A pro-abortion doctor is insisting there are strict protocols in place to avoid the awkward problem of having "to deal with a live, aborted infant."
In a letter printed in Tuesday’s National Post, Dr. Christiane Dauphinais seems to be trying to quell public concern after the mainstream media reported on StatsCan data suggesting hundreds of babies were left to die after being born alive following failed abortions between 2000 and 2009. But something tells me this isn’t going to help her cause.
The doctor writes:
“When performing an abortion on a woman who is 21 weeks pregnant or more, in addition and prior to following general procedures, we are instructed to inject digoxin or potassium chloride into the fetus or the amniotic sac. This effectively kills the fetus, thereby avoiding having to deal with a live, aborted infant."
The instruction, she says, comes from a document she received this week by the Quebec College of Physicians.
After three MPs called for a homicide investigation into the death of these 491 children last week, Canada’s abortion lobby rushed to pass it off as a rehashing of the abortion debate rather than a concern over babies who were born alive and already protected under the Criminal Code.
But the abortion advocates also recognized that the story posed a danger because it highlighted the reality of late-term abortion in Canada. Though it’s legal to give a lethal injection to a child in the womb who’s capable of surviving on his own, most Canadians have little idea this is going on and would be horrified to learn that many hundreds or more babies are killed this way every year.
The fact is that the vast majority of people are disgusted by abortion, even if they think it should be legal, so they would rather simply ignore it. Many might support the amorphous ‘right to choose’, but you’d be hard-pressed to get much public support for lethally injecting viable children in the womb, let alone dismembering and decapitating them as happens in second-trimester D&E abortions.
We get a powerful opportunity, however rare it is, when we can break through into the mainstream media to highlight the nitty-gritty of what actually happens during an abortion.
The most high-profile abortion advocates actually rarely talk about abortion in public. Up until recently Planned Parenthood’s mantra has been all about ‘choice’ with little but hushed mention of what’s actually being chosen. And now they’re even backing away from the ‘pro-choice’ label because it’s too connected to abortion in the public mind.
All of this points to a good general rule for pro-lifers: when we can get the media talking about abortion, we win.

Seems the doc needs a dose of his own medicine!!!!!!!!!!
Anybody that kills babies deserves the eternity they will reap. Nuff said.
I just feel so sorry for the unborn that suffer under the doctors and philosophy surrounding abortion. I just can’t imagine a doctor willing to take a life, born or unborn.
What difference does it make? literally? As long as it results in votes for the GOP many are willing to go with abortion.
They have said so on this very site. And damn us ‘purists’ for opposing their ‘will to power’.
Enjoy the fire!
So... it’s OK to kill babies with Potassium Chloride, but not OK to use it on convicted murderers and rapists undergoing lethal injection ?
It’s about time for G-d to pull the plug on this country...I’m surprised when I wake up in the morning and see that the earth hasn’t swallowed us up yet...
I wodner if they’d also inject that stuff into a nearly born spotted owl egg?
Progressives sure do come up with some imaginative ways to kill people.
These ppl are sicko!
Sounds like a technique pioneered by Josef Mengele back in the thirties and forties.
