COLUMBUS, Ohio, May 23, 2018 (LifeSiteNews) – Twin premature newborn boys died at an Ohio hospital last year while staff stood by refusing to give them medical assistance, a pro-life group is reporting, and the hospital classified the boys’ deaths as stillbirth.
Both boys were born alive at 22 weeks and 5 days gestational age at Riverside Methodist Hospital in Columbus, according to the report.
The first born, Emery, survived for 45 minutes. His younger brother, Elliot, lived for two and a half hours, even crying, and his mother, Amanda, begged for help to no avail.
Alarming footage released today by Created Equal shows both boys just after their births.
Amanda is shown in the video beseeching in the case of Emery, “You guys are going to save him, right? Promise me they’re going to save him.”
Amanda then says, “Look at him, please save him.”
Amanda is shown holding and speaking to her newborn boys in the video.
Later in the video, she tells Elliot, “Mommy tried, Mommy tried.”

I meant no offense.
I’m sorry for the loss of your child.
No, there is a certain point that there is no ability to survive outside the uterus ... so far.
The day has long passed since “religious affiliation” means much at hospitals, any more than at universities. I do know the Catholic affiliated hospitals won’t perform abortions, not even Georgetown (where the U is estranged, at best, from the teachings of the Catholic Church). I would imagine at a Catholic hospital, like Georgetown, they would have attempted to save the babies, probably believing the effort to be futile.

UK socialized healthcare is in worse shape than Canada, France, Sweden, etc. My daughter came down with a bad case of flu in France, and her friends in France took her to see a doctor and received treatment for almost no cost to her.
UK pays too little to doctors and that has caused a shortage.
Also, like I said before if your health insurance does not cover the unborn, any private hospital can not afford to take on the case. Private hospitals are run for profit, not philanthropy or religious beliefs.
Apparently I can’t...for you,
It was a long time ago.....
I apologize...for the name calling.
Our baby was born dead.
