“Ms. Alisa LaPolt Snow, representing the Florida Alliance of Planned Parenthood Affiliates, testified against the bill. Florida representative Jim Boyd, apparently unsure that he had understood her correctly, asked:
"’So, um, it is just really hard for me to even ask you this question because I'm almost in disbelief. If a baby is born on a table as a result of a botched abortion, what would Planned Parenthood want to have happen to that child that is struggling for life?’"
“Ms. Snow responded that her organization ‘believes that any decision that's made should be left up to the woman, her family and the physician.’ In short, as the Weekly Standard summarized, Florida Planned Parenthood is in favor of ‘post-birth abortion.’ This is consistent with the position of the president of the United States and most members of the caring party.

“Dr. Kermit Gosnell is on trial for murder in the deaths of one woman and seven second trimester babies. The 41-year-old woman had sought an abortion and was given an overdose of narcotics at Gosnell's clinic. The seven babies were all born alive, according to the indictment. Gosnell then used scissors to ‘snip’ their spinal columns. One of his assistants, who pled guilty to third-degree murder, said that such ‘snippings’ were ‘routine’ for late-term abortions — so there were probably many more than seven.”
