Abortionist with scandalous history allegedly practicing at Carhart’s facility

An abortionist who had his license to practice medicine stripped over allegations of fraud is said to be practicing at the Nebraska facility of late abortionist LeRoy Carhart.

Carhart, one of the country’s most notorious late-term abortionists, died in April at the age of 81. Now, according to Operation Rescue, his facility in Bellevue, Nebraska, has hired Tyrone Malloy as Carhart’s replacement, according to Operation Rescue.

An anonymous informant sent an e-mail, saying that while he or she supports legal abortion, he or she wants it to be safe, and therefore, is troubled by Malloy’s hiring. The informant wrote:

Tomorrow patients will illegally be seen at the Bellevue clinic under Dr. Carhart’s DEA license, and pharmacy. As you are aware he is dead. The new medical director, Tyrone Malloy MD is not registered in Nebraska and has previously lost his medical license for fraud. His colleague will see patients, and she is not a dispensing physician. The clinic license is no longer active following Dr. Carhart’s death. Do what you will with this, I have reported this to the state.

The information seems to be valid, as Carhart’s daughter, Janine Weatherby, confirmed to the Omaha World-Herald in July that Malloy would be the facility’s new medical director.

Operation Rescue also confirmed that the state of Nebraska has opened an investigation into the facility.

Malloy was previously involved in early testing for the abortion pill — mifepristone, specifically — before it was approved by the FDA. He had also been sanctioned by the Georgia medical board after botching a late-term abortion, in which the woman died. He was additionally cited for mistakes which led to the death of a newborn after a c-section. Eventually, Malloy spent 21 months in prison after fraudulently billing Medicaid over $386,000 for abortions he never did, and ultrasounds he never performed.

After Malloy’s release from prison, the Georgia medical board quietly reinstated his license to practice medicine.

“This man is a scourge on society,” Operation Rescue President Troy Newman said in a statement. “It’s not surprising that he would be chosen to follow in Carhart’s footsteps. He apparently did not learn his lesson by the wrist slaps he received in Georgia and is continuing on his criminal path. Let’s hope and pray that Attorney General Mike Hilgers (R-NE) takes this notoriously dangerous excuse for a medical doctor more seriously than Georgia did.”
