Left To Die

If an abortion in the UK doesnÂ’t produce a dead baby, the living baby is ignored until it dies.

Botched abortions mean that scores of babies are being born alive and left to die, an official report has revealed.

A total of 66 infants survived NHS termination attempts in one year alone, it emerged.

Rather than dying at birth as was intended, they were able to breathe unaided. About half were alive for an hour, while one survived ten hours.

I guess the thought is that a woman is entitled to a dead baby, no matter what it takes. In this country, we have laws requiring medical care for such newborns – but they are not often enforced.

I guess that we have become so accustomed to the notion of “choice” that we do not, as a society, give any value to the lives that someone else has chosen to end.
