Hialeah, FL - Dec 03, 2006 An autopsy report released last week obtained by Operation Rescue now indicates that a baby that was reportedly born alive then intentionally killed at a Hialeah abortion mill in July was indeed born alive.
However, it is unclear how this determination will affect any criminal prosecutions. The Hialeah Police are asking for murder charges to be filed against those responsible for the baby’s death.
On July 20, an 18-year old woman reported to the A Gyn Diagnostics abortion mill to complete an abortion in her 22nd week of pregnancy. The doctor was not on hand and she was placed in a recovery room to await his arrival. After several hours, the woman gave birth to a live baby girl who, according to the mother and another witness, “was moving and gasping for air.” The baby was put into a plastic bag by clinic owner Belkis Gonzalez, then tossed up on the roof of the abortion mill.
An anonymous caller tipped the police, and the baby’s body was discovered a week later and sent to the Miami-Dade County Medical Examiner for autopsy.
The report indicates that the baby, a 22-week baby girl with black hair and brown eyes, was apparently healthy at the time of her birth. Her cause of death is listed as “extreme prematurity,” and the manner of her death was “natural.”
The natural death determination was made because the coroner did not believe the baby, now named Shanice Denise Osbourne, had any chance of survival.
“It doesn’t matter if Shanice had a 100 percent or a zero percent chance of survival. Once she was born, she was deserving of the same protections under the law as the rest of us,” said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman. “At the minimum, she should have been given comfort care. Shoving her into a plastic bag and tossing her onto a roof to die is just unconscionable.”
It has also been learned that Gonzalez has placed her house up for sale.
“If Gonzalez and her cohorts are to be charged, they better do it quickly,” said Newman. “We have seen abortionists flee in the face of prosecution over less than this. Gonzalez and her associates should be considered flight risks.”
You're probably right; abortionists murder human babies while prostitutes help to muder innocence!
This report is particularly revolting to me. I almost can't stand it!

I just don't know. I just do not understand. But this story has the effect of shredding the soul! It's so base, there are no words for it!

i must be missing something, did the "mother" who wanted the "fetus" "aborted" get upset when she saw the "fetus" gasping for air? what did she think was going to happen in an abortion, the goal and outcome is no more pregnancy, no more life. Second thing that i seem to be missing, who named the "fetus"? did the "mother" sentence her "fetus" to death and then name it?
it's so telling that a "fetus" is a "baby" only if it is wanted, if it's not wanted, it's trash.
Well stated!

It looks and acts more and more like it; doesn't it?

Of course not.
Exactly! People don't realize what a tenuous thread that kind of definition of life is! Welcome to the Reich indeed!
Was it?
I'm confused as to why you are posting to me about Abraham's "willingness" to sacrifice Isaac.
Maybe I missed the part where the staff at the abortion clinic said, "God told us to kill the child."
My post was about the Towers of Silence, which are used to dispose of bodies. My post was not about human sacrifice or murder.
Indeed!
And in the end, God never intended for Abraham to sacrifice his son. God provided a lamb. I have tried to understand the comparison too.

It just seemed odd to post an image of the Towers of Silence in specific. Zoroastrians are rarely referenced at all, despite disproportionately constructive influence on the world. Why cast them negatively?
Of course. The willingness to kill a child is always wrong, regardless of the religious views from which that willingness springs. Some FreeRepublic posters invoke the name of "Molech" when comparing child sacrifice to abortion and that's fine, but, the "god" of Abraham fits the same mold.
With all due respect, I disagree. The willingness was not to kill a child. The willingness was to obey the Lord God! Abraham trusted God and there was a sacrifice of a child. I aaume you know your Biblical history. It is important to always know the CONTEXT of a Bible passage or verse before espousing a view point. God never intended for Abraham to sacrifice his son.
Also important to know is the fact that this particular portion of the Bible, found in the book of Genesis, is a foreshadow or a "type" of the future when God sacrificed His own Son in order to atone for the sins of the world.
So, again, I respectfully disagree with you in that Abraham, in his obedience to God, is to be likened to "Molech"

BUMP!!!
Thank you for explaining your opinion.
Where's my negative implication?
I merely mentioned a parallel between two man-made structures, with roofs that are employed to help nature dispose of human bodies.
I don't find crosscultural comparisons "odd." I've always loved learning about other cultures.
Here's my post again...
Zoroastrians place human bodies on Towers of Silence
Seems pretty straightforward to me.
I'm no theologian, but it seems to me that two separate people are involved.
1. Abraham, who was willing to sacrifice ('give up') his son Isaac
and
2. Abraham's God, who had no intention of demanding that the sacrifice actually be carried out.
Child sacrifice might have been carried out by people Abraham knew, who were told their gods demanded such a sacrifice.
Whether that is true or not, as far as I know, Abraham's God has never carried through on any demand for humans to sacrifice their children.
What is your understanding of "moloch'?
