The third annual National Day of
Remembrance for Aborted Children, Sept. 12th at gravesites and memorials
all over the country – this year takes on a new significance in light
of a series of undercover videos from the Center for Medical Progress
that show Planned Parenthood officials trafficking in the organs and
limbs of aborted babies.
“The recent revelations about
abortion giant Planned Parenthood's practice of harvesting and selling
body parts from aborted babies makes it all the more important for those
of us who love these children to visit their gravesites,” said Eric
Scheidler, executive director of the Pro-Life Action League, which is
sponsoring the memorial with Priests for Life and Citizens for a
Pro-Life Society.
“This small handful of aborted
children whose bodies have been buried in sacred ground -- rather than
incinerated, flushed down the drain, or dissected and sold for profit --
represent all the tens of millions who have been abandoned since
abortion was made legal,” Scheidler said. “Let us visit them on
September 12 and mourn as we should for all of abortion's unborn
victims.”
Solemn prayer vigils will be
conducted at many of the 47 gravesites of aborted babies throughout the
United States, as well as at dozens of other sites dedicated in memory
of aborted children.
Tens of thousands of aborted
children have been retrieved from abortion centers and other facilities
and given the honor and dignity of a burial. The stories of how they
were killed, how they were found, and how they were buried, along with
the pictures and videos that document those events, can be found at www.abortionmemorials.com,
which also has a list of burial sites and services.

Father Frank Pavone, National
Director of Priests for Life, said leaders of the pro-life movement have
long known about the sale of baby parts but now the rest of America is
catching a glimpse of the true nature of abortion.
“Finally we are seeing the baby –
not the fetus, not the products of conception – but the actual child
who is killed in abortion,” he said. “The strong support we see for
these memorial services put the abortion industry on notice that this
nation is quickly reaching the point where we will no longer tolerate
this barbarism.”
The National Day of Remembrance,
Father Pavone said, “creates a focal point for our grief, both national
and personal, and for the education of future generations. These
services also will provide opportunities for an urgent call to healing
after abortion for the women who have suffered from this terrible choice
and are now grieving again as they watch the undercover videos that
show the truth about abortion.”
Monica Migliorino Miller,
director of Citizens for a Pro-Life Society noted that, "Since 1973, 58
million human beings have been killed in legalized abortion. This is a
national slaughter -- and so few, indeed a mere fraction of those human
lives, managed to find their way into a human cemetery. The recent
undercover videos that show Planned Parenthood officials haggling over
the sale of aborted baby body parts reveal that indeed human beings are
killed in abortion as their torn bodies lay in the back rooms of these
clinics. Those bodies will never see a humane burial.
“When we honor the graves of the
aborted unborn we pay honor to all the unwanted unborn. How ironic that
the last work of mercy, to bury the dead, is for the first work of
mercy these buried aborted babies ever knew. The least we can do is
honor them and allow their voices from the grave call us to end the
injustice of abortion."
Coffins containing the bodies of 1200 aborted babies are buried at Holy Cross
Cemetery, in Milwaukee, WI.
