Unwanted babies

-

Few, if any societies have a good record in dealing with unwanted children.

We only have to look at the old communist regimes where the orphans ended up in horrific orphanages. Many Irish people have done heroic work in rescuing these unfortunat­e children.

In Western society, sending children to orphanages has largely been replaced by sending them to the abortionis­t. With equally chilling outcomes. For example, it was revealed in the UK that the remains of aborted children were being used like coal to heat hospitals.

Also, last year in the US, an investigat­ive journalist uncovered that Planned Parenthood were harvesting the viral organs of aborted children and selling them for profit. We are right to be shocked by the Tuam revelation­s but it appears that ill treatment of unwanted children is still very much with us.
