This is exactly why I'm pro-life

Not because of any religious affiliation. I've never gone to church and while I think there is a God, or at least some higher power, I don't exactly worship anyone or anything. I'm pro-life because I think it is cruel. Especially when I hear stories like this.

The mother, pregnant for the first time, had opted for an abortion after prenatal scans suggested that her baby was disabled

However, the infant survived the procedure, carried out on Saturday in the Rossano Calabro hospital, and was left by doctors to die.

He was discovered alive the following day – some 20 hours after the operation – by Father Antonio Martello, the hospital chaplain, who had gone to pray beside his body.

He found that the baby, wrapped in a sheet with his umbilical cord still attached, was moving and breathing.

The priest raised the alarm and doctors immediately arranged for the infant to be taken to a specialist neo-natal unit at the neighbouring Cosenza hospital, where he died on Monday morning.

Italian police are investigating the case for "homicide" because infanticide is illegal in Italy.

The law means that doctors have had an obligation to try to preserve the life of the child once he had survived the abortion.

I know the Feminazi's will say this is no big deal and abortion of demand is all that matters. But how can any sane person say this isn't cruel?
