Yes, there are people who survive abortions. Isn't it strange that when you inject them with saline they aren't people but then when they pop out a few minuites later and start crying you have to start treating them for saline burns?

British Medical Association to Discuss the Fate of Late-term Abortion
Survivors

LONDON, June 22, 2004 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The issue of abortion survival
is on the roster for the annual meeting of the British Medical Association
in Wales next week. Late term abortions are often done by chemical
injection, inducement of labour or saline and the child can survive only
to be left to die without care. At their meeting in Llandudno next week,
BMA doctors will hear arguments that a child who survives an abortion must
be given the same intensive neo-natal care as any other premature child.

Dr Vivienne Nathanson, head of science and ethics at the BMA, assured BBC
News Online that abortion survival was rare, however, since no records are
kept it is impossible to verify her assertion. The Daily Mail reports that
at least two such cases occur in the UK every year whereas pro-life
leaders say that statistics indicate that at least 3000 occur annually.

Dr. Nathanson, defending the decision to allow abortion survivors to die
without further care, spoke only of the cases where severe disability will
prevent doctors from instigating "aggressive" neo-natal care. She said,
"Nobody wants to see babies die and nobody wants to see babies suffering,
but suffering can also come from very aggressive treatment if that
treatment is not having any effect." Dr. Nathanson avoided the question of
many perfectly healthy children being abandoned after abortion; stories
all too familiar to pro-life activists.

Dr. Louise Silverton, of the Royal College of Midwives, even more
chillingly referred obliquely to "guidelines" intended to ensure death in
late-term abortions.. She said, "There are guidelines to prevent the live
birth of babies following late abortions." However, even she agreed that
those who escape ought to be accorded the same neo-natal care that other
pre-term children receive.

Nuala Scarisbrick, Trustee of LIFE, said, "We have known for years that
this dreadful practice goes on in NHS hospitals, often in units where
there are full facilities for care of premature babies. The BMA should
instruct its members at their conference next week that all babies born
alive after abortion should be resuscitated and given truly loving care."

Scarisbrick admonished the medical establishment to refuse to participate
in abortion. She said, "How strange that the Government which wants to
make it a criminal offence for parents to smack their children is
indifferent to the suffering of 180,000 unborn children killed by abortion
every year, and by the treatment of babies born alive after late
abortions. There is hypocrisy here."
