Prendergaft associate Randall Whitney reportedly testified that babies are born alive all the time after failed abortions and are then left to die.

ORLANDO, Florida, July 26, 2011 (LifeSiteNews.com) – In disturbing testimony during court proceedings against a well-known Florida abortionist, a fellow abortionist reportedly admitted that some aborted children are delivered alive and left “wiggling around in the toilet,” where they are allowed to die.
The testimony occurred during proceedings against abortionist James Pendergraft, who was forced to pay over $36 million last week for a botched procedure that left its intended target alive, but severely disabled.
Pendergraft, who was convicted of felony extortion in 2001, was told by an Orlando County jury to pay $18 million in the civil suit itself and another $18 million in punitive damages, totaling over $36 million.
Michele Herzog of Pro-Life Action Ministries, a witness in the courtroom, said that jurors listened as abortionist Randall Whitney, one of Pendergrast’s accomplices, “cavalierly stated that yes, babies are delivered in the toilet all the time and many times are still alive, wiggling around in the toilet.”
“I would say it was eye-opening, but we all know what really goes on in these abortion mills. But to hear the abortionist so coldly explain how they kill the children is so hard to hear and so unbelievable to think that it is allowed in our great nation,” Herzog said.
The civil suit was launched by Pendergrast’s former patient, Carol Howard, whose infant barely survived a 2004 medical abortion at his facility. The girl, now ten years old, suffers from a host of disabilities in connection with the attempted killing, including cerebral palsy, loss of function on the left side of her body, strokes, mental disability, chronic lung disease, and seizures.
The jury last week awarded Pendergraft to pay Howard $18,255,000 in damages, as well as $462,000 in court costs, according to reports. The next day, the jury awarded Howard punitive damages of over $18 million, bringing the total to $36,766,000.
“[Pendergraft] has an abortion dynasty around the state of Florida. He only cares about money, and I say hit him where it hurts!” said Howard’s attorney during closing arguments to the jury, according to Herzog.
Although Pendergraft was still in jail for extortion in Marian County at the time, Howard said she was drawn to one of his five abortion clinics because the facility’s website touted his credentials as a board certified OB/GYN. When she got there, she was given RU-486 by a medical assistant to abort her pregnancy at over 22 weeks.
Herzog reports that, according to Howard’s attorney, Howard was given fifty times the standard dosage of Cyotec, a brand name for the labor-inducing drug misoprostol. When Howard began undergoing violent contractions and asked for pain medication, she was told by medical assistants to walk her labor off outside in the parking lot, or else leave, according to the pro-life group. Meanwhile, there were reportedly no doctors or nurses present.
Howard wound up going home, but called 911 and managed to give birth to her baby at a hospital.
Guys like this should be slowly drowned in a
septic tank.
God does not intervene because He gave us the gift of "free will". It's just that simple. Were He to intervene each time an evil act is committed, then there would be no need for paradise. It would be here.
My wife is pregnant. Our baby is 16 weeks old tomorrow. The very thought of this....makes my screen a little blurry.
Let it never be forgotten that the current occupant of the Oval Office argued not only to allow these procedures, but to let the wretched creatures who survive them (”wiggling around in the toilet”) be abandoned to death.
bttt
Anyone that works at these places is sub-human.
‘Out of sight, out of mind”
Out of WOMB, NEVER out of mind...
These killers will never forget what they have done to their innocent child and this is precisely why they continue to vote for liberals, because their mind is so full of guilt.
The poor, innocent babies in our world, this is a Holocaust of the worst kind.
Oh, and she has NO blame?? She expected to walk out of there, baby free, and wound up with a handicapped child in which she now has to take care of?? And SHE'S pissed off?
Will this child know her mother tried to KILL HER before "saving her"??

That evil F#@k!!
Next time any of you get in an argument with a “pro-choice” person, ask them about their opinion of this graphic description of “wiggling in the toilet”

Depends on the sin. Child sacrifice is an abomination.
2 Kings 24:3 & 4
Surely at the command of the LORD it came upon Judah, to remove them from His sight because of the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he had done, and also for the innocent blood which he shed, for he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood; and the LORD would not forgive.
In ways, I think issues like this will be looked at as slavery many years later. Wasn’t a huge deal at the time (to some), but a travesty in retrospect.

What a gruesome, evil industry. More barbaric than anything from the middle ages. Goes on under our noses all the time, sanctioned by a major political party, dressed up as freedom and choice, pushed as acceptable birth control by the elites! What a black, bleak, dark, ominous cloud this must be bringing to our nation.
2 Timothy 3:2
For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, 4treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; Avoid such men as these. 6For among them are those who enter into households and captivate weak women weighed down with sins, led on by various impulses, 7always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. 8Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these men also oppose the truth, men of depraved mind, rejected in regard to the faith. 9But they will not make further progress; for their folly will be obvious to all, just as Jannes’s and Jambres’s folly was also.

Read the first sentence. This alone should cause retribution.
I’m with you regarding holding the woman who choose to have abortions accountable. They can try and appeal to all sorts of extenuating circumstances, but morally, they are just as bad to me as the ones who kill their children after they are born, or throw them in a dumpster to die.
Unfortunately, most women who have had abortions don’t advertise the fact, so it’s hard to know if you are talking to a murderer or an innocent women who would never do that. How many women, if you asked them outright, would admit to it, and how many would lie out of shame?
If we can’t get abortion outlawed, I’d at least like a law that requires women to get some distinct tatoo mark every time they get one. Then, when I meet a woman, I can look at the back of her neck, and see how many innocent lives she has slaughtered. Heck, the liberals think there is nothing wrong with abortion, so they should have no problem with a “Scarlet Letter” type law for this, right?
The only thing in my mind more repulsive than this vision is a picture of the Cretin-in-Chief making the normal Obamahole of himself.
