Abortion Is Murder

Also I thought this was interesting article:

“Saline abortions may be given after the 16th week and must be given after the 20th week. A large needle is inserted through the abdominal wall of the mother and into the baby's amniotic sac. A very concentrated salt solution is then injected into the amniotic fluid. The baby breathes this in through his mouth and nose. It enters his stomach. He begins struggling and convulsing. The salt burns the skin all over his body so badly that it becomes an ugly red. His nostrils, mouth, throat and gastrointestinal tract are burned by the salt. All this terrible suffering lasts a full hour. If not successful in killing the infant, another injection of salt is given. If successful—the baby is expelled as a still birth. The mother goes into labor about a day later and delivers a beet-red baby that was scalded to death by salt. Any nurse who works in an aborting hospital can tell you of a significant number of these babies that were born alive. Then the doctor has a problem what to do with them. He may choose to strangle them to death, but most of the time they are thrown into a nearby pail and kindly permitted to cry themselves to death. The suffering they have endured throughout the experience is terrific. The salt had not killed them, but neglect in the pail soon does. There are records of infants who have survived saline abortions and spent the first weeks of their life outside the womb in intensive care. But by a ruling of the Supreme Court in 1979 (Colatti v. Franklin), the child can be killed by the abortionist even though born alive following an attempted abortion. The mother cannot sue him for killing the little fellow after it is born. Any woman that gives an abortionist the legal right to take the life of her unborn son or daughter, is doing a very unwise thing. The corrosive effect of the concentrated salt, often burns and strips away the entire outer layer of the baby's skin. This exposes the raw, red, glazed-appearing, subcutaneous layer. The baby's head sometimes looks like a "candied apple." The actual cause of the salt poisoning death is known medically as acute hypernatremia (acute salt poisoning), with development of widespread vasodilatation, edema, congestion, hemorrhage, shock and death. (Galen, et al, "Fetal Pathology and Mechanism of Death in Saline Abortion," in American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 120:347-355, 1974.) There is no abortion method widely practiced today which is not extremely cruel to the unborn infant. In the famous Waddel case in California in 1978, a survivor of salt poisoning, a nearly full term baby girl, was, according to the Coroner's report, killed by manual strangulation. But normally such incidents are not reported and so do not lead to court action. Here is a story from a West Coast newspaper: In California, a four pound baby was born alive after a salt injection. As reported, the doctor ordered the nurse not to use oxygen to save the baby's life. She replied that if she did not, the baby would die. The doctor replied, "Wasn't that the idea?" —She gave oxygen anyway [and was probably fired for doing it] —The baby lived and has been adopted.
