Mike Hoey, Missouri Catholic Conference executive director, sent a letter to Pathology Services Inc. this week, saying its "lab workers are part of the assembly line of the abortion industry."

"By agreeing, in advance, to take the human remains of these children aborted while in utero, you are facilitating this taking of innocent human life," Hoey wrote. "Knowing this, your only moral recourse is to say "NO, we will no longer cooperate, we will no longer help kill unborn babies."

Mike Hooey indeed.
