So true. In many places they won’t even let us adopt a dog without proving our worthiness. Kill a dog and there is almost NO CHANCE of getting away with it. If only children could get that kind of security :(

It’s a more understandable error than amputating the wrong foot, but if people weren’t so obsessed with perfection and abortion, it wouldn’t have happened, but that’s the chance you take..
I wonder what the *birth defect* was?

22nd week of pregnancy ___________________________ At 22 weeks: The fetus is about 7½ inches long and weighs about one pound. The fetus has fingerprints and perhaps some head and body hair. The fetus may suck its thumb and is more active. The brain is growing very rapidly. The fetal heartbeat can be easily heard. The kidneys start to work. At 23 weeks, approximately 31% of babies born survive.

Italian news agencies said the woman subsequently returned to hospital to have the remaining, deformed foetus aborted. She then reported the doctors to police.************
This story is so sad, I simply cannot express it.

It was rescuscitated and survived for a brief period. Too bad for it, huh?

Yes, this story hit me harder for some reason than most abortion stories. It was a healthy baby that was wanted but killed because the mother didn’t want to raise a baby with a defect. Terrible. And then she aborts the baby with the defect as well after they kill the healthy baby. And so late in the term. At that age I read that they put a needle into the heart of the baby they want to kill and inject poison. The baby has to feel pain.

They make it sound like she returned a dress that didn't fit. She's 40 years old. The pregnancy was probably IVF. Not one word about the human tragedy of it, the grief of the parents, nothing. Just the medical malpractice. Mark Steyn says Italy's birth rate is so low the population will halve every 35 years. Italians are aborting themselves out of existence. Apparently, without regret.

Here’s one for your pro-life list.
Did that aborted baby have a right to life?

I first read it this morning in this link:
Botched abortion shocks Italy, where the deformed twin fetus' 'malformation' was down syndrome. It seems to be the same story. I don't want to rush to conclusions, but I hope the UK report listed above isn't calling down syndrome a deformity. Not that it much matters, because the little twin has lost his/her sibling and those who push abortion as a 'solution' seem to have an ever increasing list of imperfections to eliminate.
Italian police have been asked to investigate a case in which doctors treating a 40-year-old woman who was pregnant with twins aborted a healthy foetus while leaving a second, malformed one untouched.
This healthy baby was aborted and they are outraged but only because they made a mistake on which one they were aborting, yet every day thousands of healthy babies are casually discarded...

"the grief of the parents,"The "grief of the parents"? Are you joking? Where was Il Papa in his role staying this grevious harm? And absent an epiphany about what she's just done, her conscience will burn to her last days.
