Catherine Glenn Foster, president and CEO of Americans United for Life, appeared before the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday and spoke out against the inherent violence of abortion.
She alleged that in at least one locale, the remains of aborted fetuses are incinerated along with other medical waste which is then converted into energy for electricity.
The brief article in Mediaite refers to Foster as an “anti-abortion activist” rather than a pro-life advocate, demonstrating their willingness to stand at attention and obey the orders of the Associated Press and National Public Radio, among others, who dictate what words in the English language they are allowed to use. Conversely, it’s doubtful the term “anti-life activist” would ever make it past the editor’s desk.
In the five minutes she was graciously allotted by chairman Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.) during the House Hearing on Access to Abortion Services, Foster revealed that she aborted her first child when she was 19 and said she intimately understands the emotional and physical traumas that come with the decision to abort one’s child.
“Abortion activism always requires euphemism and misdirection. Why? Because of the violent nature of abortion. Because it is, frankly, inconvenient,” Foster said.
“Human persons, from their earliest days, poisoned in the womb and dismembered, torn limb from limb, bodies thrown in medical waste bins and – in places like Washington, D.C. – burned to power the lights of the city’s homes and streets,” she claimed.
“Let that image sink in with you for a moment. The next time you turn on the light, think of the incinerators, think of what we’re doing to ourselves so callously and so numbly.”

The outlet said it is possible Foster was referring to the fact that some jurisdictions do indeed use human waste and medical waste as a convertible source of energy. According to INHABITAT, at least one power plant in Washington D.C. has been converting human feces into energy for several years now.
Foster continued, “Always and everywhere, the convictions of pro-abortion activists are damaging, are deadly, and are devastating to the fabric of American democracy. To speak for the violence of abortion is to speak for injustice. There’s no other way to put it.” [Emphasis added]
Salon’s Amanda Marcotte penned a rebuttal Thursday which was overwrought with metaphor, hyperbole, and simile – the trifecta of great “journalisming.”
In the piece, Marcotte sought to warn her readers of people like Foster, for she is “not some random nut that Republicans pulled off a soapbox at a subway station minutes before the hearing started. She is a Georgetown law school graduate who is paid $190,000 a year to be the president of Americans United for Life, one of the largest anti-abortion non-profits in the country.”
She continued, “So it’s not surprising that Foster believed she would get away with this absurd nonsense. Hers was merely one of a truly overwhelming number of lies that poured out of Republican lawmakers and witnesses alike throughout the course of Wednesday’s hearing. When lies are coming out like chocolates on a conveyor belt aimed at Lucille Ball, the liars can be assured they’ve overwhelmed the fact-checkers beyond any hope of accountability.”
Only a fool would believe the left-wing media suffers from a shortage of “fact-checkers” at their disposal. Perhaps they are “overwhelmed,” as Marcotte put it, because the testimonies of Foster and other pro-life witnesses might be the truth.

This reminds me of when the Romans used Christians as human torches to light the streets at night.
I make a $1000 dollars a day, now STFU
So… Now abortion is part of the Green New Deal…?
Love the “Lucy & Ethel”episode of the candy line! Next “BEST” was “Vita-Veggie” & Lucy being totally inebriated! TODAY, people are just STONED, AND Federal Government says, “A-O.K.”! We’ll just supply the needles & the drugs, sign you up to vote, “X” here, and here’s your “fix”.and YOU VOTED! The Dems will “take care of the rest of it”. California IS A MESS! The BIGGEST STATE in the NATION, AND “run” by the Dems, has Hollywood BIG BUCKS, NO WATER, NO ELECTRICITY, CRIME beyond “belief”, NO prosecutions for ANY crimes, AND Nancy Pelosi, “nephew” Newsom as Gov., Maxine Waters, Diane Feinstein, Adam Schiff AND a host of DINGBATS on EVERY Washington Panel, INCLUDING “The” Jan.2020 “Trump” Commission to “make SURE” that Trump cannot “run” again. It’s NOT gonna FLY! Biden’s Administration, run by OBAMA’s White House, IS “going” NOWHERE” FAST! EVERYBODY “HATES” BIDEN! Went to my Bank today, and “asked”,WITHDRAWALS”?=BIG TIME! “I” was depositing! Spoke to a cousin, $400 for 100 gals. of oil to heat his house.He’s 74 yrs. old & working to “pay” the bills.BIDEN IS DOOMED!
Sounds like a cousin of Soylent Green.
“Anti-Life Activists”. A new addition to my vocabulary.
Hey everyone posting here,,Soylent Green was about the food shortages not the electrical problems,,,they ate the dead not turned on the lights,,,,,,FJB,,,,,,
sympl1
Anybody remember the movie “Soylent Green”?
Similar concept… it came out when ‘Space Food Sticks’ were being a big hit. Nobody knew what was in them, either.
“converting human feces”??? When did they start burning DEMOcrats??
Dems arent HUMAN!
Baby parts, medical waste and human feces? Do you call that GREEN ENERGY???
SOYLENT GREEN ENERGY ;-).
“… the remains of aborted fetuses are incinerated … which is then converted into energy for electricity”
The Soylent Green Power Company?
They need to play the video of that doctor who testified in, I think, 2015, explaining how he had to pull the baby apart by it’s limbs and crush it’s skull, and then be sure to get all of it out. It is barbaric and beyond cruel to treat a small baby like medical waste it is a human and many believe it hurts the same as a baby outside the womb.
At the very least the woman should be told what the procedure does, how it eliminates the life inside her. I heard on doctor explaining that the “electrical pulses” that some claim proves it is not a human because there is not heart beat said those pulses are a heart beat, that our hearts produce the same energy as long as we are alive. The facts from doctors and scientist say that life begins way before 12 weeks.
Woman stop being selfish, f you don’t want to get pregnant than do not have sex or use contraceptives. Period, a innocent life should not have to pay for your mistakes. 😡😥
Partly agree – but doesn’t the SPERMER share the “control” part?? They would if they were HELD RESPONSIBLE for all costs!!
The Husband , Spouse, Mate cannot stop an abortion. If the recipient wants one , shes got it. We have no recourse.
Abortion and birth control benefit MEN.
Life begins at conception. It is a known scientific fact. The nervous system is formed at 8-9 weeks. The heart is beating which indicates a functioning nervous system. This means that tiny baby feels pain just like the rest of us. Now think of the abortion method that rips off his/her little legs, arms and head and imagine the horrible pain inflicted on that innocent child. There is a special place in hell for those who perform and those who hire the hit man to kill their precious baby.
Substitute elected dems and RINOs for “aborted fetuses”, and, you`d be on to something…..
