Fetus found in gift box, couple charged

A south Texas couple put an aborted 7-month-old fetus in a gift box under a Christmas tree after they were unable to flush the remains down a toilet, authorities allege.

Ruby Lee Medina, 31, and Javier Gonzalez, 37, of Mission, were charged on Monday with abuse of a corpse and tampering with evidence. Their bonds were set at $US20,000 ($A21,820) each.

San Juan Police Chief Juan Gonzalez said police found the fetus inside the woman's trailer home on Thursday after getting an anonymous tip.

Autopsy results are pending but Gonzalez said police believe the woman used pills to induce an abortion on Thursday, then called an ambulance after she began bleeding and told doctors she didn't know where the fetus was.

The police chief said the couple tried to flush the fetus down the toilet but that didn't work.

"Apparently they cleaned up the fetus and they placed it inside a gift box under the Christmas tree," the police chief said.

eight or nine weeks early nowadays is nothing.

24 weeks is the magic number for babies surviving in a NICU.

My little one was 12 weeks early. He was smaller and younger than the one these beasts killed.

One reason why legalized abortion is so destructive to the community. It runs counter to and contradicts vast areas of otherwise sensible law. It tears a horrid gap in nature as well as the law.

Saint Nicholas is one of the oldest Christian traditions—a bishop in what is now Turkey in the 300s who attended the Council of Nicea

Where he proceeded to cold cock a heretic. No sled, no rooftops, no reindeer, no chimneys. Just a powerful right fist for those who would pervert the Gospel.
