But that's not what disgusts me about this story. Where was the doctor? Why was someone with no medical experience dealing with this?

I think we are getting a very skewed story. A 23 week fetus will NOT live without immediate medical treatment, and nearly all 23 week babies born prematurely without the aid of an attempted abortion will die regardless of medical treatment. Whether or not this is murder is VERY debatable. Why this woman was given a cervical dilator before the physician arrived is a necessary question to answer. As for the employee who thought it wise to dispose of the baby as described, a lack of education may be the answer.
