ONE TOUGH CLUMP:
Boy is aborted 3 times and lives (Lois Rogers and Sarah-Kate Templeton, 2/13/05, Sunday Times of London)
A BABY survived at least three attempts to abort it from the womb and was born alive at 24 weeks old.Posted by Orrin Judd at February 13, 2005 12:00 AMThe boy was delivered in hospital after his 24- year-old mother changed her mind about wanting the child after feeling it move on the way home from an abortion clinic.
Although the clinic had told her an ultrasound scan had confirmed the child was dead, she went into labour that afternoon and the boy was born alive.
Now two years old and healthy, he is the first long-term abortion survivor to have been born so prematurely. His remarkable entrance into the world is documented in the Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology.
Wasn't this in a Cordwainer Smith story?

Posted by: Amos at February 13, 2005 4:23 AMThere's a lawyer, somewhere thinking medical malpractice lawsuit. Of course he has to find a victim first.
Posted by: h-man at February 13, 2005 4:46 AMWhen the child gets old enough, I assume he could sue the abortion clinic for attempted murder. That one would keep Court TV's talking heads busy for a while.

Posted by: Phil at February 13, 2005 3:02 PMThe mother is the victim here. She should sue the clinic. Why wasn't the job done right! I AM NOT BEING SERIOUS HERE.
I think she should have been arrested for attempted murder. But then again, she will have to look at her son for as long as she lives knowing that she tried to terminate his life. she will also have to go through life knowing that her son knows all about it.
