Florida Clinic Throws Away Live Baby

dr_manny_blog2Take his medical license away!

I’m referring to a physician in Florida who has been accused along with clinic staff of botching a late-term abortion and throwing out a living infant. This is one of the most horrendous stories that I have ever read ― regarding again ― a severe lack of proper medical care provided to a young woman and her child.

According to published reports, an 18-year-old girl went to a clinic in Florida for a late-term abortion at 23 weeks. Three days later, after receiving medication, the young woman went into labor and gave birth to a live baby girl. Since the doctor failed to show up in time, one of the clinic’s owners who was not even licensed to practice medicine, cut the umbilical cord, placed the baby in a medical waste bag, and threw it in the trash.

According to the autopsy report, the tiny baby later died of complications related to her severe prematurity. And as I’m sure you can imagine, people in the region are shocked and disgusted by the news.

Now let’s dissect this case a little bit …

Late-term abortions are quite dangerous, and free-standing abortion clinics like this one have become hazardous to women all over the country. As details of this case clearly illustrate, unlicensed personnel, lack of proper sanitary conditions and untrained physicians can all lead to horrific outcomes.

This particular physician already had a restricted license, permitting him only to perform abortions when another physician was present, and his track record of malpractice was quite extensive.

The state board of medicine of Florida is going to look at this case and determine whether or not to strip this physician of his license completely.

Let me make it easy for them: Burn his license and shut down that clinic!

So, it is okay to kill a baby before it is born, but as soon as it comes out and it is killed, that isn’t okay? What do pro-abortionist think happens between the time a baby is in the womb and is born? Do they think on the way it picks up its soul?

 
Comment by Dr. John L. Yeats

While we are debating a spending bill, little children are tossed in the trash bins of our nation. The tenor of the reports is about removing credentials and fines. What with that? Where are the criminal charges? If our culture doesn’t change its ways, it won’t be long until we are on the trash heap of failed nations.

 
Comment by sharron

This is more disgusting than the idiot in CA having 8 babies, not married, living with her parents and 6 other children, no husband, etc. There isn’t a day that goes by you don’t read about parents killing their children. This is no different. That baby could have lived. Why didn’t she give it up for adoption? There are millions of Americans that would have taken that baby and given her a wonderful life…. in fact, they would have paid all her medical expenses and most pro-
bably paid her a fee. The poor little baby is better off, at least she is in heaven with Jesus, and her 18 yr old mother, and the owner of the clinic, will be on the fast track to hell!!! May they both rot!!!!

 
Comment by Robert

Why the outrage? Had the baby been killed inside the mother it would have been business as usual. But since the baby tasted air the cruelty shown to him/her produces outrage. Where is the outrage for all of the babies murdered every year before they can be allowed to enter into this world? Where is the outrage over a woman being able to legally seek abortion at 23 weeks? Our society, in it’s ignorance and hardness of heart, has drawn a ridiculous line between being inside and outside of the womb, as if the baby doesn’t start living until he or she breathes air. Yet we call ourselves intelligent and civilized.

This woman is outraged and suing, but she would have had no problem had the baby been murdered inside of her. Now there is all of the sudden pain and suffering are involved. But hey, we give woman choices right. After the doc takes care of her “little problem” she can go right back to the club as if nothing happened. Can we please shut down the farce called abortion and call a spade a spade – it’s murder and it is no different then killing this newborn infant. How dare we tolerate this in the land of the free and the home of the brave and label it a religous debate? It’s a common sense debate.

 
Comment by Katie

I know that no one is asking me or cares what my opinion is about this subject, but I believe that what they did is just the same as having the abortion in the regular manner that one would normally be performed in! Either way, you are killing a baby. Yes, this is a horrific act of murder, but so is what the mother and doctors thought they were doing in the first place!!! I don’t care if the baby is 2 seconds old or 23 weeks…it is still alive and still a human!

 
Comment by Michelle

And people voted for a man who wants to make this kid of stuff legal……He should be thrown away and left to die too…….

 
Comment by Tom Courchaine

What has our country come to? Is this not murder? Illegal aliens landing on our shore get to stay but a baby born alive gets murdered?
This truly shows the malicious spirit behind these abortion clinics. The epitomy of selfishness manifested through the de-humanizing of humans.
Womans choice? How about the little “woman child”—where was her rights? That woman “chose” to sleep with someone—fully knowing that a baby might come about.
That clinic—–fully knew that the baby probably could have survived with just a little bit of effort.
Once a mistake is made in these clinics the baby should have a double right to live. Once again this shows and exposes these late term abortions for what they are really doing—–killing an infant.
We would not even be hearing about this but for a small child escaping the knife of some thug with a title on the door.
Wait until at the judgement——that girl will be there to tell that clinic what God thought about the events of that day!
God save our nation—–next will be the elderly.

 
Comment by Matthew D

Just sad. Sad sad sad. No other way to describe the situation.

 
Comment by Gionna

The real horror is that a 23 week abortion is even legal! The mother shouldn’t be shocked, she gave the baby her death sentence when she darkended the doors of the clinic in the first place. She was no doubt feeling the baby move and was probably showing. The mother’s lawyer says, “She came face to face with a human being” and “that changed everything.” In my opinion, the mother and the doctor should be charged with murder! What did she think she was aborting, an alien? A human life is a human life, no matter how small and terminating the life of a human being is murder…abortion is murder, no matter how you look at it. Now the mother will be tormented by this terrible choice for the rest of her life as do most women who “choose” to abort their babies.

 
Comment by Brad

Dr. Manny, how could you read about this story and merely conclude: take his license away? Isn’t this a clear case of murder? The child was born alive and killed.

 
Comment by JANE EVERETT

BURN HIS LICENSE AND THEN PROSECUTE HIM FOR MURDER. AND THE GIRL THAT GOT THE LATE TERM ABORTION SHOULD LIVE WITH THIS THE REST OF HER LIFE. 3 MORE MONTHS AND SHE COULD HAVE PROVIDED SOME COUPLE WHO REALLY WANTED A CHILD WITH THAT CHILD. SHAME ON HER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 
Comment by BARB

I AM HORRIFIED! REGARDLESS WHERE YOU STAND ON THIS ISSUE, THIS IS MURDER! WHAT IS HAPPENING TO OUR SOCIETY WHERE BABIES ARE TREATED AS GARBAGE? INCIDENTALLY, COULD NOT THIS YOUNG WOMAN DETERMINE WEEKS EARLIER THAT SHE DIDN’T WANT TO BE BOTHERED WITH A CHILD? THIS SO-CALLED DOCTOR SHOULD BE OUSTED IMMEDIATELY!

 
Comment by Jer

“Take his license away”??? What are you talking about, charge him and everyone involved, including the mother, with murder! That child was born alive, she has the same rights as anyone else, including the right to life at that point (and I would argue before then). This case is no different than if you stuffed any other person in a bag threw them out with the trash and they died, you’d be charged with murder.

 
Comment by chambels2

Can anyone say back alley abortions, except IT’S WAS LEGAL!!!!!!!!!!!! I thought abortion being legal prevents this sort of thing happening to a woman. Yea, right. The only thing legal abortion changes is the location. Instead of being in a back alley it is in a “clinic”. They shuffled her around to three different clinics, how shady is that? To say the least of the treatment of the baby girl. A decent human being (which this clinic worker was not) would have given if nothing else the baby comfort and dignity as she died. People treat their dogs better than this young girl or her baby where treated. What really gauls me it that it is legal!!

 
Comment by Ted

Take is step further, burn his license and try him for murder, try the physician who was in charge as an accessory to murder and then shut down the clinic.

 
Comment by Joe Oberkirch

It’s murder, plain and simple.

 
Comment by Jacob

This article refers the “severe lack of proper medical care provided to a young woman.” I ask, what about the medical care to the young child that was thrown away in a hazard bag? I don’t call this “medical care” at all. Pregnancy is not a disease. A baby is not a tumor that needs to be removed. This baby was murdered.

I hope the readers of this article can understand that “aborting” the life of a baby that has breathed air, that has a heart beat, that was born out of a vagina – is depraved. Take your disgust with this situation and ask if it would be any different if the doctor were there to suck the baby’s brain out, or cut its neck just before it came out of the vagina. Is there really any difference to the baby. NO! The only difference is to the people who don’t have to see the reality of what abortion is. This happens every day. Shame on everyone who participates in it!

 
Comment by Robert in Dallas

I consider myself pro-abortion in certain cases. The actions of that so called doctor not only warrant the permanent revocation of his license in any US state and territory, Belkis Gonzales should face murder charges.

This case only provides yet another example to those who wish to over turn Roe vs Wade. Prosecuting these two clinic operators will send the message that conducting an abortion in an illegal way has consquences. Such places should know that the Roe vs Wade case is still on fragile ground with each administration.

As for those who didn’t now Wade…nearly 20 of cases have been overturned due to racism….yes that Wade from Dallas.

 
Comment by Laura Sutter

And the government wants to throw more money at the abortion clinics! I don’t condone the physician’s actions one bit. I think it is a tremendous insult to someone who expected one thing and got another in return, however, I can just image how quickly a lawsuit would be slapped against this physician and clinic if they had actually rescusitated the infant and saved it’s life.

 
Comment by Lovisa

I would like to know what the difference is between killing a baby INSIDE or OUTSIDE of the womb.

 
Comment by Lovisa

What is the difference between killing a baby INSIDE or OUTSIDE of the womb?

 
Comment by Julian

I just lost respect for Dr. Manny. His response should be to throw the bum in prison. The sob doctor just murdered another person. Nothing less.

 
Comment by Scott

Not only take away his license, but also charge Gonzales with murder or at least manslaughter. it would have been one thing for the baby to die on it’s own, even in a neutral enviroment. But to place a living breathing child into a bio bag and them into a trash bag… sounds like positive action to end a life to me.

 
Comment by maddog

Too bad the baby wasn’t a terrorist at Guantanamo.
Then you’d see the ACLU and Amnesty Int’l and
NOW and everyone up in arms. Unfortunately,
this was just a newborn innocent.
Do you honestly believe that the 18 year old mother
will not be haunted by this the rest of her life?
Good thing abortion is a victimless crime.

 
Comment by Frank P.

I think it’s time we need to ‘abort’ any woman who wants to ‘abort’ a 23 week pregnancy of a ‘human being’. If we can say it ‘died’ in the trash, then we at least should say it was ‘alive’ in this woman’s vagina ! These women should have a valve in their uterus before having sex so that the sperm won’t enter a woman who could possibly do this to a 23 week old ‘baby’.

The person who did this and bled this child should recieve the Death Penalty. I’ll even go to watch.

America is folding like a big tent.

 
Comment by Bill

Right… Terminate the pregnancy early and its OK; Late term is questionable; But kill a baby and now everyone’s all excited. The only real truth of abortion lies in the dumpsters behind the clinics – or the box. I don’t see how people can get so bent about one case when 4,000 perish DAILY!!!
What a great, progressive society we have become! And according to our new president, they’re going to make it even easier!. How long do you think a holy God will put up with this culture of death?…

 
Comment by Arnold

This incident exposes abortion for what it is, killing. Abortion results in death, people. It is the absolute height of hypocrisy to express outrage that in this case the kill wasn’t a clean affair. Do deny the doctor his license; he is a butcher.

In the final analysis, no one should be practicing abortion, except in an attempt to save the life of an endangered mother. First do no harm.

 
Comment by metzman

If the “doctor” had killed the baby inside her and then thrown her out in the trash it would have been legal. May God bring judgement on America……

 
Comment by darren

What makes us repulse at this incident is neither the doctor’s negligent history or tardiness, nor the clinic owner’s crude methods, for we already know that there are too many among us with wanton disregard for life. What should shock us instead is that this incident is not isolated. It just happens to aptly detail the infanticide that occurs daily across America, whether by doctor, quasi-doctor or not. How can anyone read this story and continue support for murder?

 
Comment by doug

They both should be tried for murder. The mother is as guilty as the person that botched the abortion. What is wrong with our country.

 
Comment by Alan Van Loon

Isn’t this what President Obama wanted, and voted for twice…not giving medical care to infants born alive after botched abortions?

 
Comment by John

It is hard to believe in the sincerity of the outrage over this crime from the pro-choice crowd in light of their support of then candidate Obama who, as an Illinois state senator, and in spite of his rationalizations, voted in support of this type of “procedure.”

 
Comment by Chris Brinkley

No outcry over the fact that their expressed intent was to kill this baby, only the method of killing. She was given medication to kill the baby and the result is a dead baby. This “mother” received the service she paid for, how can she now be upset when she got exactly what she paid for? When does common sense enter the discussion?

Dr. Manny, where is your concern for the child?

 
Comment by craig

Actually, Doc, according to Public Law 107-207, someone needs to be charged with murder.

 
Comment by annmarie

I’m not sure why this clinic’s action surprises people on both sides of the abortion issue. Look for things to get even worse with Obama’s Freedom Of Choice Act, which will allow babies who are born alive due to botched up late term abortions, to be set aside without any medical care or nourishment and left to die (most of these babies have no medical problems and most of the ones that do, have things like cleft palates, club feet, things that are correctable, still they are murdered in the most cruel and inhuman way. In our determination to preserve “reproductive rights” we’ve forgotten that we are talking about a living human being.

 
Comment by Andrew

The only difference between the abortion and throwing this baby into the trash is that the baby was not in the womb when the action happened. How hypocritical that abortion supporters would denouce this action and not denouce the killing of the baby in the womb which was goin to happen anyway.

 
Comment by Linda

This story just enrages me. This is out and out murder as are all abortions. And for NOW to say that there are clinics like this across the country and they should try to keep women from going there further disgusts me. They shouldn’t exist at all.

 
Comment by Bev

I’m outraged at this! That baby was born, and yet they killed it after the fact. They need to throw someone in jail for murder here. That poor baby suffocating alive in a bag.

 
Comment by janicek

this is what’s known as “the slippery slope”…….we want to do whatever we want, when we want, why we want ,hiow we want. we have already killed an entire generation with abortion, how can we expect this generation to do any better?

 
Comment by janicek

an entire generation has been kiled by abortion

 
Comment by Sharon

The outrage over this just shows how twisted the pro-abortion thinking is. Why is it murder when the child exits the womb naturally and is tossed in a bag, but a right when it is cut up, pulled out, and tossed in a bag? Either way the baby was going to die that day. It goes to show the real reason people fight so vehemently for the right to choose. They want the right to do whatever they want–nevermind the harm to another life. If the child is unwanted–it’s OK to kill it. If it is wanted, it is a tragedy when it’s life ends. That mother wanted her child killed. She should be in jail along with the Dr and staff. The baby is the loser here. Shame on America for not protecting that baby!!!!

 
Comment by antonia devos

Dr Manny does not go far enough. This is an example of the murder that goes on every day in abortion clinics. It is very probable that most times, the baby is killed in utero and then born dead afterwards. This time, the baby lived and was killed outside of the mother. Abortion is murder. End of story. Please close all abortion clinics and put counselling/adoption clinics in their place. A social safety net for pregnant women who want to give up their children after they are born needs to be put in place.
What happened in Florida is just one incident of our moral wrongness and our neglect of our citizens at their most defenceless time.

 
Comment by Rosa

So sad that we will see more cases like this one, and this is not the first one. The workers at these clinics are numb and do not feel anything when dealing with these babies. They do it so often, it means nothing more than another case of abortion. But it’s good business $$$$$$ Lord, have mercy on this nation!

 
Comment by robin Wells

I agree, this is a terrible story. But let me get this straight. She wanted the baby murdered while it was still in the womb. And was traumatized because the baby was murdered outside the womb. She supposedly was “moved” by the sight of this little human being, outside the womb and gave it a name. Was this poor baby not a human being while inside the womb? She was upset that the baby was thrown in the trash. After the abortion, where did she think they were going to put the baby. Women get these abortions but want the procedure “sanitized” so they don’t actually know how their child is being murdered. This woman has no right to sue over the loss of her child, it was her intention from the very beginning to kill the baby. She could sue over the lack of medical care I suppose. But what kind of care can you expect from a doctor that rips babies of their mothers wombs for a living. Abortion is a brutal business, there is no way to sugar coat it. I hope this woman gets her life together and gets some birth control.

 
Comment by rlowe

What is the 18 year old girl all upset about? Her plan for the child was death all along anyway! She just thinks she can get some money for the death. She should be put in jail for murder along with the doctor and the owner of the clinic!!!
Aren’t you glad that your mother didn’t abort you!

 
Comment by Linda

This breaks the heart of God, seeing His most precious children murdered. I’m so so angry that this man may get away with just having his license revoked. How can we get President Obama to read this story. Pray, pray, pray that God will change his heart.

 
Comment by maddog

Our president supported and spoke out and voted for a bill in Ill. that would have made precisely what occurred in Florida completely legal.
It was premised on categorizing a baby, just like this one,
as not a “person” under the constitution, and therefore not protected by
constitutional rights.
The raw irony is that this was precisely the legal premise that Justice Taney
used in his Dred Scott decision to justify slavery in the US – that anyone
of African American descent was not a person under the constitution.
I am sure our learned constitutional scholar was aware of this.

