After raiding a Maryland abortion clinic, government officials discover jars of dead fetuses :
Maryland health officials have ordered two doctors to stop performing abortions after a woman was critically injured during a procedure last month.
The state Board of Physicians ordered Dr. Steven Brigham to stop practicing medicine without a license in Maryland and suspended the license of Dr. Nicola Riley. Police raided one of Brigham’s offices in Elkton looking for medical records, and found dozens of late-term fetuses in a freezer at a clinic.
This gruesome story provides a useful litmus test. Ask a dozen people—pro-life and pro-choice—their initial reaction to hearing about storing dead fetuses in a freezer. Most people will reply that they find it disgusting. Now ask them how they feel about storing live embryos in a freezer (as is done in IVF clinics across the country). They are likely not only to be less bothered, but may even defend the practice as necessary.
Storing dead unborn humans in a freezer: evil and disgusting. Storing live unborn humans in a freezer (until they die): What’s wrong with that?
