Nine years ago today, in July of 1993, a pregnant teenager and her parents traveled hundreds of miles to Wichita, Kansas for a third-trimester abortion. The abortionist began the procedure by injecting a poisonous syringe through the pregnant teenager's uterus and into the upper left portion of the unborn baby's face. He then instructed the teenager to return to his office the next day for the completion of the procedure. To everyone's dismay, the unborn baby failed to die during the intervening hours. Later that night, the teenager began to suffer excruciating abdominal pains. Her parents rushed her to a local hospital, where the baby was eventually removed from the uterus... alive. The delivery room staff felt that life-support efforts would be futile at this point, so they wrapped the baby in a bassinet without attendance. The teenager and her parents quickly left for home. Even without medical care, the baby remained alive. After a number of hours had passed, the medical staff decided to give her treatment. Miraculously, she managed to survive. Sarah Brown, as her adoptive mother later named her, lived until the age of 5, when she finally succumbed to the developmental harm that was done to her body during the abortion. The poisonous solution that the abortionist injected into the side of her face had left her blind and severely disabled. Prior to the abortion, baby Sarah Brown was a perfectly normal baby. The relevant medical records indicate that she had no disabilities or deformities. If the abortionist hadn't attempted to poison her, she would be a healthy 9 year old girl, with an entire life ahead of her. Instead, she lays in a grave. |
