Geez, they murdered their babies and don't want to see them buried? That is evil.

That is because it would acknowledge that the 'fetus' that they like to believe isn't alive isn't actually anything but a lump. Burial makes it human.

[Ghost of Philip Marlowe]

No, it's more like they evacuated their womb of some lifeless accumulation of cells that is neither living nor a child...and then, AFTER the evacuation, after convincing themselves it's no big deal because it isn't killing an unborn child, that it is just an evacuation of their womb, THEN they (the hospital) makes the claim that the 'cells' were actually the some-sort-of-child that the aborting mother still has rights over.

You're right, though. The entire situation is pure evil. They want to prohibit the burials neither on religious nor on the 'mother's rights' grounds, but because the term 'burial' implies that it was a living human being at one point, and this makes it difficult for the abortuaries to stick to their argument that it isn't a baby but a 'viable tissue mass.'

In other words, the abortuaries object purely on dialectic grounds.

When the taking of life hinges on the play of words and the positing of arguments rather than on the value of human life, we truly have wandered into an evil wilderness.
