GERMANTOWN, Md., Feb. 10, 2013 /Christian Newswire/ -- The prayer service and news conference will be outside of the late-term abortion clinic of LeRoy Carhart in Germantown, Maryland.

News Conference Details:

When: Monday, February 11, at 9:00 a.m. 

Where: 13233 Executive Park Terrace, Germantown, MD

On Thursday, a 29 year old New York woman died at a local hospital from a botched abortion at Carhart's clinic.

The Christian Defense Coalition will be joining the Maryland Coalition for Life in demanding the Maryland Department of Health immediately close the clinic and the Maryland Board of Physicians immediately revoke Carhart's medical license.

Rev. Patrick J. Mahoney , Director of the Christian Defense in Washington, D. C., states;

"First of all, we mourn and grieve for this tragic loss of life and pray for the husband, family and friends of this 29 year old mother who passed away last Thursday.

"Sadly, this woman joins hundreds of others who have died from so called 'safe and legal' abortions since 1973.  Our prayer is the barbaric practice of late-term abortions will come to an end as the first step in ending the violence of abortion completely in America.

"LeRoy Carhart has become a hero to the pro-choice movement and was recently 'lionized' in an acclaimed documentary at the Sundance Film Festival.

"Yet this 'hero' butchered a woman, left her hemorrhaging in a hotel with no medical assistance, flies out of town after collecting his fee and did not return any of the calls from the woman's desperate family.

"Two years ago we warned the State of Maryland that something like this would happen based on Carhart's past record of unprofessionalism, incompetence and botching a late-term abortion which cost another woman her life several years ago.

"The blood of this woman must clearly be placed at the feet of the Maryland Board of Physicians and Health.

"In light of this horrific tragedy, we demand that the Maryland Board of Physicians and Health revoke Carhart's and the clinic's license so no more innocent women will have to die."
