Italian Doctors: Abortion Survivors must be given Care, Even Against Mother’s Wishes

The declaration, made by doctors at the obstetric clinics of La Sapienza, Tor Vergata, Campus Biomedico and Sacro Cuore, represent both the secular and religious sides of the Italian university system. The first two universities are public, and the second two are Catholic.
“An extremely premature newborn must be treated like any other person in danger, and assisted adequately,” said Domenico Arduni, director of the Tor Vergata gynecological clinic.
Arduini added that this principle would hold even if the child had survived an abortion, and “even if the mother is not in agreement.”
The four physicians issued the statement together during a meeting at Fatebenefratelli hospital in Rome last Saturday. According to the Spanish publication El Pais, the doctors’ declaration and the Vatican’s recent campaign for a “moratorium” on abortion in Italy (which has now become a global campaign), “has fallen like a bomb among scientists and politicians.”
Emma Bonino, the Italian Minister of European Policy, complained to El Pais that “the political class should not allow others to set their agenda.” The Italian health minister, Livia Turco, told the publication that protecting the life of such children was “senseless cruelty.” A prominent physician reportedly suggested that abortions be done by poisoning the baby with potassium chloride, thus ensuring his death before exiting the womb.
However, the ANSA news agency reports that the liberal bioethicist Cinzia Caporale has endorsed the physicians’ declaration, stating that while she is in favor of allowing euthanasia for adults who want it, children who leave the womb alive should be cared for, even against the will of the parents. “I don’t even consider their consent necessary if the fetus has survived an abortion,” she said.

Hey Job,
I wanted to ask you a question about an issue. This is in regard to those “Christians” that protest the soldier’s funerals and say that God is against them. What do you think?

Westboro Baptist Church, the group that engages in this behavior, has departed from sound Biblical doctrine in this matter and in many others, especially when they claim that homosexuals cannot be saved. However, Westboro Baptist Church is but one of many that has departed from what the Bible teaches. It is just that the way of their departure is more offensive and sensational than the way that others do so. Their apostasy and heresy is more offensive to man, but the other forms of apostasy and heresy are just as offensive to God. What are your opinions? Thank you.

Do you think that they are violating scripture?

Sorry for basically reposting the same thing. I want to say that I saw a video on youtube: http://youtube.com/watch?v=MOxEa4mkPik
That is the link. This video was an episode of the Hannity and Colmes show. Well in this particular show a woman from some Baptist Church was on and she was defending what her members were doing. Job I respect your opinion. That is why I wanted to ask you. I was looking for videos of bias against Christianity in the media. I am writing a paper for my Media Literature Class.