 
Comment by Tom

My view of abortion: 1st trimester — it is an unfortunate extension of birth control and has to be permitted. That will always be reality I think. Early 2nd trimester — still permissible but should be reserved for exceptional circumstances as determined by the mother and her doctor. At this stage the procedure already presents medical risks to the mother. Late 2nd trimester – 3rd trimester (viability) — murder, plain and simple. I don’t see any difference between terminating the life of a viable baby inside the mother compared to immediately outside the mother. It is a form of homicide to me either way and it is unbelievable to me that many view this as a “radical” pro-life perspective.

The doctor should not only lose his license in this case but should be charged with negligent homicide. He probably won’t get any severe punishment but it would deter him and others from considering this type of disgusting conduct in the future.

 
Comment by Stephanie

Why is this “mother” portrayed as a victim???? The precious child that she intended to KILL is the ONLY victim here!!! Abortion is MURDER! And now we have a president that wants to take restrictions away from this heinous practice and use our tax dollars to support MURDER! We are going to be a nation in ruins!

 
Comment by America1

What did the lady expect? She went there to kill her baby… Did she think that it was going to be some beautiful event? What the clinic did was wrong, but I hope the mom feels pain and shares this experience with everyone who might consider an abortion. Do these moms who kill there babies think that it’s something other than barbaric? To bad she didn’t get to look her sweet innocent child who didn’t ask for mom to play around and conceive her/him in the eyes before it died in the biohazard bag. This mom actually thinks people will feel bad for her because her baby wasn’t killed appropriately. Is there really an appropriate way to kill a baby? I think not!!!!

 
Comment by Tim

This is unmitigatedly appalling. I’m horrified that someone would even consider an abortion that late in a pregnancy. Dr. Alvarez, I don’t think that taking away the doctor’s license will solve anything. How about prosecuting him and the child’s mother for first degree murder? That’s what it really is, now isn’t it?

 
Comment by BAD VIC

Where is Ashley Judd’s outrage on this! Oh I forgot, the left want to save the wolves & other animals because it makes them seem compassionate. But where is the compassion when it concerns throwing the baby out with the bathwater! Not a peep!

 
Comment by Rosa

Is not the first time and will not be the last one. A lot of people are making lots of money in this business. And that’s what it is for them: business. For many who seek abortion is not a big deal; it’s legal and morality plays no part on their decision. So sad that this nation has come to accept abortion as a great service to women’s rights. Our legislators don’t even want to see pictures of aborted babies and read of these cases. They are guilty and we are guilty of doing nothing against such daily murders in this country, not to save the mother’s life or in case of rape, but for convenience.

 
Comment by Tina

To be fair to those of us that are having trouble conceiving legitimate children in a financially stable, loving, husband-wife home, maybe a few random million from the “stimulus” bill could be allocated to fund infertility treatment or, hey! To help cover adoption fees! What a travesty it is that killing an innocent child costs a fraction of the cost of adoption. I have reproductive rights too: I have the right to have a baby, love it, and provide for it for the rest of my life. Why is my right tossed aside but the legal right to murder is so passionately defended? That little girl will live with two emotional traumas for the rest of her life. First, that she ever made that appalling decision and second, that she witnessed a stranger killing the most beautiful thing that ever came from her. As a professional soldier about to deploy to Iraq again I’m devastated that one of the freedoms I’ve been fighting for for twelve years is our freedom to murder the most precious gifts of all. Unfortunately we military folk aren’t allowed to pick and choose our battles.

There is nothing more innocent than a precious, little baby inside of a mother’s womb!! How could anyone, brutally force them from that safe haven and MURDER them ?
May America open her eyes and see that God is going to send judgement!!!!

 
Comment by SBNewMexico

The fact that a young woman thought that abortion was her only choice and that a baby died a painful death unloved and alone should bring us all to tears.

I am tired of hearing “women’s rights” used interchangeably with abortion rights. Of course “womens rights” should be protected but they should also be better defined. A woman should have the same right to education as a man, the right to equal pay for an equal job, the right to work in a harassment free environment, the right to live in a country that takes sexual abuse seriously and protects her from it, a right to choose with whom she has sex and the right to choose to accept the consequences of her actions. No one, man or woman, should have the right to kill a child. Of course, we’ve all heard the “stay out of my womb” or “it’s my body” arguments. They simply do not hold water with me. An unborn child is a human being – yes, during pregnancy it is growing within its mother’s body – but it is a separate entity and deserves to be treated as such.

So many of us are on the fence about this issue. We want to say that we are personally opposed to abortion but understand that it may be ok, or even necessary for others. This is like saying, “I personally would never kill a member of my family but I understand if you see the need to kill a member of yours.” The number of abortions in this country will only go down if we educate ourselves as to what it really is. Check out abort73.com for some well researched facts.

 
Comment by Mike

God help us. Can somebody explain to me how a country with zero regard for human life when it’s considered inconvenient can charge these people for murder? Isn’t that what this so-called mother was there for….how much money is she suing for dare I ask?? I keep thinking I’m in the middle of a dream and REALLY want to wake up. Until America starts respecting the sanctity of life we will continue moving backwards as a culture….animals don’t even behave in this manner!!

 
Comment by Marlon

Abortion is murder. Whether that baby died lying in the trash or resting in her mother’s womb, she was killed and its murder. To think Obama would be defending the clinic in this case! America has voted in somebody so morally bankrupt I’m afraid the very moral fabric of your great country is seriously threatened.

Expect another terrorist attack, natural disaster, or some form of HARSH judgement to befall you because of tolerating an evil such as abortion. May God help us all.

 
Comment by Sonia

I think anybody prepared to perform an abortion is ruthless and this can be expected of them. I am trying to confirm the legitimacy of a claim that Obama voted to abstain from the bill to give medical/respite care to a still alive child who survived the abortion procedure, not once, not twice, but three times, not just at the IL state level but on the federal level as well. If this is true this woman can not be charged with murder because IT WAS NOT AGAINST THE LAW. So if you are not required by law, what would someone who may even be medically licensed do, slit the babies throat around the corner where no one can see? Or maybe not, I suppose because they are educated, they will suffocate them or give them a lethal injection? I know some clinics have incinerators, how many live babies are burned there?

Survival rates at the best medical centers are 12-14% at 22 weeks; 15-42% at 23 weeks; and 47-83% at 24 weeks gestation.

We have taken life into our own hands, so what is the big issue here, murder is murder, inside or outside the womb, IT STAYS MURDER

 
Comment by Paul

What’s wrong with you people? Our president is cool with this. Shouldn’t we blindly follow him? Change and hope, change and hope, change and hope, yes we can, yes we can. After all, he made history. Change and hope, yes we can. And, um, uh, he’s so eloquent.

 
Comment by Mary Pat Sheridan

The disrespect and disregard for life in our country leads to tragedies as evidenced by the murder of the Florida toddler (Caley Anthony). If we are a “civilized” society, we will not tolerate such horrible abominations, regardless of religious views.

 
Comment by Gustav

This type of thing was standard practice in ancient Rome.

It’s amazing the similarities between that empire and the US: letting unwanted newborns die of exposure; multiple divorce and re-marriage; rampant homosexuality.

The only thing we haven’t yet done is have our government hand over all power to a single individual…oh, wait.

 
Comment by Amanda

No matter how you look at it, a baby is gone. This baby could have graced the world with his/her laughter, the sparkle in his/her eyes, made someone in this world extremely happy and touched the lives of others. This baby could have been the upturn of America, because hey, you never know. You could be killing the answer to all of our problems. This baby (or any other baby) could have saved a life. You just never know. I’m sorry that the baby was killed in any way shape or form.

 
Comment by AL

That’s terrible. The baby was born before the doctor had a chance to suck its brains out and discard it. How can the story refer to this person as “Mom” and how can she name the baby. Sick. At least Obama made sure that our taxpayer dollars will be spent overseas sponsoring these procedures.

 
Comment by mary m.

The autopsy is faulty. The baby died of suffocation. What a horror.

 
Comment by melissa

Both the mother and the one who tossed the baby should be tried for murder. First the girl went there to allow someone to kill her living fetus, but instead it was a living child that was murdered. And now she is trying to sue? For what? She is just as guilty. If the baby was born alive and she had a change of heart why didn’t she take the baby to a hospital or stop the other person from trashing her child? She’s just another piece of trash trying to get money for something that was her own fault.

 
Comment by Samantha215

When I was pregnant with my daughter, I went into premature labor at 21 weeks…her chances of surviving (8 yrs ago) were about 40%. they gave me meds and put me on bedrest…14 weeks later I gave birth to a beautiful healthy little girl (5lbs 6oz)
I am sickened by this story as I am about many news stories everyday.
what mystifies me is that this ‘mother’ is acting like she is angry..shoot she went there to kill the baby anyways…end result…she got what she WANTED(BI*TCH), a defenseless baby that had no choice..her mother MADE the CHOICE TO MURDER HER!!

 
Comment by Jack

You can’t charge the doctor, he wasn’t even in the building. Read the facts, people.

And please keep on saying that all abortions are morally equivalent to this case,
it makes you sound like the lunatic fringe.

 
Comment by Dandman

I am amazed at the sudden outrage over this situation in Florida. Did the light finally come on that people are guilty of murdering babies. It is no different than what King Obama has done in signing off on late term abortions, (FOC), where the infant is sometimes born alive and no one is allowed to hold, feed or otherwise offer any life care to the infant and it is allowed to die a slow death, cold and alone. If you were caught treating a dog like that you would end up in jail. Murder is murder no matter how high up the food chain you think you are and some day there will be a day of reckoning before your creator. We need an organization called PETI, People for the ethical treatment of INFANTS!!!!!!!!!! You can’t kill an eagle, some places it’s illegal to kill a snake, but it’s fair game on a CHILD.

This is such a sad and sick story. But just in case some of you don’t know what “late term” abortion is, it’s not much different from what the clinic owner did. If a woman “chooses” to kill her baby in a “late term” abortion, all she has to do is go to any one of our many free clinics. They’ll give her meds to get the “process” started. When the doctor’s ready, he delivers all but the head of the baby, then he pierces the back of the babies neck with a medical suctioning device that suck out the baby’s brains, once that is complete, he delivers the rest of the baby, dead of course, and this is how a “late term” abortion is done. Plain and simple murder.

 
Comment by Ellie Benton

I agree that Dr. Pierre Jean-Jacque Renelique should not only loose his license to practice medicine but that he and his employee should also be prosecuted for murder. To make a mistake is forgivable, but to destroy a little baby’s life to cover it up is unconscionable.

This has to have been traumatic to the young mother, and all her family, who lost this precious little soul.

I believe this murdered little girl is now safe from all further harm in Heaven; but this alone consoles.

Revoke his license?!! What about bring him up on murder charges!!

 
Comment by Jessica

I am now 31 weeks pregnant with my second pregnancy. My first ended last April at 6 weeks when I had a miscarriage. It was the most excruciating experience of my life, emotionally and physically. When I became pregnant again a few months later, I was closely monitored early to avoid a second miscarriage. At 7 1/2 weeks, I not only SAW but HEARD my baby’s heartbeat on a standard ultrasound. My very first thought was this – Nobody can EVER convince me this is not a life. By 20 weeks, the kicking was impossible to ignore, and at 23 weeks it was a constant reminder of the life inside me.

I really, truly hope this haunts her the rest of her life, in a way that makes her rethink the consequences of every decision she makes. I don’t mean this in a ‘burn in Hell’ kind of way, but in a way that will make her respect and appreciate the miracle of life.

 
Comment by heather

These are the same youth that we shake our heads at when they walk in a liquor store and blow the owners head off for the money in the register. How can our government tell them that life is important and allow what this young lady knows happened to her baby to happen “legally?”

 
Comment by Wendy

Revoking the license is nothing! What about bringing them up on murder charges!?

 
Comment by Shevaun

Funny, the way you describe these clinics reminds me of the way abortions used to be, before they became “legal”.

 
Comment by Snake

I don’t understand the outrage about this! what is the difference in what happened and this:
A medical professional will induce a breech (feet first) delivery with forceps. The baby will be partially birthed, legs, arms, and torso of the baby delivered…everything but the head. (At this point, the baby is kicking his/her legs and flailing his/her arms…VERY MUCH ALIVE.) The back of the baby’s skull is punctured with a scissors-like instrument and a suction device is inserted. The power of the suction sucks out all the content in the baby’s skull and ultimately causes the skull to collapse in on itself. The baby is now deceased, and can be delivered more easily as the head is smaller.

Technically this isn’t infanticide, because the baby is ‘dead’ before full delivery…but come on…

 
Comment by Price4thgirl

Shocked! I’m very disturbed by this story. Truth known, this is one in many same-like situations. There needs to be more investigations into these so-called clinics. Why can’t we protect the poorest of the poor (the babies) who have no one protecting them. We call ourselves the arm of justice in the world. Woe to the country who destroys the #1 resource they have….life!

 
Comment by Lily

SCREW THIS LORD FORSAKEN WOMAN!!!! IF I WERE IN CHARGE OF THIS SITUATION, I WOULD STUFF HER & THE “DOCTOR ”, OR AS I CALL MURDERER, INTO A BIO HAZARD BAG, AND LEAVE ‘EM THERE TO DIE! THE LITTLE BABY IS DEFENSLESS!! IF THAT MURDERER TRIED TO PUT ME IN A BAG, I HAVE DEFENSES! GOD PUT BABY’S IN THE WOMB! IF THIS IS WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN, WE’D BE BETTER OFF HAVING THE STORK BRING ‘EM!! BUT AT LEAST THE GIFT FROM ABOVE IS IN HEAVEN, AND SCREW THE MOM & “DOCTOR”!!! I HOPE THEY BURN IN HELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 
Comment by Kristie

Why should anyone in this story be charged with murder?!? The mother got what she paid for, and the clinic was doing its job by ending a pregnancy. Why does it make a difference that the baby was killed outside the womb? Why does it matter that the baby had taken a breath of air rather than the amniotic fluid it was breathing inside the womb? So, would it have been better if the doctor had punctured the baby’s skull and sucked out her brain with a vacuum? Because that’s what would have happened if the doctor had shown up on time. Do you think the baby doesn’t feel pain during this “procedure”? Why are any of you shocked and outraged by this? This goes on every single day all over the country. The only reason the “mother” is upset now is because she had to SEE the beautiful little girl that she was about to MURDER. As long as it’s just a “procedure” she didn’t have to think about what she was really doing.

I do think the doctor’s license should be revoked, because of negligence. But other than that, I don’t believe any charges can be filed. Abortions are legal, and that’s all this was.

 
Comment by Tricia

Doesn’t life teach you that life comes from life? Nothing is reproduced from the dead.
Anything birthed and not living is called a “miscarriage”… life’s natural process.
To kill in the womb or outside of the womb is killing, either way. Think about it…..

 
Comment by em

What is the difference if the baby was killed outside or inside the womb? The intended outcome was the same either way – a dead baby.

This is eerily similar to an account I heard on the radio by a woman named Angele. Some one made a movie about it called 22 weeks.

 
Comment by Kafka

As I read this pitiful story I wondered aloud how long it would take for someone to throw a president in the mix..any president. That’s sad.

This problem has been around a lot longer than ANY sitting president and needs to be solved in the home and within a strong cultured society. But some of us continue to toss around political labels and that ‘Look who you voted for, we knew he would do this mentality’ while our world falls down around us. How stupid.

This is just one more indicator of the unraveling of our way of life and some of us are to busy throwing stones and blaming people to see it. It does not matter who is at the top, nothing will change until every day people, like all of you reading this, get fed up and force our leaders to hear us and do the right thing.

 
Comment by Rich

I am not sure what the big deal is. If it is okay to suck baby parts into a suction cannister during a well-performed abortion, why the problem about tossing a baby in the trash who survives a botched abortion? If fact, if I recall correctly, just a few short months ago, then-Senator Obama voted in favor of letting babies such as the trashed one die without medical intervention.

All this story does is stir up a temptest in the proverbial teapot. Let them die, and decrease the surplus poplulation.

Comment by Dave

At what point was the baby not alive? I laugh at the term “live baby girl.” The child was to be terminated regardless. Why the hell does it matter when it was done?

Once the Freedom Of Choice Act is passed, murder will be legal from conception to birth! Any one who voted for Obama had a hand in this! This country is going in the wrong direction!! God help us all!! Pray and repent!

 
Comment by Sarah

frist of all sharron, the lady with the lots of kids lives in MD right?? And i totally agree with kelly. in a different article it states that the mother of the baby was even thinking twice about having the baby in general! So imagine staring at your child, a miracle, and someone come up, throw it on the floor, kill it, and throw her away! (the baby was a girl) This is terrible! This guy should like go to jail for a longggg time.

 
Comment by Mary

While I agree that abortion is a horrific “procedure” that takes away the life of a human being, the resentment being shown this mother is also shameful. No woman desires an abortion for its own sake. The confusion and distress of a pregnancy in her circumstance deserves consideration. While she did make this choice, no one can knows the possible lack of support or education that she recieved when contemplating what to do. Both children AND women deserve better than abortion, and that’s why people must defend them both.

Our culture, education system, health system, government, and the silence of our apathetic voices has made abortion a viable option for women in difficult situations. They deserve better, and we fail to recognize that when we criminalize women who have suffered abortions. These mothers (and fathers for that matter) endure pain as a result of this choice, and our compassion must extend to them, too.

We cannot wait for the government to end this killing. It must begin with our work in education and activism. Abortion is a legal reality, but to end it, the hearts and minds of our country must believe it is wrong.

