Baby Born In Waiting Room Murdered At Florida Abortion Clini

Baby born in waiting room murdered at florida abortion clinic

officials "put the baby in a bag and walked away with it"

hialeah, florida, july 31, 2006 (lifesitenews.Com) – an investigation is underway at a florida abortion clinic after police found the body of a baby, following a tip that the child had been killed after birth.

Nbc6 news reported friday on the discovery by hialeah police, who said they had received a call alleging that someone at the abortion clinic had killed a baby born alive on the premises july 20.

An initial search revealed nothing, police said, but another tip on friday from an additional source led them back to the clinic where they discovered the body of the male child—approximately 22-weeks gestational development—in a biohazard container.

“we were able to locate the mother of this child, who is an 18-year-old female. We located her. She, in fact, reiterated that she did come to this clinic to have an abortion, and she gave birth to the baby while waiting for the doctor to arrive. The doctor was not here,” lt. Ralph garcia of the hialeah police department told nbc6 news.

According to the anonymous caller who reported the incident, after the woman gave birth to her child in the waiting room, "employees cut the umbilical cord, put the baby in a bag and walked away with it," garcia said.

Police chief rolando bolanos ordered the clinic, a gyn diagnostic center, to close until the investigation has been concluded. The miami-dade medical examiner’s office has not yet determined the exact cause of death for the child. Police are waiting for the autopsy results to reveal if a homicide was committed.

Attorney regina demoraes-millan, representing one of the clinic owners and a clinic employee, told the miami herald that her clients were cooperating fully with the investigation.

“my clients run an abortion clinic. It’s a legal business,” she said.

A florida abortion clinic in orlando was accused last year of refusing to assist an infant reportedly born alive, despite the mother’s pleas for help. Autopsy results to determine if the child was alive at birth were inconclusive.

Under the born-alive infants protection law, a child is considered born alive if it breaths, if the heart is beating, the umbilical cord pulsating or if there is voluntary movement. A child born alive at any stage of development is entitled to full legal protection and all necessary medical intervention

What's the difference between the baby being killed inside the mother and born dead and/or removed or it being born alive and then dying from lack of medical assistance? If it's legal to abort a baby at 22 weeks then why does it suddenly become different when the baby is outside of the womb? Why is one 'abortion' and the other 'homicide'?

Interesting.

that's correct I don't see any difference as well. In both cases the baby is 22 weeks. Whether the baby is killed through medical abortion or it born and then put in a biohazard trashcan to me is the same thing.

So it is the baby's ability to breath "air" what makes it one abortion and the other homicide.

How the heck did this 18 year old get an abortion at 22 weeks anyway? That's crazy... That's a 5 month old fetus, it's no suprise it was born alive however, how the hell did she go into labor?

What is going on here? I don't think the technicians should have done what they did unless they had permission from the mother; from both mothers, including the one who pleaded for them to help the child.

There are a lot of things wrong here, and the least one is the fact that she wanted an abortion.

If the kid was actually born (as in without the mother being induced), it probably would have been better off dead anyway. A child born that prematurely would most likely have any number of birth defects. The girl was going to get an abortion anyway, so what's the big deal? The fetus was going to die in the end anyway, so what difference does it make?

People are so stupid sometimes. I'm ashamed to admit i'm part of the human race sometimes, I swear.

amazing just .E.D.I.T. .F.O.R. .A.B.U.S.I.V.E. .L.A.N.G.U.A.G.E. Amazing, pro choice argue time after time that it cannot be murder because the child is not born, yet here is a born child and you lot claim it is still not homicide., well it is that child was not dependent on the mother anymore therefore she has no right to say let the child die and the doctors should be struck off has he broke the hypocratic oath.The difference cambion can you not see, can I kill you and get away with it, because you are going to die anyway, so whats the difference are people of a certain age worth more cambion, whether you like or dislike children, whether you support abortion or not, this is a case that is as illegal as me shooting someone dead in the streets.

Well, I agree with eiri in the fact that there's alot of this that doesn't quite add up but the fact is that if this happened the baby (as it was outside of the uterus) shouldn't have been treat like that, if it was born alive then it shouldn't have been killed.

she has the right to refuse to let doctors carry out medical treatment on the child as she's the legal mother and the only one capable of giving consent.

not if by denying that medical treatment results in the death of the child. Refusing a child medical treatment is child cruelty and neglect and in any civilised country is not tolerated.
So untill that child reaches the legal age of an adult, 18 in some countrys 21 in others, then the mother can withold medical treatment because she is the legal mother.So she can refuse to let the child have an abortion and you would not say anything against her, doubt that very much.

wrong.It's not about legal age it's about being capable of being able to consent to procedures (understaning the nature of the treatment/what will happen if it's proceed or not prodceeded ris/possible side effects and complications/do the benefits outweigh the negatives etc...) but until this can happen (which is worked out subjectively) then the legal parent/guardians have to give consent - if they refuse and it's considered unreasonable for them to withold (the major example being jehovah's witnesses refusing to allow their children blood transfusions) then an emergency court order must be gained which means the local authority will be able to grant consent for the child/person unable of giving consent.
This applies to adults uncapable of giving consent to.
Refusing to allow an 18week premature unwanted baby (who will probably die anyway) treatment is hardly unreasonable, especially when it's not a hospital, it wouldn't have had the equiptment needed for such a premature child.
Doctors are allowed to not treat someone, even if it will result in death (passive euthanasia) and this is in a civilised country (england)

as for your abortion example then if the child is old enough to understand the procedure then her parents have no say in the matter - it wouldn't matter whether it was an abortion or another procedure, if she's gillick compentent then she can have it done if she consents.

I can only imagine being a worker in the abortion clinic and put a baby like that alive in a bag and walking away. How cruel, cold blodded and heartless that is! Eiri are you there? Can you tell me if it is instinct of survival to put an alive baby in a bag and walking away?

It makes me shiver the thought! Proof that the devil exists.

that is not proof that the devil exists, that is proof of an abortion clinic crew who were worried and didn't know what to do with the live birth; so they did the only thing they could think of: they finished the job. It's not nice, and I don't totally agree with it; but she was ther for an abortion, and the got one. I still want to know why she was in labor.

I don't believe that it is proof that the devil exists, although I can fully understand why someone who is a .Christian would believe that the devil was involved here. However, people do crazy things when they panic - also, it's amazing what someone will do if an authority figure orders them to do it.

That does not for a minute excuse anybody's actions though - just might help explain them.

as far as i'm concerned, a "baby" that young is still a fetus. How many babies born almost four months premature can survive without medical intervention? I find the possibility of a girl giving birth on the day she is scheduled to have an abortion to be astronomical - there's something in the story that seems to be missing. But as I said before, the girl went to the clinic to have an abortion - maybe she wasn't expecting a post-natal abortion, but she got what she went for. The child probably would have perished anyway, as I had said before, so I don't see this as being on the same level of malice as slaughtering a two-year-old.

Also, my opinion has nothing to do with my dislike for children. I agree that the clinic may not have done the greatest thing in the world in this situation, but it's an abortion clinic - not a maternity ward. Was the patient supposed to walk away with the child she didn't want in the first place?
