Babies surviving an abortion (botched abortion)
in some places are left to die
abandoned, unattended, unhelped, uncomforted,
even for hours before they succumb..
Nothing must interfere with death wishes.
Who “owns” this child?
Who cares for the unwanted, even if they are dying?
Who is horrified if an unwanted newborn
is thrown out of a window?
You can kill in the womb
but not when born,
but some feel you can leave unattended, unhelped,
uncomforted to die …
We used to be horrified to hear of unwanted babies
turned out to perish, abandoned …

(this is officially illegal in parts of Australia, and I think in the US, I’m not sure of the position in the UK at present but seems much confusion and variable over the years. The Australian senate recently voted down a motion indicating the need for care for these babies which would have set a lead for the states where it is not legislated about)
