pro-abortion Bixby Center for Global Reproductive Health, said, “Research suggests that the overwhelming majority of women having later abortions do so for reasons other than fetal anomaly (Drey et al., 2006; Finer et al., 2005, 2006; Foster et al., 2008).”

NPR also neglected to mention Horvath’s history, which includes a malpractice suit after she seriously injured a patient during a dilation and evacuation (D&E). The patient’s uterus was perforated and her right ovary and fallopian tube were destroyed. The damage was so extensive that she had to be hospitalized and undergo corrective surgery to repair the lacerations, stop her bleeding, and even remove her appendix. Doctors at the hospital also discovered that Horvath had not completed the abortion, leaving parts of the baby inside the woman’s uterus.
Horvath has also cheered the idea of women undergoing repeat abortions and said it’s acceptable for women to use abortion as birth control.
Nuzzo and Horvath describe themselves as doing a service to women, but they kill children in the second and third trimesters — procedures which are usually very lucrative — when the preborn child can almost certainly survive outside of the womb. Most Americans disagree with the legality of these procedures. A recent Gallup poll showed that 55% of those polled believe abortions should be “generally illegal” in the second trimester, and 71% thought the same about abortions in the third trimester.
