When I saw the first ad on TV advertising collagen-enriched cosmetics I was
speechless. We'll be apologizing to Hitler, I thought; at least he didn't kill
for money!
Collagen is the gelatinous substance found in connective tissue, bone and
cartilage. Nick Thimmesch's syndicated coloumn, "Our Grisly Human Fetal
Industry" documents that amniotic fluid and collagen can come from fetal
material, since the Food and Drug Administration does not require pretesting
or the identification of cosmetic ingredients.
A glance through a local drug store revealed that the leading 12 shampoos and
five hand creams all contained collagen.
Check your beauty products and you may be shocked! Unless your beauty product
specifies animal collagen or bovine collagen, the product probably contains
human collagen. The drug company should be challenged at once. Even collagen
taken from human placenta raises questions about respect of life and ownership
of the placenta.
A letter from Mary Kay Cosmetics emphasizes that their collagen all comes from
animals. A similar letter from Haskhas also been received.
Since there are 1.5 million abortions every year, there is an abundant source
of fetuses for commercial use.
There's triple profit to be had. The first is from the abortion (estimated at
a half billion dollars a year by Fortune magazine). The second profit comes
from the sale of aborted babies' bodies. The third profit is from unsuspecting
customers buying cosmetics.
Babies' bodies are sold by the bag, $25 a batch or up to $5500 a pound. The
sale of later-term elective abortions at D.C. General Hospital brought $68,000
between 1966 and 1976. The money was used to buy a TV set and cookies and soft
drinks for visiting professors. Personally, I hope that they choked on the
Kool-Aid!
Call your local abortuary and hospital and ask them some pointed questions
about the disposal and possible sale of fetuses. Would an abortionist who
kills a baby think twice about selling its body? One prenatal killer said,
"A baby is becoming property. We kill, keep or sell the property."
In the Pittsburgh Women's Health Service there's a sign in the lab areas
asking doctors not to carry dead fetuses without wrapping them since it
disturbs the patients.
Treated like trash
What have abortuaries done with fetuses in the past before they realized that
they could make another profit out of them?
Well, "Richmond's shame" marked a new low in disposal of wastes. An abortion
center there filled a long bin on the rear of its property with the remains of
its day's nefarious doings. Its trash compactor neatly mashed 100 babies'
bodies which were then tied up in plastic bags and thrown on top of the bin.
"The hungry dogs came along and dragged the bags away. There were frequent
fights and the contents of the bags would be strewn up and down the streets
until the dogs separated the gauze, sponges and pads and devoured the
placenta, bones and flesh of the babies." said a mother.
She went to the police, health department and city hall and felt that she got
nowhere: but the bags, of warm human babies' mutilated parts disappeared from
the streets even though the clinic increased its abortions from 25 to 150 a
week. They've since moved to larger quarters.
The Jacksonville, , Florida, Womens' Center for Reproductive Health, which is
run and ownd by the Clergy Consultation Service, advertises "celebrating a
decade of service."
Nothing to Celebrate
What they don't advertise is that they leave aborted babies out for the trash
pickup. Rev. Marvin Lutz, the director explained that the practice of leaving
the remains out was perfectly legal and approved by the "good houskeeping"
Judases, the National Abortion Federation and the Florida Abortion Council.
Dr. Jeronimo Dominguez of New York wrote that "on any Monday you can see about
30 garbage bags with fetal material in them along the sidewalks of several
abortion clinics in New York."
In Odessa, Texas, city ordinance 69-91 forbids placing a dead animal in a
dumpster. But that didn't stop one abortionist from depositing large brown
plastic bags full of sock like gauze bags into the city dumpster prior to
closing every night.
A Baptist minister opened the bags and to his horror found a little "perfectly
formed hands and feet of a 13-week old baby and the complete body, in pieces,
of a 17-week old baby. Everything except one foot was there: the rib cage,
sexual organs, head, finger nails and toe nails."
He nearly died of shock. I nearly did too, reading about it.
They Burn Babies, Don't They?
Babies used to be burned on the altar to Baal; now ther're burned in furnaces
at the sites of their deaths.
In Cincinnati, a prenatal killer allowed dense smoke to eminate from his
chimney. When firemen were called they were told, "They're burning babies,"
as if that was routine.
One wonders how life saving firemen could continue their dedication amid such
a contradiction!
One pro-lifer overheard her children (ages five and seven) discussing the
infamous picture of the babies in the trash can the first time they saw it.
"It's dolls, It has to be dolls," said the kindergartner.
"No," said his pre-school sister, "it's babies."
The older child couldn't believe it. "It has to be dolls," he insisted.
"Why would anyone throw away babies?"
When their mother explained to them that it was babies, both children grew
very quiet. Silently they studied the picture and then recalled the times
they had gone on trips to the city dump with the family. "Will the rats eat
the babies when they take them to the dump?" the boy asked.
