Wichita, KS - June 24, 2008 - A murder investigation has been opened involving Shelley Sella, a California abortionist employed by George Tiller, who is reported to have intentionally stabbed to death an infant born alive during an abortion at Tiller's Women's Health Care Services abortion clinic in Wichita, Kansas.
Operation Rescue reported the incident to the Wichita Police Department after a former Tiller employee, Tina Davis, told Troy Newman and Cheryl Sullenger of the stabbing in April. It is believed that the alleged infanticide took place sometime in the past two years.
In addition, the incident has been reported to the Kansas State Board of Healing Arts, which has confirmed that the case has been assigned to an investigator.
Abortionist Shelley Sella is a "circuit rider" who splits her time between Tiller's Wichita clinic, a California Planned Parenthood clinic, and other, smaller abortion mills.
"Ms. Davis gave us a very specific eye-witness account about the incident," said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman. "We were told that the baby was 35 weeks gestation at the time of the abortion. The baby came out and was moving. Sella looked up at Ms. Davis, then picked up a utensil and stabbed the baby in the left ribcage, twisting the utensil until the baby quit moving. At 35 weeks, there is no doubt about viability. This is murder in anybody's book."
"We understand there are unique challenges to getting charges filed in this case since the body would have been cremated at Tiller's on-site crematorium. Without a body, any murder case becomes more difficult," said Newman. "However, because of the brutality of this murder and the gravity of this charge, we are compelled to demand that Tiller's clinic be closed by the State until a full inspection and investigation can take place, and that the medical licenses of Sella and her boss, Tiller, be immediately suspended."
"We have every reason to believe that the story she told us was true," said Newman. "We have been able to confirm many of the other things she told us. Ms. Davis came forward because she was troubled by what went on at the abortion clinic, and was seeking peace. We pray she finds it."
What surprises me is that an employee (i.e., accessory to murder) blew the whistle on this.
It's standard practice, as part of a D&C abortion, to reassemble the body parts of the infant on a tabletop, after the abortion, to make sure that no body parts are left in the mother's womb. It's not hard to imagine someone who witness this kind of carnage, day after day, to be indifferent an infant being stabbed to death. But maybe it was the breaking point for the informant.
My girls (9 & 12) heard that on the news, and their mouths dropped open. I had already familiarized them with the facts about abortion, and the fact that every other person they meet thinks abortion should be legal. They were still shocked by Obama's statement. Amazing that this doesn't even register with most people.
In a river of boiling blood? Prevented, by centaurs with arrows, from lifting their heads from the blood they have spilled? It is deserved.
My granddaughter was born 3 months premature. She weighed 1 pound 10 oz. She CRIED when they pulled her into the bright, cold cruel world. She spent the next 3 months in one of the best neo-natal units in America (Kosair Hospital in Louisville, KY) - luckily right across the Ohio River from where we all live - and she came home at a tad over 4 lbs just before her actual ‘due date’. No complication, infections or surgeries... (I think the power of prayer had a lot to do with that)
One day I have ‘Mom & Dad’ in the car on our way to one of our nearly daily ‘visits’. We passed a very respectful, quiet, orderly protest of praying folks standing in front of a ‘Women’s Health Clinic’ in downtown Louisville. I’d never noticed it before. Very low key. I circled the block and pulled over in front of them. One of the ladies came up after I rolled down the window and I told her where we were going and why. I also told her that babies just as viable and even more developed were just tossed in the trash at places like that.
Under-developed and tiny, she was still very much a baby. No one with eyes could not recognize that unless they willingly lied to themselves because they think they are so much smarter than the rest of the world.
‘Born’ in January instead of April, her name is Autumn and she now weighs nearly 9 lbs and is smiling and cooing. She’s perfect in every way.

Obama hasn’t given many specifics as to what exactly he believes in.
But this is something he has gone on the record for.
This is what Obama believes in.
What do you expect from someone who refers to babies as “punishments”
Thanks a bunch.
If so you are certifiably delusional.
“If so you are certifiably delusional.”
I’m not so delusional that I believe everything I read.
Operation Rescue went to far as to demand (their words) that “the seriousness of the allegation” warranted closure of the facility and a suspension of licenses. So they want the power to close facilities and suspend medical licenses based solely on their allegations.
Yeah, I’m the delusional one.
If it were alleged you were doing that in your kitchen you'd be shut down right quick. Why should they get an exemption.
That is wonderful! What a blessing!
..they come under conviction (folks are praying)....they leave...and they confess.
A story like this can most certainly be true, and it no doubt happens more often than we want to believe.
We have reached saturation point.
“The allegation is that the pukes at that “facility” are stabbing babies to death.
If it were alleged you were doing that in your kitchen you’d be shut down right quick. Why should they get an exemption.”
If a doctor’s license was pulled every time some third party with an agenda made an allegation we wouldn’t have but a handful of doctors practicing at any given time.
Admittedly, I’ve never owned a restaurant but I’m pretty sure if I did own a restaurant, it would take considerably more than a bunch of vegans saying I’m killing people to shut me down.
The day they 'took her' (as the doctor called it) was one of intense emotions.
The doctor couldn't hear a heartbeat and decided to take the baby right away...
..My daughter, however, remained calm, because she could tell the baby was hiccuping within the womb!...(but no one seemed to give this credence)
Thank the Lord they went in, as Em had little breathing space left and my daughter & Em could have perished if they had waited longer.
It was God's grace that both daughter & granddaughter are very healthy & happy!
I loved motherhood, but being a grandparent is bliss, pure bliss :)
Human Blender time should about right for her....
