LeRoy Carhart children: Did LeRoy Carhart have kids?

The exact number of children Dr. Carhart had is unknown.

But he had a daughter named Janine Weatherby, who broke the news of his death on social media.

“Dr. Carhart will be deeply missed by family, friends, colleagues, and patients,” his daughter Janine Weatherby said in a Facebook post.

“Lee had a very simple belief that patients know what is best for their life plan and was there to support them.”

Carhart, who had provided abortions for the past 50 years, became a lightning rod for anti-abortion activists who opposed his practices.

As the medical director of Clinics for Abortion and Reproductive Excellence (CARE), Carhart and his wife Mary ran two clinics in Nebraska and Maryland that specialize in providing second- and third-trimester abortion care.

Carhart spent 21 years in the U.S. Air Force, where he worked as a surgeon before retiring as a lieutenant colonel, according to his biography page.

In 1985, he opened a walk-in emergency clinic in Omaha, Neb.