Animals Fare Better
A wounded American eagle was found in Maryland recently and rushed to
emergencey treatment but it was too late. He died. A $5000 reward was offered
for the arrest of its killer.
Similarly, the Izaak Walton League's ethics fund has spent nearly $60,000 in
the last one and one half years to enhance out door ethics.
It is illegal to ship pregnant lobsters (regardless of which trimester!)
to market. There's a $1000 fine and a year's jail term as a penalty.
The Massachusetts Supreme Court has ruled that goldfish cannot be awarded as
prizes in games of chance. This violates the state's anti cruelty law to
protect the "tendency to dull humanitarian feelings and corrupt the morals of
those who observe them." This same court upheld mandatory state funding of
abortions!
If the human fetus were an animal, its welfare might be entrusted to the
Department of Agriculture or the Fish and Wildlife service where it would be
safer than at the mercy of the Health Department. The hackles of the SPCA
would rise at the physical treatment it received.
The New Laboratory Rat
Some researchers insist that the reason they must do research on human fetuses
is because they are human, not animal.
In a it-shouldn't-happen to a dog story, 47 senators voted in 1974 to protect
dogs from experimentation with poisonous gas but then voted down Sen. Jess
Helm's amendment to prevent federal funds from being used for abortion. One
liberal, pro-abortion Senator gave an emotion laden speech to protect dogs.
Man's best friend came out better than man himself!
Who is pressing for the "right" to experiment? No one less than the nation
Institutes of Health. A stacked national commission gave them the "right" and
this experimentation is funded by you, the taxpayer!
There is another sequel to the erosion of the value of human life. Abortion,
fetal experimentation, infanticide and euthanasia are four walls of the same
coffin.
Even Planned Parenthood's anti life lawyer Harriet Pilpel was shocked. "What
mother (sic) would consent to an experiment on her fetus?" she asked.
A Few Choice Examples
Some of the more shocking facts that will give you heart palpitations include:
o The young couple who wanted to conceive a child to be aborted so that the
father to be could use the baby'skidneys for a transplant that he needed
himself.
o In California, babies aborted at six months were submerged in jars of
liquid with high oxygen content to see if the could breathe through their
skins. They couldn't.
o The hysterotomy aborted fetus in the seventh, eithth and ninth months is
removed intact (translation: the babe is alive). The trade in fetal tissue is
about $1 million annually. The high prices may encourage unnecessary
abortions on welfare patients as the surest way of getting "salable tissue."
o Dr. Robert Schwartz, chief of pediatrics at the Cleveland Metropolitan
Hospital, siad that, "After a baby is delivered, while it is still linked to
its mother by the umbilical cord, I take a blood sample, sever the cord and
then as quickly a possible remove the organs and tissues."
o Magee Women's Hospital in Pittsburgh packed aborted babies in ice for
shipment to experimental labs.
o Newsday reported that an Ohio medical research company tested the brains
and hearts of 100 fetuses as part of a $300,000 pesticide contract.
The Modern Scalp Display?
o Human embryos and other organs have been encased in plastic and sold as
paperweight novelty items.
o The Diabetes Treatment Project at UCLA depends for its existence on the
availability of pancreases from later term aborted fetuses.
o A rabies vaccine is produced from viruses grown in the lungs of aborted
children, according to FDA. A polio vaccine was also grown with cells from
aborted kids.
o Brain cells would be "harvested" from aborted babies for transplant.
o tissue cultures are obtained by dropping still living babies into meat
grinders and homogenizing them, according to the prestigious New England
Journal of Medicine.
o The Village Voice reported estimates seven years ago that 20,000 to 100,000
fetuses are sold to drug companies each year in the U.S.
o A $6000,000 grant from H.I.H. enabled one baby (amoung many others in the
experiment done in Finland to be sliced open without an anesthetic so that a
liver could be obtained. The researcher in charge said that the baby was
complete and "was even secreting urine." He disclaimed the need for
anesthetic, saying an aborted baby is just garbage." Don't tell God!
o a study on the severed heads of 12 babies deleivered by C-section who were
kept alive for months.
o Even the baby's placenta is sold for 50 cents to drug companies. Ever heard
of Placenta Plus shampoo?
And the strocities go on. Will the unborn be regarded as handy little organ
sources? Will our preborn brothers and sisters become a source of spare body
parts?
Listen to the newscasters - they are already pleading nationwide for organs.
It's enough to make you tear up your organ donor card! At least adults can
consent to being inventorized like a body shop's spare parts department but
Little Bugger cannot!
After reading that aborted babies' fat is being used to make soap in England
and the fact that the former head of the federal Centers for Disease Control
abortion surveillance branch proposed that abortions should be charged for by
the length of the babys foot, are we surprised that babies are treated this
way in the Year of the Child or the Year of the Disabled?
After reading the above, if your heart is still beating, run, don't walk, to
your nearest prayer closet and start praying!
