Abortionists Kept Aborted Babies in Jars
National Catholic Register ^ | 9/6/2010 | Matthew Archibold

Posted on 09/06/2010 5:16:05 AM PDT by markomalley

Two abortionists in Maryland (Dr. Steven Brigham and Dr. Nicola Riley) were ordered to stop practicing abortions in Maryland after a woman was severely injured.

Subsequently, police raided the clinic searching for medical records and to their horror they discovered dozens of unborn babies stored in a freezer.

After being shocked and disgusted my mind raced back to an incident a few months ago.

This would be a strange and horrible story if it had never happened before but just a few months ago another abortionist, this one in Philadelphia, was discovered to be keeping aborted babies in jars.

The offices of Philadelphia abortionist Kermit Gosnell were raided earlier this year after a woman was injured and they found the conditions of the clinic to be “deplorable and unsanitary.”

Authorities reported: “There was blood on the floor, and parts of aborted fetuses were displayed in jars.”

I used to think that the abortion industry were simply capitalists who allowed their greed to override their humanity. I used to think that maybe it was just feminism run amok and that cooler heads would eventually prevail. I used to think that pro-lifers were simply up against the extreme of secularized logic. Over the past few years though I’ve come to believe that it’s more than that. It’s worse than that. We’re immersed in a culture with a death fetish. Our fascination with death is boundless.

Our culture increasingly sees humanity as the problem. We elevate animals in order to grant them human rights and increasingly view humans as animals.

I am surprised and relieved that the killing licenses for these murderers were revoked in Maryland of all places. Abortion, sad to say, seems to be the unofficial state “sport.”

These people are evil beyond my words to describe them further right now.

I find the idea they keep parts of dead babies in jars to be less revolting then the idea they killed the babies in the first place.

Let us not forget the Woodland Hills tragedy.

“The Woodland Hills Tragedy: The Full Story Behind the 16,433 Aborted Babies Found in a California Suburb” by S. Rickly Christian.

I’m with you on that. It’s disgusting that they stored them in jars, but as long as they did, they should show those jars to every woman and girl who comes in for an abortion. How many would choose to go ahead with it after seeing that?

It much more than that - it's DEMONIC - a practice as old as the ancient Pagan god Moloch from the gates of Hell.

Not surprising. Many serial killers will keep trophies or souvenirs so they can relive the thrill of inflicting death and the power they have over other lives.

Abortionist take orders from medical research companies for baby parts. The orders will generally include specific harvesting directions and storage instructions. Its quite possible these jars were just unsold stock.

Technically its illegal to sell the parts, so they sell access to the parts.

In the UK some of the items are turned into makeup.

You want to talk demonic, check out this old thread: 35 years pass, but not debate (clergy bless new Planned Parenthood clinic ) Rabbi blows Shofar:

SCHENECTADY -- To commemorate Tuesday's 35th anniversary of the Supreme Court ruling that affirmed a woman's right to an abortion, clergy blessed this city's new Planned Parenthood clinic in a ceremony dubbed "On Sacred Ground."

"Today is more than about the building and about bricks and mortar," Planned Parenthood spokeswoman Linda Scharf said. "It's a blessing to demonstrate the support of the clergy."

(continued with FReeper comments)

If that is not bad enough, how about a description of abortion as a sacrifice to Artemis:

“I have drawn inspiration throughout this book from a guiding image, the Artemis of Greek mythology (known to the Romans as Diana, the Huntress). She is an untamed Goddess, a champion of what we would think of today as ecological values … her myth is full of what appears to be the same kinds of contradictions that abound in considerations of abortion. Artemis is both protector of wild animals and a hunter who kills them with unerring aim…” (p. 1)

“The same goddess thus offers protection and also death to women, children, and animals. Why these apparent contradictions … personified in a feminine divinity? Is it a way of saying that a woman’s protective power cannot function properly if she does not also possess full power, namely, the power over death as well as life? Her image belongs to us as well as to antiquity, because like all fundamental images of the human experience, which C.G. Jung called ‘archetypes,’ she never really ages but reappears in different forms and different symbols … She encourages us to become more aware of the power of death, its inescapable nature, and its necessary role in a living ecology. Abortion is about love, life, and death.” (p. 2)

“The collective unconscious has always used different ways to reduce the population when resources and space are lacking or when the social climate deteriorates.” (p. 26)

“Artemis had a reputation for liking bloody sacrifices, including human ones … a practice that has given paganism such a bad name…. The story of Artemis claiming Iphigena as a sacrifice can be told and understood in more than one way … in one, Iphigenia is a victim, offered in sacrifice on the altar of Artemis; in the other Iphigenia becomes a heroine, and sacrifice takes on a different meaning. Since abortion is a kind of sacrifice, I believe an exploration of this myth may open up fresh avenues of thought.” (p. 34)

“From a pagan point of view, it is quite stupid and even absurd to sacrifice a mother for the sake of a newborn, because the child obviously needs her … Artemis, who personifies respect for animal life, accepts the necessity of the hunt, but only if the rules and the absolving rituals are observed. In most Goddess religions a similar reasoning is applied to the fetus and the newborn. It is morally acceptable that a woman who gives life may also destroy life under certain circumstances …” (p. 53)

“Our attitudes toward abortion are subconsciously stamped by Judeo-Christian values, even among those people who consider themselves completely liberated from them. We are now on the threshold of a liberalization of attitude toward abortion in many ways comparable to the freeing up of sexual attitudes thirty years ago.” (p. 5)

