Botched Abortions
"One night, a nursing co-worker was taking an aborted Down's Syndrome baby who was born alive to our Soiled Utility Room because his parents did not want to hold him, and she did not have time to hold him," Stanek explained
"I could not bear the thought of this suffering child dying alone in a Soiled Utility Room, so I cradled and rocked him for the 45 minutes that he lived. He was 21 to 22 weeks old, weighed about a pound, and was about 10 inches long."
"He was too weak to move very much, expending any energy he had trying to breathe," Stanek said. "Toward the end he was so quiet that I couldn't tell if he was still alive unless I held him up to the light to see if his heart was still beating through his chest wall.
"After he was pronounced dead, we folded his little arms across his chest, wrapped him in a tiny shroud, and carried him to the hospital morgue where all of our dead patients are taken," Stanek recalled.
Although failed abortions are rarely discussed, they are fairly common. It’s living proof of what an abortion does, or tries to do. Some children have been lucky enough to not suffer any serious injuries, or deformations; but many others did not get so lucky…
Let’s first discuss Ana Rosa Rodriguez, October of 01 her mother sought an abortion; shortly before the actual procedure she had a change of heart, but the abortionist told her it was too late, his staff held her down & sedated her then after she awoke she was told to come back the next day to finish the abortion. Later that night she experienced bleeding. She went to the hospital and delivered Ana, who was missing her right arm from the procedure. http://www.vanderbilt.edu/SFL/ana_rosa1.htm
Now let’s discuss Betty Smith had an abortion in November of 1970. But to her surprise she was carrying twins, and one survived – Sarah. She was born with hip problems & has undergone several surgeries, but her & her mother travel and speak against abortion.
Ximena Renaerts was born alive after an attempted abortion, gasping for air she was whisked away in a pot to be put with the remains of dead babies. http://www.vanderbilt.edu/SFL/renaerts.htm
Sarah, a not so lucky abortion survivor…
The partial-birth abortion procedure was not yet in vogue. Sarah, as her adoptive parents later named her, was already positioned in the womb to be born. The abortionist injected the baby’s head, in two places, the left side of her forehead above the eyebrow and at the base of the skull, with potassium Chloride, leaving permanent burn marks and needle track scars. The pregnant 15-year-old left the office with the admonition to return the next day for the completion of the abortion… http://www.vanderbilt.edu/SFL/sarah_brown.htm
