While not directly connected with the Idaho Falls area, I did feel this story would give charge to a very interesting debate amongst the local readers and contributors. Regardless of your politics or moral compass, this should not happen here in the United States, nor any country for that matter.

A recent UK article tells of an 18-year-old Florida woman’s, Sycloria Williams, visit to an abortion clinic, located just outside of Miami, in order to terminate her 23-week pregnancy.

Now, the young woman is suing the Florida clinic for “botching” her abortion by allowing her child to be born alive, and then placing the baby into a plastic bag and throwing the newborn out with the trash.

Allegedly, the doctor (Dr Renelique) did not arrive in time and Ms. Williams went into premature labor, delivering a live baby girl. Then, one of the clinic’s (un-licensed) owners cut the infant’s umbilical cord, placed the newborn into a red plastic biohazard bag and threw it out.

Police, one week later, recovered the decomposing remains of the infant child, found in a cardboard box, only after receiving anonymous tips. An autopsy revealed air in the baby girl’s lungs – proving that she was born alive and breathing.

A very sad – yet true story! Furthermore, let us not forget that Obama and Congress now want to re-implement the funding of overseas entities that assist in family planning – aka abortions.

(I encourage you to read the background and story concerning this post – notes and links provided below. Note that the youngest premature baby to ever survive, Amillia Taylor, was born at just 21 weeks and six days.)
