From My Fox Colorado, March 3:

Commerce City Police are investigating the discovery of a fetus at a wastewater treatment plant....

A routine walk-through by a plant operator turned up a sad discovery... found amidst piles of garbage and human waste....

"Based on the size, we guess, it's was somewhere in the second trimester, somewhere between 4 to 6 months," says Commerce City police officer, Lanissa Blevens.

Police suspect it was most likely flushed....

But police say they may have a possible suspect. And what charges she faces for discarding her fetus, depends on whether it was capable of living outside the womb.

"If it wasn't viable, we're looking at charges of abuse of a corpse, to possible concealment of death," says Blevens.

If it was viable, the charges are much more severe, including possible homicide....

How can "it" be a "corpse"? Moreover, how can a blob of tissue be a "corpse"? But I digress.

Pro-abort responses to yesterday's post, "Caskets for miscarried babies," disgusted even me, and I have a high tolerance for ignorance. I awakened this morning to thoughts of those crude, cruel comments and decided to delete the lot of them. But alas, so many had already responded, I had to leave them on pathetic display.

I asked commenter and miscarriage expert Sandy to compose her thoughts on all this. Here they are....

The big secret is women deliver miscarried babies in homes, cars, workplaces, hotels, stores, on airplanes, and wherever and whenever a woman's body decides to take action and naturally end a pregnancy.

With regret many women flush their babies down the toilet because they are afraid and don't know what else to do, because they have never been informed what else to do.

Without knowing how this baby wound up in a sewage plant, one can only assume she was put there because the pro-choice movement dictated it....

They want the miscarriage experience to be kept hush, hush. They don't want pregnancy loss and grief brought to the fore. The pro-choice movement has fought legislation to address issues of disposition.

With few exceptions, there are no laws or medical standards of care regulating the disposition of miscarried babies. Families are left on their own to discern how best to dispose of their babies' remains. Hospitals routinely throw away babies as medical waste without parental knowledge if a D&C or induction has been performed.

Welcome, Heaven's Gain, which provides a much needed service to families who want more options other than to toss a baby down a sewage plant.

As proven on the thread last night; and right on cue, the pro-choice movement steps in to disparage anyone trying to assist these families with CHOICES on how to care for the baby they lost.

Pro-choicers accuse this man of being a scam artist by taking advantage of people's misfortune. But in their usual bad fashion, PCers steadfastly support those profiteering from desperate women getting abortions, including abortionists, medical personnel, contractors, medical suppliers, utility companies, waste disposal companies etc.

The service Heaven's Gain provides will help those who seek out a burial for their little ones. About 20% of all pregnancies end in miscarriage. About 25% of all women experience a pregnancy loss. In the U.S. there are just under 1 million miscarriages each year. Kudos to Heaven's Gain for filling a much needed void.

Here's a thought. Pro-choicers claiming to support women with whatever they decide is best for them, should make donations to Heaven's Gain this year instead of Planned Parenthood. If they truly supported CHOICE, they would, to offer affordable or even free burial caskets for those families who make the CHOICE to bury their baby.

UPDATE, 5:15p: From the Denver Post, March 4:

The Adams County coroner's office has determined that a fetus found in a Commerce City sewage plant filter was a boy 15 to 17 weeks old....

Authorities still do not know exactly how the baby died or whether it was viable outside the womb. An autopsy with specialized tests could determine whether the baby died from a miscarriage or an abortion when its completed in four to six weeks....

Earlier in the day Commerce City police were still looking for a woman they think might be the mother....

A 911 call led police to the woman, whom police have not identified. Police are investigating a number of possible scenarios, some of which could constitute a crime....

Steve Frank, spokesman for Metro Wastewater Reclamation District, said the fetus was caught in a screen that normally snags cell phones, toys and other large items that wind up in toilets.

He said this was not the first time the plant has made such a discovery.

"It's not common, but it happens often enough that it's not uncommon," he said.

My guess? The mom was in the midst of an induced labor abortion, delivered a live baby at home, panicked, and called 911.

I have received a series of emails from a man who tried to correspond with Fr. Michael Pfleger on his support of Obama for president....

Pfleger is an infamous Chicago Catholic priest, a white guy pastoring at a south side black church, St. Sabina's. No one can touch Pflger because his people there love him and because he does do some good.

But Pfleger is a bold-faced liberal who clearly identifies with blacks more than God or his church.

