Summation of abortion burial controversy: (1) Clinic contracts with licensed mortuary to incinerate material and bury it on mortuary grounds. The contract specifies no religious rituals without clinic's consent. No hint that material is being treated "disrespectfully." (2) Mortuary violates contract and transfers incinerated material to Catholic church, even though mortuary was not the owner of said material and had no authority to do so. (3) Church buries material in ground (just as mortuary was supposed to do per contract), only difference is church conducts religious ritual along with said burial. Thus this does not involve the issue of whether the remains were treated respectfully. In both cases, the remains were incinerated and buried in the ground. The only difference is whether or not religious rituals would accompany the burial. If the chosen ritual were a Muslim or Hindu ritual, I wonder whether the bible thumpers would be so enthusiastically in favor of it.
