Most Teen Pregnancies in the UK end in Abortion

Disturbing news from the UK:

Most pregnancies among girls under 18 ended in abortion last year. 

Out of around 40,000 pregnancies more than 20,000 were terminated – the first time more had chosen this option than become mothers.

The figure is higher than 2007, when it just hit 50 per cent, and consistent with a steady upwards trend since the Government started its controversial Teenage Pregnancy Strategy in 1999.

Figures out on May 21 will also show that for the first time the number of abortions performed on women living in England and Wales topped 200,000.

The teenage pregnancy strategy, which has cost taxpayers more than £300million, was meant to halve the number of conceptions among girls under 18 in England between 1998 and 2010.

Baby Born Alive; Allowed to Die in Botched Abortion (Florida)

There’s a new story coming from Florida, USA.  A young woman decided to have a late-term abortion.  The doctor gave her the normal prescription drugs to induce labor and instructed her to meet him at a clinic the following day.  She did go into labor the next day, but the doctor was late.  The baby was born before he could tear it apart inside her womb (the normal process of a late-term abortion).  The young woman saw the baby struggling to breathe, but it was put in a plastic back and thown away like a piece of garbage by staff members at the clinic.

This just breaks my heart.  Here’s my question:  what’s the difference between killing a baby inside the womb and killing one outside the womb?
