Doctors Seek Asylum After Exposing Ukraine Abortion for Cosmetics Scandal

The doctors were part of a group working to uncover a macabre system of medical trafficking in the bodies of unborn babies, European Life Network reported today. Doctors were deceiving women into aborting their babies for false "medical" reasons, and then selling the bodies of the children. The children would be aborted live, and their bodies cut into separate organs. In some cases live dissection took place.

Most of the body parts were apparently sold to the burgeoning cosmetic industry of "foetal tissue" youth-enhancing treatments, as well as quack "medical therapies."

This is one of my minor complaints about some Bible translations, the way they chop up Paul's writings into multiple sentences. I remember disagreeing with someone in a Sunday School class in my old church. He, using the NIV, thought 2 different verses were different thoughts. I, using the NASB, argued "but they're in the same sentence!"
