On Saturday, thousands of people gathered at 132 locations throughout the United States for the second annual National Day of Remembrance for Aborted Children. Among these sites were 41 graves where the remains of aborted children are buried. Over 28,000 aborted babies have been given a proper burial at these sites, but they represent only a fraction of the more than 56 million children aborted since the Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton Supreme Court decisions in 1973.
In the Diocese of Raleigh, services were held at Our Lady of Guadalupe Parish in Newton Grove, where 157 babies were buried in 1988. The babies were later moved to a site under the Marian Shrine of the Unborn. This is the only known cemetery in North Carolina that has aborted babies buried in it.
