Default 2000 dead fetus found in Buddha's temple recently, is Buddhism pro choice?

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20101119/ap_on_re_as/as_thailand_fetuses
@Atticus Hebson:
Its 2000 dead fetus.
@Fitz:
But its 2000 still new and not buried dead fetuses found in Buddha's temple.
The fetuses are still fresh and new.

Do you mean 2000 dead fetuses, or a 2000 year old fetus?

That was a shocking story.

I don't know WHY we're shocked -- with the millions upon millions of abortions performed worldwide each year, it would be probable that some weren't disposed of properly (if there could even be such a thing as proper disposal of a dead baby).

Maybe they are like the Catholics who bury important leaders inside the churches. It is the final resting place for infants.
I didn't read the article.

Thailand has outlawed Abortion. When Abortion is outlawed this is the result. Women still get abortions, they just do it in secret, and you end up with secret dump sites for fetuses.

Outlawing Abortion does not stop Abortion - it only removes if from your sight.

Did you even read the article?

"many Thais are conservative on sexual matters, and Buddhist activists especially oppose liberalizing abortion laws."

They had plastic back in Buddha's time, thus proving their technological advancement over the Christians.

The Christians abort the Fetuses, the Buddhist monks place them there for the Buddha to help them to the Pureland.

I wonder if they run newspaper articles in Thailand like "400 Dead Men, Women and Children found buried behind American Church!"

Yeah, don't judge cultures that you don't understand.

This is an illegal and immoral activity. It is the result of illegal abortions and illegal transfer of dead bodies to the temple for cremation. Involved people are being punished by law. This has nothing to do with Buddhism. Killing violates the first precept and the people who did that are not the real Buddhists.
