THE “BOMBED MATERNITY HOSPITAL” STORY ISN’T TRUE, according to this report in The Guardian:

However the British Red Cross denied an earlier report that a Red Crescent maternity hospital had been bombed and at least three doctors and nurses had been wounded.

He said: “A missile struck the building opposite and the blast was so strong that the windows and roof of the hospital were damaged. But no one inside the hospital was injured – the building was evacuated three days ago.

This hasn’t stopped the usual suspects from trying to make a big deal out of it — after all, everyone knows that the coalition would rather blow up maternity hospitals than Saddam Hussein’s bunkers.