In 2003 I was part of a pro-life picket when Pfleger invited pro-abort Al Sharpton to speak from the pulpit during Mass one Sunday.

Last year Pfleger had Louis Farrakhan in to speak.

Also last year Pfleger, while demontrating outside a Chicago gun shop with Jesse Jackson, threatened, "We're going to snuff out [shop owner] John Riggio. We're going to snuff out legislators that are voting against our gun laws." He got in trouble for that one.

And no surprise, Pfleger supports Obama and has for a long time. He said last January, "I think Barack Obama is in a class of his own. I think he is the best thing that has come across the political scene since Bobby Kennedy...."

As you can see above, Pfleger has also contributed to Obama. And here was his response when my email friend wrote him about Obama's support of live birth abortion among many other afronts to the Bible:

Incredible.

The National Day of Appreciation for Abortion Providers is just around the corner - March 10 - but it appears I'm the only one celebrating this year.

Not one national abortion website is showcasing this exciting holiday. Popularity may be dwindling because it is so difficult to show appreciation to abortionists. Heroin and child porn are two of those hard to find gifts.

Despite the abortion industry's diss, I will do my part to honor these special shop choppers with my 4th annual Abortionist of the Year award.

This year's gang is exceptional. I am reminded of the 1967 Academy Awards, when The Graduate, Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?, Cool Hand Luke, Dr. Dolittle, In Cold Blood, In the Heat of the Night, Camelot and Bonnie & Clyde all competed for Oscars. How do you choose?

Of course, abortionists would pick In Cold Blood, but I digress. Here are the nominees, in alpha order to be fair...

Story backdrop 1st (see sources here, here, and here for corroboration):

On July 20, 2006, a baby was allegedly aborted alive at A Gyn Diagnostic Center in Hialeah, FL.

At least 2 witnesses saw clinic owner Belkis Gonzalez (pictured below left) cut the potentially viable (~23 weeks gestation) baby's cord and put the baby in a biohazard bag with bleach inside.

An anonymous caller tipped off police, who searched the scene but could not find the dead baby. Nine days later the source called again, saying workers put the baby on the mill's roof before the search but had now retrieved it. Police recovered the decomposed baby. The DNA matched her mother's.

The Miami-Dade medical examiner, however, ruled the death "natural," due to "extreme prematurity," since no one could know exactly why she died. (This showed gross prejudice. If someone put a plastic bag with bleach inside over the head of a 94-year-old woman who was dying anyway, would the bagger still not be credited with murder?)

The mother, who experienced a change of heart at her baby's delivery, hired the Thomas More Society, a pro-life law firm, to pursue a civil case. After a long delay, prosecutors handed the baby over for a 2nd autopsy.

This brings us 2 pieces of breaking news....

1. Two sources have confirmed to me that the FL Department of Health is pursuing revoking abortionist Pierre Renelique's medical license. Clinic workers called Renelique to complete this abortion, but he never showed.

2. The 2nd autopsy results, by pathologist Abdullah Fatteh, are in and follow. Based on these results, I am told the state attorney plans to approach Miami-Dade medical examiner, Bruce Hyma, and ask whether he would like to amend his report. Numbers 7 and 10 point to manslaughter.

Dr. Abdullah Fatteh's autopsy report

My investigation consisted of:

A) Detailed interview of mother of newborn.

B) Review of autopsy report on baby from Miami Dade Medical Examiner.

C) Examination of microscopic slides prepared by medical examiner.

D) Review of submitted records.

I submit the following analysis, observations and conclusions based on my examination of above materials.

COMMENTS AND CONCLUSIONS:

Based on the information detailed above the following conclusions are, in my opinion, justified:

1. The clinic allowed unlicensed staff to perform abortion.

2. The clinic failed to dispose of fetal remains in sanitary and appropriate manner

3. The newborn was born alive.

4. Unlicensed clinic staff cut the umbilical cord.

5. The clinic physician was not at the clinic when delivery occured.

6. The clinic staff was in panic state when delivery occured.

7. The actions of unlicensed clinic staff probably accelerated and/or contributed to the death of the newborn.

8. The body of the deceased was decomposed by the time the first autopsy was performed nine days after delivery.

9. A second autopsy, most likely, will not yield any reliable information.

10. It is most likely that neglectful actions around the time of birth of newborn and prematurity were the significant factors that resulted in this newborn's death.

Sincerely yours,

Abdullah Fatteh, M.D., Ph.D., l.L.B.
Pathologist
