BANGKOK – Thai police investigating a strong smell emanating from a Buddhist temple have found more than 2,000 fetuses hidden in the complex's morgue that appear to have come from illegal abortion clinics.
During an initial investigation at the temple in Bangkok on Tuesday, police discovered piles of plastic bags containing more than 300 fetuses. Police Lt. Col. Kanathud Musiganont said workers pulled more bodies from the temple's morgue Friday. More than 2,000 have been unearthed from vaults where bodies are traditionally interred pending cremation, which under some circumstances can take place years after death.
Abortion is illegal in Thailand except under three conditions — if a woman is raped, if the pregnancy affects her health or if the fetus is abnormal.
According to the police, Suchart Poomee, 38, one of the undertakers being questioned by the police, confessed Tuesday he had been hired by illegal abortion clinics to destroy the fetuses. He said he had been collecting the fetuses since November last year. It was not clear why they had not yet been cremated.
Heavenly Father, we have sinned greatly against You and Your Word. Forgive us and have mercy upon us. This grievous thing pales in comparison to the United States where 324,008 reported abortions were performed in 2008. 324,008 children, created by God, who were never given a chance to live their life.
