Oregon County Stops Plant Using Aborted Babies For Fuel

2 Timothy 3:1-5 But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come. For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; Avoid such men as these.

Just days after reports showed a Canadian agency was sending aborted babies to a waste-to-energy station in Oregon to be burned as fuel for electricity, Oregon officials have put an end to the process.

“We are outraged and disgusted that this material could be included in medical waste received at the facility,” Marion County Commissioner Janet Carlson wrote in a Wednesday statement.  “We did not know this practice was occurring until today. We are taking immediate action and initiating discussions with Covanta Marion to make certain that this type of medical waste is not accepted in the future.”

The Oregon Refuse And Recycling Association had confirmed the reception of the aborted babies when they said the Oregon plant was the only one in the region that burned medical waste for electricity.

County officials say they will work with the plant to ensure any future shipments of medical waste does not contain aborted babies.