 
Comment by bob

funny there’s more outrage for the people that shoot these doctors or bomb there buildings. i’m not so sure anymore if its even wrong to do these things to so called doctors or clinics that perform late term, or partial birth obortions. i don’t think if i was on a jury i would vote to convict them.

 
Comment by Jim

Now Dr. Alvarez -

Let’s Clarify – 23 weeks is not considered Late Term. It wouldn’t matter anyway Late Term Abortions are perfectly legal in every state. And so what ? This so-called baby went out in the same type of biohazard bag that gets hauled to the same bio hazard incinerator every week. This is our Right to Choose! How dare we accuse the health care provider of any wrong doing!

Yes. Especially for the baby.

I don’t see the problem. Isn’t this what Obama wants done? It would seem so by his refusal to sign on the Born Alive Protection Act. I’m afraid that this is one case that we see of the many similar ones that exist and you never hear of. It’s outrageous and disgusting!

 
Comment by Karen Carrillo

Abortion is abortion. What is the difference? I am confused. They are all killed and thrown in the trash, 1.5 million so far in the US.

 
Comment by Wayne

Dave if you do not know the difference you are no better than the others who were involved. I hope you were tongue in check with your comment.

This is were abortions like our president end up. Legal abortion came into being with the statements that it would save 300 women a year from dying by back alley abortions. So let me see we kill 1.5 million children to save 300 heartless women. Only liberals can make that leap.

God help us stop this murder.

Comment by Christy

My hope is that some people, like the young mother, will look at this horrible situation and change their hearts about abortion. It’s murder, plain and simple. Sad thing is, this kind of things happens so much more than we realize. Abortion clinics are BIG BUSINESS, and that is all they are. Check out the book Blood Money and have your eyes opened to where their hearts really are…it has nothing to do with women’s rights; it’s all about the money. I doubt if the pro-choicers even realize that…they think it’s about rights…even they would be disgusted if they knew the truth.

 
Comment by Frank P.

We should throw in a comment here about our new President’s ‘take’ on things like this in accordance with ‘God’s Mind’ as to these matters. Have you all noticed that Obama did not take his OFFICIAL oath with the CHOICE of a BIBLE ? Was this ‘deliberate’ and ‘his real choice’ ?

The Spin was the ‘Lincoln’ bible had to be ‘returned’. In the White House, there is not one Bible ? In Obama’s ‘CHRISTIAN’ household where his girls are ‘NOT ALLOWED’ Christmas gifts there is not one Bible.

I think we should all begin ‘thinking’ about who this person ‘is’.

 
Comment by Nancy

I am 100% pro-life. However, I am not sure what the uproar is in this case. The goal of this mother was a dead baby, and that is what she received. Unfortunately, this is legal in the USA. When I think of a “botched abortion” I think of a living baby or a dead mother. It is with ’successful abortions” that the baby dies.

This is so sad. There are many couples out there who would have loved and cherished that baby. Just a few more weeks then the young mother could have given the baby to someone who wanted her.

 
Comment by Dom Gibson

DON’T YOU GET IT. Even if the DR had shown up ON TIME, it is STILL MURDER.

 
Comment by Tom

It still amazes me that a person can be charged with 2 murders after killing a pregnant woman, but abortions are legal. When in fact the murderer just robbed the woman of her choice that’s all. It’s a double standard. These people need to be jailed and the clinic closed, but I think they all should be closed – it’s murder plain and simple no matter when it’s performed. And I am SO glad my taxes are going to pay for abortions all over the world thanks to Obama. But then again maybe abortion should be legal, after all there will probably be less liberals in the world in fifty years……..

 
Comment by Amanda

I’m an RN with over 20 years’ experience ( none in abortion clinics), and this news story is upsetting to me.
There were grievous wrongs committed on many levels. FACTS:
1) A woman should know she’s pregnant in the first trimester. A safe, inexpensive legal abortion could have been done at a reputable clinic long before she ” decided”.
2) A clinic run by a doctor with this many problems should have been shut down long before this death in 2006. I wonder if it and the other one Ms. Williams patronized are still operable? If so, close them.
3) Licensed personnel should have been present when the clinic opened every day who were trained in emergency delivery, CPR resuscitation and calling 911 for emergency transport. The clinic was responsible for planning for medical emergencies for the women and especially for live births since they chose to do late term abortions.
4) Both the clinic worker ( license status unclear except that she was not an MD) who trashed a breathing neonate and the doctor are culpable for negligent homicide.
5) It matters not what Ms. Williams wanted or wants. The facts of the case are without emotion or political bias. The facts are that a woman with a fetus near viability was allowed to labor for hours without an MD in attendance. A live birth ensued, because there was air in the lung cells on autopsy. This makes the case a homicide. NOT A CIVIL SUIT!
God help the USA.

 
Comment by Shelly

Until we convince women that abortion is murder this will continue to happen. It wasn’t the doctor that killed the baby, it was the clinic owner.

The mother wanted her baby dead, now it is dead. This is what she wanted, except she wanted them to kill the baby before she had a chance to breath.

Why didn’t she just use birth control pills?

 
Comment by purplehaired amanda

Do you think this doesn’t happen everyday??? And Obama wants to make it perfectly legal!!!! Hey all you out there who voted for him—this is what you voted for–to make this legal–that’s what FOCA is all about!!! If you voted for Obama, take a minute and look at your hands–do you see this baby’s blood there, for surely it is there in God’s eyes! Obama might SAY this kind of thing is horrific, but his votes as a senator say otherwise! And he will most likely be signing it into law soon if he gets his way. As for the girl, what do you expect her to believe about the child in her womb. She has been told by the school system and TV that it wasn’t really a baby in there. Imagine her horrible shock when she saw that the thing inside her was real human baby girl!!! I pray that the horror of that moment spurs her into a lifelong vocation of fighting this evil and that God will heal her heart in time as only He can. And to everyone out there who is outraged by this and have any faith in the One True God—pray that God would do a mighty work and change Obama’s heart. Pray that God would turn his heart from evil and cause him to do only good. It wouldn’t be the first time God has done such an awesome thing (brush up on your Old Testament history.) We are called to pray for our enemies and to love them, not blow them up—that’s one thing that certainly sets following Jesus apart from following Mohammed.

 
Comment by Julie

Dr. Manny’s comments imply that the death of this baby happened because of the doctor’s incompetance or some glitch in the medical procedure. Like the doctor’s history of malpractice and the way he practices is what killed this baby and caused such a reactin from the community. BE HONEST -what happened here is no different thant what they like to call ‘partial birth abortion’. the baby is alive. the doctor or whomever is conducting the procedure, licensed properly or not, is then killed or left to die. Mr. Obama says this is ok too.
Why are people who are normally for ‘choice’ and for abortion outraged and upset by this situation. it is exactly what all abortions are, murder.

 
Comment by Kim

This is horrible. What really bothers me is that everyone is up in arms because this poor baby was just “tossed in the garbage” and “had a slim chance to survive” and questions if it’s murder. But if the doctor had been there and killed the baby a second before it was born, then it was a legitimate abortion? Does that make sense? It’s either a baby, or it’s not. This woman waited 23 weeks to decided she didn’t want the baby and can pay a doctor to kill it instead of giving to a family that can’t have children and that’s her choice, but the doctor is late and that same “tissue” she was going to allow killed dies seconds later and it’s murder? Woman have many choices. She can choose whether or not to have sex- with the obvious exception of rape. She can choose whether or not to use protection. She can choose to raise her child, choose another family to raise her child or leave her child with a hospital worker and let them choose a family for the child. Like or not, having an abortion when the fetus is the size of a peanut is her choice. But having the baby killed that’s big enough to live outside the womb is not a choice. It’s murder. If a woman had a baby at 23 weeks and someone came in and killed the baby, it would be in every newspaper as a terrible tragedy and murder. I just don’t understand the double standard. At 23 weeks a baby has it’s little fingers and toes and can recognize it’s mommy’s voice. It can feel pain. It is a girl or boy. It’s a baby.

 
Comment by Justy

How about putting him in prison while they are at it? And the person who cut the cord also! If that young girl had given birth in a hotel room or at school and thrown the baby in the trash she would be going to jail! Why are these people any different? Our children are thrown in the trash and then we wonder why people have no respect for life! Horrible beyond words!

 
Comment by john paul

I cannot understand why this doctor and whatever staff was assisting him are not being charged with murder. This is simply the worst case I have read about in many years.

 
Comment by steve

Of course this should happen. Why on earth not? A few moments before birth this child was “unwanted tissue,” and had the good abortion doctor’s golf game, third martini or traffic problems not intervened it was scheduled to end up in the same trash bag anyway. Completely legal, and thoroughly rationalized by the depraved proponents of this very practice.

Shame, shame, on all of us. And now, we may add, from the top down.

 
Comment by terri harris

how about just burn him?

 
Comment by Verbose

As most pet owners eventually find out, part of pet ownership is euthanizing them when the time comes. When my veterinarian euthanizes a pet, he delivers a sedative before the lethal injection. The pet dies while lying on a table being stroked. After one pet’s death, as I was getting in my car, I saw through the window the vet tech carrying the body of my cat to the room with the freezer in it. She was walking slowly with the cat’s body cradled gently in her arms. That is respect for life, and we even give that respect to our pets.

This little baby was also euthanized, in a way. But she was given no sedative, wasn’t held or comforted, and she was stuffed in a trash bag with the afterbirth, and allowed to die in the garbage.

We treat our animals better than this!

 
Comment by Holly

I don’t agree with abortion for myself but I agree that there are times that it may happen per se. From what I have read everyone has jumped to the conclusion that this 18 year old was sane, healthy, and the baby came about in a “normal way” No one seems to have asked if she was raped, if she is mentally unable to care for it, if it was incest, if she would have died if the kid was born full term. I can’t judge due to not knowing the whole story. I also can’t judge because there is only one person that can judge us in the end and it will not be my peers.

 
Comment by Frank P.

Obama could not find a Bible in the whole White House ? COME ON AMERICA….!! This ‘first’ ooops ! was not staged so that the OFFICIAL swearing in so that Obama wanted no part of Jesus Christ? 1 and 1 make 2 . Simple math folks. Simple math. Do you think everything Ronald Reagan did was staged ? Obama makes Reagan look like a High School Student of drama.

 
Comment by disgusted with liberalism

The AP headline “Florida Clinic Botched Abortion…” is a lie in itself. The woman came to the clinic expecting an abortion, but she never got it. The baby was before the doctor was there. It was not “botched.” She gave birth, and they murdered the baby — and who would dare say it was not a baby — she had air in her lungs. I also liked how AP said “it” was tossed in the trash. No, she, the little baby, was dumped in a plastic bag and left to die in a trash can. What monsters. Liberals are monsters, and liberalism is montrous. What horrible, sickening monsters you liberals are. You thoroughly disgust me.

for one the person (you) just voted into office wants to make this legal!! so this is what the world is coming to, we are killing our children for no good reason, i think if you get an abortion you should get branded like the olden days so people know just what you are a BABY KILLER! people who have abortions should be ashamed of themselves that is your child and your blood and a baby is a baby no matter how old-a minute concived or 8 months. i hope they have fun when they meet their maker and he asks why did you kill the baby i gave you, and then banishes them to hell to burn forever. why not just put them up for addoption, there are many people who are not able to have kids and maybe that baby was realy meant for them you were just the vesle to carry it and now you killed their hopes and dreams because you were selfish and a baby killer.

 
Comment by Robert

When considering the many many people wanting to have children and cannot…when considering the many people wanting and willing to adopt, this story makes me both sad and sick. As a recent visitor to a NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit) for premature babies, I know that there is a small chance that a 23-week old CAN survive. That “so called” doctor should not only have his license removed, he should be executed for murder.

How do ya’ll feel about the fact that Hitler banned abortions? He wanted more of his “pure” race to kill off the others (Jews, Gypsys Catholics and others.. anyone who wasn’t white and blond..) Then there’s the morning after pill and certain types of IUD..

I’m always amazed at the things that rile up the press and make news. If this “young mother” (what a joke) had accomplished what she went to the clinic to do, is there anyone out there who thinks that would have made the news? Why then, pray tell, is this news?????? Poor, precious, unloved, soft, beautiful, perfectly made, angelic, sweet, cuddly, and wonderfully innocent little girl who was created in the image of our loving God – she rests in His arms. Wake up America and see this outrage for what it is – it is most assuredly the death of an innocent – millions of them since that heinous day in January 1973… We disobey God’s laws at our own peril.

We will reap what we sow. How sad that everyone is in uproar about this’live baby girl’ had the young girl hsd the abortion and gone her merry way we would had not heard a thing about this…just another aborted{murdered} baby. You voted and got Obama elected and this is exactly what he wants to happen and will make sure it is done. Hip Hip Hooray! Abortion is wrong now matter how you look at it.

 
Comment by Maria R.

Everyone including the “mother”, need to be put in jail for murder. I had my first born five days after my 18th birthday and it never crossed my mind to abort or give up my son. Before I graduated from high school, one of my school mates had to have an early hysterectomy and will never ever be able to have her own child, it broke her heart, all this at the age of 17. Now you have people who can, don’t realize it is a gift to be able to have a baby and they are killing off babies. Even if the “mother” in this case didn’t want the baby, there are laws now where you can leave the baby at a hospital with no questions. I am in Florida and a mother of 3 (including my fiance’s little girl who I am adopting. I am lost for words. The “mother” wanted the baby dead, well, she got it. She can’t complain. As for the president I didn’t vote for him because of the fact he is okay with seeing children die.

50,000,000 million “abortions” since jan 22,1973 and counting. Less than 2% where mothers life was in danger or rape-incest was involved….wonder how many at 23 plus weeks? But it is not murder cause we say it isn’t. I guess it all depends on the spelling, not the facts or actions. We have disconnected our actions from our morals….very sad……

 
Comment by Maria R.

Everyone that was in on this baby’s death, including the “mother”, should be charged with murder. I had my first born when I was 18 years of age. If anything my son gave me the strength to finish high school and go to college. Never did it cross my mind to abort or give away my son. While I was in my last year of high school a class mate at the age of 17 had to get an early hysterectomy, she will never be able to have children of her own, it broke her heart. It is a gift and an honor to be able to have children, so many can’t and here you have the ones that can and don’t want to. There is such thing as birth control. As a matter of fact clinics give out condoms for free. At least they do here, in live in Florida now. I am a mother of 3 including my fiance’s little girl who I am adopting. I am lost for words. I didn’t vote for the president because of his view of abortion and letting children die. The “mother” wanted the baby dead, and the baby is. Now why is she complaining? If she wanted the baby so much why didn’t she go to the hospital?

 
Comment by Another Kelly

This is exactly why abortion should be illegal. With all the education and contraceptives available today there is no reason why any woman should or would resort to abortion. Statistics have shown that of the women who get pregnant while on contraceptives, the vast majority did not use them properly. Statistics also show that most women have abortions because it is not convenient for them to be pregnant. Abortion in the cases of rape, incest or maternal health make up a very small percentage of all abortions performed. In short, abortion is used most frequently as a method of birth control and family planning. This is exactly what the pro-choice movement wants: free abortion on demand. Why should my tax dollars pay for something that I am vehemently opposed to? Where is my choice to not support this heinous practice? Why is it okay for women to have the right to choose but not okay to expect women to exercise self-control and responsibility? And how can these doctors sleep at night knowing they are breaking the major tenet of their oath: First do no harm?

 
Comment by doug

50,000,000 “abortions” since 1-22-1973 less than 2 % invovled mothers health or rare incest…..wonder how many were at plus 23 weeks?

It is sad that more and more our morals are disconnected from our actions……remember class abortion at 23 weeks is not murder, say it ain’t so Joe………

Comment by Pam

If this teen mother had been driving to the abortion clinic and a drunk driver hit her and the baby died, The driver would be charged with manslaughter. He would be sent to prison possible for life. It’s quite ironic that she can go into the clinic and have an abortion and its ok. What is wrong with this picture??

 
Comment by Carolyn

Yes, this was murder…but please have mercy on the poor mother. Yes, she choose this, but I am sure will be haunted her entire life. All you women who have gone through the horror of abortion be SILENT NO MORE!!!! Please speak up, help the other women. There is a better way. Just a few more months, and she would have gone through birth naturally. She gave birth…just a little bit earlier. I am confident she regrets her decision and God willing she will soon be able to teach others a better way.
In every town there are agencies who help post-abortive women, project rachel for one and silent no more is another.

Any nation that continues to kill its children will cease to exist.

All of you crying foul
would you care for this child
would you stop to say hi on the street regardless of sex, race, gender or religion
would you give him/her a job when an adult to perhaps stop him/her from going to prison
would you send him/her to college
would you save him/her from the viciousness of a potential criminal attact
would you stop him/her from becoming a criminal
would you support and admire the potential “Star” and wish the best for him/her
would you be a friend or foe to him/her

The ‘TRUE’ hate crime, ABORTION in any form.

