Title: Criminal Charges Still Demanded in Murder of Baby After Failed Abortion Post by: nChrist on February 11, 2009, 11:50:32 PM Lawsuit Filed -- Criminal Charges Still Demanded in Murder of Baby After Failed Abortion
by Staff February 6, 2009 MIAMI, Fla., (christiansunite.com) -- A law suit was filed last week by the Thomas More Society in the case of a baby that was born alive at a Hialeah abortion clinic, murdered, and whose body was stashed on the clinic roof. The case was filed on behalf of the baby, Shanice Denise Osbourne, and names 13 defendants, including the unlicensed worker who killed Shanice, Belkis Gonzalez, the doctor who did not respond to calls, Pierre Renelique, and the business entity that owns the four abortion mills run by them. The suit provides new and shocking details of callous, negligent conduct and cold-blooded murder. [Read the full complaint] "We are thankful to the Thomas More Society for taking an interest in this case and seeking justice on behalf of Shanice. We pray for their success," said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman. On July 20, 2006, Shanice's mother, Sycloria Williams, arrived at the Hialeah clinic in the early stages of labor after having been prepared for her late-term abortion the previous day by Renelique. Without a doctor or any other licensed person present, the clinic receptionist administered a drug that induced labor and cervical dilation. After waiting hours in the clinic's recovery room in labor and without medical attention, Williams finally gave birth to Shanice on the seat of a recliner. With Shanice moving and breathing on her own, Gonzalez murdered Shanice by cutting the umbilical cord and shoving her into a red bio-hazard bag. She hid Shanice's body on the roof of the abortion clinic. An informant contacted the police and days later they were able to recover the baby's decomposing body. An autopsy confirmed that Shanice had been born alive. In the two years since the incident, authorities have neglected to charge Gonzalez in the death of Shanice, saying only that the case is under investigation. "After over two years, there is nothing left to investigate," said Newman. "We know who murdered Shanice, and we know how it was done down to the last detail. It's been determined that the baby was born alive and the actions taken by Gonzalez caused her death. Now it's time for justice. "The Miami prosecutor is letting Gonzalez get away with murder, and is sending a dangerous message to the medical world that the lives of living newborns are not deserving of protection. We cannot rest until justice is done." Operation Rescue is one of the leading pro-life Christian activist organizations in the nation. Operation Rescue recently made headlines when it bought and closed an abortion clinic in Wichita, Kansas and has become the voice of the pro-life activist movement in America. Its activities are on the cutting edge of the abortion issue, taking direct action to restore legal personhood to the pre-born and stop abortion in obedience to biblical mandates. http://news.christiansunite.com/Religion_News/religion08008.shtml Additional information on ChristiansUnite.com is available on the Internet at http://www.christiansunite.com/ Copyright © 2007 ChristiansUnite.com.
