Rocking baby to death

THE EDITOR: In the United States a nurse, named Gillian Stanek gave evidence before US Congress that in a hospital establishment where abortions are performed, as a more “humane” way of killing the child, the mother was given Cycotec or other medication which caused the uterus to open and the baby to fall out.

Gillian stated that many of these babies were still alive after this procedure, so they were taken to the room where the soiled linen was kept; the baby was left on a metal table to die. She herself had cradled some of these little ones until they died two to three hours later. When she wrote to the Medical Board she was asked to leave the hospital. She refused, as she believed she must try to save healthy babies from dying. She then appealed to Bishop George and further enquiries were made of the hospital. The hospital’s answer was what they were doing was legal.

The hospital now has a room, where the babies are taken to die. This room is equipped with a camera for parents to take a picture of their dying baby. Pink blankets for girls, and blue for boys. Parents can get a lock of the baby’s hair, or take a footprint of their baby. There are even certificates ready for those who want to baptise their babies. There is a large comfortable rocking chair where the mother can rock her baby to death. People of Trinidad wake up. If abortion is legalised in Trinidad and Tobago this may be us in the near future.
