Russian Hospital is Caught Gagging Orphan Babies

I found this disturbing news story this morning. A woman was visiting a hospital when she stumbled upon a room full of orphaned babies that either had had their mouths taped shut or pacifiers taped into their mouths because the nurses didn't want to here their cries. This is so incredibly saddening. I would love to be able to go and save all of these babies. Why does nobody love them? Maybe these babies will get help now but what about all the other babies in different hospitals and orphanages that are being treated similarly. While nobody may be hearing their cries I pray that God will.

On a side note I think that this sort of thing really comes at no surprise given how undervalued human life really is in our world. Russia has the highest abortion rate in Europe only second to Romania. There are nearly 13 abortions for every 10 live births. Please don't tell me that if woman stopped having abortions that then there would be even more babies in this horrible situation. That is like saying that we should allow men to kill their wives or children when they become stressful so that they don't feel tempted to neglect or abuse them in the future. The point that I'm trying to make is that when you devalue one kind of human life all other kinds lose value as well.

Here is an article from awhile ago about the reality of abortion in Russia.
