So Much For The "Informed Consent" Lie

Woman sues abortionist for making her witness the "murder" of her accidentally delivered child. (Link)

"The baby writhed and gasped for air, still connected to [Sycloria] Williams by

the umbilical cord. Immobilized by shock, Williams watched [abortion clinic

owner Belkis] Gonzalez run into the room, cut the umbilical cord with a pair of

orange-handled shears, stuff the baby and afterbirth into a red biohazard bag

and throw the bag into a garbage can"

Can someone please tell me how a mother who went to an abortion clinic to seek the death of her unborn child can recover damages for witnessing that death? I understand that her premeditated plan didn't work out exactly the way she envisioned it, but she still got what she paid for. The only thing the clinic forgot to do was set up a statue of Ba'al to consecrate the ritual. Honestly though, what's the difference in the end? Either way, it's a life snuffed out deliberately. I mean, this story would have been just as sad even if the abortion HADN'T been 'botched.'

To claim damages, is to admit that you didn't understand what you were doing when you sought the abortion. If women are to have a right to choose to have an abortion (as the law says) then isn't it crucial that she understand what she is doing. If she did not know, then it undermines the whole basis for the right to choose to have an abortion. Choices imply competent understanding.....or at least they should.

The way I see it, there are two kinds of women who get abortions: those who are deceived (or deceiving themselves) about the reality of the murder in which they are collaborating, and those inhuman enough not to care. I would like to believe that a majority of women are the former, but it seems almost impossible that they aren't aware of what an abortion is. For example, I don't think there's one person in the world who doesn't know that smoking is harmful. Yet people still smoke and then blame tobacco companies when they find out how unglamourous dieing of lung cancer really is. For this woman, the experience brought her face to face with the brutality of her act, and instead of blaming herself, she blames the abortionist. I guess it makes the guilt easier to live with. In reality, the "harm" was actually self-inflicted. If anyone is going to be sued, it ought to be the planned parenthood "advisor" who obviously didn't explain to this woman what was gonna happen once she put her feet in those stirrups.

The only silver lining in this case is the fact that the left wasn't able hide it.  Although it is justifiably disturbing to read about stuff like this; at the very least, it forces the public to confront the slippery slope that Roe v Wade has lead us to. It's stories like this that send the liberal left into damage control mode, because it exposes the weakness in their arguments. First they try to dehumanize unborn children, as if a fetus magical transforms into a human as it passes down the birth canal. To them, the difference between a life and a collection of cells all depends on what side of the cervix it resides. When that lie is exposed, they resort to misdirection. It becomes, "pay no attention to that wriggling, gasping baby behind the curtain". They thinly veil abortion as some sort of vague female empowerment issue, and for some reason it seems to work.

Which brings me to the Infant Born Alive Act. You know, the bill President Obama voted against as a state senator in Illinois. A bill that he deemed to be an undue burden on a woman in crisis. A bill of which he called partisan and unnecessary; a law that would have put this baby killing doctor in prison where he belongs. I guess criminalizing infanticide is not nearly as important to Obama as wasting money promoting abortion abroad. All the while he pals around with Rick Warren playing coy to the fact that his position on abortion is as extreme as is gets. 

Tragically, all the main characters in this story are black hats, except the true victim...baby Shanice (Yes, she had a name). A baby who's life might very well have been saved if her mother would have been shown a video of an abortion procedure or at least given a fetal stage development booklet. That didn't happen because the left blocks any attempt to inform women on what's really going on inside their womb. Groups like Planned Parenthood convince these women that they are better off not knowing the truth. Eventually that woman's cruel ignorance naturally transforms into overwhelming guilt, and suddenly the idea of submitting to a simple pre-abortion ultrasound doesn't seem so emotionally harmful after all.
