Ireland banned abortion for years under the boot of the Catholic church and we're only now discovering the remains of thousands of babies left to die in Mother & Baby homes for unwed and single mothers, ran by an order of nuns.

This is your future.

Yeah, I remember over 700 sets of infant remains were found just at a single property in Ireland a few years ago at a former home for unwed mothers. I know they were looking to do DNA testing and give proper burials, but I never heard of that actually happening due to funding.
