If you're not outraged, you're not paying attention!

This article is truly stomach-turning. Anyone who doesn't think that the baby is alive (or wants to live!) after reading this is truly blinded by his ideology. I will let the article speak for itself...

50 babies a year are alive after abortion

The debate over abortion was reignited last night after it emerged that 50 babies survive botched terminations in Britain every year. The figures are the first to show the true scale of a problem thought to have been confined to just a handful of babies.
Now some of the country's leading doctors will investigate how so many survived to be born after just 22 weeks of pregnancy. Shockingly, some of the babies may have gone through more than one abortion.
The revelation triggered demands for the time limit for terminations to be cut. The procedure is currently offered 'on demand' up until the 24th week of pregnancy.
The latest figures emerged from the Confidential Enquiry into Child Health (Cemach), which monitors pregnancy deaths on behalf of Britain's six royal colleges of medicine. The study showed that, each year, up to 50 babies survive abortions carried out after 22 weeks.
Doctors in Norwich are treating a toddler born at 24 weeks after three botched
terminations. The boy, now aged two, has a range of medical problems. Cemach's report to the Department of Health could see Britain's abortion procedures being overhauled.
Currently, abortions at 22 weeks of pregnancy and above involve the fatal injection of a chemical into the baby's heart while it is still in the womb.
Any babies that survive the procedure, and are born alive, are entitled to medical care. However, anti-abortion campaigners claim that some are so unwanted that they are simply left to die.
Last night, one of Britain's leading obstetricians accused the doctors who carried out botched abortions of 'sub-standard' medicine.

And after all that, they still don't get it. "sub-standard medicine"?!?!? Why - because the child lived through the botched abortion - not because abortion itself is a "sub-standard medical procedure."

I wonder what the numbers are for the U.S.

that's exactly what I thought. They must be at least 10 times higher.
