On Oct. 14, 2008, little Shanice Osbourne was finally be laid to rest 27 months after she was allegedly killed on the day she was aborted alive, July 20, 2006, by abortion clinic owner Belkis Gonzalez at A Gyn Diagnostics Center in Hialeah, Fla.
In addition, notice of intent to initiate a civil lawsuit for medical negligence, wrongful death and personal injury has been filed against Gonzalez, abortionist Pierre Jean-Jacques Renelique and their conglomerate of four Dade County abortion clinics by Pennekamp Law in conjunction with the Thomas More Society.
Finally, some semblance of peace and justice?
On a hot summer day a little over two years ago, Sycloria Williams was in the throes of an induced-labor abortion of 22-week-old Shanice when the baby delivered alive.
A clinic worker, along with Williams, witnessed Gonzalez cut the cord and place the moving, breathing baby in a biohazard bag partially filled with chlorine bleach and zip it shut.
It was that worker who developed a conscience and allegedly called police to report the crime, after which Gonzalez tossed the baby in the bag on top of the mill roof so police couldn’t find her.
For nine days, the baby baked in the Florida sun until Gonzalez, thinking the coast was clear, retrieved her only to have the worker call police again, who this time found the baby. DNA evidence linked Shanice to Sycloria.
And then the case hit a wall because the murder victim had been aborted.
While the Miami-Dade County medical examiner determined Shanice was born alive, he concluded her death was “natural” due to “extreme prematurity,” since no one could know exactly why she died burning, drowning, suffocation, or on her own?
The examiner was clearly biased. If one strangles a dying 2-year-old, one still has committed murder. If one shoots a person midair who has just leapt to her death, one has still committed murder. But if one burns, drowns and suffocates a dying premature aborted baby, the death was natural?
Shanice’s short life and death demonstrate the need for the Born Alive Infants Protection Act. While it was legal to kill Shanice pre-birth, it was “wrongful death” to do so after, even if she wasn’t viable.
(This is exactly the age baby Barack Obama as state senator fought against giving legal personhood status.)
To date, the Miami Dade district attorney has not filed criminal charges against Gonzalez or Renelique, who was negligently absent from the premises when Sycloria delivered, and so the two still roam free and abort for a price in the Miami area.
Shanice was buried at Queen of Heaven Cemetery in Fort Lauderdale.
Quote: “To date, the Miami Dade district attorney has not filed criminal charges against Gonzalez or Renelique, who was negligently absent from the premises when Sycloria delivered, and so the two still roam free and abort for a price in the Miami area.”
Not anymore! At least, they can’t perform any more abortions. Renelique has lost his medical license.
How can anyone in their right mind support the right to kill a child? If I live to be 100, I’ll never figure it out.
It’s tough to imagine but this is one of dealies with FOCA. The Freedom of Choice Act would make it legal to induce birth for abortions.
In my opinion a baby becaomes a living thing apon conseption. They say you are not living until you take that first breath, but do we not get oxygen through the cord. Its murder no matter how you cut it. If the child inside a woman is dispensable then why do doctors waste the time they do to try and save a unborn child if it falls under stress? This is one subject that I will never be opened minded about. Abortion is wrong , no matter when or how you do it.
Father,
Do aborted babies go to heaven, for they have not been baptized? And if a mother has an abortion and sincerely repents for her wrong doings will God forgive her? Or will he give her “place” in heaven to her child that she aborted and condemn her to hell?
I had an abortion many years ago. While attending RCIA classes I did something that had been on my mind for a long time – naming my son.
From the first time I said his name outloud, I felt the beginnings of peace. I was concerned about the Church’s position on me personally but also wondering if my son was in heaven. At my first confession, I discussed this with my priest. He granted me absolution and told me my son is my guardian angel.
I don’t believe God would deny salvation to an innocent who had no control over his own destiny. Psalm 51 reinforces this to me:
Have mercy on me, God, in your goodness
in your abundant compassion
blot out my offense.
Wash away all my guilt;
from my sin cleanse me.
For I know my offense;
my sin is always before me.
Against you alone have I sinned;
I have done such evil in your sight
That you are just in your sentence,
blameless when you condemn.
Fr. Joe, aborting my son was a horrible sin. I feel peace knowing my son is watching out for me until I join him in heaven.
Father,
When does a soul enter a baby and what does 1 Corrinthians 7:12-16 mean about the status of children?
I realize the context is about being married to an unbeliever, but it says the children of such a union are holy. If that is the case, wouldn’t an unborn be set apart and holy if simply one of the parents were believers?
And, since our God is not confined by time, if the parents were unbelievers at the time of the conception but at least one came to believe later, would the unborn infant that was aborted not then be considered holy?
Thank you Father,
Sandy
