DEACON FOR LIFE

Were there to be no support in the whole history of ethical and moral thought, were there no acknowledged confirmation from medical science, were the history of legal opinion to the contrary, we would still have to conclude on the basis of God's Holy Word that the unborn child is a person in the sight of God. He is protected by the sanctity of life graciously given to each individual by the Creator, Who alone places His image upon man and grants them any right to life which they have.

Here's a Strange Story:

"Disposed of as a specimen"

Mother settles lawsuit over disposal of her aborted baby as medical waste

Los Angeles County has settled a lawsuit filed against it by a woman whose aborted child was tossed out as medical waste even though she had asked that the baby be returned to her for a proper burial.

Yolanda Garnett, 36, underwent an abortion on Feb. 20, 2006 at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles and requested that, following an autopsy, the infant's body be sent back to her so she could bury it. Instead, the county coroner disposed of the aborted child as hazardous medical waste.
