On July 10, 2026, a Lewisville resident found a preborn baby dumped on a lakeshore.
Three months later, it happened again, this time in a public park in Austin.
Where police found this child, and what one pro-abortion group tells women to do, will turn your stomach.
Austin Police Investigate Discarded Fetus Found At Roy G. Guerrero Park
Austin police got the call at about 6:41 p.m. on October 12, 2026.
Two witnesses at Roy G. Guerrero Colorado River Park in southeast Austin had found a tiny body.
Those two strangers did what whoever left the child would not, and called for help.
The child was inside a bag.
The bag was inside a box.
The box had been left beneath a tree.
According to Fox 7 Austin, the Austin Police Department's Homicide Unit, crime scene specialists and the Travis County Medical Examiner's Office all responded.
CBS Austin reports police are treating it as a suspicious death, though not a homicide.
A police spokesperson described the child as "nonviable," but the medical examiner is still working to determine the baby's gestational age and whether the child could have survived.
Police are also talking with the Travis County District Attorney's Office about whether criminal charges are warranted.
Nobody knows yet how this child died.
Somebody, though, decided a box under a tree was a fitting place to leave a human being.
That child deserved a name, a funeral and someone to grieve.
Anyone with information can call Austin police at 512-974-TIPS or Capital Area Crime Stoppers at 512-472-8477.
Discarded Preborn Babies Found At Lewisville Lake and Across the Country
The Lewisville baby was five to six months along.
Fox 4 reported that a resident found that child on the Lake Park shoreline.
Investigators said the evidence suggested the baby had been "intentionally discarded."
Live Action has documented a string of similar discoveries.
A preborn baby estimated at 13 to 15 weeks turned up at a South Carolina water treatment plant in 2026.
In November 2025, the remains of a premature baby were found in a garbage bag buried under leaves in Brooklyn.
Twice in 2023, the remains of preborn children were pulled from the pipes of Texas apartment complexes.
In most of these cases, investigators can't tell whether the child died from miscarriage, stillbirth, after a live birth or from the abortion pill.
Abortion Pill Disposal Instructions Tell Women to Wrap Remains in Plastic
Guttmacher Institute figures reported by Live Action show 63% of abortions in 2023 were done with pills.
The FDA approved the regimen only through 10 weeks of pregnancy.
That hasn't stopped the Reproductive Health Access Project.
Live Action researcher Carole Novielli highlighted a June 2026 RHAP fact sheet coaching women through pill abortions at 14 to 20 weeks.
It warns women they may see the baby's head, arms or legs.
For babies too big to flush, roughly 15 to 16 weeks and beyond, the sheet suggests the garbage.
"To lower legal risk, you can wrap it in many layers of plastic," RHAP advises.
The concern isn't the child, and it isn't the mother who has to look at her baby's arms and legs.
The concern is legal risk.
Texas made mailing these pills into the state illegal in December 2025, yet Students for Life proved in March 2026 how easy they still are to order online.
Nobody can say this Austin baby died from a pill.
But the abortion lobby has written the playbook for exactly this kind of scene.
There is help for women caught in it.
A woman who has taken the first abortion pill and regrets it can call the Abortion Pill Rescue Network at 1-877-558-0333.
Pregnancy centers across Texas stand ready to walk with mothers who feel trapped, at no cost.
Students for Life Cites Mifepristone in Drinking Water to Force the FDA's Hand
Washington will protect a mussel from the abortion pill faster than it will protect a baby.
In September 2026, Students for Life notified the FDA it plans to sue under the Endangered Species Act, according to The Daily Signal.
The group cites a July 2026 study that found mifepristone in water from three U.S. cities, and it names two Texas mussels among the species at risk.
The FDA answered with a short letter claiming the law doesn't apply.
Kristi Hamrick of Students for Life said that response "will not cut it, legally or practically."
Acting FDA Commissioner Kyle Diamantas should read the RHAP fact sheet and then explain why a drug approved through 10 weeks is circulating with instructions for wrapping a 20-week baby in plastic.
