    I don't want to comment on abortions, but can you imagine how the parents feel? Can't imagine they made an easy choice and then to find out that their baby survived it must be terrible.

    My first thought was 'oh that poor woman' she must have gone through hell to make a decision like that at that stage and the awful additional trauma that this must have caused.

    It's a horrible story, and like you said an awful decision for the parents. But the doctors failed to stop the suffering of the baby, they should be prosecuted.

    They should, that should not happen, ever. As I said, they are supposed to stop the babies heart before inducing labour so there is no way the baby is born alive. And then some serious checks.

    It's disgusting that it has happened.

    Yeah, I spoke to a few ladies who made that decision and the one thing they all worried about was if the baby would know or feel pain. It's not a decision you take lightly and you want it to be as quick and pain free for the baby as possible. Very very sad.

    Thanks - yeah the MP is definitely the next step if the council refuse to increase my banding after 2 HV letters, a GP letter, and a very amazing letter from my distance counsellor ;):D:D

    The website has been updated and there's about 4 houses i'm allowed to bid on. And i'd rather live in a cardboard box than in any of those drug filled chavvy disgusting areas :mad: There's only 3 or so areas i'd absolutely refuse to live in, but those are the houses that come up often. Whereas they should put the chavvy idiots i live next door to in those areas cos they'd fit in!!!
    They should totally do a chavometer test and put them all in the same area.

    I contacted my MP once when i was being harrassed by some silly woman in my street and her scummy kids. The whole family was so bad that even the police refused to approach them cos they knew i'd get my windows smashed that night.

    Eventually she got her bf to try and set my house alight through the letterbox, it melted the doormat and curtain but didn't spread and just fizzled out. I was in bed and had got up for work and found my door in a mess.

    Council offered me a place in the roughest most isolated from everything place in town, and i declined stating as a single parent working full time, i'd feel in danger of my child, mysef and my possessions. The MP said they'd carried out their duty of offering me something else, so nothing he could do!!! Even though he agreed the area they offered was not suitable for someone like me!!!

    I have had a lot of crap here in the 7 years i've been here. Just want a fresh start.

    The partial birth abortions are far more barbaric but quicker!!.. though there is no chance of survival there. I couldn't believe any civilised society would actually allow this to happen.. absolutely evil. Saline abortions like this leave babies horribly burned.. and they die in agony.. this is why saline is now also injected into the brain through the fontanelle.. they reckon if they fry the brain the baby can't feel anything so it doesn't matter how horribly they die, or don't! they had so many born alive they decided to use this as an extra 'safeguard' against live births. In China they inject formaldehyde into the brain.. that doesn't always work either.
