A notorious abortionist recently hired to an Alabama abortion clinic has had her medical license suspended after it was revealed she lied on her application.
Leah Torres gained intense notoriety in 2018 after her brash and obstreperous Twitter posts gained widespread attention, with Torres gloating on social media about cutting babies vocal cords so they can’t scream, after being asked if she is haunted by the heartbeat of the infants she kills, writing:
“You know fetuses can’t scream, right? I transect the cord [first] so there’s really no opportunity if they’re even far enough along to have a larynx. I won’t apologize for performing medicine. I’m also a ‘uterus ripper outer,’ if that’s how you’d like to describe hysterectomy.”
Though recently started working at West Alabama Women’s Center (WAWC), taking a job at one of the states largest abortion clinics in mid-August, her medical license was revoked just weeks later by the Alabama Board of Medical Examiners for lying on the application and making fraudulent statements on her application.
Her suspension may be short-lived, however. A spokesperson for the WAWC gave comment saying that the board’s decision to suspend Torres’ medical license is the result of a “misunderstanding” and that they look forward to getting her resolved and keeping her on staff.
