SCALPEL! CLAMP! ROCK!:

Fifty babies a year are alive after abortion (Lois Rogers, 11/27/05, Sunday Times of London)

A GOVERNMENT agency is launching an inquiry into doctors’ reports that up to 50 babies a year are born alive after botched National Health Service abortions.

The investigation, by the Confidential Enquiry into Maternal and Child Health (CEMACH), comes amid growing unease among clinicians over a legal ambiguity that could see them being charged with infanticide.


What should we call it when you kill an infant?

After a period of speechlessness, during which i actually felt the grip of my Airweight Bodyguard in my shoting hand, I settled down to the plan.

As the pro-death extremism of the progeny of Roe v. Wade is whittled down in the next few years, we need to plan for the demise of the abortion regime by such things as express criminalization of early infanticide. Fines, civil liabiltiy, and loss of professional licences will be a part of this, but exposure to a murder charge is the pay-off.

Counselling requirements, using technology, to educate birth-mothers of the consequences of their choice to revoke earlier choices will help. Plan.

Whatever happened with the story from Orlando earlier this year where a woman claimed she gave birth to a live baby at an abortion clinic and the staff refused to do anything about it?

"What should we call it when you kill an infant?"

You could always call it "women's health", that horrible euphemism for abortion that media outlets tried popularizing in the late '90s. Thankfully, that phrase never took and the reporters now call it abortion - always great when the cause you support has to be called sometheing else for fear it will alienate people.
