| Defending Women's Rights - January 2005 |
| |
| Life and Liberty
for Women has two protests scheduled for
January 2005. We will be protesting the exploitation
of fetal remains by members of the Sacred Heart
of Mary Catholic Church. |
|
Friday 1/28/05 10am - 2pm
CRIST MORTUARY
3395 Penrose Place
Boulder, CO |
|
Sunday 1/30/05 7am - 1pm
The Sacred Heart of Mary Catholic Church
6739 S. Boulder Rd.
Boulder, CO |
|
|
| Bring signs that let people know the
mortuary acted unethically, immorally, and with
deception which makes them untrustworthy. No matter
what one thinks of abortion, what they did was wrong
and they know it. |
|
| We will have signs or bring your own
and we will be displaying our graphic pictures of
illegal abortion. These people need to see that
making abortion illegal won't stop it or save 'babies"
but will maim and kill women. |

|
| Background |
|
| You may have been following what unfolded
in Boulder, Colorado last week. It has made the
national news. The Sacred Heart of Mary Catholic
Church went public saying Crist Mortuary in Boulder
had been giving the church cremated remains of fetuses
from Dr. Warren Hern's Boulder abortion clinic,
so they could bury them in a religious ceremony
at a cemetery the church owns. They have been doing
this since 1996 obtaining the remains from Howe
Mortuary in Lafayette, Colorado and Avista Adventist
Hospital in Louisville, Colorado and now Crist Mortuary
in Boulder. According to Dr. Hern he had a contract
with Crist to cremate the remains and bury them
in their cemetery. But Crist, without the knowledge
of or permission of Dr. Hern, gave the remains to
the church, breaking, according to Dr. Hern, the
contract they had. The Catholic Church emboldened
by the excitement of a second Bush term and the
occasion of the 32nd anniversary of Roe vs. Wade
disclosed this outrageous exploitation of the women
Dr. Hern took great care of and who had no knowledge
of nor gave permission for this transfer of remains
or the burial by anti-abortion extremists. The Catholic
Church also exploited, disrespected, and violated,
for their extreme anti-abortion political agenda,
the remains of fetuses they claim they care so much
about. |
|
|
| That's unconscionable.
These extremists only care about their anti-abortion
political agenda. They don't care about women and
there's no more positive proof of that than what
they did here, going behind the back of at least
three thousand women and in a sense "stealing" the
remains of their miscarried fetuses and fetuses
they were forced to abort because their fetuses
were incompatible with life; fetuses with fetal
anomalies, and performing a religious ceremony never
sanctioned by the women they claim to care about.
|
|
| That's outrageous, unethical, immoral,
unconscionable, a sin, and just plain wrong. Who
do these people think they are?! |
|
| You can't call yourself a Christian
or a good Catholic nor have any shred or semblance
of credibility if you, in the name of an extreme
anti-abortion political agenda say the means justifies
the end - which is exactly what Sacred Heart of
Mary Catholic Church in Boulder did. God is not
behind people who would act so immorally for a political
agenda - and one he doesn't support! |
