We generally avoid dwelling on matters covered at length in regular media or in secular blogs - but things are at times just so brutally perverted we cannot avoid speaking up.
Never has the comparison between the worst genocides of the 20th century and the horror of abortion been more appropriate than in the news that several units of the National Health Service (NHS) of the United Kingdom have been using the remains of aborted and miscarried babies as fuel. May these tiny brothers and sisters of ours, whose remains were burned for production of electricity and heat, through the mercy of God rest in peace.
This is an opportunity also to speak to your more reticent friends and family members, acquaintances and coworkers about abortion. The brutality of this is just so great that it opens a door to the hearts of many, who can then begin to understand how horrid the abortion industry is, how it is against all that is good and beautiful and promising in mankind. Do not shirk from it: conversion is at hand also when we force others to understand the full truth of what the culture of death really entails.

Parce, Domine, parce populo tuo:
