Dumpsters, Bridges, and Children

[Editor's note: This article contains some graphic passages describing aborted babies and may not be suitable for all readers.] 

Some years ago, a phone call came into a Milwaukee police department. Children were throwing stones off of a bridge, the officer was told. When police arrived at the scene, they asked the children what they were throwing. The reply came, "Little people."

These children had discovered small grey containers that held the remains of aborted children. The containers had been thrown in the trash of a nearby abortion mill. "Little people" had become playthings, because the law taught the slightly older children well. What is disposable, after all, can also be used for play. Yet the children had not lost their straightforward honesty, and ability to call things by their names. These aborted babies were people.

My friend Monica Migliorino Miller, a professor, author, and pro-life activist, is also straightforward and honest. She writes of one of the times that she and other activists went to retrieve the bodies of some of our aborted brothers and sisters in Chicago. This effort eventually led to a burial service conducted by the Archdiocese of Chicago. Monica writes,

"When we pulled our cars slowly into the dark alley behind the Michigan Avenue Medical Center, rats scurried before our headlights, frightened by the noise of our intrusion. Our three-vehicle caravan parked in the alley off Monroe Street in downtown Chicago. We stopped in front of a loading dock upon which stood three garbage dumpsters and a filthy blue-colored trash barrel. ...We climbed onto the loading dock, opened the dumpsters, and began to search through the trash. I opened a red dumpster ... At the very bottom was a small, heavy cardboard box. It was about the size of two shoe boxes and was sealed in silver duct tape. I carefully cradled the box in my arms and placed it in the back seat of one of the cars. ...

"We drove to Joe Scheidler's garage to examine the contents of the box, first setting it on a table beneath a bright light. We all gathered around the table as Peter carefully peeled off the silver duct tape and opened the flaps of the box. Inside were small plastic "specimen" bags. Each bag contained the remains of an aborted baby with placenta and uterine tissue. We took the bags out and laid them on the table. There were forty-three of them in all which represented about three or four days worth of abortions at the Michigan Avenue Medical Center.

"Several bags were marked with the name of the aborted baby's mother, her age, the gestational age of the fetal child, the date of the abortion and a number. ...Despite the small size of the fetal remains, their tiny arms, legs, hands, feet, rib cages, spinal columns, eyes (floating free out of their sockets), bits of skull tissue and sometimes even an intact face were plainly visible through the plastic windows of the specimen bags."

Sometimes it takes dumpsters, bridges, and children to wake us up to the reality of what the "choice" of "abortion" really is.

Abortion should carry the death penalty. End of discussion. If you don’t want to be pregnant, keep your legs closed.

Please ping your lists.

[Salvation]

Another ping, please.

WTF? That’s just horrific.

[Salvation]

Excellent advice.

[Salvation]

Hard to imagine little children playing like that, isn’t it. Like the warning in red said: Could be offensive to some.

Please, folks, join the prayer lines in front of Abortion Clinicx later this month. Coleus, do you have the thread?

[pandoraou812]

I agree. It is horrific.

“Some years ago”, but naturally no date or details that would permit verification of this tale. I know a fabricated story when I read one. When kids are throwing anything off a bridge that they know they shouldn’t have and/or shouldn’t be throwing off the bridge, and police arrive, the kids RUN.

[Elsiejay]

Clinics? They are “Terminals,” or, more to the point, “Aborttoirs.”

[pissant]

This is revolting.

[Coleus]

A sad truth about abortion, the culture of death and the value of human life.

Fr. Pavone, really "keepin' it real."

It's time to stop and smell the evil.

Why do you feel the need to deny the story? Would that allow you to ignore the truth of Fr. Pavone's other comments?

Plenty of garbage bags full of dead babies have been retrieved from dumpsters behind abortuaries. That's where Priests for Life got most of these photos of dumpster babies. But the abortionists have caught on, and now put the bodies through meat grinders before they're incinerated.

[GovernmentShrinker]

When somebody opens an article with a blatant falsehood, I naturally don’t care what else they say. Any true statements in the article have been made in plenty of other places. The fabricated tear-jerker is meant to, and does, set the tone for the “point” the write is trying to make. If you can’t make a point without lying, I don’t care what your point is.

[Rita Hayworth]

I also find this story implausible.
