Their have been at least 17,855 born-alive babies since 1973, and their numbers are only increasing.
ANALYSIS
(LifeSiteNews) – We have all seen the murder movies where the intended victim just won’t die. We are seeing it again as the abortion industry tries to deal with its live-birth problem, known to abortionists as “the dreaded complication.”
The abortion industry is pushing for legislation that could protect it from lawsuits or criminal prosecution if the baby dies or is killed after surviving a botched abortion, or for the baby’s injuries if he or she does not die. Colorado, California, and Michigan passed laws this year under the guise of “reproductive health care” that seem to allow the killing or withholding of postnatal medical treatment from born-alive abortion survivors. The death of the child or any injuries from an unsuccessful abortion are euphemistically called a “pregnancy outcome.”
The federal government is no help, as Congress refuses to pass a law protecting born-alive abortion survivors.
Survivors of attempted late term abortions
There are thousands of born-alive abortion survivors each year. The most visible are those who barely escape with their lives after attempted late-term abortions, many with residual health problems. The number of these is at least 17,855 since 1973, according to the Abortion Survivors Network formed in 2012 by saline abortion survivor Melissa Ohden. The actual number is probably much higher since the FDA and most states do not require abortion providers to report live births.
But those are not the only abortion survivors. There are thousands more who survive failed attempted chemical abortions, and more tragically, thousands of babies who survive second-trimester induction abortions each year only to die within a few hours after birth from their injuries, medical neglect, or worse.
