"The anti-abortion movement has claimed that viable infants have been left to die following failed abortion procedures."

The current version of this article contains the following sentence:

The anti-abortion movement has claimed that viable infants have been left to die following failed abortion procedures.

However, there are no references. If this statement is true, shouldn't we provide references for it (verifying that this kind of incident has indeed happened in the past), as we do for any other Wikipedia article? It seems important, as this issue came up in the September 10, 2024 debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, and some supporters of abortion rights claim that this type of incident has never actually happened before. 98.123.38.211 (talk) 01:04, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I just found this page, which provides several examples of this happening. If it has happened, why do some supporters of abortion rights (as well as members of the media) say it has never happened?

That's a page from an anti-abortion lobby group. AntiDionysius (talk) 01:10, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Here is an example of this happening in Britain. I doubt that medical practices are that different in the US.