Comment by Tammy S

don’t people understand that Late term abortions produce a live fetus. Just because the doctor didnt arrive to perform the procedure herself, doesnt mean the staff wasn’t doing “common practice procedures” by disgarding the fetus in the trash alive or not. THIS IS WHY LATE TERM ABORTIONS SHOULD BE ILLEGAL. Didn’t the state of California just prosecute a man for killing his wife and UNBORN FETUS. I am sorry, but at 20 weeks, a fetus is moving with arms and legs inside that womans body too the point that a person can feel the child. 23 weeks is just too late to take the abortion route in my opinion. Woman know they are pregnant between 6 to 12 weeks, and 12 weeks is really pushing it. There should be no need to allow people to abort so late into the pregnancy. I knew I was pregnant by the 5 th week of gestation on all my preganancies. I could never choose the abortion route personally, but women in certain circumstances, like rape or incest, should have the right to terminate a pregnancy within a humane timeframe before the 12th week.

 
Comment by Jenn

I believe a young woman of 18 should know well in advance, BEFORE 23 weeks whether or not she wanted to terminate this pregnancy. Sycloria Williams learned the hard way that an abortion at six weeks is the same as an abortion of 23 weeks; an ending of life. It’s a decision she will have to live with for the rest of her life. She might try to believe that other people coerced her into terminating her pregnancy but the decision falls squarely on her shoulders. I don’t know what she expected, but it wasn’t going to be pretty.

That being said, Dr. Pierre Jean-Jacque Renelique and Belkis Gonzalez should be charged with murder. ‘Baby Shanice’ deserved SO much more than what she got. If anything good happens from this tragedy the Clinic and other clinic’s like this will be shut down.

And just to set the record straight, I am not Pro-Life. I believe terminations are sometimes necessary. I do not believe they should be used as contraception however.

 
Comment by Scott

They should do more than take away his license. Everyone involved in this horrific situation should be charged with murder. I’m in anguish over this story. What has our country become?

 
Comment by Emily

I don’t understand how a few inches down the birth canal can possibly change the moral status of a human being. The truth is, it doesn’t. Whether in the womb or outside the womb murder was committed. Children just like this are being brutally murdered every day.

Our own president was the only one in the senate who voted yes on the Born Alive Act that would make this very crime perfectly LEGAL. Are we going to sit back and continue to watch this happen in our country?

May God have mercy on us.

Whats the matter with all you stupid people, so outraged by this and yet your great savior Obama agrees with this procedure, and you voted for him. Think you might have made a teeny weeny mistake there. Well you got what you wanted, now live with it.

Maybe it’s not to late,and Preident Obama will hear the cries of his country, may they translate into the cries of all the unborn souls. May he have a “change” of heart on all his abortion policies.

 
Comment by Mrs.Me! ME!ME!!!

This is sick absolutley sick and to think the mother now wants sympathy not a chance in Hell. I hope that is where she goes. Why would anyone want to kill a baby? Some people don’t think of them as a human till they are breathing air and even then to some dip sh*ts it is questionable. Studies show that a baby can hear and feel in the first few trimester and by the middle they can hear. But that didn’t stop the BEAST did it?? The clinic not only tells these BEASTS what they are going to do but they also have pamphlets to show them that is sick too. Well I hope that baby sticks in this BEASTS EYES for ever. If this traumatised Beast was so up set then why did it take a week to go get the remains and was it her that even called the authorities? This is going to be a very hard case for the whole world to digest.Abortion is MURDER from the first M and thought!!!!!!!!! BIOTCH!!!

 
Comment by 321

I found the outrage from the left surprising. If the doctor had been present and done what they were supposed to do, the child would have been killed while inside the mother’s body. This didn’t happen, and the child died outside the mother’s body. Why should this make a difference? Why should travelling a distance of a few inches (the length of her vagina) make any difference?

Abortion is murder.

 
Comment by Bonnie

The only difference between a baby that has just been conceived and a full-term baby living on its own (or an adult, for that matter) is size and degree of development. Every single thing that will be part of that human being is present at the moment of conception – all the DNA from the mother’s egg and the father’s sperm is all there – nothing more is added later. So how can it be more right to kill this human being when it is younger (first trimester) than when it is older (late term)? You can only justify this by claiming that somehow it isn’t really a human being until some arbitrarily chosen point. It goes against the facts, but this view is useful in taking charge of your mistake, so that you’re not “punished with a baby.” But that really blows up when you are forced to look at physical reality of what you are talking about and can no longer deny that this is a baby. Shock and disgust follow. Ugly, isn’t it? Well, murder has never been pretty and killing an innocent human being has always been murder. In the history of the world, many people have been killed because they were declared non-human – millions of babies, Jews in Nazi Germany, African slaves in America, and Tutsis in Rwanda.

As outrageous as this incident is, I’m glad to see it getting press coverage. Maybe it will get some people to think about what is actually happening and they won’t be able to pretend it’s OK anymore. God forgive America.

 
Comment by frank

Our president of “Hope and Change” considers an unwanted baby a burden. He said it in a speech. What do we do when our trash can is burden with garbage? We throw it out. What hope for a life did that little baby have when it was born alive if the most powerful person in USA considers it a burden? The only change I see in the new administration is a total disrespect for the sanctity of life.
It is a Pro Abortionists deception and lie that legalizing abortion will eliminate unsafe, “back alley” abortions. Killing is a legalized business and babies are the prey.

 
Comment by Joseph Saglimbeni

Dear Dr. Manny,

I’m confused. Is this only a horrifying case of malpractice because the baby was delivered before the “doctor” had a chance to abort it? Let me get this straight; if the doctor had arrived in time and aborted the baby before the woman went into labor – this would have been okay? Either way a dead baby would have ended up in a plastic bag as “medical refuse.” I’m “shocked and disgusted” and deeply saddened at the state of our quickly, degenerating society.

 
Comment by john g

as a FAR LEFT LIBERAL, I’d like to say that this highlights the problem with our abortion debate. We need to draw a line. We’re so afraid of slippery slopes that we are murdering babies. I’m all for a ban on any abortion after a defined date, say 16 weeks, except in cases of the mothers health, which would need to be signed off on by at least more than one doctor and perhaps a bi-partisan local council. Yes, as a lefty I see that as a lot of red tape for that occasional mother who really does have some surprise medical issue come up at 23 weeks, but that red tape is infinitely less offensive than the murdering of babies. Now, a date- like 16 weeks or something- aught to be set based on evidence as to the development of the fetus. After a certain day for purposes of the law the baby cannot be murdered.

in concert with this effort we need to fund education -fact based, not religious propaganda, to teach women about early term abortion options. This is a rational approach, as opposed to our current spewing of irrational dogma from both sides. Sheesh.

Comment by Chris D

This case is no different than any other abortion at that late stage, other than the baby took in oxygen on her own. Some of those who favor legalized abortion are not affected by this a bit. Others are appalled for two reasons: 1. The baby was ‘alive’ when she died and, 2) She was thrown out unceremoniously. Those who favor legalized abortion and who find this act reprehensible show the impossible argument that the pro-legalized abortion side has. The only way abortion can be legal is if the child is not considered a human being. Is breathing the arbitrary transition to gaining ones humanity? This argument is patently illogical and inane. If not, then why not throw the baby in the trash? She’s not human. One minute before her birth, the mother and clinicians were making preparations to tear the baby’s flesh apart, or otherwise ending her life to ensure she didn’t breathe air before being unceremoniously thrown in the trash. So, that’s where we are as a society. It’s time people realize that the real intent of legalized abortion is not to preserve anyone’s rights, but to rid the world of as many low-income, mostly minority children so we don’t have to subsidize them and/or deal with them when they grow up to become troublesome adults. This is very similar to what the Nazis had been doing, not to mention what communists are still doing. The legalized abortion argument is steeped in confusion and evil.

 
Comment by circle8

I hope people are not dumb enough to think this is one of a kind. This happens quite a bit for abortions when the baby has reach a stage where life is probable. These people don’t care about the baby or the health of the mother. They only care about the cause. Check out this clinic and you will find people who are liberal, against the death penalty and believe in late term abortion and probably want to legalize all dope. You know the one where they deliver the bay to within 1-2 seconds of a live birth and then they rip the soft skull open and vacuum out the brains causing an other than instant death.

 
Comment by Sonia

There is a market for abortions because there are unwanted pregnancies. Educate people and get us back in good moral standing. With Freedom comes Responsibility, we live in a society where everything goes. It starts at home, then our community, then our state and only then government. If it does not start at home… the chain up to government is a loose cannon.

Everybody seem to be voicing strong opinions at this incident that actually happens over and over every day, where did you think it was going to stop.

WHEN ARE WE GOING TO GET INVOLVED, THE ONLY REASON IT IS LAW, IS BECAUSE SOMEONE HAD SUPPORT TO PASS IT AS LAW AND A LACK OF OPPOSITION.

Join an anti-abortion group to help them convince the government that the majority of people think abortions are wrong and petition your senator abortion issues and the Freedom of Choice Act.

GET INVOLVED IN ISSUES THAT AFFECT US ALL, YOU HAVE A VOICE.

 
Comment by Clifton

What is the freaking difference??? Tossing the baby out was a horrible thing to do yes, but KILLING it is okay? I’m not quite sure I see a difference. I am a pretty open minded person and thank God I have never been in the position to have to choose (I think there are some cases in which I would choose). My question to the people is “how is treating the baby like trash and killing it in the womb by the most violent process in the world and tossing it out with the trash and it suffocating any different? Both make the child suffer, at the cost of a person who is not “mature” or able to support the child. Maybe THIS is why God wants sex to be saved for marriage?

 
Comment by Fran V

This is a disgrace. Where does this woman get off filing any kind of complaint??? She got what she wanted! All parties involved are absolutely an abomination and should be tried for murder. Took her 23 weeks of pregnancy to decide she would be unfit as a mother, but this was the better route? Are you kidding me? If you are grown up enough (and pardon me for being frank) to spread your legs and lay down like an adult, you are ‘grown up’ for the consequences… It’s not my place to judge; but Lord…

 
Comment by Patricia

The reality is abortion is here to stay. It will never go away. we have the sophistication of technology and current medicine to interven as early as the morning after. In many cases women already know or fear the repurcussion of their actions and are generally in control of their emotions to make a decision that would have an outcome that could be livable and do-able if done early in the first few week. It’s a problem when the secend trimester begins and clearly this child is now fully surviving and breathing w’in the safety of the mother’s womb. Termination is a violent and malicious assault to this child who will be murdered by suctioning him out into a vacuum that will grind him into pulp and then discarded. I held my friends hand during this procedure and was horrifiand seeing the chards of bones grounfd w/ blood and tossed in the trash. We were both in our late 20’s and 15 years later we still cry about the child. I always think if you can decide to have an abortion, you can also decide to NOT have it. We must make adoptions easier for women and for families wanting to adopt. The US continues to favor the birth mothers. My girlfriend , adopted 2 boys- at the end of each year both were given back to the birth mothers. No-one one in this case one.
We are not a murderous society.We must insist on strong moral code of conduct that will help to education women and families as to the many options availble to them .

 
Comment by Jack Lee

I can’t help but think of the “sad stories” of women who went to the back-alley doctors for their abortions. Now that it is legal to muder babies, these terrible things are not supposed to happen any more (so the abortionists say). Wake up! If this were happening to cats and dogs the freaks in Hollywood would be all over it and someone would be in jail. If the founding fathers knew we would use our laws to murder babies, it would break their hearts.
If we keep killing our children, our country will become weak and ripe for invasion or to be overthrown.
Luke 17:2 “It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea, than that he would cause one of these little ones to stumble.” God forgive us….

 
Comment by Kristan

Can I point out the utter hypocrisy here? If the baby were in-utero when she/he was murdered/aborted, there would be no outcry from Pro-Choice individuals!!!! What happens exactly, during the physical process of giving birth that changes the baby from a ‘FETUS WITH NO HUMAN RIGHTS’ to a ‘HUMAN BEING WITH RIGHTS’? I can’t believe that the so-called intelligent Pro-Choice community has the gall to encourage a woman to allow a doctor to inhumanely end her child’s life when it’s inside of her body but then scoff when the baby gets dumped after birth! I shake my head in sadness when I hear of the disregard for this precious child’s existence. How dare anyone throw a life away. You are NOT God!!!

 
Comment by shatteredmen

As the director of Shattered Men, a ministry for abuse victims, I have talked to many women who have had abortions. Several were suicidal on the anniversary dates of their abortions. I have talked to dozens of men who were in distress because their babies were aborted and they could do nothing to protect them also.

I find several major problems with this clinic. First, this woman was given MEDICATION by someone other then a licensed medical staff and a planned abortion was carried out by non-licensed staff also. Should not these people who did this be charged with practicing medicine without a license at the very least? I personally would not contest a murder charge and at the very least again, a man-slaughter charge against the person who did not do emergency care for a LIVE birth.

Human life is not valued any longer in our society. I ask…why it is so easy to throw away a life just for the convenience of someone else. Pro choice should be called exactly what it is…PRO-DEATH!

 
Comment by Art Oakes

While focusing on the deaths of the innocents tugs at some people’s humanity, I never have heard someone address the core thought on slaughtering the innocents. That is: Someone must die because they don’t live up to someone’s great expectations or are an inconvenience. Everyone has a stake in this matter because everyone has or will not live up to someone’s great expectations, especially the worn out gray hairs like me.

So, if you believe that there is a cultural war going on, consider that war is deadly and the historic reasons for war are: dominion over territory and treasure. Having lived through the counter-culture sixties I can tell you that the word WASP (White, Anglo-Saxon, Protestant) was conjured up and used to carry on the cultural war by the political left at this time.

If you consider that the definition of genocide is: The systematic elimination of a racial or ethnic group. Then, count the 1.4 children born to white couples versus the 3.6 children born to couples of color and consider that the abortion issue numerically adds up to genocide and that is only numerically important and if the program is not being “sold” to one race.

 
Comment by az_mommma

I’m curious as to where the mother was. They said she went into labor and gave birth. So does that mean she did nothing to stop this from happening?? And if so, where are the charges against her, there is no way she could have thought this was normal!

 
Comment by Craig

Some of us worry about the welfare of known terrorists and yet we still kill millions of human babies. This is not good and God is watching.

 
Comment by amyvolk

This is absolutely horrible. No doubt. But, it is no more horrible than partial-birth abortion, which President Obama and his team in Congress want women to have full access too. The media should be doing an investigative report on the process of partial birth abortion and allow the American people to decide whether it is equally as horrible as this incident or just a women’s “choice”.

 
Comment by Christina Dunigan

What we’re forgetting is that things like this are literally an everyday occurrence. The last admission from the Centers for Disease Control was that about 400 live births were reported in the US every year — and far more must be happening, because, as the CDC’s Willard Cates pointed out, reporting such births is “like turning yourself in to the IRS for an audit.”

Nobody knows the fates of these babies. Sometimes they make the news, like Shaniece. A few examples are Baby W., that Dr. William Waddill strangled in a California NICU in front of a horrified pediatrician and several nurses; Gianna Jessen, the abortion surviver who co-founded Born Alive Truth; and the unidentified baby Texas doctor Raymond Showery drowned in front of several of his staff.

Again, ramp up the outrage a bit. This sort of thing happens literally every day. What’s the real shocker to me is the the media are actually covering the story.

 
Comment by Maura

This makes me sick. I am pro choice but believe in responsibility. Why would you carry a baby for 6 MONTHS and then abort? Why didn’t this girl abort within weeks of getting pregnant? Why aren’t people using emergency contraception like the morning after pill? Come on…take some responsibility for your actions!

 
Comment by Sherry Guess

Dr. Manny,
I appreciate hearing of your concern for the Dr.’s culpability, however the main issue has been pointed out in this article but not addressed. As a physician, surely you recognize that this was a baby, a tiny human being whose life was cut short by an ill-informed young mother. She came face to face with her own child that she paid to have killed in a contract murder. Her gripe is that she came face to face with her decision to kill her baby. If she had not plunked down $1,200 and made several trips in order to take the poisons voluntarily, none of this would have occurred. The young woman would have been making a trip to a delivery room in approximately 18 more weeks to witness the birth of her daughter.

The physician’s oath taken at licensure says something to the effect “First, do no harm”. No law of man can overtake God’s 5th commandment “Thou shalt not kill”. We can call this a “procedure”, but that doesn’t change the facts in this case one bit. The evidence spoke for itself in this case literally. That poor little baby was struggling to survive the murder and that is what the mother of her child witnessed. May God have mercy on her.

 
Comment by Christine

23 weeks? It’s MORBID. This entire story is disgusting. There is a HUGE difference between a first trimester abortion, and termination at 23 weeks! The FETUS HAS NO chance of survival outside the womb at say 5-6 weeks, or 12 weeks for that matter. What took place in Tampa is criminal.

 
Comment by RobinK from Illinois

For the people who speak of viability and that is where they draw the line on what should be ‘legal and acceptable’ when performing an abortion, here is the definition of viability: Capacity for survival……..hmmmm, I pray that you never become a victim of an unfortunate accident or disease that might put you in a situation of not being able to survive on your own….wouldn’t you hate to be on the receiving end of a situation like that where someone else decides whether you are ‘viable’ or not???? So much for modern medicine and the grace of God….you’d be outta here……..Bottom line, it’s all murder pure and simple.

 
Comment by ballard

As a doctor, I’m sure you were not inclined to comment beyond the malpractice issue at hand. While I’m no lawyer, tests showed the baby had taken a breath. To me that means it was a life and therefore murder was committed the moment the baby was discarded. At the very least, as a medical facility they have an ethical obligation to preserve life not hasten it’s end. While on the surface this story can lend itself to the late term abortion issue but -for me-this particular case is more an issue of criminal and ethical behavior.

