Christians aren’t supposed to wish that certain people were going to hell or to show hostility in public, lest it might ruin our testimonies and/or turn people away from Christ. At the risk of ruining mine and repelling the unrepentant, let me say publicly on this blog that I wish something very, very bad happens to the heartless idiots involved in throwing away a living baby born during a “botched” abortion.

I’m late on this, and you probably know the facts. An 18-year-old exercised her “right” to kill her unborn child. Sycloria Williams was 22 (or 23, depending on the source) weeks pregnant. She’d met with the “doctor” days before, and he gave her drugs to dilate her cervix for an easier kill. The next day she went to a clinic for the slaughter. She was given meds to induce labor.
Five hours later, with no abortionist present, she gave birth to a girl. Employee Belkis Gonzalez (Oh, the language I want to use right now!) cut the umbilical cord and didn’t clamp it. I read somewhere that the baby was writhing and struggling to breathe. Good Lord. Gonzalez put the living child into a biohazard bag that contained a “caustic chemical.” You can read the rest. I’m trying not to lose my religion.
It doesn’t matter whether a 23-week-old fetus is viable. The point is there was chance for that baby to live. Former labor and delivery nurse and blogger Jill Stanek has more.
Blah, blah, blah, the doctor didn’t have a medical license. He was sued for medical malpractice. Frankly, I don’t care. Here’s what I don’t get: Williams went to the clinic for an abortion, but she’s now suing her abortionist for murdering her child. Wait…what? So if the killer had torn the baby to pieces vacuuming her out of the womb and rinsing her down a sink, that wouldn’t have been murder? Murder committed in the womb is choice, but murder committed outside the womb is…?
(Pictured: baby at 23 weeks)
This child killing is a bad business, to understate it, and I’m sickened every time I hear the freaking word choice in the context of this heinous act. Yeah, I know I’m supposed to say, “May God have mercy on your soul” or share the Gospel with these lost souls or something sweet like that. But you know what? I’m going to spend the next few hours imagining these people stuttering before God as they try to explain themselves.
“Well see, God, what had happened was…”
The thought gives me pleasure. Wrong? Probably. But the truth stands: There will be an accounting.
I, too, am a sinner and undeserving of God’s forgiveness. But God saw fit to send his Son Jesus Christ to bear the punishment for my sins. Because of his blood, I won’t get what I deserve. Perhaps he’ll have mercy on the fools involved in this case. Sin is sin.
Why did he choose me? I don’t know. I’ll ask him one day.
Addendum: A Twitter follower writes: “Deut 27:25 ‘Cursed is the man who accepts a bribe to kill an innocent person.’ – No need for us to wish bad for them.”
