Child Born Alive After a Botched Abortion at a Florida Clinic; Mother Seeks Second Opinion of Autopsy
WASHINGTON, May 19 /Christian Wire Service/ — Attorney, Brian Chavez-Ochoa, who is now representing the mother calls the autopsy performed by the Orange County Medical examiner “…incomplete, inadequate and inconclusive. That is why we seeking a review and a second opinion.”
Mr. Chavez-Ochoa is exploring several legal remedies including a federal lawsuit and potential criminal charges. He is also working with the State of Florida and federal officials.
Workers at the EPOC clinic, in Orlando Florida, refused to call 911 after the mother reported her son was born alive. Baby Rowan was 22 weeks old. The clinic also turned away first responders after a friend called 911 on the mother’s behalf.
National pro-life groups such as the Christian Defense Coalition and Operation Rescue are working closely with Mr. Chavez-Ochoa and Rowan’s mother. They are calling for a criminal investigation and for prosecution under the federal “Born Alive Infant Protection Act.”

It’s so sad hearing about children born alive, I mean it’s one thing to murder a child when you can’t see it but to deliver a baby, see it’s face and then murder it, you’d have to be a ruthless killer to do that. Sadly our nation is so brainwashed that they don’t even realize that abortion is wrong, let alone murder. It’s good to hear that the abortion clinic is being prosecuted nevertheless. It’d be wonderful if they were shut down because of this.

Unfortunately, while we’re here on this earth we will continue to see more and more blatant murders of the unborn. Our only hope is truly in Jesus Christ and His sure judgments for these babies and also for those who continue to kill with seared/no consciences! How utterly depraved…yet how can anyone have any sense of morality without a true sense and fear of the Living God?! SO U T T E R L Y and D E E P L Y
S A D!!! We know our God is watching and grieving and with those of us who stand with HIM.

Abortion IS murder! Those women who agree and campaign are stuck up and arrogant die hard feminists. Abortionist and abortees should be executed by lethal injection. I WILL end abortions one day, I WILL bring justice to the children by punishing their killer. Fight hard to end CHILD MURDER! In a few years, the UK parliament will start authorising the execution of abortionist, I will see to that. God willing.

God willing this story will awaken people to what goes on in the corner abortuary. It’s amazing how many people cling to the lie that abortion is only legal up to 12 weeks!

ABORTION=COLD BLOODED MURDER, no matter what excuse or words you may use to define it. Their is absolutely no excuse to murder an innocent child. The media and all the pro choice groups have worked hard to promote the idea that woman should have a choice because its their bodies etc….but ultimately the end result is MURDER. If these women/men are capable of killing their own children my question is this. What other terrible horrific things are they capable of doing giving the opportunity?

I used to be SO pro-life, I used to side walk counsel…ive prayed about this alot, but for some reason it seems as if I am slipping to more of a pro-choicer…and I HATE IT because I KNOW that it is ending a childs life, I KNOW what it is…I just feel like the more and more I got pro-life and deeper within my christian faith, the more and more i felt the devil pulled me to the point where I am just in the middle. Not Pro-Choice OR Pro-life I am mixed…PLEASE pray for me that the Lord will guide me back. Thank You.
