Consultants at St Mary's Hospital in Manchester had recommended Heather should abort her child early in her pregnancy in March

Disgusting detail. Needs to be renamed 'Peter Sanger Hospital', not after the Blessed Mother.

Thanks for posting this story. God Bless that lady for not giving up on her child.

Agreed on all counts...if they are going to murder children there, they should at least have enough respect to change the name to one not associated with God in any way as you suggest.

If it's any consolation, it may possibly be that the hospital is actually named after a lesser Saint......their website gives no details.

When I refer to this site which gives information on Saints, it lists "Saint Mary" thusly:

St. Mary

Feastday: June 29
1st century

Mother of John, surnamed Mark, who is mentioned in the Acts of the Apostles. Her home in Jerusalem was a gathering place of the Apostles. Peter went to Mary’s home when he was released from prison by King Herod.

Whereas they list Mary, the Mother of God, not as a Saint in the title but as Mary the Blessed Virgin

In the description, they go on to describe her as "the greatest of all Christian saints" but they never refer to her as "Saint Mary".

I agree that it remains a terrible insult to abuse the name of any Saint by performing murders in a building so named, but I am thinking that it may be that they are at least not insulting the Mother of God in this instance.

Perhaps I'm wrong? Please set me right if I am :-)
