Anyone who wishes can visit the largest cemetery (by interments) in the USA, Calvary in Maspeth, NY. Once there you can locate the sections being filled between the 1920’s and 1960’s. In these sections you will see more babies and teenagers and young adults than you ever would have believed. In a great many cases you will actually SEE the individuals as photos flashed into porcelain have been set into the stones. Once you have strolled a few of these sections you will have no problem understanding how fragile life was over those 40 years and you will require a hell of a lot more than just numbers to infer some kind of wrong-doing.

Even today, life is fragile, but that doesn't make it any less sacred. Do you see a difference in attitude between cemetery sections filled with the dead, marked by photos on stone and constructed in a way that honors the precious life lost, and the dumped into a used septic tank, body after body of babies and young children, unmarked, unnoted, ungrieved, left there to only be discovered accidentally by kids playing, who will be haunted by the gruesome sight the rest of their lives??? I sure can. The missing piece is compassion. That is something people EXPECT of an organization professing to be Christian. I don't think that expectation is out of place. Almighty God is the judge and He knows the secret things and the things hidden.

Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account. (Daniel 2:22)
