Infanticide Hearing Witness Says Hospital Created ‘Comfort Room’ For Aborted Babies To Die In

* Testimony from nurse Jill Stanek asserts that Christ Church Hospital in Illinois created a “comfort room” for aborted babies to die in.

* Stanek spoke at a hearing on infanticide in Washington, D.C., where lawmakers and activists spoke out against born-alive abortion.

* Doctors at Christ Church Hospital performed born alive abortions and would afterward allow the babies to die.

WASHINGTON. Christ Hospital in Oak Lawn, Illinois, allegedly has a ‘comfort room’ for aborted babies who are born alive to die in, according to nurse Jill Stanek.

Stanek spoke about her experiences Wednesday at a hearing on the Born Alive Act in Washington, D.C.

The nurse explained that while she was working at the hospital, she observed that doctors performed “live birth abortions,” a procedure in which the doctors perform an abortion and allow the baby to die during or after the abortion.

Stanek explained that Christ Hospital offered “comfort care” to babies who were born alive during these abortions, because these babies often survived for at least two hours after they were born. The hospital did not yet respond to a request for comment from the Daily Caller News Foundation.

Comfort care, Stanek said, is to wrap the baby in a blanket and keep the baby warm until the baby dies. Parents at Christ Hospital were given the option to hold the baby as well.

“If staff did not have the time or desire to hold the baby, she was taken to Christ Hospital’s Comfort Room, which was complete with a First Photo machine if parents wanted professional pictures of their aborted baby, baptismal supplies, gowns and certificates, foot printing equipment and baby bracelets for mementos, and a rocking chair,” Stanek explained in a testimony previously posted

“Before the Comfort Room was established, babies were taken to the Soiled Utility Room to die,” Stanek added in her article.

The nurse compared the care to what Democratic Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam said in a January interview: “The infant would be delivered. The infant would be kept comfortable. The infant would be resuscitated if that’s what the mother and the family desired, and then a discussion would ensue between the physicians and the mother.”

Stanek also told those assembled that she once witnessed a nurse deliver a live baby, cut the umbilical cord but fail to clamp it (causing the baby to begin bleeding), put the baby in a bag and throw the child in the trash.

“One night, a nursing co-worker was taking a baby with Down syndrome who had been aborted alive to our Soiled Utility Room because his parents did not want to hold him, and she did not have time to hold him,” Stanek said. The baby was 21 to 22 weeks old, she said. “Toward the end, he was so quiet I could not tell if he was still alive,” Stanek said. “I held him up to the light to see through his chest wall whether his heart was still beating. After he was pronounced dead, I folded his little arms across his chest, wrapped him in a tiny shroud and carried him to the hospital morgue where all of our dead patients are taken.”

This incident prompted Stanek to end her employment at Christ Hospital.

The nurse explained that she could not bear the thought of the baby dying alone in the Soiled Utility Room. Stanek held the baby for the last 45 minutes of his life, saying he was too weak to move since any energy he had he was using to breathe.

“Better question is why they would not help a baby who survived an abortion. Their side said life begins at birth. Well the baby survived them and made it to birth, so now isn’t letting the baby die murder?”

This is only the second step in the process. Next will come babies born with birth defects, followed by babies up to the age of three who have any form of autism, and then who knows. This will eventually lead to extermination by the left.

Irresponsible sex. Selfishness. No absolute moral code and concept of right and wrong. All these issues are seen in society...but allowed to flourish in usa during hippie era...now is commonplace. Ya’ reap what you sow.

[[Brutal. What is wrong with people?]]

They are just doing the bidding of their master- They have given their lives over to the Evil One- either consciously, or unknowingly- but even if it is unknowingly, they have given their lives over to sinful desires, which is of Satan even though they don’t realize it or consciously make a decision to follow Him and His ways- (Note- I’m sure not many are outright Satanists, but again- they do submit to His will by following their evil desires to murder what God has created)-

This is Satan’s realm- and Evil most definitely exists as witnessed by the blood lust of these mass murderers

We all are- Christians are no exception-

[[ I need to be better....]]

but thankfully we can be redeemed- not by living better, but by Accepting Christ as Savior- thankfully it’s not up to us to save ourselves, because none of us could ever be good enough to do so-

That is how the killings started in Hitler’s Germany: first those with birth defects, then handicapped people, people in institutions, retarded people, and then Jews.

If you live near college go to their library and ask them if the have copies of the transcripts of the Nuremberg war crimes trials (any decent college library should have it); it consists of 15 volumes; the first volume is called “The doctor trials” and it gives a very graphic description of these horrors.

Warning: it takes a very strong stomach to read.
