“Your referral has been documented and forwarded to the FBI Houston Field Office for any action deemed necessary,” wrote Steven D’Antuono, the section chief of the Financial Crimes Section of the U.S. Department of Justice, earlier this month to Cheryl Sullenger, the senior vice president of the pro-life group Operation Rescue.
This is the most promising move by a government entity in the case involving allegations that abortionist Douglas Karpen, M.D., murdered live babies after one of his many botched abortions. Despite horrific allegations against Karpen for actions taken in 2012, it appears that until now, neither Texas law enforcement nor federal officials have pursued the case with any intent to punish him.
What were those actions?
Four women who worked at Karpen’s Houston-area abortion facilities informed Operation Rescue in 2013 that Karpen was violating the law. According to Sullenger, she received photographs of more than one baby who had been born alive that the employees charged Karpen had killed by slashing or twisting their necks.
Despite the release of these photographs of what were referred to as “large” dead babies, allegedly after their birth, Karpen has not been charged with any crime as of yet. A grand jury opted not to indict him, but Operation Rescue has said they later learned the grand jury was tainted. They contend that the district attorney, Devon Anderson, and Karpen’s criminal defense lawyer, Chip Lewis, were close friends, with Lewis having donated $25,000 to Anderson’s political campaigns (a very large sum of money for a district attorney race).
After no action was taken by Texas authorities, Operation Rescue contacted the U.S. House Select Panel on Infant Lives. This panel had been investigating charges that Planned Parenthood was trafficking in the sale of aborted baby parts. After reviewing the case, the congressional committee passed the information on to the Department of Justice in 2016. Unfortunately, the DOJ was still under the control of Attorney General Loretta Lynch, the same person who met with former President Bill Clinton at an Arizona airport a few days before then-FBI Director James Comey announced no charges would be brought against Hillary Clinton in the e-mail investigation.
Finally, when President Trump took office in 2017, the panel again referred the case to the Department of Justice, now under Attorney General Jeff Sessions. Sullenger followed up with her own letter in August 2017, asking him to open an investigation into the allegations against Karpen.
In addition to the accusations that Karpen murdered babies born alive in his clinic, he was also alleged to have committed sexual harassment against employees and patients.
