I doubt that there are any pro-choice women who aren't horrified by the actions of the doctor and the clinic owner. In most states doctors are required by law to take care of a premature infant, even if that infant is born prematurely as the result of a botched abortion. But Gonzalez's actions are exactly the sort of thing the anti-abortion movement accuses clinic workers of all the time — operating "abortion mills" without regards for the women they care for or the "pre-born children" they are supposedly destroying.  
 
If Williams' cooperation with the anti-abortion movement is any indication, Renelique and Gonzalez have created yet another woman like Norma McCorvey who, although once pro-choice, is now a staunch and somewhat effective anti-abortion advocate. Unlike McCorvey, however, Williams will come complete with a story of how she watched her living infant slaughtered in front of her by an "abortionist" with no regard for her or her child. And although the pro-choice movement is going to have to take this one lying down, we're all horrified on her behalf.
 
[SNIP] [Williams] concluded she didn't have the resources or maturity to raise a child, he said, and went to the Miramar Women's Center on July 17, 2006. Sonograms indicated she was 23 weeks pregnant, according to the Department of Health. She met [Dr. Pierre Jean-Jacque Renelique] at a second clinic two days later.
 
Renelique gave Williams laminaria, a drug that dilates the cervix, and prescribed three other medications, according to the administrative complaint filed by the Health Department. She was told to go to yet another clinic, A Gyn Diagnostic Center in Hialeah, where the procedure would be performed the next day, on July 20, 2006.
 
Williams arrived in the morning and was given more medication.
 
The Department of Health account continues as follows: Just before noon she began to feel ill. The clinic contacted Renelique. Two hours later, he still hadn't shown up. Williams went into labor and delivered the baby.
 
"She came face to face with a human being," [Tom Pennekamp, Williams' lawyer] said. "And that changed everything."
 
The complaint [to the medical board] says one of the clinic owners, Belkis Gonzalez came in and cut the umbilical cord with scissors, then placed the baby in a plastic bag, and the bag in a trash can.
 
Williams' lawsuit offers a cruder account: She says Gonzalez knocked the baby off the recliner chair where she had given birth, onto the floor. The baby's umbilical cord was not clamped, allowing her to bleed out. Gonzalez scooped the baby, placenta and afterbirth into a red plastic biohazard bag and threw it out. [SNIP]

"Abortion mills" is probably a bad term, agreed. Mills at least typically create something, after all...
 
"Supposedly" ? LOL  
 
It never ceases to amaze me the way that pro-choicers will utterly butcher the English language in order to defend their stance.  
 
Yeah... those pre-born children are not "destroyed". They're simply... uh... they're simply... they're simply being made inanimate! There ya go! There's another good callous euphemism for the pro-choice side...  

People like this doctor should be arrested and given the death penalty. There's not excuse for this sort of behavior, whatever the law states.
