Lawsuit: Florida Clinic Botched Abortion, Threw Out Live Baby
Thursday, February 05, 2009
TAMPA, Florida — Eighteen and pregnant, Sycloria Williams went to an abortion clinic outside Miami and paid $1,200 for Dr. Pierre Jean-Jacque Renelique to terminate her 23-week pregnancy.
Three days later, she sat in a reclining chair, medicated to dilate her cervix and otherwise get her ready for the procedure.
Only Renelique didn't arrive in time. According to Williams and the Florida Department of Health, she went into labor and delivered a live baby girl.
What Williams and the Health Department say happened next has shocked people on both sides of the abortion debate: One of the clinic's owners, who has no medical license, cut the infant's umbilical cord. Williams says the woman placed the baby in a plastic biohazard bag and threw it out.
Police recovered the decomposing remains in a cardboard box a week later after getting anonymous tips.
"I don't care what your politics are, what your morals are, this should not be happening in our community," said Tom Pennekamp, a Miami attorney representing Williams in her lawsuit against Renelique and the clinic owners.
The state Board of Medicine is to hear Renelique's case in Tampa on Friday and determine whether to strip his license. The state attorney's homicide division is investigating, though no charges have been filed. Terry Chavez, a spokeswoman with the Miami-Dade County State Attorney's Office, said this week that prosecutors were nearing a decision.
That makes me want to wretch my heart out and put on a platter. That how bothered it makes me. Bothered isn't even the right word the describe it. 115,000 baby die everyday because of abortion. And why? Only because of our own senseless greed. 92% of abortions are because the child is unwanted or inconvenient. 42 million baby's die in a year because of abortion.That is more than the population of Canada. That blows my mind. We no longer watch while millions of politicians, service men and woman, coaches and stay at home moms die. I have to do something
What will you do?
