Even with a thriving sex tourism industry, abortion is illegal in Thailand, barring a few exceptions like rape or if the mother’s health is compromised by the pregnancy. Naturally, this leads to a thriving practice of illegal abortion clinics, which produce a large number of aborted fetuses that must be discretely disposed of—or horrifyingly backlogged.
Via HuffPo:
Thai authorities found about 2,000 remains in the temple’s mortuary, where they had been hidden for a year — apparently to conceal illegal abortions.
A strong stench had drawn police to the temple in Bangkok’s old city Tuesday, and authorities searching the mortuary — where bodies awaiting cremation are normally kept — initially found more than 300 fetuses. They returned Friday to find more than five times that number, according to police Lt. Col. Kanathud Musiganont.
This has made me give up on humanity.
It doesn’t matter if you outlaw it… Women are going to get an abortion if they need one.
I didn’t know there were Republicans in Thailand.
i would like mine four stars, please.
“Temple Full of Fetuses” sounds like a Cannibal Corpse record.
My first thought was an Indiana Jones movie, Doug.
Dear God.
Boy, are incinerator repair men really so hard to find? Isn’t that the same reason that Georgia crematorium stashed all those corpses everywhere?
Right you are, Cory.
