An artist's rendering of the unborn child at 32-weeks gestation.
MELBOURNE, Australia, November 23, 2011 (LifeSiteNews.com) – A 32-week set of twins were both aborted after staff at an Australian hospital initially killed the healthy twin by accident, and then also aborted the sick sibling after realizing their mistake, reports the Herald Sun.
The paper reports that the mother of the children was told that one of her twin children had a congenital heart defect that would require years of surgery, and that the child may not survive.
After she decided to have the child aborted, doctors then gave the wrong child the lethal injection.
When hospital staff realized the mistake, the woman reportedly underwent an emergency c-section, and the sick child was also aborted.
A friend of the woman told the Sun: “She went to the hospital with two babies and now she has none.”
“And she had the heartache of giving birth to her sick baby. She’s traumatised.”
A hospital spokeswoman said: “The Royal Women’s Hospital can confirm a distressing clinical accident occurred (on Tuesday).
“This is a terrible tragedy and the hospital is deeply sorry for the loss suffered by the patient and her family.”
Figured, that's why I asked the question.
With socialized medicine, this is completely normal, and should be the expected outcome.
God bless you and your family.
What I mean is that SHE believed she was making her own and the surviving child’s situation better, but ironically through her free will choice found herself having made made the situation worse for all concerned.
That is just wonderful!!! You did the right thing, and you were rewarded!!
My daughter who is writing the essay has a brain injury. I’ve told her how the doctors are surprised that she can walk. She has enough of a brain injury that she should be in a wheelchair. However, she is an A student at a top private Christian school. She can walk, run, ride a bike, and is about to start driving. She has speech problems, but she sounds like English is her 2nd language (and that is common for so many people these days). She’s not the most coordinated kid, and she has had seizures.
Her best qualities are that she is very, very sweet, and she is an extremely hard worker.
Doctor’s just don’t know everything. I’m so happy about your son!!
God has obviously smiled on you, too! Congratulations on raising a bright, focused, and faithful child.
Wishing you and your family a wonderful Thanksgiving and a blessed Christmas.
>> A 32-week
That’s over 7 months.
Double homicide.
God bless you, Happy Thanksgiving.
Wishing you a very Happy Thanksgiving.
Wishing you a very Happy Thanksgiving.
God bless you, your husband, and your entire family 1,000 times.
Wishing you a very happy Thanksgiving!
