FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: April 25, 2005
Orlando, FL – Angele, a single mother in her thirties with two children, thought that abortion was the answer to her circumstances. At almost 23 weeks gestation, she entered the EPOC Clinic in Orlando, Florida. Little did she realize that the next day she would give birth to a live, perfectly healthy boy whom she named Rowan. Cradling Rowan’s moving body, her screams for help were ignored by abortion clinic workers while her son took his last breath.
The clinic is known for late-term abortions and its well-known founder, Dr. James Pendergraft. A few years ago he served time in a federal prison regarding an alleged scheme to extort the city of Ocala, Florida by means of his other abortion clinic in that city.
On April 1, Angele was given Valium and laminaria were inserted in her cervix to begin dilation. She was told to return the following day. On April 2, Angele took prescribed medicine to induce labor. Cramping and crying, she went to the clinic and knocked repeatedly on the door. Eventually someone came and directed her to a room that had dried blood on the wall. She was given a blanket that was still wet. She began to bleed and go into labor. Despite her cries, no one assisted her. After one hard push, the baby was born, fully intact and definitely alive. Angele said, “His right leg moved. He curled up a bit, like he was cold; I screamed but no one came.” She pleaded for the clinic workers to call 911 but they did not.
Angele caressed and comforted her son by rubbing his back, tummy and chest. “I stroked his precious little head and kept telling him I loved him and we would be okay,” she said. Still no one came to help. Eventually Angele, holding the baby still attached to the umbilical cord, ran to get her cell phone. Help did not arrive in time. Rowan took his last breath.“After a few minutes I realized for certain that he was gone. I picked up my son. I held him to my chest. I rocked him and prayed. I could not stop crying,” said Angele. “I felt so bad. I felt so helpless. I had been so wrong to come here … I wanted to fix and change everything once I saw Rowan’s precious little face and body. All we needed was someone to get us to safety,” Angele said.
Mathew D. Staver, President and General Counsel of Liberty Counsel, which represents Angele, stated: “When I visited baby Rowan at the funeral home and saw his precious little body, fully formed with blond eyelashes and growing fingernails, I wondered, ‘How can we continue to kill our children and hide behind the rubric of choice?’ Rowan’s short life will not be in vain if his story can give life and hope to mothers who believe their only choice is abortion. Rowan joins the ranks of thousands of children who die each day by abortion. Most have no names and we never see their faces. We must restore a culture of life. We must protect our precious, innocent children. We must extend a healing hand to mothers like Angele. The rhetoric and the politics of abortion must be replaced by a culture of life.”
Photographs of Rowan’s fully intact, perfectly formed body are posted in his memory at LC.org.

It's a long, hard road ahead for our country. Some say God is unpredictable. On the contrary, He's very predictable. One can predict with 100% surety that God casts judgment upon all of our actions - as individuals and as nations.
We've got a tab running and it's getting higher by the day...
Mom is just as guilty. Associate with dogs you will smell like one.
I'm speechless.
thanks for posting.
I may not be the most righteous conservative, but at least I can read an article like this and not have to carry the burden of those who support this disgusting and barbaric practice. I'm am shocked and sickened by this. And I'm terrified knowing that there are those who celebrate this kind of mayhem as as proper and even heroic.
Bingo. It's all about the money.
A clinic?? Boy, Florida has lax health regulations on abortions.
Most state require abortions after 12 weeks to be preformed in a hospital.
She had to call outside the clinic for help. Apparently there is a severe penalty for changing one's mind.
If he was convicted, can we stop calling it an "alleged scheme?"
Please.
Agreed. She knew she went there to kill her "problem" she just didn't think it would be as ugly a deed as it turned out to be. I pray for her and the regrets she will have to live with. Perhaps this childs death-story will convince someone out there not to make such a horrific decision.
"Angele caressed and comforted her son by rubbing his back, tummy and chest. “I stroked his precious little head and kept telling him I loved him and we would be okay,”"
She killed her son. It's that simple. She and her lawyers can blame everyone else in the world, but the mother was given the gift of a son by god and she throw him in the garbage. These people are murders.
“I felt so bad. I felt so helpless. I had been so wrong to come here … I wanted to fix and change everything once I saw Rowan’s precious little face and body. All we needed was someone to get us to safety,” Angele said.
Praying for this mother and what she must be going through!
How anyone can support the legalization of baby murder makes my stomach turn. And I think about good folks who have had so many problems having children; or folks who have had children born with serious birth defects and still care for them. And to think others simply just have their kids sucked away.
I hope you are wrong.
I fear you are right.
I have no sympathy for the mother.
She got exactly what she asked for. Hope it haunts her for the rest of her life.
