With settlements like that it should be no surprise that abortionists usually skrag their paying customers if it looks like they’ve botched something.

Kill your baby and make 1.9 million.

Sarah Palin, are you listening? Here is the perfect tack to take on the issue of abortion.

Threatening to overturn Roe v. Wade scares too many people. Unfortunately, using moral arguments hasn’t worked either.

But stressing the very real dangers and risks to women and girls with these procedures will have a much greater effect. The above case, links to breast cancer, traumatic emotional and psychological issues, etc., all will be effective pro-life arguments.

There is a certain segment of women who cannot seem to elicit any sympathy for the baby. Neither are they able to generate any concern about abortion being a sin. By the time they reach the abortion clinic, they have already spiritually aborted their child. Perhaps our only hope of changing their minds is if they fear for their own safety and well-being. That message must reach them long before they make that appointment at the clinic. Bring up any statistics about the link between breast cancer and abortion and you will stir up a hornet's nest among the pro-aborts. That alone should tell us what they don't want people to know.

I’ve read the whole article and nowhere does it say what happened to the baby. He/she died, didn’t he/she? It seems to me that the baby suffered a far worse fate than the mother. The mother didn’t want the baby and now she will never have to face that decision again — she lost her uterus. Karma?

At least the mother can talk about her ordeal. The baby will never be able to tell his/her side of the story.

Good for her. The abortuary should be soaked for $1.9 million. Now, in a just world, the woman should be sent to prison for murder.

But the Feminazis told us that botched abortions would end when they were legal.

They fight the very thought of parental notification when their minor daughters seek this invasive medical procedure.

... the botched abortion caused so many medical complications that Newark Beth Israel Medical Center filed a complaint with state officials.

The Department of Health and Senior Services investigated the abortion facility and found dirty forceps, rusty crochet hooks used to remove IUDs, and a quarter-inch of dirt and debris under an examining table.

In ordering the abortion business to close, the Department said the abortion facility had poor infection control, and did not properly sterilize instruments and equipment.

Health inspectors said the violations at the abortion business pose "immediate and serious risk of harm to patients."

It was only the second time state health officials ordered one of the state's 650 ambulatory health centers closed.

...It was also closed down in 1993 for health and safety issues.

However, it later reopened:

MMA has reopened and advertises its abortions prominently on the Internet.

Well the murderer lived, won a few million bucks. But two positive points.
1. No more abortions for her after a hysterectomy.
2. GOD will take care of the rest. You can’t buy your way outta hell!

Not a heartwarming story. But I guess it’s good they lost a little money.
