Baby's Head left in Woman after Abortion

LONDON, August 11, 2004 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Hours after undergoing an abortion at King's College Hospital in London, 29-year-old Davina Chambers came face to face with her aborted baby. Chambers was discharged from the hospital after the abortion, and hospital personnel told her that they had done three scans on her and that everything was fine. Then the unthinkable happened. "At midnight.I went to the bathroom and as I was sitting there, I just felt something slip out of me as if I had just given birth. I looked in the toilet and saw this lump that seemed to have a bone in it", she describes.

Examining the object with her ex-partner, Chambers could distinguish two eyes, a nose, a mouth and even ears. The head measured little more than four centimeters across. Both adults broke down and cried.

Chambers, already caring for her three children, decided to have an abortion and insert a contraceptive device when she learned of her pregnancy. She had recently been diagnosed with a serious liver disorder and suffered from depression due to her medication.

Upon discovering the head, Chambers called for an ambulance and was immediately hospitalized. Doctors told her that she could have died had the head remained lodged in her uterus. The man who had performed the abortion apologized and tried to take away the baby's remains, but the anguished mother refused to give them up, explaining, "we wanted to have a proper burial."

A spokeswoman for King's College Hospital told reporters that a complaint had been filed but that the hospital could not release any information until its investigation of the case was complete.

We cannot call the West a just society until the scourge of abortion ends.

I tremble for my civilization when I reflect that God is just.

I guess we can count one more pro-life convert.

Wait just a minute here. There couldn't have been a head in this woman! I mean, after all, it was just a lifeless blob of cells that needed to be surgically removed, right? Kind of like a tumor, right?

/sarcasm>

Seems this woman had a wake up call and realized that she had offered up her own child to be murdered.

Examining the object with her ex-partner...

I presume in this instance that ex-partner equals father.

Agreed. You're preaching to the choir, here.

This story and the one I read and wept over yesterday morning - http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1192280/posts - are almost too much to take. I pray for their innocent, little souls which never had a chance at life. The horror of it all.

"a proper burial"? A surgeons steel waste pan was just fine earlier in the day.

Yes, that's why I always chuckle when I hear Americans say "God is on our side."

God is certainly not pleased with the US and West.

This is hilarious!

English healthcare must be a lot like English cuisine.

Now they want to give it a proper burial. Like a goldfish or something.

Rationalization is a powerful thing.

With this woman it's all about herself --- it inconvenienced her to have to see the baby she had murdered. Just like the feminists don't want the women to look at ultrasounds of their babies before they have them killed.

But, but it's not a proper person yet!

On the whole yes, I agree. The only thing holding back His wrath are the saints.

I can't imagine an abortionist who could do more than one. That's so cold. They can't have a conscience.
