Pro-life vid of day: Stillborns’ remains sent to laundry service
by LauraLoo
It was reported that a Minnesota hospital apologized Wednesday for mishandling a stillborn baby boy whose body was found in linens that had been sent to Crothall Laundry Services in Red Wing.
Regions Hospital officials later announced on Friday that they believe a second set of remains of a stillborn baby were sent in a basket of linens to the laundry service as well.
“This was a terrible mistake, and we are deeply sorry,” Chris Boese, the hospital’s chief nursing officer said in a statement. “We have processes in place that should have prevented this but did not. We are working to identify the gap in our system and to make sure this does not happen again.”

Something seems fishy about this. What are your thoughts?

How can a stillborn baby be accidentally put in the laundry? Don’t parents want to properly bury these children?
Regions used to do later term abortions and I can’t help but think about that.
One stillborn baby. And now two??
Also wondering if the parents have been made aware??
Yes, it does seem fishy. A stillborn would be a wanted child, so the parents would know where their baby’s body was. And most likely, that baby would have a funeral service and the body would be kept for that. For a body to be lost in some sheets is extremely weird, how did it get there? Delivery doesn’t usually happen on sheets. Sounds like this little baby was disposed of real quick, as in abortion.
Wondered that too JJ.
One baby, perhaps a tragic mixup. But two? No. No way.
I personally thought of Jill’s story, about the nurses taking the children who were aborted alive to the soiled utility room to die.
I believe that’s what happened to these children.
But they didn’t have birth certificates, so it’s cool.
Are they trying to cover up illegal or botched abortions, or are they trying to send some kind of sick message?
Of course what’s really sick here is that they are “sorry” about sending these “remains” babies to the launderers, but are not sorry about being the cause of those “remains”.
If the baby was a “stillborn”- how could a baby of that size get just tossed in with laundry. I am curious to hear from l&D nurses as to how this could happen
Right, X, cuz that makes them not people (a great comfort to our abortion advocates).
Don’t stillborn babies go to the morgue? If the parents do not want to bury them?
These babies were aborted!
According to the stories I’ve read, the babies WERE in the morgue, and it’s not uncommon for the corpses of babies to remain there for days as the families make funeral arrangements. The babies” bodies were wrapped in linens, and someone apparently saw the linen bundles and thought they were just bundles of dirty sheets, and tossed them in the hamper without bothering to check if anything was wrapped IN the linens. The hamper was subsequently picked up by the laundry service.
It is rather horrific, but I tend to attribute it to stupidity as opposed to malice.
JoAnna-
That is what I have read as well. I guess the entire morgue is cold enough to store bodies in or they were waiting to be processed by staff there.
I’m thinking there’s a big fat lawsuit in this hospitals’ future.
For once I’m not automatically thinking, “frivolous”, I’m not so sure I wouldn’t sue in this case honestly. Eric Mataxis makes an excellent point about how we have stopped honoring our dead in an article on Break Point, I’ll have to dig it up.
Ok the last 2 comments make sense but its still awful .
