Abortion Clinic Caught Throwing Body of 17-Week-Old Aborted Baby in the Trash | Micaiah Bilger Columbus, Ohio Ohio pro-life leaders called for an investigation Wednesday after a second-trimester aborted baby’s body was discovered in a dumpster at a northeastern Ohio abortion facility. During a press conference, Denise Leipold, executive director of Right to Life of Northeast Ohio, said a pro-life volunteer found the baby’s mangled body in the trash about a month ago at the Northeast Ohio Women’s Center in Cuyahoga Falls. The volunteer with Citizens for a Pro-Life Society found the baby’s body wrapped in a blood-stained surgical sheet with its left leg, left foot and right hand fully intact, Leipold said. Other parts of the baby’s body were badly mangled and crushed, the results of a brutal dismemberment abortion, according to state pro-life advocates. “This heartbreaking situation puts the reality of abortion on full display,” said Mike Gonidakis, president of Ohio Right to Life. “Abortion is not empowering. It is the violent and bloody ending of a baby’s life. Our hearts are broken by what this helpless child suffered.” Pro-life advocates estimated the baby was between 16 weeks and 17 weeks gestation, and a photo displayed at the press conference showed that the baby’s foot was about 1 inch long. Northeast Ohio Women’s Center advertises abortions up to 15.6 weeks on its website.
