Wichita, KS - June 24, 2008 - A murder investigation has been opened involving Shelley Sella, a California abortionist employed by George Tiller, who is reported to have intentionally stabbed to death an infant born alive during an abortion at Tiller's Women's Health Care Services abortion clinic in Wichita, Kansas.
Operation Rescue reported the incident to the Wichita Police Department after a former Tiller employee, Tina Davis, told Troy Newman and Cheryl Sullenger of the stabbing in April. It is believed that the alleged infanticide took place sometime in the past two years.
In addition, the incident has been reported to the Kansas State Board of Healing Arts, which has confirmed that the case has been assigned to an investigator.
Abortionist Shelley Sella is a "circuit rider" who splits her time between Tiller's Wichita clinic, a California Planned Parenthood clinic, and other, smaller abortion mills.
"Ms. Davis gave us a very specific eye-witness account about the incident," said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman. "We were told that the baby was 35 weeks gestation at the time of the abortion. The baby came out and was moving. Sella looked up at Ms. Davis, then picked up a utensil and stabbed the baby in the left ribcage, twisting the utensil until the baby quit moving. At 35 weeks, there is no doubt about viability. This is murder in anybody's book."
"We understand there are unique challenges to getting charges filed in this case since the body would have been cremated at Tiller's on-site crematorium. Without a body, any murder case becomes more difficult," said Newman. "However, because of the brutality of this murder and the gravity of this charge, we are compelled to demand that Tiller's clinic be closed by the State until a full inspection and investigation can take place, and that the medical licenses of Sella and her boss, Tiller, be immediately suspended."
"We have every reason to believe that the story she told us was true," said Newman. "We have been able to confirm many of the other things she told us. Ms. Davis came forward because she was troubled by what went on at the abortion clinic, and was seeking peace. We pray she finds it."
I have no problem buying this story. A few years ago they had testamony in washington dc regarding partial birth abortions.
Several nurses testified about how some babies were born alive and left on counters and or other rooms to die. My friend’s daughter who is an RN told me about an incident at a hospital she worked at. She is an OB nurse. I don’t remember exactly the incident but the baby who had down syndrome was supposed to be born dead. She wasn’t and they put her in another room to die. My friend refused to let this baby die alone and she went in and wrapped her up in a blanket and held her close to her heart until she died.
She left the hospital shortly thereafter. This happened several years ago, and she is still haunted by this. She told me flat out...This kind of stuff goes on all the time. She has made it clear at every place she worked, that she will not participate in any procedure that involves the death of an infant.
No, I am not surprised that this particular incident has occurred. It probably happens everyday.
Kansas is treading on very thin ice allowing this monster to continue performing late term abortions. I live in Oklahoma and I fear that we will feel the shocks when the earth opens up and swallows Wichita. What’s up Jayhawks? Are you asleep up there?
Gee, I wonder how soon CNN will splash this story all over the airwaves, while trumpeting Barry Hussein’s vote for stabbing infants??!!
Where women have been given the license to kill, marriage means everything and yet means nothing, children are sexualized before they are teens, the Bible is considered hate speech, morality is considered just a matter of taste, government doesn't represent the people, judges make the law, boys are being raised with no gender identity and suicides are increasing, girls are raised to hate boys, family, children, home, and themselves, special interest groups couldn't care less about their impact on the commonwealth, government is getting larger and larger no matter who is in office, spending is higher and higher no matter who is in office, Communist ideology is alive and well in our Congressional halls and we are just supposed to accept our differences.
The good people that raise their children right; that work hard and value family, God, country; that live their life with honor, respect, trust and love for their fellow man are STILL the backbone of this great nation. We must never stop and fight against the degenerative elements in our society because if we don't the house will fall. History has proved that over and over again.
“Explain.”
Will do.
“George Tiller, who is reported to...”
Reported to. Watch the recurrence of the “I heard it through the grapevine”
“Operation Rescue reported the incident...”
No, they reported what some woman told them.
“a former Tiller employee, Tina Davis, told Troy Newman and Cheryl Sullenger...”
She went to them instead of the cops? I know if I saw a person murdered, I would wait a good while and not go to the cops but some activist group. How long did she wait?
