You think they will stop at simple abortion?

Text from Christian Courier Publications:

A murder that will most likely not make the news headlines, not raise so much as an eyebrow on the national news. It won't, but it should.
Why should this murder be more important than hundreds of others that go unnoticed every day?
Because the case of Shanice Williams is a barometer of where this nation IS ... not where it is going ... but where it is.
Here's the sad story of her death.
Shanice's mother, an 18-year-old, wanted an abortion. Her doctor gave her medication she would take for a couple of days prior to the abortion ... medicine that would cause her to deliver the baby early. In case you aren't familiar with this procedure, it is preparatory to a partial birth abortion.
The doctor, however, did not show up on time for the actual abortion. So Shanice was born at 23 weeks. Shanice and her mother looked each other in the face. In that instant, her mother bonded with her. In that instant, her 18-year-old mother realized it had been a human being inside her, not just a blob.
Before anything else could happen, the owner of the abortion clinic (not a licensed doctor) came in and cut the umbilical cord. Then took Shanice and put her in a garbage bag which was then thrown out into a dumpster.
Shanice's body was recovered by police, an autopsy performed, confirming she was breathing on her own when she died.
If this doesn't bother you about where we ARE as a nation, I don't know what will.
What's worse is that Shanice's mother has hired an attorney and has filed a lawsuit. Maybe she should. But I have very little sympathy. She was old enough to do the deed, but living with responsibility is now a rare thing.
What really should happen is this. She went for an abortion, she took the medicine, she went to the clinic. As long as she didn't have to see her daughter, she was willing to let her baby be killed because ... Shanice was an unwanted pregnancy, an inconvenience and hardship.
The reality is Shanice's mother should be prosecuted for murder. Along with the doctor, the clinic owner, and anyone else who assisted.
But that won't happen. Why?
Because our nation has become so desensitized to killing babies, that we don't really care about it any more. And we're so easily swept with emotions of sympathy for a struggling mother who just had "no other way out." But now, she is having a hard time with it having looked her baby in the face.
But the truth is, we don't really care about Shanice or her mother. We care more about bigger issues than throwing babies out in the garbage: like the economy, hard times, unemployment, stock prices.
Where do you stand? Is the economy more important than protecting little babies like Shanice? Is money a bigger "moral" issue than innocent, helpless babies?

Wow what a story! I hadn't heard about that surprise surprise! I can't imagine being in her shoes. And the odasity of the Phasicians assistant or whatever her was. To put the baby in a TRASHBAG and dump her out back in the dumpster! Our nation is so blind to the issue! It has nothing to do with the women's RIGHT to CHOOSE! She made a choice months ago! What about that living breathing babies CHOICE? When does she get to choose???
