Anortion Clinic Assails Parish Burial of Aborted Babies

A Boulder Roman Catholic church's plan to bury the remains of fetuses [babies] from a local abortion clinic was assailed Thursday by the clinic's director, who called it "a cynical exploitation of private grief for political purposes" by the Catholic Church and the mortuary that gave the ashes to the parish.

Dr. Warren Hern, director of the Boulder Abortion Clinic, issued a scathing statement in response to Sacred Heart of Mary Church's announcement that it would stage a ceremony Sunday morning to bury the ashes of what Hern describes as surgical tissue from abortions and what the church describes as babies. The event marks the 32nd anniversary of the Roe vs. Wade Supreme Court decision legalizing abortion.

In his statement, Hern said, "I am appalled that the Catholic Church again has shown its willingness to exploit the private grief and pain of women seeking legal abortions in order to advance its political goals."

"Anti-abortion zealots, Catholic or otherwise, have shown that they will stop at nothing to inflict guilt and to compound the grief, sadness and sense of loss that these women experience," Hern's statement said. "These fanatics simply cannot leave other people alone with their most intimate sorrow."
"These fanatics" who murder innocent unborn children daily evidently are NOT responsible in any way for any "guilt, grief, sadness or sense of loss that these women experience". No responsibility whatsoever...they're just providing a needed service, they contend...May God have mercy on their souls, and illumine their minds so they may experience a conversion of heart and true repentence.
