PRETORIA, March 12, 2003 (LifeSiteNews.com) - A premature baby who was born after an attempted abortion was then left for dead in the back of a car—but survived after being rushed to Pretoria Academic Hospital in the South African capital. A local man found the baby in a garbage bag and “dumped the bag on the ground in front of us,” said Inspector Riaan Klopper of Pretoria Central police station. Klopper continued, “I thought he was dead, but then he wriggled.” The mother and the woman allegedly responsible for the botched abortion were arrested and charged with attempted murder. “If the baby dies, [the perpetrators] will face murder charges, Klopper said. Sister Magdelene Kekana said on Sunday the infant would remain with them until he reached 1,8kg, after which his fate would be in the hands of social workers.
