The death of LeRoy Carhart, who was among the few abortionists in the country who openly advertised his willingness to perform late-term abortions, has led to various reactions from people on both sides of the abortion debate. 

Carhart operated the CARE-Clinics for Abortion & Reproductive Excellence late-term abortion clinics in Maryland and Nebraska before his death from natural causes on Friday. He was 81 years old. 

Here are five reactions from those who knew him and those who loved him and those who loathed his ardent devotion to performing abortions.
