Abortion Worker Arrested, Jailed In Death Of Baby Born Alive During Botched Abortion

MIAMI, March 3, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Unlicensed abortion worker Belkis Gonzalez was arrested today and jailed on two felony counts related to the death of a baby born alive during a botched abortion in Hialeah, Florida, in 2006.

According to the arrest warrant obtained by Operation Rescue, Gonzalez was charged with the unlicensed practice of a health care profession resulting in serious bodily injury, a second degree felony, and with tampering with or fabricating physical evidence, a third degree felony. She faces a minimum penalty of a fine of $1,000 and a minimum mandatory period of incarceration of one year.

As of this writing, Gonzalez is being held at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center in Miami on a $50,000 bond.

"These charges are not exactly what we were hoping for, but we are thankful that Ms. Gonzalez will be finally held accountable for her part in the death of Shanice Osbourne," said Rev. Patrick J. Mahoney, director of the Christian Defense Coalition. Rev. Mahoney held a press conference in Miami on February 20, asking State Attorney Katherine Rundle for a criminal prosecution.

"For two and a half years we have worked to expose Gonzalez's actions that resulted in the death of Baby Shanice and bring her to justice. Today, we are gratified that Ms. Gonzalez is finally behind bars where she belongs," said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman. "This victory belongs to all who called and wrote asking for justice to be done. There is little doubt this would have been swept under the rug and forgotten if not for the public pressure that was brought to bear."

Gonzalez was working at a Hialeah abortion mill when a 19 year old girl came in to complete an abortion that was started the previous day. Abortionist Pierre Renelique failed to show up for the abortion appointment, and the baby girl was born alive. Gonzalez then cut the baby's umbilical cord, shoved the her in a trash bag, then hid her body on the abortion clinic roof.

Renelique's medical license was revoked last month because of his negligence in this case. A civil suit is also pending against Renelique, Gonzalez and others responsible for Shanice Osbourne's death. The abortion clinic where she died is closed.

"...the baby girl was born alive. Gonzalez then cut the baby's umbilical cord, shoved the her in a trash bag, then hid her body on the abortion clinic roof."

I dont know which part of this outrageous case bothers me most. The murder itself or the fact that the word murder appears nowhere in the article or the title. The left has hinged their position on the definition that life begins at birth not conception, yet here is a clear case where a child was actually born alive and the article does not address the fact that this case obviously crossed the line of that definition and does not call it what it is - murder.

[mockingbyrd]

sounds like a succesful abortion....what’s the big deal?

What a sick society we are......

[GonzoII]

"Why isn’t she being charged with homocide?"

Because the world has gone mad.

[stockpirate]

Guilty! Oh sorry wrong thread.

[ccmay]

When Obamao was a state senator, he voted to make this perfectly legal.

He is of the Devil.

Hell can not find this woman soon enough.

Captain Willard: “It’s a way we had over here for living with ourselves. We cut ‘em in half with a machine gun and give ‘em a Band-Aid. It was a lie. And the more I saw them, the more I hated lies.”

“Somehow I see Obama exonerating her.”

If she had let the girl lay on a table to slowly die on her own, she’d be a shoo-in for an Obama pardon.

[isom35]

“her latest mug shot” does she already have a few racked up?

[NowApproachingMidnight]

Eternal flames of hell await you, woman.

[MHGinTN]

Yes, it wopuld not be out of character. While in IL, Obama worked on several occasions to protect the murdering of born alive infants, thus effectively proving he would gladly remove Constitutional rights of the most vulnerable in order to serve his agenda/political empowerment. Barry Soetoro, aka Barack Obama is a very wicked man. Black people have fallen on their knees to worship a very evil thing.

"Why isn’t she being charged with homicide?"

Apparently, abortion isn't murder. I would assume since the girl's original intent was to abort a REAL LIVE BABY, that birthing the baby then murdering it would not constitute actual murder.

Personally, I would like to see this "mother" have murder charges brought up against her as well.

[NoGrayZone]

"Eternal flames of hell await you, woman WOMEN.

Let's not forget the pregnant one who started all of this. Without her wanting to murder her child in the 1st place, there would be no story.