 
Comment by Scarlett

What’s the big deal? Why the big outcry now? What is the difference between this and the fact that Obama voted against the ‘Born Alive Act’. Maybe this worker at the abortion clinic just agreed with Obama that no medical measures be taken to help ‘it’ survive. Maybe she just took it a step further by not providing a blanket for ‘it’ until ‘it’ stopped breathing on ‘it’s’ own. I mean, after all, wouldn’t it have just caused more complications?? Wasn’t that the argument Obama had about providing medical help to abortion survivors? Why is this case of an abortion survivor any different, because a doctor wasn’t present? The outcome is still the same, folks! Where’s the outcry for any and all abortion survivors?
Maybe now someone will listen to their silent cry. Dare you to move. Dare you to have a heart.

 
Comment by susan

Let’s not forget WHO went to the abortion clinic and paid the 1200.00 in the first place!! Mommie wanted her baby murdered and she got it! She bought a product (murder) and product (murder) was performed! She doesn’t deserve one red cent, not even a refund of her $1200.00 blood money! We as americans are becoming lower than animals. Jesus, come quickly!

 
Comment by Beth

I’m in agreement with Robert. Every day, our “civilized” society shows wanton disregard for the multitudes of unborn torn from their mothers’ wombs legally. We should be disgusted everyday, not only when cases like this occur, but every single moment that our society allows this genocide of innocents.

 
Comment by Bob Cole

If it is legal to kill a fetus up until delivery, then why not after ?? This is the slippery slope many have talked about and now we are sliding down it. It’s either a child from conception on or it’s not. Can’t have it both ways.

 
Comment by Colleen

I am in tears! And in shock! What have we become? This is murber of an innocent, little baby. The horiffic act of what happened will also torment those involved forever. An abortion is nothing more than a polite, politically correct term to murder for convenience.

 
Comment by Jeanine

Even legally this man should be charged with murder. For example we all know of Scott Peterson, who was convicted of 2 counts of murder for his wife lacy as well as the child she was carrying. So if the child is attached to the mother you go to San Quentin State Prison & wait for lethal injection and if the mother is not killed you may not be able to practice medicine on women? Outrageous! P.S. I am no fan of Scott Perterson he was just the example at hand.

 
Comment by Becky

This story shows you that all abortions are deadly; it results in the death of a human being. People have become so desensitize to the point that they are willing to kill infants. Lets hope this public outrage brings about social change in this area. Truely this is a culture of death.

 
Comment by kathy Rupprecht

I am so confused also. Dr. Manny, you discuss in your blog the terrible treatment of the 18 year old woman. In fact to quote you… “a severe lack of proper medical care provided to a young woman.” Hmm, perhaps I didn’t get all the facts? I didn’t read ANYTHING about mistreatment of this 18 year old. She wanted her child dead. Her child is dead? WHAT IS THE PROBLEM?.

This poor Clinic owner. In fact, we as LAW MAKERS hail, encourage and protect such medical procedures every day as long as the mother is made to feel good about it. As long a mom doesn’t really have to face what is truly happening.. The ONLY “problem” I can see is that the mother saw the child alive. She feels extreme remorse and guilt and she wants the same man she went to to kill her child to now pay for the fact that she was made to deal with the stark reality that SHE CHOSE to end her child’s life. And it didn’t sound in the article that HER life was in danger. I thought “late term” abortions were for mother’s that their life would be in danger if they had the child…. hmmm? Strange.

This whole situation would have been fine IF the Dr. had just drilled the whole in the back of the little girls head and sucked out its brains so the mom would not have seen her alive. It allllll makes since, doesn’t it?

I DO NOT lack compassion for this young mother. I am very sad that she will carry that image with her for the rest of her life.

You go Doctor!! But instead of burning down the center… we could turn it into a Crisis Pregnancy Center :)

 
Comment by Kirsten

Obviously this woman/girl changed her mind when she actually saw the baby. I think women need to be educated that this isn’t an unidentifiable blob that magically turns into a baby once it comes out of the mother’s body (or if they actually “want” it). Then perhaps they’d think twice about letting someone slaughter their unborn child. Out of sight, out of mind, I guess.

I also don’t understand why everyone is so upset. This happens all the time, and a lot of you voted in a guy for president that wants to make this exact act legal and fund abortion in other countries. Based on his pro-abortion comments about his daughters, I wonder how many of his own grandchildren he will allow to be killed.

 
Comment by Leah Cline

Why is no one being charged for murder? A person threw away a baby! That is a horrendous crime, and the person who committed the crime needs to be charged with murder. That is inexcusable, only proving, once again, the moral decline of this country. When instances happen like this that are not brought to justice, I am ashamed to be a part of this “free” country.

 
Comment by Lorri

The Doctor and the employees should be charged with murder. The Mother, will never be charged with murder. But she is an adult and really had no reason except selfiness to abort. Adoption is and should be the only alternative at that late stage. God bless that baby. My reference is I was born to a single mother who was offered an abortion by the air force. She refused was honorable discharged. Had me, raised me on her own without any assistance from the government and put me through college. Her take on abortion was that it is murder for convenience sake. I am very glad she made that desicion as well as my husband and my three beautiful children.

 
Comment by Doug

I wonder what choice the little baby girl had. The Mother had one, the Doctor had a choice to be late and the owner had a choice to put the baby in a bag and throw her away like a sandwhich wrapper that you had wiped you mouth with. There better be charges filed thats my choice!!!!

 
Comment by Harry

Those who all of a sudden are “aghast” with this clinic’s actions are a bunch of hypocrites.
Babies are killed in this country on an everyday basis, and they don’t worry about it.
It’s criminal, it’s a shame, we have blood on our hands, and we will answer for it.

 
Comment by Hope

This story is an outrage for a multitude of reasons. Not only should the doctor face charges, but also the nurse who put a live baby in a plastic bag. I can not believe that this would happen. This poor woman that had the abortion should have been counseled about adoption. In my opinion any abortion is murder, but this just proves how horrific late term abortions are. That baby could have been placed with a family that would love and protect it, instead it was thrown away as trash. It makes me sick.

 
Comment by kevin

Burn his license and shut down the clinic? Much to kind as far as I am concerned. How about we throw them in a biohazard bag and leave them to suffocate? Not acceptable is it? No. We should prosecute them for murder. I hope the mother lives with the guilt of considering her abortion now and realizes there are countless ways to avoid this such as adoption, abstinence etc…

 
Comment by JILL in W. Lafayette IN

These are the stores that leave SOME of us appalled. What is happening to “people” that “murdering” infants in or out of the womb, and tossing them in to medical garbage ever seems like the right thing to do. How can murder ever somone’s right? I am so saddened by this, and yet I am told it happens ALL THE TIME. How can we, as decent human beings, make this stop. It’s little tiny children being tortured and murdered at the hands of those that are suppose to cradle them, sooth them, love them, and make life a place of joy. And to think that we now have a president who has supported this — I think I am going to vomit!

 
Comment by Benjmain Laurell

America has embraced the culture of death with open arms. Why are we so shocked this abortionist did this? While nationwide rape, murder, euthanasia, suicide, assistant suicide, abortion, incest, pornography….etc is so ingrained and dominant in the American society. Have we become so numb to it all? I honestly believe that Americans have forgotten what it means to suffer. They are so afraid of it, they run from it, they’ve forgotten the honor behind it. Our forefathers are prime examples of what it means to suffer. They gave their lives to ensure future generations freedom. I’m sure they would be ashamed to know those same future generations they died to protect has been denied the most fundamental freedom…the freedom to live. Our generation has become too complacent with these evils and therefore has embraced the culture of death. Besides expressions our feelings on a blog, what more are we doing to rid our society of this? Is not know the time to rid our society of these horrible outrages? May God forgive us and continue to bless this Country.

 
Comment by Sue

I really feel sorry for the mother. At 18 she really had no clue what to do, probably went to Planned Parenthood to ask for help, and they sent her to the clinic – their usual M.O. She probably has nobody in her life she can turn to for advice and so she made an awful choice. If the clinic had provided counseling and sonograms and more information I believe she might have made a completey different choice. I forgive her for her mistake, just as Jesus will forgive her if she turns to him and asks for it. That is why He died on the cross for us, to bear our sins and our errors and forgive every sin, not just some selectively (remember He said if you break even one commandment you’ve broken them all!). She will have to live with this for the rest of her life. Would you want to be castigated for your entire life for every mistake you’ve ever made? I think not. Forgive her, offer her caring and compassion and love to help her erase the pain and anguish she is going through. Some day you may need such treatment yourself. Wouldn’t it be a better place we live in if everyone wore their mistakes on their sleeve – we wouldn’t be so quick to throw stones at everyone else.

 
Comment by Brian Kalish

I am disgusted. My wife and I spent over $20K in fertility and came up with nothing. And yet…there was a baby girl that nobody wanted and didn’t want enough so it was tossed in the trash. White, Black, Yellow or Brown, we would have loved that little girl and gave her a chance rather than throw her in the trash. Granted, I am not going to throw the book at the mother for her decision, but when ya go out of your way and the baby is born rather than aborted, it’s a new book of tricks.

Burn his license and remove whatever certifications the nurse/assistant has and bar her from any medical field in the future. Shame of them as we sit childless, still.

 
Comment by Tim - New York

This is one of the most appalling and deplorable stories I have EVER read. What’s worse is that the Freedom of Choice Act will legalize a procedure that brings a human being literally within inches of the miracle that is birth. This child was fully delivered and breathing O2 on its own. Partial birth abortion requires a Dr. to drag a baby breech through the birth canal until the back of the head can be exposed. The baby stays inside the Mother allowing a “murderer” to slam a pair of scissors into the baby’s skull. The “murderer” increases the size of the hole and a suction device removes the baby’s brain. The baby is then delivered still born. My take is that Abortion is one of the most self-serving and despicable acts humanity has ever devised.

 
Comment by dhouse

I truly do not understand the outcry about this case. Had the “procedure” gone as planned, the doctor would have been there before the baby was expelled from the womb so that he could poke a hole in the baby’s head and suck the contents out. And only after death had been achieved, the baby would have been allowed to come out and be placed in the same biohazard bag to be thrown out. In this case, the ONLY difference is the cause of death. Abortion always ends in a horrific death, period.

 
Comment by Tom Townsend

If it is true that the lady that had the litter of eight was on workers compensation for a back injury dating back some 7 years then are we looking at the possibility of fraud. Pregnancy puts a lot of strain on the spine. If fraud is proven then the little lady will be looking at jail time instead of spending time rearing the babies.

 
Comment by A.Kwon

Shut down the clinic and burn the guy’s license, Dr. Manny? Really??? How about charging him with murder!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 
Comment by Denise

I am totally against abortions and so sick of females using abortions as a birth control method.”If I get pregnant, I will just kill it.” God gives people babies for a reason, they are angels that have a guaranteed spot in heaven. A baby depends on there mother to protect them not to murder them! Who does this woman thinks she is, did she not get exactly what she wanted? That baby was alive and had a tiny little heart beat almost from the day of conception and was thrown out in a bag like a piece of garbage! I was 16 when I had my first child and the thought of killing her never crossed my mind. Most of the people that vote to legalize abortions have kids of their own, maybe they need to ask themselves, how they would feel if one of them were murdered…it is the same thing! That baby deserved to live her life just as much as one born to a loving mother would! The whole thing enrages me, the people that were involved and the ones that vote for this kind of thing to be legal. It is a great thing that we serve a forgiving God and that I am not the one that does the final judgement and determines where these people will spend eternity!!!!!!

 
Comment by Toby

Nobody I know can live without oxygen, food, etc., and most kids (even 2 or 3 year olds) wouldn’t be able to survive long wrapped in a plastic bag. Does this mean it’s ok to do it since they wouldn’t be able to survive on their own? Most people I know can’t survive having someone stick a fork in their skull and scramble their brains either, but I guess it’s ok too. We can just take away their medical license… that’ll teach them.

Anyone who is ok with abortion but sees a problem with this is a hypocrite. A baby’s heart starts beating about 10 weeks after they are conceived. Name any other thing in the world that has a heart beat but isn’t “alive”. My son was kicking, hiccuping, stretching and more before he was born. He was definitely alive before he entered this world.

What is the big deal? What is the difference between putting in a bag or any of the other gruesome ways that they kill babies? We should have been outraged a long time ago. There is more to come for all of you that voted Obama in to office.

Why are people so outraged over dumping a baby in the trash? If you slit the neck of a baby or throw it in the trash is the same thing…MURDER. This was a human life and regardless how someone decides to end the babies life it was a life.

 
Comment by eileen boland

why are people so aghast.This happens every day in this country and even more horrible than this.The people of this country need to awaken out of their slumber and realize the greatest evil of all times happens thousands of times every day,the taking of the most innocent of human lives.Nothing will improve in this country unless the killing of the Babies comes to an end,Lord have mercy on the Babies.

 
Comment by Rosemary

This is what so-called “choice” has led to. Don’t be fooled by the legality of the procedures. Most abortion clinics in Florida are as bad or worse than the one mentioned. And the Freedom of Choice Act that the President is promising his NARAL buddies will bring more death and dismemberment with unchecked, late-term abortions, even “partial-birth” abortions. The very name of the latter procedure should have everyone up in arms.
This is akin to genocide, a hate-crime against the smallest, most vulnerable members of our society.
America, let go of your apathy and stand up for life!

 
Comment by Doug Miller

This is horrible! Prosecute the guy, Try the guy, and execute the guy for murder!

BUT why are we surprised? Isn’t this the same thing our Obamanable president pushed to legalize in Illinois???

Great Job you idiots who voted for the Obamanation!

 
Comment by Steve

It’s amazing to me that people seem to be more upset at the way this baby was killed rather than the fact that it was killed at all. What’s all the fuss about? That baby would have been dead later that day anyway and no one would have uttered a sound. This “mother” went there to have her baby killed and she got what she wanted. Why is she now threatening to sue? For what? Is she upset because she had to actually see her own child take it’s last breath? Why doesn’t the prochoice camp have the courage to stand up for this clinic for doing what every abortion clinic does everyday, kill babies. The disgusting hypocrisy of the pro-choice camp is telling.

This happens every day in our country. When will our citizens and legislators stop turning their backs on innocent children? That’s right, children. In plain view, or hidden inside their mother’s wombs, children. Brutally and intentionally murdered. Every day.

 
Comment by Toby

I got my days and weeks confused. I meant to say around 10 days…but it actually may be more like 18 days after conception when the heart starts beating. Still, that is even more proof to me that life is there from the start, not when the baby is exposed to this world.

Comment by Kayla

Abortion is wrong no matter when you get one… it is killing a human….. I don’t understand why so many young girls are getting them….. I am a 21 year old mother of soon to be two and I watched me whole life my mom wanting to have more children but couldn’t….. finally when I was 18 her and my step dad had saved up enough money to do the IVF… and on the third try it was a success…. I just don’t seem to understand how anyone could carry a baby that long and not be attached to it in anyway….. even if you don’t feel you could afford it or mentally handle being a parent there are PLENTY people out there that would love the chance to be a GOOD parent!!!! This just amazes me that we have come to these standards that killing a baby is “okay” as long as it’s still in the mom…. My opinion both the doctor and the mom should be convicted of MURDER!!!!!!

 
Comment by Kevin

I can’t even believe that we, as a nation, as a people, have strayed so far from God’s will that this could happen. We are on an increasingly slippery slope away from what is right and wrong to the point where anything goes…even infanticide. The fact that these people are not already in jail and awaiting trial with a nation standing as one in righteous outrage is absolutely beyond my comprehension.

Now here is the real outrage. WE DON’T GET THIS INDIGNANT OVER EACH AND EVERY ABORTION!!! This is only different BY DEGREE, not by anything substantive. How soon will it be before we, as a nation, will be desensitized even towards a story like this one!

 
Comment by PerryJ

Why take his license away? Obama voted four times to make this legal and we made him President! Over 50 percent of the people voted for Obama and they knew he voted for this atrocity! How can you hold a doctor responsible for what the public is demanding?

 
Comment by BRIAN

What’s the big deal. We just elected a President who voted for this action to be legal!!! It wont be long before this is an everyday situation. The blood of this baby is on the hands of all who voted for Barack Obama.

 
Comment by Wes

I am Pro-Life. I can’t understand why anyone who is pro-abortion would even care about this case. The baby was just as alive in the mother — what is the difference between internal abortion and external abortion? This is why abortions should not even be performed at all. Pro-Lifers are always accused of contradictory beliefs, but the fact that so many pro-abortioners are outraged at this shows that they haven’t given much thought to their view. This was no more immoral than a regular abortion. Abortion ,period, is immoral.

