This story is not for the faint of heart.
The patient was instructed to arrive early, which she did. The staff got things underway in anticipation of the doctor’s arrival. But he was called to another patient for an emergency and arrived hours late. The procedure was already begun and the staff carried it to it’s completion:

The Department of Health said [Dr.] Renelique was scheduled to perform an abortion on a teenager who was 23 weeks pregnant in 2006. Sycloria Williams had been given drugs in advance to dilate her cervix.
According to the complaint, she gave birth at a Hialeah clinic after waiting hours for Renelique to arrive. The complaint said one of the clinic owners put the baby in a bag that was thrown away.

Because of the tardiness of the doctor, the baby was born alive, but quick thinking staff members finished the procedure by simply throwing the baby away.
But the doctor was disciplined, and now lost his license over it.
Why?
Had the doctor been on time, everything would have ended the same.
Wasn’t the desired result a non-pregnant girl and a dead baby? Isn’t that what was achieved? Why does it matter that this baby was actually alive for a few moments outside the mother? What changed about it?
Every day hundreds, probably thousands, of babies get thrown in the trash, only they are killed before we get to see that they are babies. Why is it barbaric to throw a baby in the trash only if it’s actually breathed air? *
The inconsistency in this issue is amazing to me. Cause a pregnant woman to miscarry in an accident and you’re a murderer. If she comes to you and asks you to do it in a nice clean office, then you’re a doctor. But mess it up, and let the baby be born alive, but correct your mistake, well, now you’re a murderer again.
I can only hope that this will show some how barbaric the pro-abortion position is. If even a few stop and think “What in the world are we doing?”, then maybe this little one won’t have died in vain.

* I’ll grant what one commenter at the Thinklings said. It’s a cold person who can look at a live baby, holding it in your arms, and then throw it away.
