The entire thrust of the business world is to make a profit. However, when businesses abandon ethical standards in order to pursue wealth, they can quickly find themselves entangled in gross evil. Much like those that profited from the Jewish Holocaust of the 1940’s, companies that service the abortion industry today are sacrificing business ethics for their love of the “almighty dollar.”

Degussa’s Profit from the Plundering of the Jews

During the Holocaust, the German precious metal company Degussa profited greatly from the plundering and deaths of millions of Jews. Although Degussa operated the largest refinery in Germany, at first, business was slow due to foreign exchange issues. However, in 1938, when the Third Reich demanded the confiscation of all Jewish-owned gold, silver and platinum, Degussa became the premiere company for the Nazi’s refinery needs.

As the Nazi’s “precious metals campaign” was underway, Degussa began to receive numerous contractual offers from the Third Reich, and shipments of seized wedding bands, watches, eyeglasses and other metallic items started pouring into Degussa’s factories. Additionally, before multiple thousands of Jews were exterminated in Nazi gas chambers, those who possessed gold dental fillings were required to have the metal extracted from their mouths. Those fillings were then sent to Degussa to be processed.

It has been said that the corporate leadership of Degussa did not give much thought about where the sudden deluge of metal shipments came from, but for the workers at the factories, it was quite obvious. Some of Degussa’s officials stated that they feared that if they did not accept the shipments, they would lose their contracts with the Third Reich, and thus also their handsome profits.

After the metal was refined, Degussa delivered the gold bars to the German treasury (or to other entities as instructed by the Nazis), which was then used like cash to help further their unthinkable task. Degussa also used Jewish slave labor to run their factories, with one of the facilities – Gleiwitz – stationed in the middle of Auschwitz. Because the company wanted to “constantly boost production quantities” and avoid losing the Nazi’s business, they felt that slave labor would help their corporation’s already rising status. Degussa is also said to have manufactured Zyklon B, the poison gas that was used to exterminate the Jews in the various concentration camps.

Although those that rose up against the detestable actions of the Nazi government thankfully brought the Jewish Holocaust to an end, a holocaust still remains in our midst today. Every day, 4,000 unborn children are murdered in the womb in the name of “choice.” Sadly, like Degussa, a number of businesses are willing to aid the abortion industry in their unthinkable task, despite the fact that doing so equates to receiving blood money for the murder of the innocent.

Stericycle, the leading medical waste company in North America, is one of the largest collaborators with the abortion industry. Among Stericycle’s corporate clients is Planned Parenthood, which operates hundreds of killing centers nationwide, many of which are signed under a multi-year contract with the company.

Not only does Stericycle service abortion mills by picking up their blood-stained gloves, gowns, linens and sharps, but they also collect, transport and incinerate the aborted babies themselves. Undoubtedly, Stericycle’s contracts with the abortion industry provide much financial gain for the already billion-dollar grossing corporation.

While Stericycle — like Degussa — should completely distance itself from the abortion industry out of ethical fortitude, the corporation rather takes a lackadaisical approach to the horrors of abortion. One of Stericycle’s representatives explained regarding the company’s acceptance of fetal remains:

“We don’t determine what trimester anything is classified for, for waste. We accept regulated medical waste based on whatever state your facilities are located in, so each state’s regulations vary state by state across the country. So, you have to review their ‘definition’ of what human remains are, and then you have to review what their definition of pathological material is, and as long as it classifies as regulated medical waste — based on that definition — you segregate it from your sharps or any other red-bagged material, and it needs to be packaged appropriately based on what your state’s recommendations list, and it needs to be listed as incinerate only.”

The Campaign to Stop Stericycle, a nationwide effort to reprove Stericycle for its involvement with the abortion industry, states that if companies like Stericycle were unwilling to service abortionists, the abortion holocaust would soon come to a screeching halt. The organization is calling upon the multi-millionaire executives of Stericycle to quickly discontinue the company’s involvement with the abortion industry and do what is right.

However, it seems that the pursuit of wealth and the fear of losing contracts has once again come full circle. While Stericycle may not have any qualms about its status as the premiere company for the abortion industry’s “medical waste” needs, it must learn a lesson from Degussa’s moral failures and refuse any involvement in such wicked schemes. Until then, history continues to repeat itself, demonstrating once again that the love of money is indeed the root of all evil.
