I just read a very interesting, if not sad, story coming out of the UK…

One of the country’s leading hospitals is throwing aborted babies into the same incinerator used for rubbish to save only £18.50 each time, it has emerged.

Addenbrooke’s Hospital, in Cambridge, said it was no longer able to afford the dignified disposal at a local crematorium of foetuses from unwanted pregnancies.

Instead, they are being burnt in the hospital’s main incinerator - which is normally used for rubbish and clinical waste.

One thing that is interesting about the terminology of the article, and by those in the pro-choice movement for that matter, is that they still use the term “aborted babies.”  I thought that their whole justification for being able to have an abortion is that what they are aborting isn’t in fact a baby.  The term “baby” implies and means a human being. 

This next part floored me…

One local woman, who asked not to be named, said after the heartache of deciding to have an abortion she was mortified to find the hospital had used the same furnace they burn rubbish in to incinerate her terminated baby.
She said: “I am furious and very hurt. Imagine my horror when I discovered that my baby was incinerated in the same furnace as the hospital rubbish.”

She’s furious and hurt about the fact that her baby was incinerated in a furnace, but not about the fact that she was killing her own baby in the first place?  That is nuts!  This is what the abortion culture has bread.  She can’t have it both ways.  You can’t say, “I don’t think I can afford my baby, or I didn’t want to have a baby with that man, so I think I’ll kill it.”  Then say that “the way they dispose of my killed baby makes me furious.”  Sorry, sister… can’t have it both ways. 

It’s sad to even think that a hospital is even given the opportunity to dispose of unborn babies like this.  The article goes on to say that they put a white sheet over the incinerator while the baby is being burned.  It seems to me that covering this process with a white cloth is giving these babies more respect than their parents, nurses, and doctors gave them during the pregnancies.  But it’s your choice, right?  It’s your birthright to have an abortion right?  Luckily your mother didn’t exercise her apparent birthright.
