A cemetery for aborted babies in Vietnam:

The cemetery was born from the initiative of a group of volunteers who wanted to celebrate the “sacredness of life” by giving the little fetuses a burial at least. Every day, volunteers go to collect victims from hospitals, clinics and even from garbage dumps, and then they bury them.

The cemetery is not officially recognized by the government, but it closes an eye to the practice, well regarded by Christians, Buddhists and Animists. Even members of the Vietnamese Communist Party have described the cemetery as a “sacred work of love”. Similar cemeteries have emerged near many parishes in Pleiku and in Ho Chi Minh city. 

Volunteers in Huê carry a notebook with them to list the names given to the victims. So far, one notebook per year has been sufficient but at least three will be needed for 2006, given the growing number of abortions.
