It is a murderous disgrace that the Catholic Church does not encourage its 
flotilla of childless, virginal nuns to offer up their unoccupied wombs to 
carry these poor defenceless 100 cell but fully human persons to term! Then 
they could be placed in Catholic orphanages, where the care is famously 
trustworthy and well-received.
