Three days later, she sat in a reclining chair, medicated to dilate her cervix and otherwise get her ready for the procedure.
Only Renelique didn't arrive in time. According to Williams and the Florida Department of Health, she went into labor and delivered a live baby girl.
What Williams and the Health Department say happened next has shocked people on both sides of the abortion debate: One of the clinic's owners, who has no medical license, cut the infant's umbilical cord. Williams says the woman placed the baby in a plastic biohazard bag and threw it out.Police recovered the decomposing remains in a cardboard box a week later after getting anonymous tips.
"I don't care what your politics are, what your morals are, this should not be happening in our community," said Tom Pennekamp, a Miami attorney representing Williams in her lawsuit against Renelique (ren-uh-LEEK') and the clinic owners.
The state Board of Medicine is to hear Renelique's case in Tampa on Friday and determine whether to strip his license. The state attorney's homicide division is investigating, though no charges have been filed. Terry Chavez, a spokeswoman with the Miami-Dade County State Attorney's Office, said this week that prosecutors were nearing a decision.
...The case has riled the anti-abortion community, which contends the clinic's actions constitute murder.
Doctor loses license in live birth abortion caseMIAMI, Florida (CNN) — A doctor’s license was revoked Friday in the case of a teenager who planned to have an abortion but instead gave birth to a baby she says was killed when clinic staffers put it into a plastic bag and threw it in the trash.
The doctor, Pierre Jean-Jacques Renelique, was not present when the baby was born, but the Florida Medical Board upheld Department of Health allegations that he falsified medical records, inappropriately delegated tasks to unlicensed personnel and committed malpractice…

Multiple Births 'Changing Our World'
"Iatrogenic" refers to a treatment for one medical problem that creates a new medical problem. In this case, treatment for infertility necessitates treatment for a high-risk pregnancy.
"It has all the hallmarks of an epidemic," says Louis Keith, cofounder of the Center for Study of Multiple Birth, and himself a monozygotic, or identical, twin. "So many of them are neurologically and physically damaged."
The full impact of conceiving multiples is rarely understood in advance. A study done by the March of Dimes found that only 35 percent of the American public appreciates the severe risks posed by prematurity. But the statistics are cold and unforgiving. Fifty percent of twins are born prematurely. Ninety percent of triplets are premature, as are virtually all quads and quintuplets. Depending on how premature they are, these children's lungs are often immature and undeveloped, so they cannot breathe unaided. They are hooked up to ventilators, machines that breathe for them, which sometimes scar the lungs so the children will for the rest of their lives be prone to asthma, pneumonia, chronic lung disease, and other respiratory problems. The brain is another vulnerable area: its many folds and creases often have not been fully laid down, and insulating fiber has not formed over developing nerve fibers. As a result, premature babies are susceptible to brain hemorrhages, and to later brain-related developmental problems, including learning disabilities.
"All their organs are premature," explains the perinatal nurse. "You have complications of every organ. There's growth and development issues, feeding issues, developmental delays. A lot of these babies have reflux. Also, there's eye changes, retinopathy; some of these babies will lose peripheral vision. Any organ, when the baby is born preterm, is immature. The brain, lung, GI tract, eyes." Infection is also a constant danger, both after birth and as they grow.
As a result of prematurity and its frequent companion, low birth weight, twins are six times more likely to suffer from cerebral palsy than singletons. Triplets are twenty times more likely to suffer from CP, which in this country is becoming more common even though a traditional major cause of cerebral palsy, jaundice in newborns, has been all but eliminated. "We got rid of one major group of cerebral palsy, just to be afflicted with another," says Carl Gunderson, deputy director of the United Cerebral Palsy Research and Education Foundation.
casper what do you think about abortion?
The child was more than likely dead when the clinic owner disposed of it. I baby born before 24 weeks has just about 0% viability. The lungs are still solid and the long term effects astronimical. I know because I had a preterm labor at 22 weeks and gave birth to a little boy.
It did make for "choice" bibtard drama though!!!
The very thought of "infanticide", as Shanice's little unfinished lungs struggled to breathe, yadda, yadda, yadda, yadda, yadda...., been sold that imagination-capturing snake oil from many a pulpit lo these many long years of watching irresponsible and self-serving pimps move the bibtard crowd.
I'm just glad that gifted physicians like Dr. Tiller embody both the clinical and moral discipline to see to the well-being of full-born women with unwanted pregnancies despite the recurring violence, harassment and relentless legal and political pressure emanating from the restive bibtard fringe.
"The first recorded evidence of induced abortion, is from the Egyptian Ebers Papyrus in 1550 BC.[3] A Chinese record documents the number of royal concubines who had abortions in China between the years 500 and 515 BC.[4] According to Chinese folklore, the legendary Emperor Shennong prescribed the use of mercury to induce abortions nearly 5000 years ago.[5]"
Who knows the life of an unwanted child ?! The prisons are filled with them!
