Born four months premature after his mother allegedly tried to abort him and then had him dumped, he still survived.

With all the odds stacked against him, he clung desperately to life.

The newborn baby was rushed to Pretoria Academic Hospital after he had been left for dead in the back of a car, allegedly by a woman employed at a local surgery.I thought he was dead," said Inspector Riaan Klopper of Pretoria Central police station, "but then he wriggled."

The baby, weighing 1,1kg, is in a critical but stable condition at the neonatal unit of Pretoria Academic Hospital.

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.

An employee of a panelbeating shop next to the surgery in Marabastad saw an unknown woman leave a bag on the back seat of one of the cars in the yard just after 8am on Saturday.

The woman's action raised his suspicions, and he went to investigate. Then he called the police.
Klopper said the baby had been wrapped in newspaper and placed in a black plastic bag.

"When we arrived, the man from the panelbeating shop dumped the bag on the ground in front of us. It was only after I had stared at the bloody sight in disbelief for a few moments that I saw the child move," he stated.

Police Captain Piletji Sebola said further questioning revealed that a 34-year-old mother from Kanana village in Hammanskraal had apparently approached a 40-year-old woman working at the surgery on Friday, wanting an abortion.

"The baby was aborted on Saturday morning."
Doctors at Pretoria Academic Hospital believe the mother was given something to drink and that it induced the birth.

"The mother and the woman allegedly responsible for the attempted abortion were arrested and charged with attempted murder.

"If the baby dies, they will face murder charges," Sebola said.

The two women were expected to appear in the Pretoria magistrate's court on Monday.

im all for choice but thats just sick. they could have put him up for adoption. shouldnt they face murder or attempted murder charges for this already??
 
I thought it isn't human until it can survive without the mother's body... Why would this upset people that like to abort kids?
 
i'm surprised the kid even survived. i was born at 6.5 months and barely stayed alive. hell i was dead for a short period...and that was in the hospital...
pretty amazing the kid survived. i seriously doubt, no i know that the kid won't grow up normally when born at 5 months.
it's quite exceptional that a kid at 5 months weighs 1.1 kg...thats quite a bit.
it could be that the day of birth was miscalculated...the kid just can't be 5 months...
recentely a kid here in the netherlands died because he was born 4 months too late due to a faulty calculation...he was quite small, so they didn't see he was 4 months older than they thought.
mistakes are made...

now, back to your question Jessie...there is a slight difference between a do-it-yourself-abortion followed by dumping the foetus/embryo, resulting in keeping the organism alive and having an abortion in the hospital followed by the immediate death of the foetus/embryo is totally different.
this kid has a huge change of growing up with all kind of physical and mental side-effects and errors...

yey for the kid for surviving. i sure hope you can tell the difference between a 'normal' abortion and this.

You keep doing this kind of shit and then wonder why some are short with you. Just because one understands the possibility that an abortion could be the best scenerio in some cases doesn't mean that they think all babies should be aborted. You know, that baby is just as human as all the Iraqis you are so willing to kill. Why don't you climb down off that horse and get a feel for the world.

by your lame ass definition, most people wouldn't be "human" until they're well within their 20's ... think, for once before you post something this lame, think ... just think.


I'm all for choice ... I'm not one for telling anyone how they should live their life or what they should or should not do with their bodies ...but at 5 months? Come on ... at 5 months, I could feel my children beginning to move around inside me ... I can't believe people can be so unfeeling.
 
nalani, it isn't my definition, it is one of the abortion supporters here's definition form long ago. I consider all abortion murder. :) I'm just happy that the baby survived (yes he is human to me) and like ku'u said, hope he never knows how he came into the world.

So you'd rather kill defenseless babies in their mother's womb than murderous dictators? Since both are human and you support abortion but not war with Iraq? :retard4:

No, I shouldn't be posting in this thread... Senseless killing of defenseless babies makes me a not-so-nice guy. Sorry if I offended anyone... You all know my position and I don't need to repeat myself.
 
Even using that definition, this baby could obviously survive outside the mother's body. You're just trying to piss people off.
 
Squiggy, if they take him off life support, he will die. He cannot survive outside of the mother's body on his own.
 
There you go again.....I'd rather there weren't the need to discuss abortion or war. But that would make me a Hippie or a pathetic pacifist or some other term you would come up with. No matter what, you would find some lable to throw on it...
 
so, do you see the difference between normal abortion and this already? guess not.

but heh, selectively responding on comments is easy...just ignore the part you don't like huh? that was it, right?
