Sickening

This, from the Associated Press:
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — A Florida agency has revoked the license of a doctor accused of medical malpractice in a botched abortion in which authorities say a live baby was placed in the trash.
The Florida Board of Medicine on Friday found Dr. Pierre Jean-Jacque Renelique (ren-uh-LEEK’) guilty of medical malpractice and delegating responsibility to unlicensed personnel.
An administrative complaint said Renelique was scheduled to perform an abortion on a teenager who was 23 weeks pregnant.
According to the complaint, Sycloria Williams gave birth at a Hialeah clinic after waiting hours for Renelique to arrive. A clinic owner placed the baby in the trash. Police recovered the decomposing remains a week later.
Renelique and his attorney declined to comment after the hearing.

Regardless of your political affiliation, I think we can agree as human beings that the revoking of a license wasn't appropriate in this case. The baby in the trash was murdered, and the clinic owner should be tried on a murder charge. Can you imagine a baby, just born, being left in a trash can until it dies? Sickening. In my book, you should be not only looking at a doctor who should never practice medicine again, but a clinic owner in prison for the rest of his or her life.
