Hospital Admits to Burning Aborted Babies in Waste Incinerator

From the Daily Mail (U.K.):
One of the country's leading hospitals is throwing aborted babies into the same incinerator used for rubbish to save only £18.50 each time, it has emerged.

Addenbrooke's Hospital, in Cambridge, said it was no longer able to afford the dignified disposal at a local crematorium of foetuses from unwanted pregnancies.

Instead, they are being burnt in the hospital's main incinerator - which is normally used for rubbish and clinical waste.

The revelation sparked anger and distress among church leaders and pro-life groups, as well as women whose pregnancies were terminated at the hospital.

"The revelation sparked anger and distress among ... women whose pregnancies were terminated at the hospital."

Huh?

You'll have to excuse me once again ... my cognitive dissonance has flared up for the second time in 2 days.

Perhaps they've adopted the position of many a feminist in recent years that unborn babies are human beings, but think abortion is sacred right anyway. Or else they take the middle position that unborn babies are human enough to deserve respect after death but not human enough to deserve not to be killed.

Heaven only knows what they think, if they think at all, which I rather doubt. Anyone who can dump aborted foetuses in a hospital incinerator and justify doing so on cost grounds is pretty far gone in depravity, but are they much worse than the people performing the abortions, or the women having them in the first place?
Addenbrooke's Hospital seems to be trying to put women who deliberately abort their babies on a moral par with women who have had miscarriages. That, quite frankly, is appalling. The latter deserve to be treated with every respect and a great deal of sympathy as they grieve for their children, and the disposal of the miscarried child's remains, where there are any, should be as dignified as possible.
