Warning: Unsuitable for children under the age of 14.


"I am having a lot of difficulty with my feelings about late abortions - and all the pain that's there so much of the time after the baby is moving.

So one day, in a need to arrive at a measure of clarity, I went into the room where they keep the fetuses before burning them. They were next to the garbage cans in papers buckets, like the take-home chicken kind. I looked inside the bucket in front of me.

There was a small naked person in there, floating in a bloody liquid. He was purple with bruises and his face had the agonised tautness of one forced to die too soon.

I then took off the lids of all the buckets and with a pair of forceps lifted each fetus out by an arm or a leg - leaving, as I returned them, an additional bruise on their acid-soaked bodies.

Finally, I lifted out a very large fetus and read the label - Mother's name: C. Atkins; Doctor's name: Saul Marcus; Sex of the item: Male; Time of gestation: 24 weeks (six months).

I remembered Miss Atkins. She was 17 - a very pretty blonde girl.

So, this was Master Atkins - to be burned tomorrow - for the sake of his mother."

"The item"...
Remind me again of the difference between this and the operating theatres of Josef Mengele?
Both were choices. Both are murders.
