How many babies make 150 lbs of ash?

from Shawn Carney's Blog:  http://40daysforlife.com/updates/

I spoke at a pregnancy center dinner and afterwards was visiting with attendees. As it got late, the room emptied out — and one of the center’s staff members came up to introduce herself. She had a sweet and joyful face and told me that she wanted to share her story of how she first got involved in the pro-life movement. As she began to speak, her change in tone suggested it was not a typical path. I quickly learned that was the case.

She had worked at a very large Planned Parenthood abortion facility near a major city. She justified her job because she did bookkeeping and other business tasks that were separated (she thought) from what went on in the rooms next door where the abortions were done.

She relayed this information to me very comfortably and then said, “But that all changed in an instant one day when I was sitting at my desk.” She then, in a troubled tone, said that she opened and read an invoice. “The invoice was to Planned Parenthood from the local morgue. It was for $350.” As she scanned the invoice to see what it was for, the reality of abortion hit her.

She continued, “The service listed was in bold letters that pierced my heart: CREMATION SERVICE FOR 150 POUNDS OF MEDICAL WASTE.”

My heart sank.

She looked me in the eye and said, “Shawn, the question I had to ask myself as I stared at that invoice was what first got me involved in the pro-life movement. The question that pierced my heart was: How many babies have to be aborted to add up to 150 pounds of ash?”

I didn’t know the answer. And a big part of me didn’t want to know the answer.

She went on to tell me how she resigned from the abortion industry and began working for a local pregnancy center to help women in need and to welcome babies into the world.
