If I am horrified to the point that my forehead is numb, is that over the top?

We should remember that Carthage, and, indeed, all the baby-killing Baal worshippers, were deleted—so to speak.

I do suppose that disrespecting a baby’s corpse is not as heinous a crime as killing it in the first place. Even by comparison, though, it is callous, degenerate, repulsive.

You have to wonder what the contract actually states between BC and Oregon. Does it just say “medical waste” or does it specify what type of waste.

The Left defines liberty by having the right to kill.

The Statesman Journal has a slightly different take. I'd be interested in WHY they do have a dufferent story

"We're not in the business of burning bodies, whether they are fetuses or adults," said Jill Stueck, a spokeswoman for Covanta Energy Corp, which operates the garbage burner. No human fetuses were delivered to the plant, she said.
Covanta spoke with Stericycle Inc., the company that collected the medical waste in question, and was assured that no fetuses were sent to the Brooks plant, Stueck said. The Statesman Journal was unable to reach Stericycle for comment.
Commissioners Sam Brentano and Janet Carlson called an emergency meeting after Canadian media reported that aborted fetuses from Vancouver, British Columbia, were being sent to Marion County's garbage burner. The commissioner said they were first made aware of the issue on Wednesday afternoon.
(snip)

Marion County has contracts with 15 to 20 companies that dispose of medical waste at the Brooks plant, county officials confirmed. It collects $300 a ton for medical waste brought in from outside of the county.

About 700 tons of medical waste a year is processed by the garbage burner, Brentano said.
Last month, The Telegraph, a British newspaper, exposed hospitals that incinerated aborted fetuses and miscarriages as clinical waste.


The Marion County Board of Commissioners told staff to begin investigating changes to county ordinances and contracts with medical waste customers to ban fetal material from disposal at the garbage burner.


"I am horrified," said Commissioner Janet Carlson. "There are not enough strong words to express how I am feeling."

The medical waste disposal contracts legally require 30 days notice before they can be terminated. Carlson demanded that the disposal of fetal material end immediately, even at the risk of lawsuit.

Marion County happens to be one of the few counties in Western Oregon that has a prayer of becoming red.

So, now what will they do with the aborted babies?

I was thinking the same thing. Mass grave somewhere, but then a grave of any kind would be an acknowledgement of human life. Hauled off in the biomedical trash to the landfill? How is that not any more outrageous?

Those who value life, hold it sacred, the disposal of biomedical waste is outrageous. For the liberal left, none of this outrage has any meaning. It strikes at a very cold, hardened heart.

"Biomedical waste," government forbid anyone would call them Babies.

“Sorry we got caught”

“Sorry if your non-scientific feelings were offended”

“It’s just like tonsils”

They know that the optics of burning the bodies of 50million dead babies since 1973 does NOT look good.

Exact numbers don’t matter, the scenario is very similar to the Nazi ovens and they damn well know it.

Whoever was burning the bodies was just following orders.

Not a smidgen of corruption.

Just some rogue power plant employees in Cincinnati.

The cowardly “abortion is a choice” crowd will say “Incinerating the fetuses was wrong but I didn’t do it. It’s a choice that I would never make.”

And they are cowards. They’re afraid they’ll lose friends. It’s all about them. The world today is filled with narcissists. Thanks to everyone wins at t-ball and
2 + 2 is whatever you think it is.

Liberals would rather burn fetuses for energy than burn coal

For God's sake, put the liberals in the ovens, not fetuses.........

If I understand correctly, these fetuses were at a very early stage of development. Just for the sake of argument,should each of them, even if they were less than a quarter inch long, have been given a burial in a cemetery? (many Christians believe cremations, not for energy use, are a fast elevator ride to hell) And how about an amputated arm? Should that be given a burial in a cemetery also? And if the answers are yes, wouldn’t we run out of room quite quickly?
