Murder Charges after Baby Survives Abortion

Florida Republicans Call for Murder Charges after Baby Survives Abortion
 
Several members of the Florida House Republican Caucus are calling on the Miami-Dade County State Attorney's Office to hold the appropriate individuals accountable for the death of Shanice Williams, who survived an abortion and was put in a trash bag to die.

"Administrative action against the physician by the Department of Health is not enough," said House Majority Leader Adam Hasner, R-Delray Beach. "Anything less than murder charges being filed is unacceptable."

Sycloria Williams, then 18, went into a Florida abortion clinic to abort her 23-week-old preborn baby, but instead she gave birth to a living, breathing girl. A staffer placed the baby in a trash bag to die, according to news reports.

The Florida Board of Medicine has found Dr. Pierre Jean-Jacque Renelique guilty of medical malpractice and revoked his medical license. Renelique was scheduled to perform the abortion but didn't arrive in time.