 
Comment by Grace - Florida

As I heard this story on the news, my eyes filled with tears… I cuddled my baby a little longer before putting him to bed last night. I pray that this country’s newly born and unborn citizens will have rights and those who support abortion examine the depths of their hearts and seek the truth. Words cannot describe this atrocious incident… It’s time for the “slaughter of the innocents” to end. It’s time to SAY something, it’s time to DO something and IT’S TIME TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE (if only someone could have guided this panicked pregnant teen). Among other things, Obama wants to reverse The Partial Birth Abortion, the brutal practice of aborting a child who was delivered normally, all but the head, and killed (by a medical instrument lodged into the back of the baby’s neck). It’s a horrible description but the truth needs to be told. Under FOCA, a woman would have the ability to legally abort her child until the moment of birth without any restriction. Planned Parenthood and every other pro-abortion organization/clinic is in the business of watering down the truth. Get the facts and TAKE A STAND: http://www.focafacts.com/FOCAfacts/FOCA_What_Would_Change.asp

 
Comment by R Allen

I don’t know what all the fuss is about. This is EXACTLY what the new president says is perfectly okay to happen. This woman won’t have be BURDENED with this obviously unwanted child. No matter the stupid woman waited until the baby could survive on it’s own, no matter that he/she was a human being. So I guess this the change and hope we can believe in. Not only that but now my tax dollars get to be spent so other countries can murder their children at a cheaper and fast rate. Oh hurray for hope and change. Of course there is not hope for these poor children.

 
Comment by Justice Mom

Dr. Manny, I totally agree! Whatever a person’s side in the abortion debate, clearly this was murder. They should be held on charges.

Comment by pauline

A baby is not a tumor to be removed nor is pregnancy a disease. A human baby is a baby regardless of time of gestation, 6 weeks or 6 months in utero or 6 minutes in live birth. We give more rights to criminals in this country than to human beings who have not yet been born or who have just been born. The first right granted to us is the right to life for without the right to life, no other rights matter.

 
Comment by Tara

so it was okay for her to kill it while it was inside… it was okay until she made eye contact with it… but since that happened now she wants to sue? I say I hope the guilt eats her up and the doctors are charged with murder. How barbaric. I think anyone for abortion should watch one… then get back to us “crazy” folks who think its wrong… who think it is a punishment.

No matter how you dress it up, they are all “these types of clinics”. Their goal is to kill the baby.

Abortion is MURDER!!!!!Someone needs to get this across to President OBama.Our country is going to continue to have severe problems as long as we allow babies to be murdered. There is no respect for life or God. God is turning his back on the USA and one of the reasons is abortion.

 
Comment by Lori P.

Abortions are not a new phenomenon. We just live in an age where they are legal and can be given by doctors. The fact that they have been done for centuries does not make it correct. That is like saying it is okay to still herd the Christians in with the lions and watch the big slaughter fest. We should be more enlightened to suffering in this day and age. We have become more aware of animal suffering, child abuse, treatment of people with disabilities and elder abuse; but on the subject of abortion, people are still screaming about the “right to choose.” There should be no circumstance when a late term abortion is legal; even with Roe Vs. Wade. Even if a mother’s life is in peril, I simply do not believe there is not a way to quickly deliver the baby and save the mother. Abortion is what it is; an ugly taking of a life. I have NO SYMPATHY WHATSOEVER for the mother of this child. At the very, very least, you couldn’t make a decision prior to 23 weeks? Now everyone is supposed to feel sorry for her? She should spend her days haunted by her “choice.” But don’t worry about the mom; I am sure that she will receive plenty of support from The National Organization for Women and other abortion supporting groups. They will salve her conscience and tell her she did nothing wrong and not to feel guilty; it isn’t her fault. She can pretend she is a victim just like her baby. Then one day, it will all come crashing down on her. As for the “doctor,” he should do his thinking in a prison cell. The doctor and his cohorts are guilty of murder; pre-meditated at that. Plain and simple.

 
Comment by Sandy

If that 18 year old woman had killed a 12 year old, she would be tried as an adult, so don’t think of her as a child. She made the decision to kill this baby, and knew what she was doing. When she saw that this liveborn baby was being put into a trashbag, why didn’t she say “Stop!!!” Why didn’t she speak up to rescue the baby? She wanted the baby dead. Now she see’s this as an opportunity to make a lot of money off a lawsuit. Everyone involved should be charged with criminal murder! It is horrible that a 23 week baby can be legally aborted. It is horrible that any baby can be aborted. Women should have more integrity! Don’t use abortion for birth control. If you don’t want to be pregnant, don’t GET pregnant! And our country elected a President who wants to support this? Shame on us. May God have mercy our nation, may we stop and turn our hearts and eyes to God once again.

 
Comment by Donna

I think about those protesting to shut down Gitmo because it’s inhumane, but it is ok to murder a 23 week gestation BABY. We are in a lot of trouble in this country when we do not value human life. I wanted to vomit when I read the story.

I agree with the reader…Dr. Manny, I always watch you on Fox News. The conclusion isn’t to take the guy’s license away…it is to prosecute him and his staff for murder. It is no wonder the girl had no problem going to an abortionist only weeks away from giving birth to a child…look how the medical people (thou shall do no harm) treated this baby…she was nothing but medical waste.

People…we are in trouble when we cannot figure out what the real problem is when something goes wrong. It wasn’t the medical treatment the girl received…it was the fact that she was able to abort a baby at 23 weeks and then the poor baby is thrown out alive. Just sickening.

 
Comment by BRIAN

This is the scary thing about the way liberals think! Subjective outrage is so hard to argue against, because there is no logic behind it.

 
Comment by Anna

Are there words to explain this horrific death? Why did this 18 year old not know about adoption? I would take that baby, any baby, in a heartbeat. I do not understand how a a baby is not a baby simply because it is unwanted. So it is “tissue” if a mother (and she is a mother from the moment of conception whether she wants to be or not) does not want the child and it is suddenly a human life when she does? How in God’s name can anyone believe that? How in God’s Name did we get here? Our country is going down hill so fast and it starts with killing innocent life simply for convenience.

God help us all. The path some of us have chosen is leading to destruction of morals and life. We are throwing away the most precious gift God has given us.

 
Comment by Matt in Florida

As outrageous as this action is, it will merely become a topic of debate until the next travesty occurs. Then we will focus our attention elsewhere. The topic of debate and value of opinion is meaningless if the apathy of the silent majority merely views such shocking events as fodder for coffee shop conversation or an opportunity for online commentary.

It will not be about the guilt of the mothers, the death of children, or the unfathomable departure a “doctor” takes when they purposefully abandon their oath in order to make a few bucks. No. My friends, we are all guilty for these transgressions and we are equally responsible for our lack of “aggressive concern.”

My advice? Everyone who is enraged or angered by these actions should burn up the phone lines of their congressmen / women and representatives at all levels of government. Write letters and sign petitions by the hundreds of millions–demanding that this line (despite what the Supreme Court has ruled or what a president deems to be ‘morally’ prudent) shall never be crossed again!

Remember this…never forget this! We are Americans! The values that have protected us for several generations will disappear if we ignore and neglect our rights and duties as citizens.

The story said that this baby was allowed to die–or literally killed. It doesn’t say she died of complications.

This is not malpractice it is murder. Jail.

 
Comment by s callahan

This is happeing in every state…..lots of the Doctors use cinnamon sticks to start the abortion process for late term abortion….and during the process of waiting lots of woman change their minds..with some babies saved and the abortion stopped but others not so. There are only a very few hospitals trained to stop the process….my question is …if abortion is allowed are these same people performing this trained to stop the process if the mother changes her mind? See Saint Vincents ..Manhattan…..they stop abortions that was in first stage attempts of late term aboritons

 
Comment by Sharon

This story makes me sick to my stomach. And to think that our president, among others condones abortions. The mother of this baby is just as guilty over the death of her infant, she went to the clinic to abort her baby. I hope she feels guilt. She should. As well as every other mom, doctor, politicitan or anyone who allows abortions. Horrible.

Comment by natureboy

Why charge anyone? Why take the doctors license?
I know I wont be in the popular vote here but I don’t see anything wrong with abortion. Humans need to face death better and realize not every person can be born alive, not everyone with life threatening sickness will survive. It’s simply a part of life, people die. Hey if this girl did not want the child then I don’t see how this could be murder, it was her choice. She could have died in the process, maybe that is what she wanted. Who knows, not I not you.

I’m that person alot of people don’t understand, pro, abortion, death asst, guns, hunting, marijuana, yet I’d never have an abortion, don’t think I’d seek help of death, own guns but respect there power, hunt to provide and don’t use marijuana. Basically what I’m getting at is let me live the life I want and don’t try to make your beliefs laws to control my life.

 
Comment by Judy Devine

My parents were Democrats so that’s the way I always voted. I became unhappy because it seemed that the party had only one theme – Abortion. One day I stared at the TV watching an interview of George W. Bush. Asked who he most admired, he said Jesus Christ. Wow! I almost fell over. Now I am a registered Republican. I simply could no longer march under that abortion flag! I’ve had no regrets. Now, here’s what works for me when I get caught in a discussion with an abortion supporter. I simply ask them if they remember Susan Smith. She is the one who strapped her two little boys into the back seat and backed her car into the lake. It seemed like the whole world stood up and cried out with rage! Why? A mother had killed her children!
A Mortal sin. THE END

 
Comment by Stephanie

What Americans need to realize, this incident is not an abherration. These late term death camps all practice barbarism of the most inhumane forms. The real problem is the pastors, and Christians who refuse to love their neighbor as themselves. They have failed to realize that little babies created in the image of God are our neighbors. Maybe it’s time to cut out the potluck dinners, and the teen sleep overs, and pastors take their flocks to these houses of horror, and plead for those innocent lives?

 
Comment by April

Why do we get so upset when a baby is born alive and then killed, but find it acceptable to kill it before it travels down the birth canal. Is it an 8-inch trip down the birth canal that makes that baby a human being?

 
Comment by Gail Kirtz

How sad. I am really not shocked by reading this. Killing babies has become quite acceptable in our society. Probably the woman who threw this live baby away can’t understand the outrage over what she did.
She probably couldn’t see the difference between the babies that she threw away daily, as is done all over this land. The only difference was that this baby wasn’t cut to pieces or it’s skin burned off by saline. Abortion clinics are used to seeing babies thrown away.
Why are people so shocked to discover when a baby is born, it is a human being? As long as they don’t have to see or hear the cry, they can pretend that by some magic a “fetus” suddenly becomes a child as it is born.
Fairy Tales were once only believed by children. You would think in this enlightened age people would know better. None are as blind as they who will not see. How sad.

 
Comment by Jenna

While this event was tragic I need to address one argument that continually upsets me- a blanket statement like, “Why wasn’t the child given up for adoption, there are so many loving families looking for children!” is naive and misguided. No, there are way more children than loving families willing to take them in. Who wants to bring a child into this world that will never get adopted and then becomes a criminal because they resent their feelings of abandonment?

Google some stats- Learn the facts and lose some of your silly idealism!!

______________________
Murder is taking a life….what you are talking about is death in the natural course of events. Survival of the fitist, I guess; but abortion is not a natural course of events, it is deliberately stopping life before it has a chance to be a part of life. Murder is not a natural course of events and abortion is not a life-threatening sickness. I am perfectly willing to face death but abortion is the killing of innocent life.

 
Comment by Stacy

Personally, if a baby is born alive medical Dr’s should have a duty to give aid. At least that’s my take on the hypocratic oath that they swear to. ‘FIRST DO NO HARM.”

I’m sickened by the visual of that scene, with this “mother” watching her intended aborted baby being scooped up off the freaking floor with afterbirth and placenta and shoved into a plastic bag as if it were no more than pig food.

When the hell are all you pro-abortionists gonna get “it.” Abortion is bad for women. There is nothing good about abortion psychologically, biologically, emotionally, morally or financially. Finances come in to the picture later down the road when these same women start experiencing emotional upsets requiring anti-depressants, or other medications to address physical problems that can be linked to the abortion from decades earlier.

There is no better answer to abortion than adoption. Period. Future societies will look back starting with the 1970’s and consider it one of the most barbaric periods in global history……..even surpassing the brutality of slavery. Future humans will discuss the cruel torture of babies and the genocide attempts in America and across the globe.

Abortion is cruel AND unusual AND unnatural. The Female brain is not equipped to react positively to the yanking or sucking out of her womb her small, innocent baby that looks to her for its only protections.

Our culture is getting so grim and hateful and violent that it is stunning to watch.

 
Comment by Denise

Regarding an earlier comment posted: No one is putting all the blame on President Obama. The doctors and the mother of this child are the ones that need to be punished! We are simply saying that he has made it easier for someone to kill an innocent baby b/c it is an incovenience for the mother at the time. And if I am not mistaken, Pro-life people fight and try every day to force our leaders to do the right thing. So I would say that everyday people like myself is not just throwing stones. We call it as we see it and as Americans we have that right! And yes, we blame the people that are allowing this to happen and the ones that voted Obama into office knowing what he stood for!

 
Comment by Donna

To natureboy..I am a libertarian. I, too, don’t believe government should be involved with people’s lives. I don’t believe this is a religious issue. I will even say that elements of this story this goes beyond the scope of the pro-choice debate. This is definitely a moral issue.

If you set aside the fact that a person is able to abort a baby at 23 weeks gestation, the fact is the baby was born alive.

If you cannot see a distinction between a baby that is a minute old or one day old, that is breathing and then thrown in the garbage, then you have validated my belief that people can rationalize anything including murder.

If we cannot objectively say that a human that is breathing = a live human, then I guess anyone can legislate anyone’s life away.

 
Comment by Terry M

I recently had a discussion with an abortion proponent who insisted that the abortion issue is based on a woman’s right to “choose” whether to have an abortion and that the “right to choose” is the issue. I made the comment that Barack Obama, now President Obama, supported abortion. This person told me I was wrong, that Mr. Obama only supports legislation that grants women the right to choose. I think the Florida case is a clear indication of where this “right to choose” ultimately winds up….with an innocent, indefensible baby being tossed in the trash. This happens time and time again, no doubt multiple times a day! You’re either for it or your against it. There is no gray area with the issue when babies are being senselessly thrown out in the trash. America needs to clean its smudged glasses so we can see accurately again. Here’s the truth and our reality…whether it’s an embryo, a mid-term or full-term infant…inside or outside the womb…and it’s killed….IT’S MURDER! If someone who works for a financial institution devises a plot to embezzle money, so we call it creative financing? NO! It’s THEFT, it’s STEALING, it’s ROBBERY!!!! Ignorance isn’t bliss America. Abortion is MURDER. Let me repeat…MURDER!!!! If we as a nation will embrace the sanctity of life once again, God WILL have mercy on us and restore us and stop the downward spiral we’re in.

 
Comment by Jon

Is THIS what it takes to wake people up to the horrors of abortion? Plain murder? As several posters have said on this blog already, it is murder no matter how you try to justify it. Once we cross the threshold of allowing abortion for ANY reason, all bets are off; One person thinks it is ok only in cases of rape and incest, another thinks it’s ok only if contraception failed, yet another thinks it’s ok as a partial-birth abortion, and finally we have come to SOME human beings thinking it’s ok to flat out murder an innocent baby right after it is born!!! Is abortion more “palatable” when we split hairs and rationalize in our own puny minds the question of when life begins (e.g. at conception or at a later time)????? Regardless of what God you believe in (IF you even believe in one), we human beings are NOT God and we have no business playing God. A Brave New World it is. The next logical step is deciding which TYPES of babies will be born based upon not just the potential for disease, but the potential for intellect and physical string. Euthanasia is also just around the corner. Watch people…this is where it is all going.

 
Comment by Robin Durham

What is this country coming to? I am shocked and appalled at the way people treat babies, but at the same time, an animal has more rights than a human being. Don’t get me wrong, I love animals and think they should all be respected, but a human being should be respected, as well.

 
Comment by David Martin

Scientifically speaking, this action no more terminated a life than if it had been done 30 days sooner. Based on science, even if the process of abortion had been successful it would have resulted in the termination of a living being.

Abortion is rarely done for the health of the mother. Abortion is most often performed to make the style of living of the mother easier, to eliminate the responsibility of the father and to provide doctors and researchers fodder for experiments.

I am shocked the clinic did not harvest various components of the child and make a profit.

 
Comment by Vincent Guggs

Abortion is Americas State sponsored “Holocaust” if my numbers are correct, Americans have distroyed 50,000,000 babies. Yes, thats 50 million, and now we are going to sponsor and fund abortion around the world. So others can distroy there children to. Ain’t that just crazy. That makes no sence. If I was told right, years ago people use to kill and offer thair children as sacrifices to the god molok (excuse the spelling). WHAT ON EARTH ARE WE REALLY DOING ?????? DO WE REALLY HAVE A CLUE ??????

This is clearly a crime. Living human, dumped in trash bin ALIVE = murder!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What the hell am I missing here. Charge these people with murder. Come on, when is this crap gonna stop???????????

 
Comment by tb

Execution is the answer. What else do we do with documented and verified murder?

 
Comment by Teresa

Murder is murder….now matter how you spin it.

 
Comment by Jon

Jail time for everybody involved! How disgusting!

 
Comment by Billy

Charge the doctor and anyone else involved with murder. As for the mother, I don’t feel sorry for her at all. She is the one who made this decision. She made her bed so lie in it and don’t have the NERVE to NAME the baby when YOU made the decision to murder it. This makes me sick and it my heart goes out to that little one and all of the other babies who never have a chance to live their full lives.

 
Comment by Stephanie

Its murder plain and simple

 
Comment by Deanna

Why all the fuss? The “mother” wished to rid herself of this child, so what does it matter the means in which this is carried out? You can either burn your baby to death with saline, chop it up with a D&C, or just suck its brains out as in partial birth abortion. So how is this really ANY different at all? Either way, the “mother” got exactly what she wanted…a live that will not be derailed by the blessing of a child. Wheather that child would have blessed her life or another persons.

