Planned Parenthood: Infant Born Alive May Be Killed

A Planned Parenthood representative told Florida lawmakers in committee on March that if a baby is born alive in a so-called "botched abortion," that infant's future is up to the woman seeking an abortion and her abortionist.

Here's a report, courtesy of The Weekly Standard:

Alisa LaPolt Snow,  the lobbyist representing the Florida Alliance of Planned Parenthood Affiliates, testified that her organization believes the decision to kill an infant who survives a failed abortion should be left up to the woman seeking an abortion and her abortion doctor.

“So, um, it is just really hard for me to even ask you this question because I’m almost in disbelief,” said Rep. Jim Boyd. “If a baby is born on a table as a result of a botched abortion, what would Planned Parenthood want to have happen to that child that is struggling for life?”

“We believe that any decision that’s made should be left up to the woman, her family, and the physician,” said PP lobbyist Snow.

Rep. Daniel Davis then asked Snow, “What happens in a situation where a baby is alive, breathing on a table, moving. What do your physicians do at that point?”

“I do not have that information,” Snow replied. “I am not a physician, I am not an abortion provider. So I do not have that information.”

Rep. Jose Oliva followed up, asking the Planned Parenthood official, “You stated that a baby born alive on a table as a result of a botched abortion that that decision should be left to the doctor and the family. Is that what you’re saying?”

Again, Snow replied, “That decision should be between the patient and the health care provider.”

3 Choose Life During "40 Days for Life" Campaign

    Three mothers decided against abortion during the recently concluded 40 Days for Life campaign in Fort Lauderdale. 40 Days for Life is an international event involving 40 days of prayer and fasting, peaceful vigil outside an abortion center, and community outreach. More than 6,000 children have been spared to date from abortion through this nationwide initiative.

"She Turned and Went Home"
    Here is one account of how God worked to spare an unborn child during the just-passed campaign in Fort Lauderdale:

    On Saturday, Oct. 27, a young lady approaching the abortion center told the pro-life, sidewalk counselor that she was considering terminating her pregnancy because her parents would not approve of her having a baby out of wedlock. She has been living with a boyfriend for several years, and he is supportive of her giving birth. She did not really want to abort the baby and does not have much familiarity with the local scene as she is from out of state. The young woman was told about a pregnancy center in her neighborhood and encouraged to get married. She turned around and went home.

     Thank you to all who joined in the fall campaign by your prayers and your presence. God is on the side of the unborn and He will answer our petitions as we seek Him on their behalf.
