Just as this abortion occurred in the United Kingdom:
In the UK: aborted babies as firewood
Aborted babies incinerated to heat UK hospitals
The remains of more than 15,000 babies were incinerated as ‘clinical waste’ by hospitals in Britain with some used in ‘waste to energy’ plants.
And now, in Oregon:
The British Columbia Health Ministry admits that it had shipped the remains of aborted fetuses to an Oregon waste-to-energy facility to produce electricity for residents of the Northwestern state.
In an email to the B.C. Catholic, a local Catholic paper, a Health Ministry official stated that “biomedical waste” had been “transferred” to an Oregon waste-to-energy facility and this so-called waste included “human tissue, such as surgically removed cancerous tissue, amputated limbs, and fetal tissue.”
The official made a point to say that the human materials are handled to follow “health and safety protocols, as well as federal, provincial, and local regulations.”
A bit more of the truth:
A spokeswoman for the Oregon Reuse and Recycling Association told the B.C. Catholic that the facility that is the likely recipient of the aborted fetuses is the Covanta Marion waste-to-energy center, which is located in Brooks, Oregon.
Nothing to see here. Just a few bodies of newborn infants. Hope you’re healthy and happy and warm in your homes, Canadians.

To be honest, and I’ll probably get blasted for this, I believe that once the child has been killed and discarded, what is done with it is irrelevant. Most human tissue “waste” is incinerated; the fact that it’s being incinerated in a way that can generate electricity is an efficient use of the material. The truly barbaric part is the killing and discarding of a child by the parent and a doctor in the first place.
I am, however, of the belief that our bodies are nothing once we’ve died. The overly sentimental clinging to a person’s dead body (or ashes) is something that has always puzzled me. If I thought that my wife could get a year of free utilities by donating my lifeless corpse to a “waste-to-energy center,” I’d be all about it. Just my two cents’ worth.
I won’t blast; that’s your personal feeling. The situation, however, simply shows what I believe to be a continuing example of hypocrisy.

But hey — Soylent Green really IS people.

I once saw Soylent Green and Fahrenheit 451 as a double feature,,, and this was a LONG time ago.
