saving a life...after an abortion attempt...

[billc]

Do we really need to wonder if a baby survives an abortion, is no longer inside " a woman's body" and is there, just waiting...what do we do...?

Question for Planned Parenthood official: What should happen to a baby born alive after a botched abortion?

Via John McCormack at the Weekly Standard, some words of wisdom from theKermit Gosnell school of “women’s health.” Say this much for her: As monstrous as this is, at least she’s consistent. It’s a strange mindset that would suddenly demand that a doctor rescue a baby in peril after giving him the green light to kill it in the womb 10 minutes earlier. The only situation I can think of where someone’s typically asked to switch from assailant to savior in the blink of an eye is when cops or soldiers wound an armed enemy in the course of defending themselves. In all other cases, a person who’s made the decision to kill will, if left uninterrupted, tend to finish the job. Pro-lifers have always argued that it’s silly and arbitrary to make birth (or viability) some key threshold for personhood. In her own ominous way, she’s agreeing with that. If a mother and her doctor have decided to kill, why stop at accidental birth? Why not let them finish the job? Free Gosnell!
As a practical matter, even if Florida’s law requiring rescue is enacted, how many abortionists do you suppose would actually follow it in the privacy of the “exam room” in cases of accidental birth?

What an ugly and revolting "thing" this is from beginning to end.....

Yes, it's a conspiracy. Everything is. Good guess.

Great line, completely off topic and totally without value. You must be proud.

Welcome to the tit-for-tat Sarcasm Wars.

I really would suggest that getting so aggravated by things on the Internet means you don't have enough things to worry about in the real world. So that means things are actually pretty good.

I think this article brings up some thought provoking questions. It certainly outlines a blatent contradiction. Why does a baby have a right to live outside the womb but not inside it? Does the exit from the woman's body suddenly confer personhood to the baby or could personhood be conferred earlier?
