"Aborted" Baby Almost Cremated Alive!

We see it time and time again. A baby survives an abortion attempt, and then is left for dead.

As an Illinois State Senator, Barack Obama actively defended this practice.

But sometimes it gets even worse. We recently reported on a baby who survived 22 hours of such postpartum neglect, only to be found by priest who had gone to pray over the body.

Now from China, we have this story of a baby who not only survived the abortion, and the ensuing neglect, but who was disposed of as medical waste and nearly cremated alive (Hat-tip to Hawaii Right to Life):

AN aborted baby declared dead by doctors in south China's Guangdong Province cried before he was due to be cremated, but died hours later as doctors refused to treat him.

A mortuary worker at Nanhai Funeral Home in Foshan City said the baby cried and scared him as he was about to throw the coffin into a furnace, Information Times reported today.

He opened the box and found the seven-month fetus moving, but apparently choking on some cotton wool in his mouth, the report said.

After the worker cleared his mouth, the baby yawned and breathed peacefully. Workers rushed him back to Guanyao Hospital which delivered the baby as medical waste earlier that day.

But doctors left him in the lobby, and confirmed after an hour that the baby died. [Emphasis added.]

As tragic as this story is, there's a lesson to be learned here, that should be obvious to anyone who ever watched a crime drama on American television: when someone escapes alive from murderers intent on killing him, it is neither helpful nor humane to return that person to the murderers who tried to kill him in the first place.

Remember, there's nothing magic about location. The baby is here, the baby is there, the abortionist doesn't care. Once the decision is made to kill, the baby is not safe anywhere, neither in the womb, nor out of it.
