Incinerating Aborted babies for electricity is Hitleresque

CBS News is reporting, that the electricity generated in Oregon may have included aborted babies. Commissioners said they were horrified and disgusted to learn that Covanta Marion was burning abortion waste to generate electricity. The facility is owned and operated by Covanta in a partnership with the county. It processes 550 tons of municipal solid waste a day, with only a small portion coming from medical sources.

From the story
An Oregon county commission has ordered an incinerator to stop accepting boxed medical waste to generate electricity after learning the waste it’s been burning may include tissue from aborted fetuses from British Columbia.

This blog previously wrote how news outlets like the UK Telegraph reported that the remains of more than 15,000 babies were incinerated as ‘clinical waste’ by hospitals in Britain with some used in ‘waste to energy’ plants.

Ten NHS trusts admitted burning fetal remains alongside other rubbish while two others used the bodies in ‘waste-to-energy’ plants which generate power for heat.

Back in Oregon, Sam Brentano, chairman of the Marion County board of commissioners, told the CBS affiliate that the board is taking immediate action to prohibit human tissue from future deliveries at the plant that has been turning waste into energy since 1987.

KOIN interviewed Bud Waterman, a former temp worker at Covanta Marion, Inc., who said he saw 53-foot tractor trailers carrying biohazards dropping off loads at the facility in Brooks at least two to three times a week.

On more than one occasion, Waterman said the contents of the truck spilled out of their containers.

“It would make you sick, especially if you had to clean it up or have to pull a box off the trailer,” said Waterman,”If you had to pull a box off the trailer, there’s so much blood.

Waterman told the news station he believed that fetuses had been incinerated at the plant for years and used for energy.

“They knew it, they had to,” Waterman said.

In addition to aborted babies being incinerated there was biohazard waste such as individual human body parts which were used at the plant.

“So if someone loses an arm, loses a finger?” Marion County commissioners Janet Carlson asked at the meeting.

“That should go in and be burned,” Brentano replied. “As gross as that is.”

According to KOIN, Covanta placed blame on Marion County and said the company is halting the program until answers are given.

“The medical waste program at the Marion County Resource Recovery Facility is County run and managed,” Covanta said in a statement. “Marion County contracts for and delivers medical waste to the facility and Covanta has no responsibility for the program. Covanta is shocked by these allegations and is discontinuing the receipt of this waste stream until we have been assured by the County that this alleged material is not being delivered to the facility.”

Focal Point‘s Bryan Fischer called the practice barbaric and Hitleresque and said that we are no different than Nazi Germany. He compared this practice with those done centuries ago when Ancient Israel babies sacrificed their children to the idol Moloch.

According to ABC NEWS, The Oregon facility is a partnership between the county and Covanta, a New Jersey-based firm that operates energy-from-waste power generation plants. The Marion County plant processes 550 tons of municipal solid waste a day, with only a small portion coming from medical sources. It sells the power to Portland General Electric.

Jill Stueck, a Covanta spokeswoman, said the company is cooperating with the suspension, and it does not seek out the waste that mortified commissioners.

“No one is saying bring us fetal tissue,” Stueck said.

Jeff Bickford, environmental services division manager in Marion County, said the facility there has been taking material from British Columbia for five to seven years. He said clinical waste providers such as Stericycle bring in medical waste ranging from syringes and body parts to laboratory cultures and bodily fluids after hospitals and clinics place it into red bags and sealed containers.

Pro-lifers have been exposing Stericycle for picking up abortion clinic waste for years.

The group , Repent America launched a campaign to stop Stericycle after recording Stericycle admitting that they pick up aborted babies from Planned Parenthood and abortion clinics.

In April of 1997, the national pro-life group Life Dynamics began an undercover investigation into the marketing of body parts harvested from babies killed by elective abortions. This investigation lasted approximately 31 months. An extensive report of that investigation has been uploaded on the Life Dynamics website (here). The group says that most of the information in the report was provided by employees who worked at Comprehensive Health for Women (Comp Health) – a Planned Parenthood abortion clinic located in Overland Park, Kansas.
