Heres a midwife giving her official testimony that babies are often 'born alive' after abortions. The article includes video of her speech.

Louise Adsett, a clinical midwife who has worked in maternity and birthing units in Queensland for 14 years, provided evidence to a state parliamentary inquiry into the Termination of Pregnancy (Live Births) Amendment Bill 2024.

'Sadly in the birth suite unit in my hospital where every new birth is celebrated and protected, there has been an increase in numbers of social terminations at later gestations and this is now common,' Ms Adsett said.

'We've had babies born alive after terminations from 15 to 22 weeks, born alive, gasping for air, moving and having a palpable heart rate - fighting for their lives as we as humans are designed to do.'

She added: 'Sometimes babies born alive after an abortion are put into witches hats and are covered, taken out of the room and die while in that witches hat.

'This is distressing to many of the midwives as they are unable to provide any medical care for the baby but are limited to providing comfort care only, which is merely wrapping and holding the baby.'

Ms Adsett gave one distressing example of a mother who decided to abort her baby at '21-plus weeks’ gestation' and was given the drug misoprostol in the morning.

'The process took all day, and the baby was only delivered during the early hours of a night shift where skeleton staff was on duty,' Ms Adsett told the inquiry.

'This baby moved vigorously, gasped for breath and had a palpable heart rate to make it clear this baby was alive. It was over 400 grams, but the baby was a good weight.

'The parents of this baby did not desire to see or hold this baby. Midwives and doctors were left holding this little life while they continued to provide care for other women who were birthing and welcoming their babies into the world.

'This baby boy fought for his life for five hours before taking his final breath. This is not an uncommon occurrence.'
