Obama’s beloved policy, abortion on demand, is getting some
(but amazingly little up to now) bad press in the wake of the trial of
Philadelphia abortion doctor Kermit Gosnell, which a substantial percentage of
Americans haven’t even yet heard of. If Dr. Gosnell’s lawyer is to be believed,
Gosnell operated only a typical neighborhood clinic, and if you walk into an
abortion clinic, abortion being the messy business that it is, you should
expect to see blood on the walls, urine, etc. on the floor, fetal remains in
the fridge, bodies of babies killed by “snipping” their spinal cords, and jars
of severed fetal body parts in jars, not to mention heavily drugged women, many
bleeding, some possibly dying. Gosnell’s alleged practice of using dirty
instruments from one woman to the next, without cleaning, then, would seem to
be a typical abortion-clinic matter. Gosnell claims that the prosecutors are
trying to hold his clinic to a Mayo Clinic standard, when it is merely a
neighborhood clinic. Of course, that’s because the prosecutors are, in his
view, elitist and racist.
Here's one report by a Fox News affiliate (with added comments by the uploader of the video):
The charges and history of Gosnell’s gruesome but profitable
butcher shop was surveyed in Fox News Channel's documentary “See No Evil,”
hosted by Bret Baier, which details accounts of murders of viable babies by severing of their spinal
cords, babies which exhibited the normal signs of being born alive, according
to former Gosnell staffers. Some of those Gosnell employees pleaded guilty to
murder and other charges. Based on Fox’s presentation and the Grand Jury
report, it would appear that everything connected with the Gosnell
establishment was tainted by murder, illegal abortions, illegal drug
trafficking, filth, and generally, a horror show of blood.
If the Grand Jury report is to be believed, Gosnell is the
worst mass killer or serial killer in American history. But he claims he is not
guilty of anything illegal, just maybe a mistake here and there. It appears
that in later times, Gosnell specialized in illegal late-term abortions
(anesthesia optional at extra cost), which allegedly sometimes ended up in the
murder of viable babies after their birth, and sometimes infection and death of
the mother due to ill treatment in unsanitary conditions by unqualified staff
members.
Not as bad as the crimes Gosnell is charged with, but, I
believe, highly offensive and worthy of serious attention, are (1) the fact
that Pennsylvania state authorities completely failed to investigate the clinic
for decades, apparently due to political reasons, despite numerous
complaints and lots of word-of-mouth evidence, patient deaths, etc., and (2)
the mainstream media’s ridiculous lack of coverage, which, Fox reports, a poll
found that people believe is mainly due to media bias. But of course, we don’t
have media bias, right? It’s beyond bias, to the point of willful manipulation.
What we have is a lapdog media that instead of “speaking truth to power,”
instead distorts, neglects, and hides the truth on behalf of the powerful.
Any way you look at it, it’s disgraceful. Of the major national news media
outlets, it looks like only Fox News was willing to give the story anything
like the coverage it warranted (see video below).
Like it or not, this episode is a serious test of America’s
character, and highlights the political manipulation of law enforcement and
media reporting. And it is a condemning indictment of public apathy and
acquiescence to the unconscionable reality of the money-hungry,
decency-be-damned death culture of the abortion industry. Gosnell’s shop is
simply one of the most horrifying examples.
