A lawsuit was aimed at the Queen’s Park Hospital in England, after an abortion led to a live birth:
From the “My Beautiful Abortion Baby” Lancashire Evening Telegraph, first published Wednesday 1st Nov 1995.
Office manager Julie Robb, 38, was admitted to Queen’s Park Hospital for a “therapeutic termination” after a scan revealed that her 23-week-old foetus could have serious abnormalities, [(cerebral palsy, water on the brain, or downs’ syndrome)]…. A team of medics induced Mrs Robb who gave birth to Elizabeth, weighing 696 grams (1lb 8oz), at 2.25am on December 7 last year
According to the testimony of medical experts, the baby “gasped” after it was born and showed signs of life.Also had heartbeat. The team (2 midwives and 2 specialists) decided not to revive the baby. Death certificate showed baby was alive for 90 minutes, Medical personnel testified it was less than 35 minutes.
Verdict was in favor of hospital
There have actually been many similar cases of babies born alive after abortions.
For example, there was Baby Hope.
The Born Alive Infant Protection Act, which became law in 2001, forbids hospitals and clinics from aborting babies alive and leaving them to die. It was opposed by a number of pro-choice groups. It was also voted against by Barack Obama, then a senator.
