Michelle Bauman, a 15-year-old sophomore at Bishop Machebeuf High School in Denver recently added her voice to those surrounding a debate over a Boulder parish and its burial of almost 500 aborted babies last month.
Bauman wrote a brief paper for her honors English class in response to an article she read in the Denver Post, which discussed the uproar surrounding the burial, something that has thrust the abortion debate into the public spotlight in the Denver area media.
Sacred Heart of Mary had been burying the cremated remains of babies from the Boulder Abortion Clinic, the first free-standing, legal abortion clinic in the country, quietly for years before the church went public in January. The remains came from a local mortuary who receives them from the abortion clinic.
Bauman’s paper responds to the pro-abortion uproar stemming from the incident and attempts to highlight the clear flaws in the arguments.
