What Happens to a Child Born-alive? The Media Won’t Tell Us.
Townhall.com ^ | May 11, 2019 | Patrina Mosely

President Trump is taking heat for comments he made at a Wisconsin rally where he described what happens to a child after she is born alive following a failed abortion, saying, “The baby is born. The mother meets with the doctor, they take care of the baby, they wrap the baby beautifully, and then the doctor and the mother determine whether or not they will execute the baby. I don't think so. It's incredible.” 

The mainstream media are “fact-checking” Trump’s statement as if it is incorrect.

But the abortion industry and the media have tiptoed around the basic question. So, I simply pose the question back to them: what happens to a baby when she survives an abortion attempt? Is she given medical care as any other patient would receive, or is she left to die?

Trump’s statement was only recalling what Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam said: “I can tell you exactly what happens: If a mother is in labor…the infant would be delivered. The infant would be kept comfortable. The infant would be resuscitated if that’s what the mother and the family desired, and then a discussion would ensue between the physicians and mother.”

So, according to Gov. Northam, whether a newborn gets the chance to live or not is a matter for “discussion.” Precious moments slip by as the infant is fighting for her life on the delivery table, but the mother and doctor are discussing whether or not she should live? At this point we are no longer talking about abortion or a woman’s body. We are talking about a child who has clearly become the patient.

What happens when the mother and doctor decide not to let the infant live? Do they withhold care and let the infant die on its own or do they kill the infant? And how? The media claims Trump’s comment is incorrect, but no one in the abortion industry will answer the question.

Here’s what we do know: in the Kermit Gosnell trial (which received very little media attention), eye-witnesses testified that babies were moving and breathing before their spinal cords were cut; others were flushed in toilets or were thrown in the garbage with a shoebox for a coffin--while still alive inside!

The fact is, babies can survive abortion attempts.

The CDC tells us that, between 2003-2014, at least 143 infants died after being born alive during an abortion procedure, and the report even admits that this number is underestimated.

That’s an average of one infant a month! According to the report, some of these infants hung on to life for more than 24 hours after the induced abortion before they died!

Unfortunately, this report does not explain how these infants died. The mainstream media is insistent that President Trump’s characterization is incorrect, so I repeat: what happens when a mother and doctor decide the child should not live?

There is little if any required reporting on infants born alive after a failed abortion (only six states), and there are no federal abortion reporting requirements, which means there are probably more horrors untold.

The information we do have comes only due to the courage of eyewitnesses who have blown the whistle on infanticide happening right before their eyes. And it is due to the compassion of those who could not bear to watch a child struggle for life and so stepped in to save people like Melissa Oden and Gianna Jessen.

Our failure to protect these newborns is why Congress needs to pass the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, which would add enforcement mechanisms to prosecute doctors who deny life-saving medical care to infants who survive abortion - putting an end to birth day abortions

When a child comes into this world, wanted or unwanted, they should be met with a warm hat typically given by hospitals to newborns and like the ones in our End Birth Day Abortions campaign. Afterwards they can be adopted into a loving home by those who desire children. There is no need to kill the unwanted child just because moments prior they were destined for death.

When babies survive abortion, they will be either intentionally kept alive or intentionally put to death. There’s no in-between. If Trump’s comments are untrue, as the media claims, then they should tell us what actually happens to a child that is born alive, if the mother and doctor decide she should not receive care. The country deserves to know an answer to this

Option 2 is murder in the first degree and deserves the death penalty for all participants, mother, doctor and nurses{those three terms are used loosely}.

There is no dispute in the terms of birth, the baby is a human being and US citizen, deserving of the protections of all of our laws.

The woman and her doctor have a discussion. What’s so sinister about that?

They’re probably, like, “Nice weather we’re having” or “How about them Yankees”.

Video games and movies with lots of violence and blood!

Reminds me of the Aztec skull walls.....
Our society has a modern death cult.
Why should killing babies out of the womb surprise us?

I am unfamiliar with this term.

What is this “fa-ther” thing of which you speak?

Trump broke the taboo against saying the truth in public. Can man-hating fangtooth feminazis hate him more?

I can't understand why they call facilitators doctors instead of what they are: serial killers or mass murderers?

Which medical schools teach abortion or concentrate on that specialty?

According to Alex Jones, the baby is treated like any organ donor and harvested. Supposedly around $50,000 worth of organs and tissue come from each one. And this governor in North Carolina who said it happens to be eye doctor in that field. Make no mistake, those Planned Parenthood videos exposed it. It’s a money business. They make a huge profit with every baby they killed, and the most prized of all are fully formed and deliver babies.

I guarantee the killed baby who survived an abortion attempt is not turned over to the family for a funeral. I think Alex is probably on to something.

(Engaging maximum sarcasm field)

Well, since they are constantly telling us the father has no moral or legal say so as to whether or not the baby is murdered, I'd say he's completely off the hook.

(Sarcasm field overload.
Sarcasm field shutdown)

When he was a state senator in Illinois, didn’t Barrack Obama oppose a bill that would have protected babies that survived a botched abortion? He took a highly visible and vocal position against the legislation. This is but one of the skeletons in his closet. There are so many. Oh the power the media wields when they choose to ignore the negatives as they create a false image of their chosen benefactor.

Of course, with Trump they ignore the positives and manufacture negatives to try to destroy him. Thank God for President Donald John Trump. He rightly and courageously calls them FAKE NEWS.

I can answer that question. The baby killers want the child to suffer as much as possible so they’ll opt to let it die on it’s own, ghouls that they are.

I knew a RN, in Missisaugua, Canada who QUIT her hospital job because she attended an abortion in which a baby was born alive. She was told, by the doctor, to leave the baby on the metal table, unattended, to die because the mother didn't want it. She wanted the baby dead and that's what they were to assure.She could do nothing, and it horrified her.
This was over 10 years ago in Canada. I can't imagine what is done in this country now.
Nothing short of inhuman murder.

I’ve known several former abortion clinic workers who quit when they realized what they were involved in.

WHAT IF immunity were granted to these former workers, in exchange for their televised testimony before a federal commission?

Until now, these workers haven’t come forward, fearing prosecution. But if thousands did, they could shut down Planned Parenthood.

We were told women would no longer die, & the back-alley abortionist would be put out of business. These were lies.

I’ve heard some clinics have secret, under-the-table deals with crematoria for the disposal of the bodies of women who die from botched abortions.

Fetal remains are typically incinerated, dumped in garbage, pushed into sink disposals, or cut up & sold.

The “safe, legal” clinics continued to send women to back-alley abortionists for late-term (up to due date) abortions, even since Roe v. Wade was first passed,when abortions were legally restricted to first trimester.

These ex-employees could blow the lid off the everyday business practices of the abortion industry.
