Abortion survivor bombshell

Here’s word of a very welcome move from the medical profession! How anyone could kill a baby born alive after an abortion is beyond me. I am glad to see that the medical profession is now taking a stand. I’ve never been able to understand how anyone could terminate a pregnancy simply because the baby was inconvenient. That feels to me like someone else is playing “God” in the life of another, and committing murder.

In my role as a healing prayer minister, I’ve worked with women who’ve lived with the unexpectedly huge guilt of having had an abortion… it seemed so clinical to them at the time but ended up reverberating through their souls and emotions causing guilt, depression, physical sickness, etc. I’ve also worked with several who survived abortion attempts on them. The pain of the rejection was immense for them… they felt as if they were supposed to be dead and sometimes had a death wish that dogged them in their attempts to be alive. This may not make sense to some out there but it happens. Such people have needed God’s deep healing work in their hearts and memories.

We don’t know when a foetus becomes a human life with a soul. My belief is that it’s at conception! This probably does not sit well with some but, again, in my experience with healing prayer I prayed with folk who, in some deep hidden part of their spirits, have known things from the time of their conception. They knew they were conceived in love, or in violence; they knew whether they were wanted, or not; they knew how peaceful or fearful their mothers were; and they even had a sense of harmony or disharmony in the home. It is amazing what we know if we give ourselves the time and place to be still enough to listen to those deep inner places of our beings.

Anyway, back to the topic at hand. I share this with you in hopes that it will help some make good desicions for themselves and for the lives of their unborn children.

Italian Doctors: Abortion Survivors Must be Given Care, Even Against Mother’s Wishes

Doctors from four different Roman universities have issued a joint declaration affirming the duty of doctors to rescue and care for infants born alive after an abortion attempt, even against the wishes of the mother.

The declaration, made by doctors at the obstetric clinics of La Sapienza, Tor Vergata, Campus Biomedico and Sacro Cuore, represent both the secular and religious sides of the Italian university system. The first two universities are public, and the second two are Catholic.

“An extremely premature newborn must be treated like any other person in danger, and assisted adequately,” said Domenico Arduni, director of the Tor Vergata gynecological clinic.

Arduini added that this principle would hold even if the child had survived an abortion, and “even if the mother is not in agreement.”

The four physicians issued the statement together during a meeting at Fatebenefratelli hospital in Rome last Saturday.

According to the Spanish publication El Pais, the doctors’ declaration and the Vatican’s recent campaign for a “moratorium” on abortion in Italy (which has now become a global campaign), “has fallen like a bomb among scientists and politicians”.

Emma Bonino, the Italian Minister of European Policy, complained to El Pais that “the political class should not allow others to set their agenda.

The Italian health minister, Livia Turco, told the publication that protecting the life of such children was “senseless cruelty. A prominent physician reportedly suggested that abortions be done by poisoning the baby with potassium chloride, thus ensuring his death before exiting the womb.

However, the ANSA news agency reports that the liberal bioethicist Cinzia Caporale has endorsed the physicians’ declaration, stating that while she is in favor of allowing euthanasia for adults who want it, children who leave the womb alive should be cared for, even against the will of the parents. “I don’t even consider their consent necessary if the fetus has survived an abortion,” she said.
