“Call 911,” Angele screamed from the abortion clinic bathroom. Her son had been born alive. But despite seeing her still moving and very much alive child, clinic workers let the child die … and even turned away the paramedics her friend had called during a frantic 911 call, the recording of which we have in our possession. I was contacted by Angele and will never forget my visit to the morgue in Orlando, Florida.

Last week, the U.S. House of Representatives passed HR 26 — the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act. If this measure passes the Senate, it will REQUIRE that all children who survive an abortion receive proper medical care and a shot at life. If HR 26 passes the Senate, post-birth abortion will finally be a federal crime. Read on to learn more about Baby Rowan and how you and I can prevent such travesties from happening. — Mat

The EPOC Center of Orlando, Florida, website claims the EPOC treats the women who enter its doors with “respect and compassion.” But when Angele gave birth to a healthy baby boy, the abortion clinic refused medical treatment for the child. The clinic had induced delivery to abort the child.

The contractions began earlier than expected, and Angele returned later in the day. With no help, she delivered the baby while sitting on a commode. When Angele saw her son, she immediately changed her mind and realized she had made a terrible decision.

Her screams for help were ignored. The clinic refused to call an ambulance, and when one arrived anyway thanks to her friend’s 911 call, clinic workers LIED to paramedics, claiming everything was under control. Meeting the paramedics outside the clinic, they convinced them to drive on and not enter the building.

Meanwhile, abortion center assistants left Angele closed in a dirty bathroom where she tried desperately to use her hands and a blue pad to try to keep Baby Rowan warm.

“I continued to try to caress and comfort my son by rubbing his back, tummy and chest. I stroked his precious little head and kept telling him I loved him and we would be OK. I was afraid to move him because I did not want to do anything that might end up hurting him.”

“I pushed my pinky into his little hand and his fingers curled around me. Still no one was coming. I was terrified but trying not to let him know I was scared. I kept telling him what a beautiful son he was and that we were going to be safe soon.”

But Rowan was not going to be safe as his mother hoped.

Because the clinic withheld lifesaving assistance and refused to allow the paramedics entrance, Baby Rowan slowly died in his mother’s arms.

“I felt so bad. I felt so helpless. I had been so wrong to come here. ... I wanted to fix and change everything once I saw Rowan’s precious little face and body. All we needed was someone to get us to safety,” Angele said.

I will never forget my visit to the morgue where Baby Rowan was in a shoe box in a morgue drawer. I came face to face with the evil that had sent him there. Baby Rowan was perfectly formed. He had not been poisoned and was fully intact.

I cannot remain silent because what I experienced that day happens every day in America. This evil must end. We can — and we must — STOP this evil.

Last week, Rep. Hillary Scholten (D-MI) twisted scripture to justify her vote against medical care for abortion survivors.

“When I read scripture,” Scholten announced from the House podium, “I turn to Jeremiah 1:5 which states 'I knew you before I formed you and placed you in your mother's womb.’”

But then Scholten tried to add a fallacious caveat to God’s Word, noting that the scripture “doesn't say ‘the government's womb.’" Scholten voted for infanticide that day.

Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) also spoke on the House floor in favor of infanticide, and his comments made even less sense than Rep. Scholten’s twisted take on scripture. Nadler admitted that providing care to a newborn “may be the right thing to do for the health and survival of that infant,” but then said, “That is the problem with this bill.” NO! That’s the problem with Jerry Nadler and his twisted death cult!

Providing lifesaving care to a baby born alive “may be the right thing to do,” he said, but since the baby was intended to be killed by abortion, he finds that to be “the problem.” Unbelievable!

When the roll was taken, Nadler and Scholten both voted to let the children die. Thankfully, however, one House Democrat voted yes and another voted present with the Republicans, and HR 26 passed the House.

Now it is time for us to force this lifesaving measure through the Senate as well. Please take a moment right now to fax the Senate.

YOUR FAXES inform the senators about the real-life everyday evil of abortion even as they pressure senators to do the will of the people. Please, take a moment right now and demand our Senators LET THE CHILDREN LIVE.

In legal news … This week, Liberty Counsel will defend Sandra Merritt in a pre-trial conference for Sandra’s criminal trial in California. Sandra faces 10 years in prison for exposing Planned Parenthood’s gruesome human organ trafficking scheme, in which they birthed live babies and dissected those children ALIVE so the abortion giant could receive higher payments from organ procurement companies.

Sandra’s defense has been the most expensive case in Liberty Counsel history. Thankfully, a generous Challenge Grant has been established to fund our legal work in 2023. Give today and have YOUR IMPACT DOUBLED by the Challenge Grant.
