But indications suggest that may be changing
By Cheryl Sullenger
Kansas City, MO — A 20-year old McDonald’s employee attempted to flush her newborn baby down the toilet at the Kansas City restaurant where she worked after she unexpectedly gave birth to a 32-week baby boy on Monday.
She told shocked co-workers that she had “flushed three times but that it would not go down.”
Fortunately, paramedics arrived in time to resuscitate the baby, who was discovered face down in the toilet water not breathing and without a pulse. The little boy is doing well and expected to recover completely.
It is possible that the woman could face criminal charges for attempting to harm her baby – but then again, she may not.
This is evidence of a society that continues to be unconcerned about the criminal activity of Dr. George Tiller – a Wichita, Kansas abortionist who continues to perform illegal late term abortions on viable babies — babies similar in age to the victim in the McDonalds incident.
Take the example of a woman named Kelly, who told the story of her abortion on The O’Reilly Factor news program last December. Kelly’s abortion took place at Tiller’s infamous late-term abortion mill in Wichita at 20 weeks. She was sent into premature labor then taken to a room to deliver her dead child.
“In this other room there is basically a toilet, and they told me to sit on the toilet, lean on the nurse and push — push my baby into a toilet,” Kelly told a national television audience.
When asked what happened to the baby’s body she replied, “I have no idea. I left my baby dead in a toilet.” (Click here to view Kelly’s entire interview.)
So perhaps we should not be shocked by today’s headline of a woman who did the same thing to her baby in a McDonalds restroom stall. Life doesn’t seem to mean as much to people as it once did, when an attempted cold, callous murder of a newborn infant would have stirred public outrage and, without question, merited a long prison term.
There is some evidence, however, that the hearts of people are beginning to stir, and there are some indications that attitudes may be changing about the acceptance of late abortions. This is true particularly in Kansas, where Tiller is facing 19 years in jail for committing illegal late-term abortions on viable babies, some about as old as the young McDonald’s worker’s son. An interim committee of the Kansas Legislature will convene on Friday to consider late-abortions and their impact on Kansas and the nation.
Maybe, just maybe, this Midwestern state will just say no to killing babies in the later stages of pregnancy and aggressively enforce their existing laws banning abortions after viability. This would send a message to our nation’s calloused conscience that pre-born babies have infinitely greater value than the contents of a toilet bowl.
“The law is not there simply to punish wrong-doing. It is there to teach and train people the difference between right and wrong. Our laws have let us down when it comes to protecting innocent children in the womb – but that can change,” said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman, who has spent the past five years publicly exposing Tiller’s late-term abortion business.
“Kansas can set an example that will help teach people the value of life,” said Newman. But one thing is sure. If we continue to embrace abortion as a nation, we can only expect to see more toilet babies. That is a tragedy that we, as a society, cannot continue to bear.”
To those who animate our culture of death– e.g., Paul Morrison, Kathleen Sebelius, Barak Obama, Hillary Clinton, Al Gore– all babies are disposable. What purpose can they possibly serve? After all, they can’t cast a vote for a Democrat!
Can anyone confirm whether the ‘motel’ mentioned in the video was the LaQuinta Inn?
To Steven:
Yes, it was the La Quinta Inn, but because of Operation Rescue’s work documenting Tiller’s use of the hotel and presenting that documentation to the hotel’s corporate office, the hotel terminated its relationship with Tiller.

By the way, that hotel with all it’s horrific memories, including the tragic botched abortion and death of Christin Gilbert, has been torn down to make way for a wider highway.