Americans need to quit gagging at a gnat! Killing a baby is killing a baby. It is never pretty or nice…or ethical. The ethics in question here are not how is the “right” way to kill a child, but how have we come to the point where we ever thought of children as such a curse or “punishment” that we would actually, willingly, let someone kill our children.

This problem will never change until the spiritual darkness that blackens the hearts of our people is replaced with the light of the truth.

 
Comment by terry ward

So what’s the problem? The girl wanted her baby to die, it’s dead. The laws of this country allow babies to be murdered everyday. No one seems to bat an eye about that. Hey, here’s a thought…maybe we should ban abortion….perhaps babies wouldn’t be murdered so matter-of-factly then. As for the girl, first she decides – at 23 weeks – to kill her child, then she wants to make money off of the entire affair? Hmmmm, help me out, why should we feel sorry for her? And why should we reward her with a big, old cash settlement?

 
Comment by Fred Allen

Take his license away??? That’s what you are worried about? Are you insane? I’m sure you meant to say that his license should be taken away once his 30 year prison term begins. There are few events I’ve heard of more barbaric than this. This is straight out of the dark ages and it supports an industry.

 
Comment by ron b

Why is this now considered murder and maybe not even that, but just a fine and license removal? This practice of murdering all the innocent has been going on for years under the disguise of freedom of choice. What about the choice of these little innocent ones. They need love and caring. Not to be killed for the reason of making it easier for the person. I really can’t understand it. If a drunk driver kills a family on the highway, who are innocent, he is responsible, but if a woman gets pregnant, the innocent one gets killed and it is OK. God please help us help these innocent little ones. We have to become a society of responsibility, not one of what is most convenient. I really don’t understand why it is not easier for a women to get referred to a loving family then to have an innocent life taken. Please keep praying America. It’s our only hope.

 
Comment by Mark

Ok why the outrage??? Even from stupid pro abortion people. HELLO, this is abortion! This is what they have earned the “right” for women to do. Whats the big deal?

 
Comment by Frank

Why are you surprised? This happens all the time. Take away license, how about a murder charge?

 
Comment by Sioux

I think the mother should be proscuted as well. She allowed them to put her baby in a garbage bag.

Strange how aborting a 23 week old baby is okay but then letting it die is murder

 
Comment by Cindy

MURDER!!!

If Obama gets his way, this will become completely LEGAL!

God save our Nation!

 
Comment by cathi

This woman should not get one dime in a lawsuit. She went there to kill her baby and ended up with a dead baby. She got what she was paying over $1000 to get. Why should she be paid!!! When will everyone realize abortion is murder!! 23 weeks – beating heart, fingers, toes, eyes and ears, arms and legs, What part of this is not a BABY!!! Woman who have abortions and told they are just terminating “cells” live with anguish later when they realize what they truly have done.

 
Comment by John White

Reading this story makes me physically ill. This doctor and the staff that participated in this should be charged with manslaughter. What other evidence is needed to prove that an empryo is a living human being. There aren’t words to describe the horror of murdering a newborn baby.

 
Comment by Dawn

It is undisputable that what this doctor and his staff did was repulsive and heartless. But we must draw the line at throwing stones at this young girl.
Did anyone sit her down and talk to her about adoption? Was she offered an ultrasound so she could see the precious life inside of her? Did anyone offer her support – encourage her that she could do the right thing? We don’t know this but I highly doubt it.
Secular society tells us that its ‘just a blob of tissue’, that as a single mom she would have nothing to offer a child, that this child would be a burden and inconvenience. And let us not forget, she was probably just down right scared. Now she will be traumatized for life, not just because of her choice but because, due to the negligence of a ‘doctor, she came face to face with the reality of what the horror of abortion truly is – murder.
My heart aches for her. Please, I pray that someone, somewhere, is showing this girl some compassion.

 
Comment by Greg

No big deal, baby’s dead, end of discussion. Why call it a “botched” abortion? That’s what the girl went into the clinic for and that’s what the clinic provides. Another satisfied customer. I’m guessing the pro-choicers are gathering right now to discuss the merits of providing parents the choice of “aborting” the baby between conception and its first (maybe even second) birthday. Kind of a 1-year-no-strings-attached trial–sorta like Time-Life Music does it. Why not?

Folks, this happens 3,500 times a day in this country alone, and we fund thousands more in other countries. No sense getting your panties in a wad any more over this episode than the thousands of others that happen every day.

Abortion has moved the moral center of our country, which is why we are now actually debating the rightfulness or wrongfulness of this episode–that’s right, we’re debating it. God help us all!

 
Comment by MV of OK

Basics: A baby is a baby. You can put him or her in a carseat, a crib, a plane, or a womb. It doesn’t matter. Location can never dictate WHAT something is, only its place.

Weren’t these actions prophesied 2000 years ago? “Then brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child. Children will rise up against parents and put them to death” -Mark 13:12

Even though believing God is not PC these days, you can’t make falsehoods truth just because people don’t like it. We, as a country, elected our officials. Many thought it was mere rhetoric and that the “far right” was utilizing fear tactics to try and keep our current president from being elected. The same mentality was used to re/elect our congress. We’re just now starting to see the truth.

If you want an honest perspective of where we are and what we’re moving toward, dust off that leather bound book at home. We’ll reap what we have sown and WHEN we turn our back on Israel to protect our own pocketbook (since our government seems much more interested in money than babies), we’ll see what kind of harvest we’re in for. My thoughts, but if you haven’t spoken with the Father today, it would be the best spent time of the entire day.

 
Comment by Jeff

WHY should this surprise anybody? The highest elected official in the land approves of infanticide (oh, SORRY, termination after birth). There is a new sherriff in town, people, and it’s ok because “it will be a burden” to the mother. Wake up, folks, to this reality in America.

 
Comment by Carol carrillo

Clearly this murderer should be barred forever from any type of medicine. His judgement is grossly impaired, as is his staff’s.

As a former Pediatric Nurse and wife of a Neonatologist, I was (once again) horrified to read of this death of one more innocent life. We are here to protect the rights of people who can’t speak for themselves as well as those who can. My husband has had babies of this gestational age survive and are now in school. Grant it, there are multiple problems along the way, but I guarantee you this baby would’ve been adopted had it lived for that opportunity.

The less we value the lives of the “innocents”, the less our own lives will be valued.

The only positive thing I can even think of, as a Believer, is that this baby went straight into the arms of Jesus, no matter what religion (if any) the mother’s.

 
Comment by SGV

To me this demonstrates exactly how the matter of abortion is not about “women’s rights” as many claim it is. If abortion really is about the “woman’s right to choose” then I have to ask about this little woman’s most fundamental right to live once conceived. If a woman doesn’t even have a right to choose to live, then what good is a “right to choose” an abortion or any other right for that matter?

 
Comment by Sharon

As a mother, when I hear anything about abortion, or any other crime towards children, it makes me want to hold my children and protect them from any harm. When I first found out I was pregnant at age 18 with my first child, I felt the same way. The natural human instinct to protect and care for my unborn child. I can’t understand the evil behind someone who would choose to end their unborn child’s life. It is unnatural, abnormal, selfish, and plain and simply wrong. That precious little baby along with all the rest of the murdered babies are angels in heaven and thank God no one can do them any more harm.

 
Comment by grace

This was almost a 6 month pregnancy. Why didn’t this stupid girl just have the baby and give it up for adoption. She and the doctor should be prosecuted. Disgusting!! To all those pro-abortion idiots out there, hope you are pleased with yourselves. This gives me nightmares!

 
Comment by Jim

Obama supports live birth abortions. This is the wave of the future. Hope all you Obamaites are starting to see what you have asked for. “Change” is coming

 
Comment by Misty

If she was “moved” when coming face to face with the child then why did she not speak up. Why couldn’t she have called 911 or demanded to be taken to a hospital with the child. If she was so “moved” she could have spoken up. Instead she later got the idea that she might be able to get some money out this.

 
Comment by mary sue glazier

This is a outrage and it is murder, do you know how bad I would love to have a child and can not.
this girl and her doctor and the staff all took part in this murder and should be tried and convicted.On another note, President Obama supports abortions like this. Look at his voting record for Chicago Ill. The abortion clinics up there were doing this all the time, then Senator Obama voted no to a bill that would make the clinics and hospitals give medical treatment to a infant that survived a abortion . Just think about it, and I hope you are really happy about your vote to elect this man. Do you really want me to describe how they would have ended this child’s life if the doctor would have shown up on time. Its called partial birth abortion, they leave the baby’s head inside of the uterus and stick a large needle up into their brain and scramble and suck the brains out the child dies and they pull it the rest of the way out of the vaginal canal. I really hope these people all suffer greatly, they will be punished for their murderous sins.

Dr. Manny,

We totally agree with your comments on the live baby being thrown in the trash at the abortion clinic.
We also appreciate the fact that you have the courage to speak openly about it.
Enjoy your segments on the Fox News Channel, keep it up.

In response to the below comment:
#1. The doctor was SUPPOSED to be there! That’s the problem!
#2. Read the rest of the comments. YOU are the one on the fringe, not the people that believe that all abortions are morally equivalent! The fact that we are people that don’t believe ANYONE should be killed like a bug, doesn’t make us lunatics, it makes us civilized!

You can’t charge the doctor, he wasn’t even in the building. Read the facts, people.

And please keep on saying that all abortions are morally equivalent to this case,
it makes you sound like the lunatic fringe.

All involved should be charged with murder! What has happened to our morals and values as human beings, so wonder our world is the way it is!

 
Comment by Grace - Florida

This story has very much affected me… I can’t stop the tears. I mourn for this baby girl who took 1 breath before being murdered.
What can we do? Take a look at our new administration, and in particular, the Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA). If signed in, the FOCA would “Establish a new fundamental right – A woman would have the ability to legally abort her child until the moment of birth (i.e. full term babies) WITHOUT ANY RESTRICTION” (see partial birth abortion procedure: http://www.abortionfacts.com/literature/literature_9313pb.asp ). The pro-abortion Congressmen and community want absolutely no restrictions on abortion. This includes everything, from minors having to tell their parents of their intention to get an abortion to taxpayer funded elective abortions through Medicaid (& in the Military), among other things.

Here’s a direct link to your congressperson, it takes two seconds to send a letter via the link http://writerep.house.gov/ — I wrote: “I am writing to oppose the Freedom of Choice Act. As a taxpayer, I strongly oppose promoting or subsidizing abortion with my tax dollars.” Forward this link (and letter) to everyone you know who wants to stop the genocide of the innocents.

 
Comment by Beth

It is really scary to think that if our current legislature and President pass the Freedom of Choice Act we may very well see more and more of this happening.

 
Comment by William

All I can say is that this makes me absolutely sick. I don’t know what else to say. Abortion makes me feel sick about where our country is headed.

 
Comment by Lisa

I am horrified, what kind of “human being” could toss out a baby like trash? this clinic should definitely be shut down, and this person and the doctor should have their license pulled, and they should be charged with murder. There is no fear of G-d left in people like this, and for sure no acknowledgment of the human race, people are like animals, worse because even animals don’t toss their young out like trash. How sad.

Lisa

 
Comment by Janie

When you go to an abortion clinic their job is to produce a DEAD baby, there are no if, ands or buts about this! When the baby came our ALIVE what are they to do? KILL IT.

This is just insane, if the mom had gone to the hospital they would have tried to save the baby. Go to an abortion clinic and ‘it’s just a choice’, not a baby.

When in heavens name will this STOP.

And another point, this babies death will go against the county’s infant mortality count. The county will try to get money to decrease the number of babies that do not survive their first year. Just crazy? Call your local county health department and see if this is not a issue.

 
Comment by Deanna Paulus

Abortion is murder – plain and simple.

 
Comment by Grace - Florida

Abortion is murder — in Canada, mothers are allowed to abort for “gender selection” (usually aborting the females). I hope our country doesn’t come to this… take a stand:

Contact your local representative, it takes two seconds to send a letter via the link http://writerep.house.gov/ — I wrote: “I am writing to oppose the Freedom of Choice Act. As a taxpayer, I strongly oppose promoting or subsidizing abortion with my tax dollars.” Forward this link (and letter) to everyone you know who wants to stop the genocide of the innocents.

We either stop this slaughter of the unborn, get rid of the commander in chief Abortionist, stop the census in its tracts or we will see many more of our brothers and sisters murdered every day. America stand up and protest with all your heart. Get rid of these people who want us to join them in Hell. We are in the majority so pray and write and vocalize until Washington does not dare not to listen.

 
Comment by Veronica

Dear Dr. Manny,
As a physician called to protect and support life, how can you state that the only consequence this man should receive is the revocation of his license? What occurred to both this child and mother is more than horrific, yet it is occuring everyday in our nation and our world, because this is truly what the fac of abortion; the shedding of innocent blood. Our nation is founded on protecting the life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness of all. Who is protecting the rights of unborn children? All of us have a responsibility to protect the right to life of all people. Otherwise, it becomes eugenics; we are playing God and deciding who should live and who should die based on our own prejudices and beliefs. In the United States alone approximately 50 million children have been aborted since Roe vs. Wade and approximately the same amount of African-American children are aborted every year as are born. The #1 cause of death for African-Americans is not cancer, heart attack, or high blood pressure. It is abortion. All of these children may have held some of the solutions to the world’s problems, have been your next door neighbor, or your best friend. This grieves my heart so. If a woman is not able to care for her child there is always the option of adoption. However, there are so many resources available to help a woman to raise her children as well. Let’s all unite to support life and love life and take responsibility for life instead of throw it in the trash.

 
Comment by Bryan

Pro-abortionist have a place in hell awaiting their arrival… you can debate your flawed ideas in a court of so called law,,, but the real verdict is upon your last breath…. In matters of early term where there our severe health issues for the baby and the mother is a different matter… But late term… or for the lack of birth control or intelligence on the unfit mothers behalf.. is just wrong on so many levels to kill a baby…….

 
Comment by Richard Marks, PhD

OUTRAGE!!! Yet, this is not even getting national press except (for as I can see) on FOX news.
I do believe, sadly, that this practice is not uncommon, just someone finally got caught!

We now see the truth about the abortion is not about life, it is about death. How can you say that they should only get a revoked license, this was, by law, an act of murder. Let the charges start to flow.

 
Comment by Keith

I agree. WHERE are the criminal charges? This is outrageous. Abortion is wrong in every way.

 
Comment by Angela

How can it be, that a when a person is pregnant and is killed, the killer is facing two counts of murder, for the unborn child, but aborting a baby, at the same gestation is not murder.. It’s the same thing! This man and the mother for that fact, needs to be charged for murder. They need to be punished for what they have done. An example needs to be set, so the murdering of these unborn babies, who have every right as anyone else can be protected. If you think you are old enough to have sex, and become pregnant, then guess what, you are old enough to have the baby, and acutally have an opportunity to do a good thing, but giving the baby up for adoption to a couple that cannot have babies and really want them.

 
Comment by Lona

America elected a man who thinks late term abortions should be legal! Abortion is the holocaust of our generation! Please Americans stand up and get upset about Abortion in the in country! IT IS WRONG!!!!!!1.5 millions Babies are aborted every year in the US; 1.5 million families are on adoption waiting list in the US coincidence???

 
Comment by Kerry

I am writing this during the Hour of Mercy. I have read hundreds of replies from brothers and sisters who, like me are aghast at the practice of abortion. Don’t give up. Continue to speak up in defense of the helpless. Pray continually — join us this next 40

 
Comment by Kerry

Most all of these responses I am reading echo my sentiments, “When will this horrendous killing end?” I am encouraged by this outpouring of holy rage. Don’t give up. Make your voices heard at work, in government, in the street, and especially in heaven. Pray for an end to abortion. Pray for the doctors and for the misguided mothers to have a change of heart. We will be praying and witnessing for forty days outside of abortion mills around the US from February 25 – April 5. Join us in prayer and fasting! Join us in person!

Comment by Christina

How can you sue an abortion clinic for doing exactly what you wanted them to do in the first place? I heard she named the baby I guess she named it in those two seconds it was writhing on the floor and decided she suddenly “cared.” Seriously why would it take you 6 months to decide to have an abortion in the first place? If you are that cold then seeing it pop out and shoved in the trash shouldn’t be THAT bad.

 
Comment by Barb

Are you aware that over 50% of ‘abortions’ that are done on a daily basis, are on girls who are not even be pregnant , but think that they are? Once in the clinic, they’re told that some tests are false positive, so to rest their weary minds, their false pregnancies are taken care of. All this so the clinic can meet their daily quotas and get their money. It’s all part of the training. How sad is it that these women are left feeling guilty for the rest of their lives, when they didn’t even have to! This info needs to be screamed from the mountaintops! Abortion is horrendous. This story won’t change any minds…

 
Comment by TMF

This Doctor should not only be stripped of their liscence but convicted of murder. Thwowing away a human being – even if it was a baby, is unthinkable and murder in my eyes, and I believe in many courts

 
Comment by Jen

A baby has a heartbeat as early 5 and a half weeks. How can anyone say that a child with a heartbeat is not alive? I don’t get it. The sad fact is this baby was only 3 weeks from a good chance of viability. 26 weeks is considered viability. I know this because I’m 8 and half months pregnant with my first child.

