Not Just Britain! Babies Burned In U.S. Too (+audio)
Pro-life activists are horrified by reports of thousands of aborted and miscarried babies being burned to provide green energy in Great Britain, but they point out that lax standards in the United States don’t stop the same thing from happening here.
Reports out of Britain went viral this week, following the revelation that more than 15,000 aborted and miscarried babies were incinerated by some 27 different National Health Service trusts. Some facilities burned them as rubbish and others did so as part of a “waste-to-energy” program that generates power for heat.
Americans United for Life attorney Jeanneane Maxon said the discoveries are revolting and reveal some disturbing facts about our culture.
“It is just appalling to see where society has come to that we have disregarded human life, so that even after children are born and you have the bodies of these dead babies – which is tragic in and of [itself] – that they would be disposed of in such a callous manner. It really hearkens back to the images that you think of in the Nazi Holocaust,” Maxon said.
Maxon called the practice “barbaric” and said she’s surprised this happened in Great Britain, which has more restrictive laws on abortion than the U.S. In fact, Maxon said the United States is one of only four nations worldwide that allow abortion throughout a pregnancy. The others are Canada, China and North Korea.
