I’d have wrapped it in a paper towel and buried in in my backyard before I’d have deliberately flushed it down the toilet. I mean, come on, that was once a person.
I recognize that many miscarried babies do get flushed every day, but usually this is accidental. Most are not recognizable as human beings by the time they are expelled from the body, and are thrown out with toilet paper, or with the bandages, compresses, and soiled laundry that can accompany a miscarriage. I totally understand how this could happen, and I know that God and the deceased child understand the practical aspects of such situations.
But deliberately flushing a recognizable baby’s body down a motel toilet...? God help us.
And it is illegal to bru wioth out the proper permits. We aren’t talking here about what the sympathetic heart wants done. The story is about whether criminal charges should have been filed against police officers.
That is probably illegal. Seriously.
