A BABY survived at least three attempts to abort it from the womb and was born alive at 24 weeks old.

The boy was delivered in hospital after his 24- year-old mother changed her mind about wanting the child after feeling it move on the way home from an abortion clinic . . .continued here (http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2087-1482142,00.html)

24 weeks old?

I wonder what would have been crueler. Killing him (it?) or allowing him (it?) to live.

Ug. My thoughts exactly, Southstar. *shudders*

i didn;t think it possible to be born and live that early. god bless em

Weed...I agree. Not really much to say about this than that.

Follow the Baby Charlotte saga in the UK? Born in Oct of 2003. Three months early. Such profound birth defects, the hospital wanted to put a "Do not resuscitate." order on her. The parents said no. The hospital sued and won. But she didn't die. Two weeks ago the parents went to court again asking that the "Do not resuscitate" order be lifted.

They lost.

damn, that shit is wack.

Hey cato...this kid...the one who lived after three tries to abort him...you think he'll be in the Guinness Book of World Records?

If he does, will he make the book as the youngest person to be in it?

And wouldn't that be a record too?

Doctor attempts abortion three times and fails. What a putz.

Abortionists do dangle on a rope tied to the lowest rung of the medical ladder but I suspect this was a case of the procedures they all use not working.

It seems they used drugs instead of a more reliable surgical technique. Should have done the mother, too while they were at it.

I was thinking this kid deserves a pass, he's really earned an attempt at survival.

But.... nah, do we really need a deadly strain of abortion resistent homo-sapien?
I say just use a cute little electric chair made out of leggo and aaa batteries to dispatch of him.
It will be so adorable that no one will be outraged.

There is something strange about the article. If you try to abort at 22 weeks they really can't let you go home before the fetus comes out. It is a bit to big just to disappear by itself. You need to deliver it. So how can they send the woman home?