“It is believed that the alleged infanticide took place sometime in the past two years.”
I’m a pretty coarse bastard but I think I could at least pin down what year I witnessed a child being murdered.
“Ms. Davis gave us a very specific eye-witness account about the incident,”
Very specific except what year or month it took place. Gotcha.
“We were told that the baby was 35 weeks...”
We were told, yet again. 35 weeks is about 8.75 months. That is not an abortion, that is a birth. I’m supposed to believe, without a shred of evidence that a woman took a baby to term and then went to a clinic, knowing full well THEY may call the cops on her, for them to kill her full-term baby? That is a huge stretch. I mean freakin’ HUGE.
“However, because of the brutality of this murder and the gravity of this charge, we are compelled to demand...and that the medical licenses of Sella and her boss, Tiller, be immediately suspended.”
We have no evidence but (in good liberal speak) DUE TO THE SERIOUSNESS OF THE CHARGE we must circumvent the law.
“We have every reason to believe...”
I believe! More of that, see?
“Ms. Davis came forward because she was troubled...”
But she didn’t “come forward”. She went to an activist organization instead of the authorities after supposedly witnessing a murder that supposedly took place “some time in the past two years”.
I’m sorry, but this stinks to high heaven.
How does anyone commit such an act and sleep at night, how?/Just Asking - seoul62......
+1..as I sit here having breakfast with my nearly 5 month old daughter next to me in her play pen I feel things that simply can not be typed.
In his words, commenting on the “Born Alive Protection Act”:
it would be too much of a burden on the woman.
Hold on. Let's get this absolutely clear.
Obama didn't just vote against (or refuse to vote for) the preservation of the life of an "accidentally born" infant, (evil enough)
he ACTIVELY proposed legislation that the child should be left unattended to die (pure, unadulterated, intenional, active EVIL)?
Got a link/reference?
My daughter was born at 34 weeks, this is sickening. This Doctor needs to be given the death penalty.
And what kind of woman seeks an abortion barely 5 weeks before she is to deliver? Jesus, we beg you to come back and give love back to the world.
We all know the answer to that one. :-)
Did this happen before or after Governor Subelius’ taxpayer-funded party for Tiller and his staff? The one where he compared her to a racehorse who had brought him a jackpot.
True. But now we're talking about infanticide. And the Democrats have just nominated the first presidential candidate to vote in favor of legal infanticide, which the media finds un-noteworthy.
Not to be an alarmist, but the sky is falling. Or at least our country is on the highway to hell.
I really don’t understand how someone can have so seared their conscience as to not be totally repulsed by the evil that is going on here.
I've made that point myself, many times. If you want to know what it was like to live in Germany during the holocaust, just look around.
What part of the heinous 'partial birth abortion' process don't you understand?
It means that babies, viable for life, at the last stages, are allowed to be 'partially' born, then their heads are punchered, their brains sucked out = resulting in death.
Occasionally, a baby makes it all the way out before being murdered and is alive and kicking - at which time they are set aside and left to die...or otherwise disposed of.
We reel at the thought that any human could stab to death a newborn - but take into account that these are people who have been participating in the in-human infanticide all along - they are used to looking upon these little ones as nothing but something that must not be allowed to live. Not much of a difference from punchering a tiny skull to tiny ribs...
This case may or may not be true. The investigation will probably not go anywhere. Kansas law enforcement has as much as said that there is nothing they can or will do to stop this guy from doing late term abortions. People fly in from around the country to terminate pregnancies when their local abortionists refuse because of a sliver of morality.
Personally, I would like for all abortions to be banned. But for the life of me I cannot understand why pro-life and pro-abortion people cannot agree on a ban on late term abortions. Ignoring the morality, it is logical nonsense to, in one case, spend enormous resources to save the life of a baby born prematurely at 24 weeks and then allow a mother to abort her baby at 28 weeks. Their should be a huge frontier of time between those two events.
Can’t civilized people agree that if the mother can’t make up her mind to terminate in the first 13 weeks, the state should close the door. As a pro-life person, I will always support a ban on all abortions. But can’t we do something now to save those babies who may be viable outside of their mother’s womb?
Abortion is nothing less than satanic-inspired evil, and those who perform it are the devil’s henchmen.
