LETTER: Killing babies is shocking

SAN ANGELO, Texas - Ernest Aguirre, Diocese of San Angelo Knights of Columbus

Planned Parenthood, the biggest provider of abortions in the USA, recently stated through its representatives that if a baby were to survive an abortion attempt, no medical means should be used to save that baby’s life.

Testifying against a bill in the Florida Legislature that would require medical personnel to use their best professional efforts to save the infant of an abortion, the Planned Parenthood lobbyist said that should a baby survive an abortion and be alive, struggling there on the table, the decision about the treatment should be left to the family and physician (abortionist).

Planned Parenthood has been caught on tape admitting the organization’s barbaric practice of leaving infants born after an abortion to die. The fact that Planned Parenthood opposes a bill requiring medical personnel to try to save precious infants who survive abortion speaks volumes about their true character.

The fact that Planned Parenthood aggressively lobbies against legislation requiring medical care for children surviving abortion is appalling. The fact that a Planned Parenthood official testified that killing such children is permissible is brutally shocking.

Sadly, most major media outlets do not share this frightening information with the public. Proven information shows many precious innocent ones survive abortion. This should be a major headline in every newspaper in our country.

Our country is deeply divided over the question of abortion. But can we not, out of a sense of compassion and mercy for the most vulnerable tiny ones, at least agree that killing a born helpless child is murder?
