Aborted Babies Provide Electricity for Oregonians

[PapaG]

Waste not, want not!

The British Columbia Health Ministry has admitted that the remains of babies destroyed by abortion in B.C. facilities are ending up in a waste-to-power facility in the United States, providing electricity for residents of Oregon.

The province’s Health Ministry said in an email to the B.C. Catholic that “biomedical waste” shipped to the U.S. to be incinerated includes “human tissue, such as surgically removed cancerous tissue, amputated limbs, and fetal tissue.”

“The ministry understands that some is transferred to Oregon. There it is incinerated in a waste-to-energy plant,” the email stated.

The ministry said that contractors handling the province’s “biomedical waste” follow “health and safety protocols, as well as federal, provincial, and local regulations.”

Kristan Mitchell, executive director of the Oregon Refuse and Recycling Association, told the B.C. Catholic that the “biomedical waste” likely ends up at the Covanta Marion waste-to-energy facility in Oregon since it is the only facility that uses waste to power the grid. The facility confirmed that it still receives and incinerates B.C. medical waste.

The power facility, located in Brookes just off the I-5, burns waste in two massive boilers at a temperature of about 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit. The heat transfers into water tubes, which creates steam to drive turbines. The turbines generate electricity.

A 2007 article about the Marion waste-to-energy facility that appeared in the Willamette Live — ironically titled “Burn, Baby, Burn” — stated that at the time the incinerator burned about 800 tons (1,764,000 pounds) of medical waste per year.

“Medical waste is brought to the facility in sealed boxes and is carried to the furnace on a conveyor belt which layers it with the rest of the solid waste being processed,” the article states.

Locals at the time protested the “importation and burning of medical waste,” expressing concern about breathing “toxic emissions.”

The news comes one month after the remains of more than 15,000 aborted babies were found to have been incinerated, along with other “medical waste,” to heat and generate power for British hospitals.

What's the difference between burning them and burying them in a dump?

I remember passing a group of antiabortion protesters at the Lovejoy clinic once, they were friendly so we got to talking. I asked all 6 of them how kids they've adopted. They all said none. I guess it's easier to tell people what they should do than to jump in with both feet and provide a legitimate alternative.

I always thought it smelled like burning dead babies down there at the Brooks exit.

UPDATE

Oregon county puts stop to incinerating aborted babies for electricity: ‘we are outraged’

The Marion County Board of Commissioners announced late Wednesday that they are putting a stop to a waste-to-energy facility’s program that was incinerating aborted babies to produce electricity.

The B.C. Catholic’s Steve Weatherbe revealed April 21 that the British Columbia government was sending fetal remains to the Covanta Marion waste-to-energy facility to be burned along with other medical waste. The story made national news after LifeSiteNews reported on the revelation Wednesday afternoon.

“We are outraged and disgusted that this material could be included in medical waste received at the facility,” said Commissioner Janet Carlson in a Wednesday statement.

“We did not know this practice was occurring until today. We are taking immediate action and initiating discussions with Covanta Marion to make certain that this type of medical waste is not accepted in the future.”

The board says it has called an emergency meeting for Thursday morning at 9:00 a.m. to discuss the issue.

The British Columbia Ministry of Health said in an email to the B.C. Catholic that “biomedical waste” shipped to the U.S. to be incinerated includes “human tissue, such as surgically removed cancerous tissue, amputated limbs, and fetal tissue.”

“The ministry understands that some is transferred to Oregon. There it is incinerated in a waste-to-energy plant,” the email stated.

Good question. Ask the Nazis. They incinerated some of the Jews they murdered, while buried others in mass graves. I suppose it's a moral question.

The murder of babies is horrible.

However, if they were babies at the time of their killing ( ), then it's not abortion.

Abortion is the termination of the fetus, which at it's stage, is NOT a baby, nor is it a human.

But regardless, this is a very horrible thing to have happened.

I invite you to watch an abortion..say, a partial birth abortion, and get back to me..

That's not an abortion, either.

Abortion is the termination of pregnancy by the removal or expulsion from the uterus of a fetus or embryo before viability. An abortion can occur spontaneously, in which case it is often called a miscarriage, or it can be purposely induced. The term abortion most commonly refers to the induced abortion of a human pregnancy. After viability, the relevant procedure is referred to as a "termination of pregnancy".

I guess it's easier to tell people what they should do than to jump in with both feet and provide a legitimate alternative.

I was a volunteer escort when I lived in Portland. I remember one man swearing he would never ever under any circumstances ... use a condom. I also remember them telling men to beat their wives/girlfriends in order to stop them from terminating pregnancies.

As for the story, this the kind of nonsense forced pregnancy advocates have been spreading since the 1970s. If you read the actual article the source said "fetal tissue" along with other body parts. Not necessarily product of abortion. And since all human body parts are considered hazardous waste (yeah, I know, sounds cold, but it is) it needs to be incinerated. So if they are using the generated heat for something, is it better to just burn someone's amputated limb and let it go up in smoke?

You may want to read the follow-up article, but then again, you've proven that you don't actually read the articles before injecting your often wrong take on them (e.g. the 9-month baby article of a week or so ago).

As for "fetal tissue", exactly what do you think that means? That the abortionists cut the hair and trim the nails off of an aborted fetus, put them in a medical waste container, and then the full fetus goes to some Magical World where the body doesn't need to be disposed?

Also, what is a "volunteer escort?"

How many babies, er "fetal tissue", have you had a part in aborting?

Probably nothing. But it's depressing. First they are innocent children being murdered. Then they don't even get a funeral or burial. At least I find it depressing.

I mean, I realize there are many many people who say we need to sign of and praise murder, but I am just not one of them.

umm, Come and see me, I can do a little better with the alternatives.

You think we should have funerals and burials for abortions?

 

[PapaG]

I'm wondering why you would go out of your way to confront a handful of anti-abortion protesters. Whether or not I agree with them (and I don't), it's not like they have some absurd position that needs to be mocked. The pro-abortion side has to construct a new reality in able to morally justify abortion.

 

[PapaG]

For me, that's up to the woman murdering her future human being, not up to the abortionist. Maybe keep the little bugger in a mason jar of formaldehyde for future family discussions?

"Ethan, I'd like you to meet your older brother, Fetus. Daddy and I decided he didn't deserve to live, and that you did, so you better not screw up the life with which we rewarded you. Don't make us wish we had killed you, too!"

 

[tlongII]

There is absolutely nothing wrong with it in my opinion. It's just another poorly constructed outrage by the religious zealots.

I'm not a religious zealot, and I find the idea of burning babies for electricity to be a bit macabre. I'm not outraged by it, but the nonchalance by many toward this type of thing is a bit depressing to me for the long-term of our species.

I didn't mock anyone. I lived near the Lovejoy clinic in NW Portland and would see them all the time. They said some pretty cruel things to anyone going in, out or just passing by the clinic. I also worked with one of the women who got locked up for refusing to stop protesting there.

As far as morally justifying abortion I'm not seeing a lot of great alternatives. The same people against abortions are the same ones who don't want to provide birth control, or prenatal care, or even after the kid is born things like food or health care, free school lunches. Pretty much any type of social program to support the mother or the kid. I look at it very black and white, if we don't want to prevent the pregnancy or support the kids or the mothers why not let the woman take care of this terrible burden on society.

That's a very broad stereotype. Anyhow, how about this for the next family photo with Ethan!

Why? Do you have some sort of emotional attachment to fetal tissue?
