I was just trying to point out that there can be complications. Perhaps one can operate just once for a cleft palate but his was of a nature that that didn't work.
The pro-death except for capital punishment folks profess to be scandalized by a 34-minute execution (but not by Terri Schiavo's 13-day execution). So why is it acceptable to kill innocents in an average of 80 minutes?
I think we have a role reversal here. Innocent children are being treated like murderous criminals, and murderous criminals like innocent children. Therefore, we propose:
1) All children born alive should be presumed to be children and should have full rights to appeal their death sentence.
2) All criminals convicted of capital crimes should be presumed to be late-term abortions and made to die of neglect to protect their mother's health. Progressive thinking holds that every form of execution is unacceptable. Therefore, we must switch to the Terri Schiavo solution -- withdraw their food and hydration. That's not "killing" them at all according to progressive thinking. It's an "end of life decision" that "terminates" a "fetus" that is "not viable" by removing "extraordinary means" of "life support." Furthermore, it's a euphoric experience for them.
Voila! Two huge social problems solved.
I can just imagine what the ‘health professionals’ [I refuse to use the word ‘nurse’ in this context] think when they see the ‘expelled fetus’ take a breath: Oh, damn, now we will have to wait until this “product of abortion” stops breathing!
Many years ago the NICU where I worked received a patient who had refused to die for hours after her ‘delivery’- she survived to be discharged months later, but was severely handicapped. The abortion doctor had mistaken her gestation and she was aborted at 24/5 weeks.
That type of admission did not occur again, so I bet the “protocol” was changed, and babies born alive were just not recognized.
Thank you. Nursing is a glorious and selfless calling. Those who are so hardened that they would let a baby die of neglect do not deserve the honor or the title of nurse.
I don't what to call them, but whatever it is, the name couldn't be printed in a family publication.

It is shocking that the precious value of these children incl. our own is held by some to be purely subjective. How could anyone hold and cuddle a tiny sleeping infant, look into her sleeping face - the epitome of innocence, peace, and utter dependence - and maintain the disposability of such a precious gift? Has anyone else ever noticed the subtle discomfort in a pro-choicer's face as he or she is offered the chance to hold a newborn?
Congratulations!!!
And I agree with everything else you wrote.
This makes me sick to my soul.