“Abraham’s bloodthirsty God had been encouraging human sacrifice long enough for the patriarch to believe that the offering of his only son would be pleasing to Him … When he restrains Abraham’s arm, Jehovah states that he doesn’t want to be honored in that way any more: this scene marks an evolution in Judeo-Christian mythology.” (p. 37)

“Paganism was discredited by the image of an innocent child being dragged by evil pagans to an altar to be sacrificed to a cruel female Goddess, as if God hadn’t also demanded the sacrifice and crucifixion of his only son.” (p. 41)

“Judeo-Christian mythology has had the major influence on our Western culture for over two thousand years, providing the ideas, values, and symbolic images. Can we erase two thousand years of monotheistic influence by dropping all religious practice and declaring ourselves free of our parents’ faith? Certainly not as has been proved by our sudden awakening to ecological values. We’re only beginning to understand how a religion which strips nature of its sacredness so as to place everything sacred in one God (whose realm is not of this world) can be dangerous to trees, animals, oceans, forests, and body-consciousness, all of which were considered receptacles of the divine in polytheistic antiquity.” (p. 4)

“…there is more than one way to define morality, human dignity, children’s rights, and the collective responsibility for life and death issues. It is also clear that all of this is intimately connected with global ecology.” (p. 6)

“…we must constantly monitor the values attached to shame, as we educate the next generation, so that it can be put aside when it no longer expresses our ideals… “When an abortion is necessary, not only should there be no shame but there should be a new consensus that to have a child who cannot adequately be cared for is shameful.” (p.106)

“It is not immoral to choose abortion; it is simply another kind of morality, a pagan one. It is time to stop being defensive about it, time to point an accusatory finger at the other camp and denounce its own immoral stance.” (p. 56)

“As Artemis might kill a wounded animal rather than allow it to limp along miserably, so a mother wishes to spare the child a painful destiny.” (p. 56)

“… men who decide whether or not to kill in war then dare to talk about crime and murder when a woman sacrifices a fetus no bigger than a raisin and less conscious than a chicken…. The beings sacrificed in abortions do not suffer as do the victims of war and ecological disaster…. War is sanctified … by our religious leaders. But let a woman decide to abort a fetus that doesn’t even have the neurological apparatus to register suffering, and people are shocked.” (p. 25)

“It’s rare for a woman to choose abortion because in some way she dislikes the fetus. She sacrifices it for the sake of something she judges at this moment to be more important, whether it be her existing children … or her own physical, economic, or psychological survival, or the fate of the planet.” (p. 95)

“This same quality allows us to visualize a world of increasing respect for children, a world in which one can occasionally resort to abortion when it is necessary to sacrifice the fetus to a higher cause, namely, the love of children and the refusal to see them suffer.” (p. 107)

“Some values are worth the sacrifice … Abortion always has been and continues to be another way of choosing death over life.” (p. 51)

“… the return of the ancient Goddess Artemis invites us to imagine a new allocation of life and death powers between men and women, and allocation that allows men to appreciate the cost of a life and women to make decisions based on their mother-knowledge.” (p. 27)

“One must preserve in one’s self … an intact strength, inviolable and radically feminine; this is the Artemesian part of the anima which guards the untamed zone of our psyche, without which we risk becoming over-domesticated human beings, too easily touchable.” (p. 107)

“Obviously, everyone has a right to his or her religious beliefs, but what if mine are Pagan?” (p. 57)

“Our culture needs new rituals as well as laws to restore abortion to its sacred dimension, which is both terrible and necessary.” (p. 92)

“Abortion is a sacrifice to Artemis. Abortion as a sacrament for the gift of life to remain pure.” (p. 107)

And there are plenty of other examples.

Kinda throws out that “back alley” argument, doesn’t it?

There is written record of an eye witness of worship of Moloch about 9th cent. It was an iron statue with a hollowed out back. A fire in that hole was burned till the statue glowed red. The statue had hands in the front in which babies were lain. As the child fried, the people believed the babies smiled. Doctors today know it was a response to the nerves in the neck searing. I have been horrified by this practice ever since I read about it.

How about a "show of (virtual) hands" for anyone that has spent time praying at an abortion mill on this thread?

If you haven't: Grab your Bible, find out when the "killing times" are and head on down to the local abortuary.
And pray (unceasingly).

40 days for life begins on 22 September

My daughter is leading a group from her high school at a local aborturary for the occasion (guess who will be the chaperone)

By the way, you might be interested in this title from Human Life International:

The description from the publisher:

Demonic Abortion is a companion work to Rev. Thomas J. Euteneuer's Exorcism and the Church Militant (ECM). This 120-page book is a spiritual commentary about the abortion industry and its evil spawn, the culture of death. The parallels in the pro-life movement to the expulsion of demons in exorcism are legion, and will be explained more fully in the pages of this book. Demonic Abortion examines the spiritual power that the Church can marshal in the defense of the most innocent of God’s children, the unborn—and their mothers—from abortion. In this book the author also relates this effort to the need to repulse other demonic attacks against the sacred institutions of marriage and the family.

The book will open the eyes of anybody who thinks it is merely a cultural battle. It is a very disturbing and very necessary look at this evil industry.

Photos of just such horrors can be found at the Missionaries to the Unborn website. It's truly beyond comprehension that anyone would want to work in or be associated with the abortion industry. Did I say abortion? Sorry, I meant "womens health care". cry
