TORONTO, June 14 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Former Canadian abortionist, Dr. Richard Neale, made the front page of media around the world this week as he faces 37 charges of “serious professional misconduct” in Britain before the General Medical Council. Reports detailed how Neale was dubbed “Bloody Dr. Neale” and “the Butcher” due to his mistreatment of patients during surgery. However, none of the reports mentioned the word abortion. Ten Canadian newspapers and news agencies reported on the story, including the Toronto Star, Toronto Sun, CTV News, CBC, the National Post, the London Free Press and more. While the National Post mentioned that Neale also performed “pregnancy terminations” most of the other news agencies were content to be completely silent about his abortion practice even though some of the women involved were hurt and killed by his abortions.
Forty Canadian women have launched complaints against Neale for incidents that occurred in Canada. The Post reports that 3 Canadian women died in his care and LifeSite reported earlier that at least one of those deaths was due to a botched abortion. Despite having been stripped of his medical licence in Canada, Neale was nevertheless allowed to practice in England. His suspension and investigation in Britain took place after 60 women publicly came forward to say that they had suffered needlessly while in his care. While in Canada in the 1980’s, Neale wrote a letter to the Globe and Mail complaining of the “endless stream of young girls who come seeking termination of their pregnancies.”
