Dr. Parks reached up to a shelf and brought down several pieces of metal that were parts of a meatgrinder and placed them on the counter. Next, he assembled the grinder and clamped it to the countertop. As I looked at the grinder I realized that it was very old and resembled the same meatgrinder that my mother used years ago to grind up meat into hamburger meat. Dr. Parks then began to empty each bucket into the hopper on top of the grinder, and his left hand pressed the fetal tissue down into the hopper as he turned the handle with his right hand, grinding the tissue. As he did this the tissue oozed out of the end of the grinder like multiple tubes of pink toothpaste. After all the fetuses were ground up into a large bucket, he [Dr. Parks] dumped the contents into the sink and washed it down the sink with water. Finally, he disassembled the grinder, rinsed it off, and placed it back on the shelf.