I believe abortion at every stage of life in the womb should be considered murder. And while this action by this clinic was deplorable and unimaginable, the sad fact is that legislation is in the process of being passed to make this type of action legal.

Please… if you are a supporter of partial birth abortion, go find the literature on the actual procedure. Then you will really know that you’re supporting the murder of a child that could be completely viable. If you still support such legislation after that, then there’s something seriously wrong with you.

 
Comment by Erin

I gave birth, through no fault or choice of my own, to a child when I was 23 weeks pregnant. My daughter is now 15 months old and is healthy and doing amazingly well. She was only given a 5% chance of survival. I am also pro-choice. I think it is a shame that abortion is allowed for that stage of pregnancy. The 23rd week is the cut off week for survival. They should not be allowed that late in a pregnancy. I do not feel sorry for the “mother” of the baby. She was obviously having difficulty finding someone willing to perform the proceedure since she had to go to more than one clinic to have it done. That is an indication that perhaps it should not be done. At that stage in the pregnancy, she should have carried the child and given it up for adoption since she decided so late that she did not think she could handle the responsibility of raising a child.

 
Comment by Blue

How much cheaper can human life be ? I guess human life is no longer worth a nickle in this country. By the way, you idiots who voted for Obama, voted for this to be legal in this country. He voted for babies not to have life support if they live through an abortion termination procedure in his own state of Illinois.

Born Alive Infants Protection Act passed the U.S. Senate in 2002 by a unanimous vote. The law prevents the killing of infants, usually by denying them medical care, when they are mistakenly left alive, outside the mother’s womb, after an abortion.

Obama also opposed the partial-birth abortion act.

You wanted “Change”, NOW YOU GOT IT. May God bring justice to those carrying this work out for their political and monetary gains, or for those who are just plain evil.

 
Comment by Joseph Glaser

Why the lawsuit in 2009 if this all happened in 2006? Wasn’t the mother and her attorney “outraged” in 2006. Sounds like the concerned parties just want some money, otherwise they would have tried to shut down this abortion monster a long time ago.l Abortion is ugly and all these people are ugly except of course the baby who is now dead.

 
Comment by rmlogan

What do we do about this? Is this not MURDER!!! 23 wks= 6 mo!! A baby that could have lived outside the womb. The freak that did this,( had the baby) do you think you are ok in Gods sight?
What is wrong with you people. Look at all the couples and singles that would give their right arm for a baby to love and cherish!!!
I think you are just nutzzzzzzzz!! And this story actually makes me physically sick to my stomach!!! I am furious, outraged and insulted that so little thought is given to human life!!!!
Its a me, myself and I situation……!!! Could be nothing but!!

Comment by Heather

It amazes me how quiet all of the pro-choicers are. Im sorry but really, this girl decided to put on her big girl pants and make a decision to end the life of her child. She does not deserve a dime, counseling, therapy, whatever else she deserves, but money? no way.

Someone please explain to me how you can read a story like this one and still say that abortion is ok? Im serious, I want you to rationalize that for me. I want to see the logic behind it.

I get it, I get it, we shouldn’t have the government meddling in our lives blah blah blah. Well if you dont want them to save the babies then maybe we should just abolish all laws and live in anarchy. Maybe the government should stay out of everything, maybe we should just let everyone govern themselves! Oh and man maybe we should take away CPS and let parents abuse their children. You fight to save the animals but a baby is trash to you.

Your logic is flawed and you know it. Thats why only one of you has spoken up.

Amen to that. I think they should close them down and take his license away for good. I pray that God deals with this man. How would he feel if his mother had aborted him. I think abortion is wrong it is murder and it is against the word of God. God give us life and life more abundantly. This is my opinion. How can anyone take the life of a newborn who is so helpless and innocent. They are precious in the site of God. What if our mothers gave us up through abortion. I believe anyone who does an abortion and takes the life of a baby will answer one day to God. Jesus died for each of us and arose from the dead that we may have eternal life. Just the thought of those who kill babies through abortion makes me so sick. They don’t deserve to die. They deserve to live like the rest of us. I have two sons and a granddaughter and they mean so much to me. They are all so precious and I thank God that he gave them to me.

Comment by dkirby-michigan

This is disturbing on so many levels. It is totally disgusting and I agree with Dr. Manny…strip him of his right to practice medicine! Then, put the scum in jail for life without parole along with his sick buddy who cut the cord and trash-bagged a live human infant. I used to drive by the protesters at abortion clinics and say that they were wasting their time. I know better now. They knew it would eventually come to this. And now it has. If women do not want to get pregnant, they have other choices, tied tubes, birth control meds, iud’s, condoms (for what they’re worth) and /or abstinence. The choice to have an abortion may lead to the murder of a human baby…in fact…it does lead that way.

 
Comment by shfam

The only way things like this will change is if we stand up and do something about it. How many people are disgusted with the hypocrisy of how this nation treats infants / children.

CNN spent how much time on the Caylee Anthony story? Weeks? Months? How many sympathized with her death and were angry over this atrocity yet a million babies die each year in the U.S. Where is the sympathy for these babies? Where is the news coverage for these children? Where are the hundreds of people ready to come to their memorials? There are no memorials for these babies.

Now we spend our tax dollars to help people murder their kids? No thanks!

The ONLY way this will change is if you stand up and say something about it…

possible suggestion… here is an idea that was forwarded to me…

“Get a red envelope. You can buy them at Kinkos, or at party supply stores.
On the front, address it to

President Barack Obama
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
Washington , D.C.

On the back, write the following message.

This envelope represents one child who died in abortion.
It is empty because that life was unable to offer anything to the world.
Responsibility begins with conception.

Put it in the mail, and send it. “

Comment by shatteredmen

Every major civilizations decline was led by moral decay. We are seeing that in the United States today on almost every level. I can think of no moral decay more serious then how a society treats the helpless.

We are told that if abortion were illegal, more women would die in back alley abortions. Well, someone dies in almost every abortion. (There are a few infants who survived abortion and they are all very strong PRO LIFE supporters.

Abortion is NOT about choice. It is about Power…control and MONEY! Abortion is a multi BILLION dollar industry whos product is death. It is about power and control because it gives the radical feminist both power and control. These same people scream that they want EQUALITY but this is an outright lie. This so called pro choice can be used to force a man to pay for 18 years often for a child that is not even his. This is often after telling him that the woman can not get pregnant. Many men want to be the father of the baby they have equally conceived but again, he has no choice of the woman (she is not a mother) choices to kill him or her.

The rape and incest idea is a lie too….According to Planned
Parenthood’s own research arm, about 13,000 abortions each year are
attributed to rape and incest—representing a mere 1 percent of all
abortions

You are too soft. Dr. “Butcher” should be charged with murder in the first degree.

Every woman has a right to choose- choose to keep your legs closed and you won’t have to later murder the unintended and totally innocent child that is the result of your failure to choose correctly!

Disregarding the moral issue of sex outside of marriage for this discussion, there is simply no excuse for abortions to occur with all of the available birth control options that prevent conception. Educate your sons and daughters america! If they’re going to have sex before they are ready for the responsibilities of pregnancy, they must do what’s necessary to prevent conception!

It’s a human life from the moment of conception, and abortion is murder!!

Babies have lived at that stage.

Someone said earlier adoption is a silly idea. Saying there are too many children and not enough families. I do not agree. Look at how long families wait to receive a child, many times years. It is the system that is broken.

God help us.

 
Comment by Andy

I am encouraged by most of the responses — indication that most readers are at least grounded in the fact that murder is a horrendous act whether inside or outside the womb. As for Dr. Manny, I am really disturbed by your comments (perhaps I shouldn’t be, it’s business as usual?)! The issue is not whether the abortionist should have his license taken away or not, the issue is that an innocent human being has been murdered intentionally. The baby is now with the LORD, just like ~3000 babies that are killed every day. The abortionist will have to answer for his actions — “cursed are the hands that shed innocent blood.”
As far as the mother is concerned — WHY ARE YOU SUING? you wanted the baby dead, now she is dead — isn’t that what you wanted? BUT THERE IS HOPE FOR YOU. The one thing for you to do is to plead with God for mercy that He would grant you repentance and forgiveness of this and all your sins.
Some say “God will judge our country for abortions…” God will NOT judge us for those things. Abortion, homosexuality, unfaithfulness, divorce, and the like — these things ARE GOD’S judgment on our country and on humanity. As people do not see fit to honor God as God, He gives people over to depraved mind so that those things that are unnatural and sinful are not only practiced by them, but are encouraged when others do the same.
Some are going to call me a religious right wing nut, but that doesn’t bother me. The fact remains that all will have to answer to God.

This was the murder of an innocent baby. But didn’t the girl origionally go there with just that in mind? She went to this clinic to have her baby aborted…murdered. The doctors and nurses that perform this stuff are below animals.

We now have a President that agrees with what this clinic did…..he advocates the death of live babies born in spite of botched abortions. This is what will happen more and more….so much for “change”

 
Comment by Theresa

Um…BUT it was okay for her to go to pay 1200 for the doctor to kill the exact same baby that everyone is now outraged about?? WHAT? She paid for them to kill her baby and that’s exactly what they did. I guess she wanted it to be prettier and less messy…she got what she paid for- a terminated human life. No one dragged her into that clinic and forced her…she went and she paid for it. And unfortunately thay poor innocent little life never had a say in it or a chance. God is disgusted with us as a whole. “We” let it go on every day… “we” even fight to protect the right of the mother to do it…”we” need to stop acting as though this case is so horrific. I guess it is more comforting to people to think of the poor baby chopped to bits before it is shoved in the bad and tossed in the dumpster?? Let us just not forget that ultimately this WAS the mother’s CHOICE!!

Why… THAT is what the mother went there for. She was exercising her right to choose… and at least the mother (term used loosely) is still alive.

 
Comment by Y Roth

Wake up call. Perhaps it’s time Americans woke up to the reality and not the slogans as to what is an abortion. An abortion is the destruction of a healthy inutero baby’s life. While people are protesting in the streets for middle term birth canal abortions does anyone really look into how they are done. I wrote a thesis for an MA about abortion and decided to look into that process. The “abortion” is done by birthing only the head, slitting the back of the neck and suctioning out the fetuses brains so the head collapes. Does that sound humanistic to anyone in their right mind? I have been councelling women seeking abortions for over 20 years. One of my conclusions is most of the time it is a cry for help. Most women are facing difficulties with money, relationships etc etc. They need real assistance and support. Who gives them the time of day after they have done their abortions and are left with the same problems. Surprsing statistics show that a great percentage of these women become pregnant again with a half a year of their abortions. I have never , repeat never seen anyone regret their decision to continue their pregnancie despite sometimes inconvienc and sometimes very challenging life crisses. Why is putting a baby in a plastic bag after birth so shocking when brutally almost decapitating it or burning it’s body with saline solution an hour or before is legal and it’s mother’s so called right.There most be a humane way to help women with “unplanned” pregnancies

 
Comment by Hope

I really don’t see the difference, dieing in utero or outside the body. I think I would rather see bleeding out than killing by cutting and shoving scissors up through the head in which would lead to severe pain to the baby. In my opinion it is murder either way. It is sick to think that there are so many people unable to have children and would love to adopt these unwanted babies. I think the law should protect these babies through adoption!!!!!!

 
Comment by Bob

Burn the license, burn the doctor, then burn the clinic. But its not just the “doctors” fault. Its the liberals who support and pass legislation allowing not only late term abortions, but abortions period; and they are the same people defending the nonexistent rights of terrorists, who have killed thousands of Americans, staunchly oppose the death penalty for murderers and are crying out to save the wolves and whales. But they can forget about the millions of infants being butchered. Do some research on late term abortions if you haven’t done so……it will shock you.
Incidents like these should scare the American people because we know have “leadership” in Washington with these same ideals. America, lets get our act together and return to the foundations on which this country was established.

What kind of person tries to get an abortion at 23 weeks and then blames someone else for having to watch it happen? that is almost 6 months pregnant. disgusting.

 
Comment by lis

This young woman experienced what has happened to many… they have been misled with words like “fetus” and “terminating a pregnancy” – they are young and naive, scared, and they really are not aware of what it is they are commencing to do. Only when they go through with the actual act of the abortion, they have a terrible awakening to the awareness of what is actually happening. It is not unusual for a woman to suddenly change her mind at that moment, to beg for the procedure to stop, only to be told it is too late. The realization is most graphic to those who have late term abortions, but even those who have early abortions can be slammed unexpectedly with the horror of what they have done. There are a lot of wounded women out there. They believed the lies they were told, went through with abortion and now are suffering terrible grief and guilt- and society still tells them they have done nothing wrong. What a hypocritical nation we are.

 
Comment by Tanya

The thing I hate most in the abortion debate is the rhetoric used. “Pro-choice”. BS! At least speak plainly. At least be honest and say you want the right to KILL YOUR UNBORN CHILDREN. And it was a baby girl…where was HER choice???? We are living in evil times, in an evil land. Yes, abortion has ALWAYS been around, but not sanctioned, paid for and ENCOURAGED by our society. YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO NOT GET PREGNANT, TOO!! Its not that hard, ladies. What a bunch of crap. Women who wouldn’t fight to the death to PROTECT their child, let alone PAY to have them slaughtered make me ashamed on their behalf. I would die before I would let harm come to my children. Anything less is UNNATURAL. There will be a reckoning someday…..

 
Comment by deb

I don’t understand why people are so upset over this. A doctor can legally abort the fetus while in the womb, or coming out of the womb… so why is this so shocking? Abortions are legal for mothers as young as 13, this mother was 18. Abortions are legal through all 40 weeks of pregnancy, so how is it any different if the baby is left to die or killed within minutes of being out of the womb? I don’t understand why so many people are shocked over this…

 
Comment by deb

I don’t understand the big deal. If the fetus can be aborted in the womb (or while coming out) , a few minutes after birth is not a big deal. The doctors and nurses did nothing wrong in light of the way abortion is so widespread and legal in this country. What’s a few more minutes?

 
Comment by Deborah

For the mom: She got what she wanted…a dead baby. Additionally, she hit the jackpot and will now no doubt be featured on all the talk shows, plus she’ll strike it rich. Book, movie deal, possible reality show of her own.

For the doctor: He’ll lose his license. He should be charged with murder, but of course the pro-abortion populace would never let that happen.

For the baby: No chance whatsoever at a life.

For America: Yet another deep, gaping wound in her soul.

Michelle for pres.! I think we better end abortion/murder now before God comes back and his fury engulfs us!!

 
Comment by inhisimage

michelle for pres….end the abortion holocaust now!!

 
Comment by Michael DeMarco

This is murder, plain and simple. The owner actually threw the baby in the garbage. He/she should be charged with capital murder, and the doctor accessory to murder.

The procecutors office shouldn’t be thinking about this for one minute. It’s murder! Charge them!

 
Comment by Angie

When I was a teenager, I had an abortion. It was early, I was only about 4 weeks, and even though I was couseled that this was a “procedure”, and little more, my soul felt so empty when I left that place. There was no question in my mind what I had done, no matter what they said.

Sometimes I wonder how we can have so many people who hate abortion, and yet….abortion is still legal. I didn’t read every comment, but I read a great many of them. How did we elect a president who will only do more of this? Was our whole country sleeping? It seems as though the country was hypnotized, and with every day that passes, I think he reveals himself more.

If abortion is to remain legal, I think that every woman who chooses to have one should have to view a picture of an aborted fetus that is the same age as the one she is aborting. She should have to look at the tiny fingers….the tiny feet. I know that I could not have gone through with mine if I had known that the baby inside me was more than a blood clot….that’s what they told me….”it’s little more than a large clot and tissue”……show them the truth, so they are truly accountable for their actions.

 
Comment by Rosario Reilly

This is horrific! However, there was a time when I would have been shocked by this story. In the last month I’ve heard of two of these types of cases. In fact the other relates to another Florida botched abortion that was made into a movie called “22 Weeks” and will be aired in August 2009. It’s time we reawakened the conscience of our society, one that has been dulled by the culture of death! If society doesn’t respect life from beginning to end then who picks the parts of “life” that need respect.

 
Comment by Linda

O.K. the biggest question screaming at me was how long did it take the mother to respond to her baby being put in a trash bag alive? The article on FoxNews on the internet talks abouit them finding the baby’s decomposing body one week later, when exactly was it she decided to let the police in on her mishap? When she realized there was money to be made from the five minute delay in mistreatment of her baby. What was done after air filled the lungs was merely supposed to be done before the baby ever took her first breathe which was about a five minute span, what exactly is she upset about? No, she sees the dollar signs of a lawsuit, that is the only explanation for a week delay in finding her dead little baby girl in a trash can. My goodness, what disregard we have come to.

 
Comment by Linda

To the comment every woman has a choice to keep her legs closed, every man has a choice to keep it in his pants, every baby aborted has a father that made a choice also, let’s share the blame on this one. Unless the man, or shall we say “daddy”, has pleaded and begged for no abortion and offered to raise the baby himself with or without “mommy”, then he is just as guilty as every woman and has made the same “choice” she has.

 
Comment by Tom

This is exactly was a certain senator for CA wants to make legal. She said that she thinks its not a child till it leaves the hospital. This is the extent that some want to see abortions to be aloud. It is so sad that people think this way. I truly
