August 30, 2012, (LifeSiteNews.com) One day, Pham Thi Cuong, now 74, was going to the local market when she saw a black plastic bag covered in flies on the sidewalk. Unexpectedly, the bag moved when she walked past.
At first Cuong assumed that a local family must have discarded some animals, and walked past. But something made her turn back.
What she found made her sick. In the bag was a still-living newborn baby. Its body was black and blue and there were ants all over it. Such a painful sight, she told VnExpress this week.
Cuong attempted to save the babys life, searching desperately around for a breastfeeding mother to feed the baby, but she failed, and the baby died. The experience, however, gave her a new mission in life.
The elderly woman now bicycles around, up to ten kilometers a day, looking for the bodies of abandoned or aborted babies. She then cleans them up and gives them a proper burial in a local cemetery, so that their souls may find peace.
Sadly, she is often successful in her search. So far, she has reportedly buried more than 4,000 babies.
Cuong says that she often finds the bodies of the babies in plastic bags, thrown on the sidewalk like common rubbish. Often, she says, they are being consumed by animals.
It gives me the chills, she said. But then I thought about their really short life of being abandoned, not even having a place to rest when they died, I still tried to bring them home.
Because Pham is poor, some have told her she is wasting her time and should work on improving her own situation. But VnExpress reports that others have come to look on her as an angel, and one local man has even begun to join Pham in her searches.
Cuongs story is eerily similar to that of Lou Xiaoying, an impoverished Chinese woman who made her living recycling trash. The Daily Mail reported last month that Xiaoying has discovered 30 living babies abandoned in dumpsters. In each case she has rescued the infants, and cared for them as her own children.
I realized if we had strength enough to collect garbage, how could we not recycle something as important as human lives, she said.
These children need love and care,” she said. “They are all precious human lives. I do not understand how people can leave such a vulnerable baby on the streets.
She might qualify as the Vietnamese equivalent of Mother Teresa.
Ping.
Obama would have her arrested.
Burying the dead - truly a corporal work of mercy.
And WTSHF we are going to blame God for every calamity that will hit us.
God help us to pray for the helpless innocent
victims of this utterly iniquitous behavior,
which is perpetrated against babies pre-
and post-birth. In Jesus’ name, amen.
It's comforting that someone recognizes this act as a corporal work of mercy. It is painful to read this woman's testimony to life yet gratifying to know that we are not alone in our respect for these victims of abortion. May they truly rest in peace.
I am reminded of another, equally extraordinary story, that I posted to the forum many years ago. In case you missed it, the following is a life-altering event.
Serbian Abortionist Who Aborted 48,000 Babies Becomes Pro-Life Activist
Jesus has a special place in heaven reserved for this wonderful woman.

It's sad, but the liberals in our country care more about recycling old bottles than unborn babies.
bkmk
Remember, Obama supports planned parenthood who do the same things that the Chinese do. This woman is a hero in a sea of socialist hell.

“It’s sad, but the liberals in our country care more about recycling old bottles than unborn babies.”
They care deeply, they just don’t want to be reminded they care. Thats why they get so incensed when someone reminds them.
Nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize? Never mind...
The spirit of God can be found in all the world, God bless these women.
The government encourages abortion on the theory that the country is overpopulated and that is a way to reduce population. Only the Catholics(I don’t know anything about the Protestants- and there are somw)have moral reasons to oppose abortion. The Catholic orphanages have some children whose parents are dead and many children who would have been aborted or who were abandoned.
And I hope he has a special place for all the babies who never had the chance to get to know Him
And a special place for the merchants of death who take innocent life.
