Antiabortion group releases videos of clinic workers discussing [how they kill] live births
Washington Post ^ | April 28, 2013 | Sandhya Somashekhar and Lena H. Sun

An antiabortion group that mounted a six-month undercover investigation has released videos this week that raise questions about what might happen to a baby as a result of an unsuccessful abortion.

One video features a D.C. doctor, Cesare Santangelo, who said that in the unlikely event that an abortion resulted in a live birth, “we would not help it.” Santangelo was answering repeated questions from an undercover operative about what would happen, hypothetically, if she gave birth after an unsuccessful abortion.

“I mean, technically, you know, legally, we would be obligated to help it, you know, to survive, but . . . it probably wouldn’t,” Santangelo is shown telling the woman, who was 24 weeks pregnant. “It’s all in how vigorously you do things to help a fetus survive at this point.”

Live Action president Lila Rose said the group’s videos expose “truly gruesome, illegal and inhuman practices.” She defended the tactics, saying undercover investigations are a powerful method to expose abuses.

Live Action plans to release more videos as part of a campaign targeting clinics that perform abortions late in pregnancy, also known as “late-term” abortions. It claims that the videos show that abortion doctors are willing to kill babies in violation of the federal Born-Alive Infants Protection Act of 2002, which requires them to try to save a child born during a failed abortion using the same measures used in miscarriages or preterm births at the same stage of pregnancy.

Another video released Sunday shows an unidentified worker in the Bronx saying the clinic would put the baby in a jar of “solution” that would cause it to stop breathing.

Let the abortionists put their money where their mouth is. If all a fetus is is a growth in a female uterus accidentally caused by sex, will they eat one?

Political correctness is a form of the Antichrist, as told to me by an intelligent priest in good standing with the Catholic Church.


Political Coreectness was the invention of Joseph Stalin. Your friend the priest was right on.

This is truly bizarro world, where nothing is as it seems and those who non violently support life are terrorists.
It seems “Eurasia has always been at war...with the unborn.” (now)

Why are we talking about trivia like dead babies? The real news today is that a pro basketball came out of the closet.

I’m glad this wacko is speaking up. She is living proof that crazy jihadists exist. She is proof that Muslim terrorists are a threat. People like her are willing to blow up little children in the street. Her wild-eyed radicalism is evident to the whole world. Her sons have her genes and parenting and became mass murderers.

Those who oppose the death penalty are demanding the guilty be allowed to live.

Those who favor abortion "rights" are demanding the innocent be executed.

"How terrible it will be for those who call evil good and good evil, who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness, who substitute what is bitter for what is sweet and what is sweet for what is bitter!" (Isaiah 5:20)

if man must continue to murder—and he must—then let it be in the back alley. evil will always be with us, but it is good to force evil into hiding at every turn. that is the best and most pure function of our delegated soverign authority. if that is not the purpose of government, then there is no point in having government at all.

It’s sickening .
They call what is wrong right and what is right wrong.
As a nation we have murdered what almost amounts to 20% of population since they made abortion legal , yet we let murders live .

We have elected a man to the highest office in the land who as a senator chose to pretty much abstain from every vote yet he voted against protecting babies that survived an attempted abortion .

This blood will be required of this nation .

I too am Catholic but you know i think all that matters is we’re all human beings. That’s it. Pretty inclusive club. Among this group of humans some seem to believe it’s wrong to take the life of one who has taken the life of another but can convince themselves it’s just fine to snuff out the life of one without sin.
Incredibly disgusting philosophy. Maybe they sleep at night knowing the newborn can’t articulate its will to live? Maybe its the thought that if the mother doesn’t want it then there’s no reason to care?
I have no idea how these people salve their supposed conscience. I cannot understand how they can reconcile two contrary stances for the exact same act.
