Abortionist loses medical license after stuffing and tossing live baby girl into trash can

Florida officials today revoked the medical license of an abortionist who is named in a civil lawsuit that alleges a  breathing baby was stuffed into a biohazard bag along with chemicals and tossed into a garbage bin.

The state Board of Medicine voted unanimously to pull the license of Pierre Jean-Jacque Renelique, reported the Tampa Tribune, which noted the abortionist ducked into a restroom after the hearing to avoid television cameras.

WND reported previously on the 2006 case in Hialeah, Fla., which was sparked by an anonymous tipster who notified police of the death. The tipster later called back to prompt a police search that led to the discovery of the baby's body in the biohazard bag in a cardboard box in a closet at the abortion business.

The civil case explains 18-year-old Cycloria Williams learned she was pregnant in July 2006 and decided to have an abortion. She went to the Miramar Woman Center and was referred to abortionist Renelique.
Even though Renelique wasn't present, the clinic's receptionist gave Williams the drug Cytotec, which induces labor. Five hours later Willliams gave birth to a live baby girl, the case explained.

"The baby writhed and gasped for air, still connected to Williams by the umbilical cord. Immobilized by shock, Williams watched [business owner Belkis] Gonzalez run into the room, cut the umbilical cord with a pair of orange-handled shears, stuff the baby and afterbirth into a red biohazard bag and throw the bag into a garbage can," the lawsuit explains.

Someone with inside information about the clinic called police about the death. When officers responded, they found medical records but not the baby's remains. Then six days later, another anonymous call said officers could find the baby's body on the roof, but they didn't. Following a third call to police, the decomposing body was found in a cardboard box in a clinic closet. DNA confirmed it was the body of Williams' daughter.

The county medical examiner confirmed the baby had been breathing after birth but blamed the death on "extreme prematurity."

It took just minutes for word of the state board's decision to spread to activists, including WND columnist Jill Stanek, who immediately questioned why criminal charges haven't yet been filed.

"Renelique was accused of negligent care of his patient, who aborted her potentially viable baby alive in A Gyn Diagnostic abortion mill in Hialeah, Fla., in July 2006, without him there," Stanek wrote. "Allegedly clinic owner Belkis Gonzalez cut the baby's cord and zipped the living baby into a biohazard bag filled with bleach.

"To date, no criminal charges have been filed. Two sources within the system have told me they believe Miami-Dade Co. State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle, appointed to her position in 1993 when her boss, Janet Reno, was made Clinton's attorney general, has purposefully slowed the wheels of justice," Stanek said.

"'She shelved this case because it was related to abortion and hoped it would die, pardon the pun,' one told me. 'This has all got to be driving Rundle batty, because her hand is getting forced now,'" Stanek wrote.

The Tampa newspaper reported Renelique got his medical training in Haiti and later served a residency in New York. The report said New York records confirm Renelique paid out on at least five medical malpractice claims in the past decade, although details weren't available.

On the newspaper's forum page, one commenter said, "This is an unbelievable horror story. Whether you agree or disagree with abortion is not the point here. This baby was born alive and thrown away in the garbage. …"

"Please, people: go to an ADOPTION agency instead of an abortion 'clinic!'" said another. "You and your child will be treated humanely, rather than coldly and dispassionately like just a piece of garbage."

WND reported earlier on a lawsuit brought on behalf of the mother in order to establish that there was a live birth.

The action was filed by attorneys working with the Thomas More Society and names as defendants the Miramar Woman Center, A GYN of Hialeah, Belkis Gonzalez, Siomara Senises, Frantz Bazile and others allegedly involved in the death of the baby, named Shanice Denise Osbourne.
The claim was filed by prominent Miami personal injury attorney Tom Pennekamp, who was retained by the law society for the case.

The case alleges Shanice was born alive, then murdered by the abortion clinic owner, Gonzalez." The other defendants are cited for "unlicensed and unauthorized medical practice, botched abortions, evasive tactics, false medical records and the killing, hiding and disposing of the baby."

Should the case result in a determination there was a live birth and homicide, it could have national implications because of the issue of care that abortionists are required to provide to babies who survive abortions. While he was a state lawmaker, President Obama opposed such rules, arguing they imposed too great a burden on the abortionist.

The case alleges:

    As a direct and proximate result of the negligent conduct of the Defendants, Plantiff Sycloria witnessed the live birth and suffering of her daughter as she struggled for life in pain, moving and breathing on the recliner. She witnessed Belkis Gonzalez enter the room and knock the live baby from the recliner seat where she had given birth to the floor. She then witnessed the murder of her daughter by Belkis Gonzalez before her eyes, as Belkis Gonzalez picked up a large pair of orange shears and cut the umbilical cord connecting mother and daughter. Belkis Gonzalez did not clamp the baby's umbilical cord allowing the baby to bleed out and also threw or by some accounts literally swept the breathing live child into a biohazard bag to suffocate and bleed to death. There are reports that Belkis Gonzalez also placed a caustic chemical in the bag with the live baby.
