Now there are legislators who wish to label babies who lose there lives to abortion as "medical waste". Everyone knows tonsils, gallbladders and cancerous tumors (actual examples of medical waste) don't have eyes, hands,feet, hearts and brains, all of which are present  in a baby being aborted. Labels, no matter how undignified, do not change the fact that an abortion destroys a human life.  If we cannot respect this life while he/she is alive surely we can provide this small measure of respect I death.
