An autopsy is scheduled for today for a fetus found early Friday in the trash container of a west-central Fresno apartment complex. A resident of the Ashmark Arms apartments found the full-term female fetus wrapped in a blood-soaked bed comforter while he dumped garbage about 3:15 a.m., Fresno police Lt. Dennis Bridges said.

Ping for life

Okay, they are all coming up now just fine.

These are heart-wrenching photographs. So very sad.

We need to get the prayers started.

You're right. I'm sure the local right to life groups will help out. Hope we can get the little body and give her a proper burial or at least a memorial service.

When Lager and I were out there at the dumpster site, I kept thinking about Jesus being born in a stable. It was a filthy place.

The child is in a better place, and bless you and Lager for setting up the memorial site. That was sweet.

Thanks again for help with the photos, Lori. You are wonderful.

[Mama_Bear]

No problem. Always happy to help a FRiend in need.

Prayer ping.

My prayers for the baby.

Would have been happy to have her myself Saundra Duffy. Blessings for all you have done and are trying to do for the baby!! She deserves a decent burial.

God bless you. Just think - all the people who would have loved to take care of this child. It doesn't make any sense at all. What is this world coming to?

"It's horrible," Renee Moreno said. "I just started screaming when I heard it on the news."

It's lucky for her that she doesn't think too hard about all the thousands of foetuses who are dismembered, burned with saline, or strangled, or have their brains sucked out every single day, otherwise she wouldn't have time for anything other than screaming.

The way society is going the child may have either not took breathe at life to a murder.

Sad the birth mother did not have the commen sense to call for help to make appropiate arrangements for the dead baby.

What ever these reports are always alarming.

I will stick to being a Conservative Catholic because there are not many excuses for acts like this. Always a Geek.

Thank you for not posting the pics.

But having them available.

We know not how this child lost life but the fact that it was discarded like a left over beer bottle is very disturbing.

I pray it is not as grim as reported.
