In 1982, approximately 17,000 babies were found in a repossessed storage container in Los Angeles. The babies, many of whom were over 20 weeks gestation, were stored by a medical lab which received aborted babies from several states. A report<\/a> by the Leader-Post quotes then-spokesperson for the District attorney’s office, Al Albergate, as saying, “They said between five and seven were possibly viable,” or could have survived outside the mother’s womb.<\/p>\n

The babies were discovered at the residence of the lab owner, Melvin Weisberg, when the rented cargo container was repossessed for lack of payment.\u00a0The container company sent men to pick it up, but when they reported back that it was too heavy to move, they were asked to empty the container. That is when — to their horror — they discovered the bodies.<\/p>\n
