Woman Leaves Her Newborn Baby in Toilet Covered With Toilet Paper
Life News ^ | June 7, 2023 | Micaiah Bilger

A young woman in South Carolina was charged with homicide last week after authorities said she left her newborn daughter in a toilet covered with soiled toilet paper.

The Times and Democrat reports the baby girl was still alive when emergency responders arrived at her home, but she died a short time later.

On Friday, the infant’s mother, Amari Chanel Marsh, 22, of Orangeburg, was charged with murder/homicide by child abuse and could spend 20 years to life in prison, if convicted, according to court documents.

The Orangeburg County Sheriff’s Office said Marsh discovered she was pregnant in November and, in January, went to a Planned Parenthood in Columbia for abortion drugs. South Carolina has several laws to protect unborn babies from abortion, but they currently are blocked by court orders.

According to the sheriff, Marsh did not go to her follow-up abortion appointment to see if the abortion drugs successfully killed her unborn baby and expelled the body from her womb.

The local news report continues:

On Feb. 28, she experienced pain in her abdomen, so she went to the Regional Medical Center, as it was then known, and learned that she was pregnant and the unborn baby had a heartbeat, the report said.

A deputy wrote, “Marsh advised the energy in the room was off and she felt uncomfortable so she left to respond to her residence.” …

The next day at 3 a.m., Marsh went to the bathroom and allegedly gave birth to her baby girl in the toilet.

According to the sheriff’s office, she called 911 at 3:16 a.m. and was told multiple times by the Orangeburg County EMS to take her baby out of the toilet and wait for emergency responders to arrive.

When they did, medics said they found the baby girl still in the toilet and “covered in used toilet paper,” according to the report. They said Marsh told them she was in shock and did not know what to do.

Medics said the baby girl was still alive, and they tried to save her as they took her to the hospital; however, she died a short time later, the sheriff’s office reported.

The horrific allegations serve as a reminder that infanticide is still a problem across the United States.

In America, all 50 states have safe haven laws that allow mothers to safely surrender their newborns to authorities, often at a police station or hospital, without repercussions as long as the infant is unharmed. Several states also have baby boxes installed in fire stations where women can safely surrender newborns. Typically, laws allow safe surrender within a certain time limit, such as up to 30 days after the baby’s birth.

But details of the alleged crime also raise questions about the Planned Parenthood abortion chain and if it improperly dated the young woman’s pregnancy, putting her and her unborn baby’s lives at risk.

The report did not mention how far along Marsh was in her pregnancy at the time of the abortion or when she gave birth, but the dates in the report and the fact that medics tried to resuscitate the baby girl suggest that the infant likely was viable. Two months before giving birth, Marsh received abortion drugs from Planned Parenthood, according to the report. However, the FDA only approves abortion drugs up to 10 weeks of pregnancy, and it appears Marsh may have been much further along.

Pro-life advocates have been concerned about a rise in abortions and risks to pregnant mothers since the Biden administration ended vital safety regulations for the abortion drug mifepristone about a year ago. Since then, there have been reports of attempted forced abortions and women going to emergency rooms suffering complications. And OB-GYNs say women also have been calling their offices traumatized after seeing their aborted babies’ bodies in the toilet.

Same facial affect of the Belsen female guards at their trial and execution. Blank murderous stare, and... stupid.

...what the f**k is it with degenrates named “Amari”....?? the Richmond Virginia shooter is also named Amari....something in the water....??

...”(one of the deceased....) reportedly had a long-running feud with Amari Pollard, the lone suspect in the shooting that unfolded Tuesday around 5:15 p.m. EDT in a park across the street from a theater where the graduation ceremony for Huguenot High School was being held.”

for info.....

“The name Amari is both a boy’s name and a girl’s name of Hebrew origin meaning “eternal”.

She tried to kill it with abortion drugs which would have been okay and then she neglected it to die on its own. Which apparently is outrageous.

Praise Jesus. All ignorant innocent life will be saved, no.matter their demise.

Trust and believe in Jesus, the living son of God, who will come again and rapture his Church, defeat evil and satan and make all things new forever and ever.
