Clinics may often advise patients to call them first before going to an Emergency dept, because hospitals tend to overtreat for abortion complications - partly because they have so little experience with them and don't know what's normal in terms of bleeding etc, and partly because anti-abortion staff will overreact and 'punish' the woman with unnecessary or drastic treatment.
Dr. Carhart does have a horse business, so who knows, maybe that's the best number to reach him after hours if a patient has a problem. It's nobody's business but his anyway!
Aside from the weirdness of an abortion doc who also owns a horse business (is this the deep South, or what?), some would argue that a doctor who gives patients his phone number and tells them to call if there's a problem is actually an extremely GOOD standard of care, not a bad one. I certainly don't have my doctor's home number.
There is Buzz on the Pro-life sites that they will sue Dr. Carhart as well, over what who knows, so perhaps Karma will win out this time and LeRoy will sue them.
I would also think that Jennifer's family has plenty to sue these anti-choice terrorists over as well. They should at the very least press criminal charges for stalking. Because stalked she was.

IANAL either but I suspect it may be lawsuit bait? These people love grandstanding.
You may be right. Then they can SHRIEEEK: We are the Victims!
But really, this case has driven them delirious with joy and malice. Over the top, even for them.

Thanks, Joyce, I didn't know that but it makes perfect sense.
