Abortionist compares aborted baby to “a rose pressed in a Bible”

“The New England Journal of medicine featured an article that describes how to abort one twin without destroying the other. Using ultrasound, Dr. Thomas Kerenyi guided a needle through the mother’s abdomen and then punctured the heart of the twin who had been diagnosed as having Down Syndrome. He withdrew approximately 40-50 percent of the infant’s blood, and the baby died. Several months later,the mother gave birth to the survivor and discharged the remains of the dead infant. At a news conference shortly thereafter, Dr. Kerenyi described the corpse as “flat, fragile and paperlike…like a rose that had been pressed in a Bible for five years.” But that was not a rose pressed lovingly in a Bible. It was the remains of an infant.”
