Orlando, FL, July 25, 2011 (LifeSiteNews.com) – On this past Thursday, July 21, Fr. Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life, preached at a memorial service for an aborted baby girl.
The child was intact and her body was retrieved after a late-term abortion. The memorial service, organized by Operation Save America, was held outside of City Hall in Orlando.
“We are here because this baby was killed in the darkness, and we come to honor her in the bright light of day,” Fr. Pavone declared in his remarks. “The abortion industry wants to hide the violence done to these children, but we must be committed to expose it. Therefore we need to hold many more of these services, with tens of thousands of people looking at these children and recommitting themselves to end abortion.”
During the service, the name “Esther” was given to the child.
Fr. Frank invited any pro-life activists who obtain the remains of aborted children to be in contact with him to arrange for a proper wake service and burial.
It’s not the first time that aborted babies are afforded funerals. In 2008, Detroit Bishop John Quinn offered a funeral for 18 aborted babies whose bodies were discovered in dumpsters at the Woman Care abortuary. Later that same year, Fr. Pavone offered a funeral for three aborted babies at the Shrine of the Most Blessed Sacrament that EWTN’s Mother Angelica built in Hanceville, Alabama. In 2010, Michigan Bishop Earl Boyea celebrated a funeral mass for 17 aborted children.

Legislation on the matter was passed in 2001 in the Czech Republic when President Vaclav Havel signed into law a bill regarding funeral arrangements which included a clause ensuring that the remains of aborted babies receive a proper burial. In 2010, in Michigan a bill was proposed to protect the remains of aborted babies from being simply discarded as biohazardous waste.
Poor precious wee baby
She is so whole and real...
a murdered human being..
God bless these Christians for what they are doing...
There are no term limits in Hell.

“I live in Orlando , this didn’t make the local news , radio , TV or Newspaper...”
What do you expect?
If this little angel had been killed in the womb by a car accident the person who did it could be brought up on homicide charges. Figure that one out!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Doctor’s license is a license to kill I suppose.

Which is a long way of saying cold blooded murder.
When I see or hear of these, I always think of Proverbs 31:8.
“Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, ensure justice for those being crushed.”
Dear God...
That poor child looks like she was the victim of a saline abortion, but I’m not certain. To think that what was done to that poor child is legal, defended, and done by so-called “doctors” is sickening and reflects terribly upon our country.
I have no words...
I know that at some times and in some places, the instructional level has been very low: and this has done deep, long-term harm to individuals ---generations of individuals --- and to the Church itself.
Nowadays, believers are instructed very thoroughly when they are confirmed, suually as teenagers but also as adults. At least I know thery are in my parish: because I'm on the RCIA (Adult Teaching) team, and we make sure the people who come into the Faith as adults --- whether via Baptism, Confirmation, or somply being a "returnee" --- know what the requirements are in terms of faith and morals.
That baby’s too old/large to legally be from a clinic... but I’ll go out on a limb and assume that it must be since if the child was aborted at a hospital Pavone wouldn’t have acquired the body. Pendergraft has a clinic 1.6 miles from city hall... just sayin’ ... lawful behaviour isn’t exactly his strong suit.
Yes I am speechless also...........
May you Rest in eternal Peace, in God’s arms baby girl.
Being a mother of 2 , one twenty and one five, I cannot imagine ........I just cannot imagine.........
Speechless right now........
Please think of me as a tree and save me!!!!!!!!!!!
Found in the trash behind a Canadian abortuary. Photobucket pulled this photo once before and I’m sure they will do so again.
That’s Choice right there....
America is going to pay dearly for the barbarianism of abortion, not to mention the gruesome, late-term killing of pre-born babies.
