Tennessee maternal-fetal medicine specialist moves to Colorado to keep killing preborn humans
A Tennessee abortionist has relocated to Colorado to continue committing abortions, reportedly due to Tennessee’s pro-life laws.
Leilah Zahedi-Spung is a maternal-fetal medicine (MFM) specialist previously practicing in Chattanooga, Tennessee; she also commits abortions, and came to notoriety when she told the media about her decision to send a woman she feared was suffering pre-eclampsia on a six-hour ambulance ride to North Carolina so she could get an abortion. When the woman arrived, her blood pressure was dangerously high, and she was in kidney failure. Zahedi-Spung could have intervened, but chose not to.
Tennessee law permits abortion if needed to save the mother’s life, although the intent of an induced abortion is to end a life, and is not medically necessary; a pre-term delivery without intent to kill would have been legal.
Furthermore, a second-trimester abortion procedure should, if committed properly, takes several days to complete. A c-section takes less than an hour. Zahedi-Spung could have given the patient in question life-saving medical treatment, but chose not to, in favor of risking the woman’s life for an abortion.

And in an interview with 9News, she says she has relocated to Colorado so she can commit abortions again. “I pulled my children out of school. I told them we were moving because I couldn’t do my job,” she said. “I had to say goodbye to people that I really care about including patients.”

Zahedi-Spung could, however, continue to do her job in Tennessee — that is, her job as a maternal-fetal medicine specialist. What she couldn’t do was directly and intentionally kill preborn children.
She also claimed she was one of the only people in the Chattanooga area trained to commit late-term abortions, but fears being arrested. “I couldn’t do it. I couldn’t put myself at risk like that. I couldn’t put my family at risk like that. It just wasn’t worth it,” she said. “And that causes a lot of guilt,” she said. “Thankfully my family is so supportive and so home is wherever I am with them. It’s been hard on everybody, but we’re glad to be here.”
Abortion is also significantly more profitable than providing regular OB/GYN care; Colorado abortionist Warren Hern rakes in as much as $25,000 per abortion. The question remains whether Zahedi-Spung’s actual motivation is to provide health care or to commit lucrative abortions.
