- The remains of more than 340 unborn children have been found at a Buddhist temple in Thailand:
A total of 348 corpses, wrapped in plastic bags and newspaper, were found by a member of temple staff in a mortuary storage area.Police Colonel Metee Rakphan said plastic bags were found “with fetal corpses inside hidden in the storehouse of a temple”.
“We assume that they were from illegal abortion clinics, and we are now investigating,” he told AFP, adding that they were questioning the temple mortician.
- UK scientists have injected fetal stem cells into the brain of a patient who suffered a stroke.
- A student at an African pro-abortion conference seems to be forgetting someone:“I am willing to face any challenge in the pursuit of the legalisation of abortion in Uganda,” [Maxwell Ogwal, a medical student at Gulu University] told the over 50 participants in a session on unsafe abortion and young women, where he was a presenter….
“Uganda can borrow a leaf from countries like South Africa. Otherwise, we are losing a lot of people who would have been useful to our society due to unsafe abortion,” Ogwal said.

What is the state of abortion law in Thailand?
Hi Bobby,
That’s a good question. This article (from Huffington Post) has a bit more information on this story. At one point they refer to “abortion clinics” and at another they refer to “illegal abortion clinics”.
BANGKOK — Thai police have discovered hundreds of human fetuses dumped at a Buddhist temple’s morgue in Bangkok, and suspect they came from illegal abortion clinics.
Police Maj. Gen. Sumeth Ruangswasdi said Tuesday they were called to investigate a strong smell, and discovered the fetuses in plastic bags. They counted a total of 348.
He said the fetuses must have been collected from abortion clinics and disposed of at different times, as their color and condition varied. The Nation newspaper reported that the temple’s undertaker confessed to having been hired by several clinics to dispose of the fetuses.
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.

How can something have a corpse if it was never a life in the first place?
Welcome back, Xalisae! We missed you.
Xalisae! Yay! :D
Hey Xalisae! I was just thinking of you YESTERDAY! Welcome back girl!
I thought Buddism was a religion that was so pro-life that small insects were avoided when walking. Is that so?
Hi Xalisae good to hear from you, an excellent question. I thought you could not have a corpse unless you were a living human being first and dead animals are called carcasses. Yes mama3 very good point. I thought Buddist considered everything a part of god, cows, insects, etc., reincarnated but nevertheless a part of god so you are not allowed to kill it. It could be your long ago dead great-great uncle or great-grandfather.
