Yet another shady abortion practice. What a shock. Jill Stanek of World Net Daily has been doing some investigative reporting regarding that 23-week-old fetus who was alleged to have been murdered after being born alive. Suspicions confirmed.
People who're new to the world of abortion shouldn't be too shocked. Late-term babies are born alive, often enough, and routinely left to die. I have no evidence of this happening in Canada, but it happens often enough in the States that I can't believe it never happens in Canada.
Canadian law says that a baby is a person once he takes a breath (even though it calls the fetus "an unborn child" before birth-- he's not a person until his lungs stretch). Technically, leaving the baby to die in a corner is illegal. But since everyone is conspiring to kill the baby anyway, no one says anything. It is an absolutely unconscienable act, and I hope all Canadians reading support Paul Steckle's Late-term abortion bill to help end if not the actual death of fetuses born alive, then the potential for it happening. By the way, these "dreaded complications" of abortion are why Partial-Birth Abortion (i.e. Dilation and Extraction) was invented-- to assure as few live births as possible.
Here are the gory details of the story:
On July 19, an 18-year-old went to A Gyn Diagnostic Center at 3671 West 16th Avenue in Hialeah to start a late-term abortion procedure. Laminaria (seaweed sticks that look like matchsticks) were inserted into her cervix to slowly force it open. Laminaria expand when wetted.
Workers told the girl to return to the clinic the morning of July 20 to finish the abortion.
She arrived at 9:30 a.m., complaining of abdominal pain. She was told the abortionist, allegedly Frantz Bazile, had not yet arrived and to wait in the recovery room.
Sometime between 2-2:30 p.m., while still waiting for Bazile, she gave birth to a baby, with at least one clinic worker allegedly present. Both saw the baby gasping for air and "moving like a normal baby would move," stated the source.
After five minutes, a staffer came in to the room, cut the umbilical cord, put the living baby in a red biohazard bag and threw the baby in the trash. Overton confirmed this person was clinic owner Belkis Gonzalez.
That same day, someone anonymously called 911 and reported a baby was born alive at the mill and killed. When police arrived, the clinic was closed for the day, so they could not go inside.
On July 21, an informant gave police the mother's name, and she provided enough information to get a search warrant.
On July 22, police served a search warrant at the abortion mill but could find no baby.
On July 29, police received a tip that the baby was back inside the clinic. The tipster said workers had placed the baby on the clinic roof while police were searching the clinic and put the baby back in the trash when they thought the coast was clear.
The police returned, finding the baby's decomposed body in a box they had previously searched.
All Hialeah Police Department officials to whom I have spoken are adamant this is a homicide case.
The ugly, ugly world of abortion.
I remember reading another blog post about this (I don't have a link any more). The baby was about two pounds when he was born. A number of posters were saying that given the baby's weight, he was way more developed than 23 weeks. I remember the story about the girl who was born at 25 weeks in Britain, and she weighed a pound-and-a-half.
Whenever I read about these abortion clinic investigations, there are often gory details about the disposal of the bodies or the cleanliness of the facilities.
This is a shady business.
