Ché Infamia!!!!!

It disgusts me that abortion is even legal in my ancestoral homeland of Italia. & that this happenned is even more disgusting. This article from LifeSite News shows the ugly truth about the selfishness that is a hugh componant of the abortion industry (Eugenics is the other.) .
Mother returns and has Down syndrome child aborted
By Elizabeth O'Brien MILAN, Italy, August 27, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) - A fierce abortion debate has erupted in Italy after a mother pregnant with twins reported doctors to the authorities for aborting her healthy unborn baby while leaving the handicapped one alive.
Italian news agencies recently discovered that a hospital killed the "wrong" child in a pair of unborn twins in June. According to media reports, after the 38-year old woman discovered the so-called "mistake", she returned and had the second one, who was suffering from Down syndrome, aborted. She then reported medical staff, who are currently under investigation by the police.
The hospital termed the child's death a "misfortune," saying that the twins had switched places in between a previous ultrasound and the actual abortion. The woman was eighteen weeks pregnant when the children were aborted.
Calling on the Italian Health Minister to investigate the affair, leading Christian Democrat Luca Volonte decried the abortion as "infanticide arising from a contempt for human life," the Guardian Unlimited reports.
Senator Paolo Binetti, who is close to the Vatican says Inquirer.net, wrote in Italy's Corriere della Sera newspaper, "The time has come to re-examine the abortion law." He said, "What happened in this hospital was not a medical abortion but an abortion done for the purposes of eugenics."
"They wanted to kill the sick fetus and save the healthy one and what didn't work properly in this business was the selection," wrote Binetti.
Ever since 1978 abortion has been legal on demand in Italy up to the third month of pregnancy. Pro-lifers are using this present case to fiercely argue against Italy's abortion laws, pointing out the contradictions and dangers within the present policy.
In March doctors in Florence's Careggi teaching hospital attempted to abort a perfectly healthy baby after two pre-natal diagnosis tests indicated that the child had a defective esophagus. The doctors botched the abortion, performed on the 22-week child, and subsequently discovered that the still-living baby was perfectly healthy. They managed to resuscitate the child temporarily (See http://www.lifesite.net/ldn/2007/mar/07030804.html).
Another abuse occurred this February when an Italian judge ordered that a thirteen-year old girl abort her unborn baby, despite her desperate pleas to save its life. Under Italian law, the parents or guardians of a minor can force her to abort her child, as happened in this case (See http://www.lifesite.net/ldn/2007/feb/07021904.html).

As I was saying about selfishness & eugenics in the abortion industry. No surprize that the Vaticano newspaper L'Osservatore Romano also agrees with the eugenics aspect of this whole event.
L'Osservatore Condemns Twin Abortion in Italy
Says Eugenics and Culture of Perfection to Blame
VATICAN CITY, AUG. 27, 2007 (Zenit.org).- An abortion in Milan that killed a healthy twin fetus instead of her sibling with Down syndrome is a case of eugenics "imposing its law," says L'Osservatore Romano.
After it was discovered that the unborn baby with Down syndrome survived, a successive abortion later ended her life.
The Vatican's semi-official newspaper L'Osservatore Romano is reporting the story in its Tuesday edition. The abortion was actually performed in June, but only recently made public.
According to L'Osservatore Romano, "eugenics is imposing its law." The article says the case can be attributed to "the culture of perfection that imposes the exclusion of all that does not appear beautiful, glowing, positive, captivating."
"What remains is emptiness, the desert of a life without content, though perfectly planned," the report continued.
No motive
The San Paolo hospital in Milan reported that the case was "a terrible fatality." The babies were in their third month of gestation.
The error occurred because the twin sisters changed positions in the womb between the doctors' examination and the abortion.
L'Osservatore Romano reported: "Two girls have died, assassinated as a consequence of selective abortion. A radical decision has brought about another abortion, that of the little sister that still had life." No one "has the right to eliminate another life. No person has the right to take the position of God. Not for any motive."
"It is an illegitimate decision, even though it is authorized by the law, as here in Italy," it continued.
Bishop Elio Sgreccia, president of the Pontifical Commission for Life, spoke with Vatican Radio today about the case.
He said: "All of us have to feel involved in this and many other cases that are repeated every day, to take on a new and different commitment for the respect of human life from its first moment, because these little ones share in the same dignity we have.
"And in the case that they have some sort of sickness, that simply means that they have more motive to be helped."
