WOMAN LOSES SEVERAL ORGANS IN HOSPITAL ABORTION

Dead fetus later found inside 'except for one arm and one leg'

BIRMINGHAM, England, March 4, 2003 (LifeSiteNews.com) - A 21-year-old woman lost several internal organs when a doctor sliced through her uterus while aborting her five-month-old unborn child. According to an assisting nurse, the doctor was pulling out "what appeared... to be some bowel" with profuse bleeding before he admitted something was seriously wrong and called for help.

An emergency team of doctors then surgically removed her right ovary, right fallopian tube and part of the urethra - the tube connecting the kidney to the bladder - from the damaged area "to save her life." One of the surgeons described the woman's inside as "just a mess... A rush of blood carrying the partially dismembered foetus just went everywhere, all over the place... The foetus was largely intact, apart from one arm and one leg." When her stomach was opened, said another witness, the "cavity was full of blood and floating on top was a 20-week-old foetus, largely intact apart from a missing arm and a missing leg."

Pro-abortionists have always maintained that abortion is far safer than natural childbirth, but this case throws light on the reality of abortion. The doctor, Andrew Gbinigie, was also accused of behaving improperly towards two female hospital staff. But he denies professional misconduct in a hearing that continues this week.
