Disturbing post--warning
From LifeSiteNews.com, linked in my sidebar and shown as a news ticker at the bottom of this page, comes this incredibly disturbing story. In other pro-life news, Sharon Osbourne has said that her own abortion was the worst thing she ever did.
ORLANDO, FL, April 25, 2005 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Angele, a single mother in her thirties with two children, thought that abortion was the answer to her circumstances. At almost 23 weeks gestation, she entered the EPOC Clinic in Orlando, Florida. Little did she realize that the next day she would give birth to a live, perfectly healthy boy whom she named Rowan. Cradling Rowan's moving body, her screams for help were ignored by abortion clinic workers while her son took his last breath. The clinic is known for late-term abortions and its well-known founder, Dr. James Pendergraft. A few years ago he served time in a federal prison regarding an alleged scheme to extort the city of Ocala, Florida by means of his other abortion clinic in that city.

PERTH, April 25, 2005 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The legal ramifications of abortion are reaching levels of absurdity that are becoming difficult to parody. With the advent of the bizarre notion of 'wrongful life' lawsuits has come the answer to the pro-lifers' rhetorical question, "What do you do if a hospital fails to kill your child?" In the case of Stacy Dow, a 20-year-old Scottish woman who gave birth to a healthy girl after trying to abort her and her twin, the answer is, 'sue.' Dow is suing Tayside University Hospitals NHS Trust for 250,000 pounds because they failed to kill both of her unborn children.
Dow said she discovered she was pregnant with twins and, because she wanted to carry on with plans for nursing school, she went to the Perth Royal Infirmary for an abortion at six weeks gestation. The hospital tried to abort the children and told her it had been 'successful.' Later when Dow began to put on weight, she visited a doctor. "After 33 weeks I went to the GP and he told me I was pregnant. I thought he meant I had fallen pregnant again, and I couldn't believe it when I was told that it was one of the original pregnancies."
The surviving twin was born healthy and is now three years old. Dow is claiming, with perfect adherence to the abortion logic, that since her intention was to kill both children and the hospital failed to complete the operation, that Dow is now owed support for the surviving child.
