A Memorial at the dumpster site was set up. Pictures to follow. Notice how the reporters say "full term female fetus" which means a BABY for God's sake! Sheeeesh.

I have photos of the dumpster site and the memorial. The dumpster is located at the Ashmark Arms Apartments at Ashland and Marks in Fresno, CA.

Lager and I went over there and just wept. Imagine dumping a baby's body in a DUMPSTER.

I think her little body was found by a "dumpster diver" in the middle of the night.

So very sad . . . poor little girl. Pictures to follow.

full term female fetus

I'm speechless. That is the most horrid comment I've every read.

[CounterCounterCulture]

Ugh!

Pending autopsy results, it could become a homicide or misdemeanor improper disposal of human remains

Improper disposal of human remains, eh? Does Planned Butcherhood have a guide on proper disposal?

[farmfriend]

We need to get the prayers started.

[trussell]

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.

[oceanperch]

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.

What the HELL is a full-term FETUS? It's a BABY! Say it. A BABY.

Re: Autopsy set today for fetus found in a Fresno trash bin

What is wrong with you people? The body found in the dumpster was a dead female baby. What problem with that reality could possible lead you to sterilize the description by referring to it as a 'full term female fetus?' The proper use of the term 'fetus' would preclude it from being used to describe a baby which is beyond 8 weeks from conception much less one that had been born and abandon whether dead or alive.
In my opinion the use of the term 'fetus' as opposed to 'baby' designed to pander to NOW and certain other organizations and their support for the killing of babies prior to, and sometimes just after, they are born. Obviously these organizations don't want a human child called a baby unless the mother says it is no matter how old, irrespective of wether the baby is dead or alive. This way a human child could 'conceivably' be killed any time the mother chooses to have it killed.

...kind of transparent and grossly PC of you , don't you think?

[Squantos]

Sad to think how many babies are never found.........

Stay Safe Sandra.

[dansangel]

Prayers being offered for the soul of this poor, innocent victim. May she rest in eternal comfort and glory in the Arms of our Lord.

I will also pray for the end of ignorance of those who would call an infant child a "full term fetus."

[Elsie]

What are ALL you people whining about?

 

It's just one dead baby!

 

Are you upset because the perp wasn't LICENSED!?!?!?

 

Or, because now, it puts raw facts in your face again?

Its very sad that this happened.
I am glad our Lord takes all babies that die into Heaven with Him.

"But 81 babies have been illegally abandoned, and 24 have been found dead, including the Fresno baby."

But, but, but. . .I thought abortion was supposed to end all this?

I thought the laws that allowed mother's to abandon their babies to the safety of others were supposed to end all this?

There are times I am embarrassed to be a woman. This is one of them.

I sent the following Letter to the Editor:

"Okay, I admit it, I'm confused.

In their story in the July 12, 2003 issue of the Bee (Autopsy set today for fetus found in a Fresno trash bin), Louis Galvan and Roya Aziz refer to a "full-term female fetus." I'm confused...if the subject is full-term, how is it, by any loose standard, a "fetus?"

Of course, they may be using the actual, definitive meaning of the Latin word "fetus," which is "child."

But why do I doubt it?

Maybe the Bee can clear up this mystery..."

Anyone think it'll be printed?
