In my book, what the women did was much worse

Ahh, abortion. Everyone who reads knows just how I feel about it...I simply think it's wrong. I can't say that I'm really pro-choice but I can't say that I'm really pro-life either. But I believe I sway more towards pro-life. I am of the:

'if-you-aren't-ready-for-the-responsibility-of-pregnancy-then-keep
your-legs-shut-or-make-an-effort to-take-precautions!' mentality. But my gray area lies in the rape, molestation, and life of the mother/baby. And I am big on adoption!! Just a muddled mess really.

Anyway, I found this article that was interesting:

Hospital admits to burning aborted babies in waste incinerator

It of course angered me but not for the reasons of what the hospital is doing but for the reactions. I guess maybe it's more of a 'how could you care' attitude more than anything.

People are outraged that the hospital would dare to burn aborted fetus' in their trash incinerator. One woman who got an abortion said this:

"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."


Ok, so begins my rant. She aborted this baby, she killed this baby. I'm sure that abortion isn't easy, that many women suffer a great deal after this procedure. In fact even just thinking about it and the act of doing it makes me feel like scum. But that doesn't mean I hold much pity in my heart for this act. It is simply just how I feel personally about this topic. It boils my blood.

But suddenly, after this woman has this fetus/baby mutiliated and removed from her body she dares to criticize the hospital for 'cremating' it in their own incinerator? She didn't care enough about it in the first place is my line of thinking. I have no pity for her now for this reaction, I simply just cannot! She discarded it like it was a piece of trash!

And why is it that the hospital should be responsible for the disposal if in fact these women cared even a fraction? The reason the hospital is doing this is to cut down on expenses. The disposal service was free before. Shouldn't these women be responsible to pay what it costs?

Agonizing decisions? Maybe but in the long run not agonizing enough to ask more questions, to care what might happen to the potential life inside of you. I don't care how stressed out one woman may be with a decision to abort a baby. If even an ounce of remorse is felt for this action, the least that could be done is to realize that the choice was their own and if there was enough agony inside of them to do it or not to do it, the least they could do is not look at other entities and make them the bad guy.

Two-thumbs up for pro-choice...NOT!!!!
