Hyperbolic in the extreme.
Cleaning up after a murder is not in the same category of evil as committing the murder. It is arguably not evil at all.
I've noticed this in discussions about pro-life issues. People often focus on stem-cell issues and other ways the dead body is handled. While I'm definitely not in favor of misusing the bodies, this is very definitely a secondary issue, and more one of decorum and decency than actual evil.
The evil is the murder, not how the corpse is handled.
Hyperbole.
Stericycle is a "medical waste" disposal business, not an abortion mill collection service. If abortion's evil byproducts are included in the definition of medical waste these days, blame those such as Obama who refuse to define a "pre-viable fetus" as a "person".
"Our services include medical waste disposal, sharps disposal management, product recalls and retrievals, OSHA compliance programs, pharmaceutical recalls and waste disposal, medical device returns, hazardous waste disposal, hospital waste stream management, mailback kits, infection-control products and patient communications services."
Your reply seems to have missed the point entirely.
LifeNews is a mouthpiece for Romney.
David Corn is more honest.

Wow. I’m in awe at how you can separate the two things. It’s amazing.
It's pretty apparent what's going on with this article.
The only "good" this does the left is as an attempt to discredit anybody on the right who is involved with the company in any manner whatsoever.
Do you think those who made lampshades out of the skin of holocaust victims were complicit? After all, the victims were dead, right?
David Corn is more honest....yea riiiiight
“On its documentation page, the Stop Stericycle campaign lists documents showing contracts and other information linking the business with abortion clinics. The first document offered as proof comes from 2003 anywhere from one to four years after Romney and left Bain Capital and coming at the time Bain itself had divested from Stericycle.”

Do you think that undertakers who bury murder victims are complicit with murder, too?
If Romney Republicans will justify and spin this, they will justify and spin anything.
Just look the other way on Bain and think about what the Romney's have done with those Detroit trees! Awesome dude!

In other words, actually the same words moved around)
Mitt Romney had no involvement in the management or investment activities of Bain Capital.....(since) February 1999
The lampshade makers were not guilty of murder, were they?
How far do you want to carry your line of thinking? By your way, those death camp Jews who were forced to bury or to carry the bodies of their fellow Jews to ovens for disposal were also complicit in their deaths?
Yup. It is gross and disgusting to misuse the bodies of the dead. It should be illegal.
But they’re dead. The relevant point. We shouldn’t confuse the true evil for an at most auxiliary one.
No. Do you?
You don't understand the moral difference between an undertaker and someone who treats the bodies of millions of abortion victims as "medical waste," and puts the bodies in the incinerators or the landfill?
I was about to disagree with the "science fiction" part, thinking that it was more fiction than science fiction, then I remembered that mormonism has taught that people live on a fictional planet called "Kolob", and taught that people also live on the moon and sun. I suppose science fiction is appropriate.
