Yes, I looked at the pictures and saw many of them just like it. As far as I'm concerned they could pull the fetus out, knock it in the head, cut the chord and put it in the garbage can. Once they let it start breathing, it becomes a person and if killed, put the killer in the electric chair and turn the juice on.
Late-Term Babies Born Alive after Abortions Are Left to Die in Canadian Hospitals
By Liz Townsend
Several Canadian hospitals routinely abort late-term unborn babies or leave them to die if they are born alive during the procedure, according to press reports. The discovery of this practice has led to a firestorm of controversy across the country.
Articles about the babies' deaths in one Alberta hospital has led to reports of similar late-term abortions and subsequent live births in another Alberta hospital and in British Columbia. There are no national laws in Canada protecting unborn babies from abortion at any stage, but it is illegal to cause a baby's death during labor or after birth, according to Alberta Report. Police in Calgary, Alberta, have launched an investigation to determine if laws were broken there, the Toronto Globe and Mail reported.
These late-term abortions are usually performed by artificially inducing labor with drugs, which cause the baby to be expelled whole from the uterus. Most of the time, the babies die before being delivered, but not always.
In British Columbia, at least 16 babies have survived late-term abortions since 1995, all dying within six hours after birth, according to figures released by the province's chief coroner. Most of these occurred at B.C. Women's Hospital in Vancouver, the B.C. Catholic reported.
Again, officials claimed the abortions were all done for "genetic reasons," according to the Catholic. Chief Coroner Larry Campbell said his office would not conduct investigations into the deaths, insisting he could only "investigate death if unexpected," the Catholic reported.
Edmonton, Alberta's Royal Alexandra Hospital also performs such late-term abortions. According to the Edmonton Journal, hospital communications manager Donna Angus "did not know how many late-stage abortions are done but she did confirm some aborted fetuses live for short periods after birth is induced."
The most detailed information about these late-term abortions came from nurses in Calgary's Alberta Foothills Hospital, who were forced to assist in the abortions and to stand idly by while the newborn babies slowly perished without medical treatment. The nurses told their story to journalist Marnie Ko of Alberta Report under a promise of anonymity to protect their jobs.
One nurse, referred to as "Catherine," told of a baby who survived an abortion last August, five weeks before the mother's due date. "The mother didn't want the baby, so we took turns rocking and holding it for 12 hours until it finally died," she said, according to Alberta Report. "Nurses were only allowed to comfort the suffering infant, but this did not even include feedings."
Nurse "Sanders" told of an 18-week-old unborn baby diagnosed with "a chromosomal problem" who was born alive after an abortion earlier this year. "While the mother cried, the baby was trying to breathe, slowly taking in air, struggling for each breath," she told Alberta Report. "She suffered for 30 minutes."
The nurses said that in March the hospital placed women receiving late-term abortions in the same ward as new mothers, ordering the nurses who previously cared for mothers and newborn babies to also assist in abortions, according to Alberta Report. Although Norma Kirkham, senior operating officer of Alberta Foothills Hospital, told Ko that "every effort is made to allow nurses to get out of [abortions]," the nurses disagreed.
