That isn't even the complete quote!

Here it is... (I posted above this one, the complete story from WND)...

''The mother of the ward did not want her daughter to be subjected to any more of an invasive procedure than was absolutely necessary to terminate the pregnancy and for a tubal ligation,'' Rothenberg said in a statement explaining his final decision. "She objected strongly to a C-section, which would have been required to attempt a live birth. This, taken together with the greater weight of medical opinion that the fetus was subject to an extremely high risk of morbidity, foreclosed brief reconsideration of alternatives.''

It is clear that, in this case, the judge and the mother of the unfortunate woman in question were both interested in nothing other than a dead baby.

Pro-abortionists can squawk all they want about choice. In this case, there was nothing but hysterical conjecture about what "may" have happened. Doctor after doctor declared that the baby was not actively threatening the life of the mother. All we have absolute clarity on is that the baby was exterminated and then dismembered--a procedure that was no less threatening to the biological mother than a live birth would have been.

This "grandmother", the judge, the medical personnel who carried out the search-and-destroy mission will all have to face in this life and what comes after the consequence of their decision to kill this child. They have put to death a person who may have been a source of great blessing--but we will never know.

No one gets out free from this, least of all the community at large. What kind of people have we become when we are not reduced to tears at this awful situation?

And what in the name of all that is holy is happening in the state of Florida? It seems that every other day we are hearing something horrid coming from there.