In regards to the 20 yr. old girl who tried to flush her baby down the toilet, this is so reprehensible that I can’t even find the words to describe this deplorable atrocity! As long as women have a cold and callous attitude towards the life they conceive, we will have abortionists. The heart of the problem is with women indulging in meaningless sexual relations with men who are not dependable and who have no caring for the women. In most of the situations, the woman feels alone and unsupported. Disregarding this fact, what would make a woman give birth to a baby and try to flush it down a toilet? This represents the attitude of many of those who seek abortions. Unless we address this contempt for life and the logic behind this lack of a mothering instinct which is basic to care for the young., we will continue to supply the abortionist with business. It is unnatural for a woman to want to kill her child. What bizarre emotion would propel a young girl to want to see her very own child be flushed down a toilet? Maybe instead of teaching birth control and sexuality in school, we should teach the sacredness of life. As mothers, we need to ask ourselves what we can do to educate our daughters to value their bodies and develop their self esteem. Helping our daughters establish goals for their lives would be a start. As families, we should stick together in supervising and encouraging our young people. Too many are left alone while mom works and dad is not part of the picture. As a result problems ensue. I know this is easier said than done. I am just astounded by what this girl did in trying to flush her own baby down a toilet and feel this lack of compassion and indifference to life is a contagious belief system which is prevalent among a culture built upon selfishness and immorality. We all make mistakes in our younger days and follow inclinations which prove unwise, but to continue a lifestyle or to involve oneself in a criminal act such as trying to kill ones own baby is beyond my comprehension. As a nurse, I am always thinking of a “Plan of Care” to prevent problems or to enhance positive results. This situation is so shocking that I felt compelled to speak out on prevention. We must make every attempt to support, encourage, and assist any girl who is pregnant and reassure her that the life she carries is precious in God’s sight. The stigma of being an unwed mother and raising a child alone has to be done away with if we are going to save these babies! Repentence can come later. We must love them into the arms of God. With love and support, maybe we can end abortion and child abuse. It is frightening to be so vulnerable at a time when you most need help. That may be the reason women choose negative alternatives. “Dear God, please give us the insight into how to help our mothers to cherish the lives they carry within and give us a special love to bring them to the throne of grace for acceptance, forgiveness, and strength to bear their burdens. Amen”
The toliet has been quite a symbol, in our nation over the past couple of weeks. The Mayor of Ft. Lauderdale is attempting to stop sodomy in public restrooms, and the sodomites are exhibiting “gay rage”. They don’t want to give up the public restrooms for their anonymous sexcapades. If given the chance, they will throw Mayor Naugle to the lions. And then we have a mother deliver her child in a toliet, try to drown it , and the public is aghast. Yet, we have abortionists, who will fight to the death, to have women exercise their “freedom of choice” to deliver dead children in their abortion clinic toliets. Talk about a country who is pshco!
To Alayna
I do not know if you are the nurse, who shared your life story with me at the pizza buffet Troy invited us to enjoy the last day of “A Cry for Justice” in January, or a different person. I agree so very much with your comment, Alayna. Amen, and amen!!
This week on the feast of St Monica, the mother of St Augustine, we have a mother try to flush her helpless newborn down a toilet at a McDonalds. An animal wouldn’t have this total lack of maternal instinct. Women today have zero respect for their own bodies, so how can we expect them to have any more for their off spring? But what I don’t understand is why if this child like many others has a biological “father”, and nothing is mentioned of his responsibility in situation.?. He is just as guilty, by association as the mother. In my opinion I make no excuse for the father of this child, as with others in simular situations,and we need to start drilling this into men’s brains. You’ll find when the morals of women go down, so does your country.
nearly everyone would look at an infant and have compassion for it. and yet there is a growing number of people who have no compassion period. if you can look at a helpless, shivering infant that you just delivered and try to flush it down a toilet…what compassion could you possibly have for any adult in our society? I mean, sheesh, I feel horrible when I flush a bug down the toilet…its really scary to think my son is growing up in a world of cold hearted wretches like this.
We can all “thank” the feminists for the cheapening and disposability of life rampant in todays society…as well as the MEN who refuse to stand up and fight it.
I fear for the state of this country when my nieces and nephews get older.
this is absolutely horrifying abortion should not even be legal if your adult enough to lay down and do the crime then you better make sure your adult enough to do the time just in case you do get pregnant..there are sooo many birth controls out there theese days and yeah you hear about women getting pregnant on birth control but teh way i see it is you should research it and honestly if your that worried about getting pregnant and you really dont want to have a baby then my advice to you is keep your legs closed. cause if your not having sex then there isnt any way you could get pregnant..
