Very nice! I didn't read it over more than once, but I like the concept. I think the second paragraph of the containment procedures could be put into the description, as it ruins some of the surprise.

Creative concept? Check.
Easily Readable? Check.
Picture? Meh, but it gets the job done.
Logically Consistent? Check.
Bonus:
A humanoid SCP that I like? Have an upvote.
SCP-1203 is assigned to a standard Euclid living space at Site 10.
There's not much of a standard. That's why they're called Special Containment Procedures. This is a copout that's been appearing all too frequently as of late.
There is to be one guard on duty at all times near the cell, to ensure 1203 does not attempt a self-termination or auto-abort.
You never refer to an SCP by digits alone except in informal formats, such as a conversation between researchers.
It is recommended the subject be dosed persistently with the prescribed anti-psychotic medicines and mild narcotics to avoid this possibility.
Nevermind the effects on the fetus?
At 19 years of age SCP-1203 undergoes what is now being classified as time induced parthenogenesis
Time does not do that. It's just parthenogenesis.
resulting with the conception of one genetically identical human fetus.
Should be resulting in, and you could simply say it's a clone, as that's what diploid parthenogenesis produces.
The termination log is just silly and inconsistent with the rest of the article. We need to medicate and restrain her at all times, with a guard posted outside her room to ensure she doesn't kill herself, but then when we attempt to perform an abortion during childbirth for whatever idiotic reason, we get indiscernible goresplosions and vampire babies. If it's agreed she's suffering and termination is warranted, why would we not allow her to do it herself? It feels tacked on for no good reason.
(account deleted)Regarding termination: Arranged that to where the cause-effect makes sense. There's a line in the containment procedures explaining the things regarding termination. The goreplosion… I'll reword it at least to where it sounds less theatrical and doesn't sound like a vampire baby, which it isn't.
Currently everything else was reworded and cemented.
Necropost, but I think I'm being productive, so whatevs.

Yeeeeeaaaaah…. no. It's obnoxious to type out every wee little thing your skip needs that should be obvious. The train of logic for that seems to be something like this:
"We have to write down every piece of furniture it needs!!!"
Why? Literally every other humanoid gets the same as far as that stuff is concerned."
"BECAUSE REASONS!"
This is why I use Type S, Type M, or Type L SHACC; it's easier than explaining dimensions of the cell and all that other tedious bullshit. I don't think it's lazy writing, it just lets the reader use their own damn imagination for once; we all just picture the same grey cells for pretty much every skip anyway.
What really piqued my interest was the allusion to a cult that involved with this SCP, and the way you hinted at it. Maybe an additional addendum further elaborating and dropping some more crumbs would benefit this. Upvoted.
It's a little late, but I added an addendum.
Eh, not really digging the new addendum.
Giving bearhugs to the unsuspecting since 1872.
Is it that the Serpent's Hand tone is off, or is it that you think it should be left vague?

It sounds pretentious and exaggerated AND, separately, an unnecessary addition to a good article.
I also don't think you should sign it L.S.. But that could just be me. Dr. Mann is the expert on the Serpent's Hand. As much as I'm active at the Library, I don't know the Hand characters very well (partly because the Hand is incidental to the actual Library).
I think this is, overall, a great idea that makes you feel both sympathy and horror for SCP-1203. Having said that, I think exploding viscera is a bit over the top.
Hmmm, I can see the Foundation being cautious about letting her die (preventing self termination), since it seems that any attempt to kill her will instead kill someone nearby. But I'd think they'd arrange to let her try to kill herself while surrounded by a bunch of D-class, both in hopes that the termination will take and to gather more information about her.
It never says how long she lives or how she dies.
The newspaper headline should be "La policía rescata (salva) a bebé en pirámide". Great job, by the way.
"Yes, and I would like to fly as well." That is the most character-illustrating line I've ever read.
Flippant, but not disrespectful; depressed, but resigned to her fate; a normal human psyche caught in some epicly abnormal crap beyond her control, and just trying to endure the ride.
Also, his heart (and associated viscera) leapt up into his throat…and then leapt out. That made me giggle and gag at the same time.
