My first job...50+ years ago...at the hospital where I worked for 25 years was in the Pathology Department.Not long after I arrived there I had to go into the autopsy room for something.It was only my second visit to that room (the first one having been very traumatic for me). During that second visit I looked for a minute or so at the many vessels,of various sizes,in the room. These vessels contained various organs...hearts,lungs and livers in large containers on the floor and smaller ones (eyes,for example) in smaller containers on shelves.

One smaller jar caught my eye.It was clear glass,the size of a large pickle jar and it contained four or five fetuses in a clear liquid (formalin I assume). This was before Roe v Wade so I assume these were miscarriages.

The fetuses were about the size of my thumb and they were all *perfectly* formed. They couldn't be mistaken for anything but tiny little human beings. I vividly remember noticing that one of them needed his/her fingernails clipped.

It's an image that will stay with me until the day I die.

Unless I'm very much mistaken abortionists don't fare well with Saint Peter.
