DOJ: Betraying aborted-alive babies?
By Jill Stanek
September 20, 2006
In April 2004, a nurse named Abby* made an appointment with Richard Collier of the Legal Center for Defense to tell him of an incident she thought violated the Born Alive Infants Protection Act.
Abby worked in the labor and delivery department of a major regional hospital in New Jersey. Abby told Collier about a baby boy who was aborted alive there earlier that year and placed in the "dirty room" until he died several hours later.
The attending nurse was so disturbed she described the event to Abby.
The boy was between 20-23 weeks old and aborted after a doctor noticed on ultrasound his limbs were not measuring properly. He told the mother the baby would be born with abnormal arms and legs and sword-like feet.
The procedure of choice was induced labor abortion, wherein a pill called Misoprostol (aka Cytotec) is inserted in the mother's birth canal every 4-8 hours to irritate the cervix until it opens.
The abortionist may kill the baby beforehand by injecting a heart-stopping drug into the baby's heart through the mother's abdomen. Or the abortionist may not, anticipating the baby will die during the birth process or soon after.
In this case, the baby obviously was not killed en utero and survived.
The nurse wrapped the baby in a blanket and took him to the dirty room, realizing after several minutes he was alive. She reported this to her charge nurse, who did nothing. The family was not told.
The nurse noticed the baby was clutching something in one fist. She pried the baby's fingers opened and saw he was grasping a Cytotec pill.
The nurse requested a reassignment.
Still, she felt compelled to check on the baby four or five hours later. Thinking the blanket was keeping him alive, she unwrapped the baby and placed him naked on a stainless steel table.
When she checked 15 minutes later, he was dead.
Collier reported the incident to the U. S. Department of Justice. The DOJ and the U. S. Department of Health and Human Services are charged with enforcing the Born Alive Infants Protection Act, signed into law by President Bush in 2002.
Abby began reporting other incidents to Collier, who reported them to the DOJ. [Entire Story]
This is an excellent post that will open your eyes to what is really happening to innocent babies in our country. We need to pray about this and ask God what he wants us to do stop this. Pray, fast, and listen to the voice of God.
It was Jill's courageous witness that touched my heart so many years ago and led me to become pro-active in the pro-life movement.
