An ABC News article appeared recently on the Kermit Gosnell trial that included remarks from one pro-life spokeswoman (our own Ann Scheidler, Vice President of the Pro-Life Action League), as well as one “pro-choice” spokeswoman (National Abortion Federation President Vicki Saporta). Kermit Gosnell and Vicki Saporta
In the article reporter Colleen Curry quotes or paraphrases Saporta in each of the last four paragraphs. Here are the first two:
Vicki Saporta, president for the abortion rights group National Abortion Federation, said that Gosnell took advantage of the women who came to him in need of an abortion. She said his clinic is not representative of safe, regulated abortion clinics.
“Unfortunately, you do have rogue providers that prey on the most vulnerable of women and regardless of a woman’s income level they deserve access to high quality care,” Saporta said.
It’s also worth noting that Curry wrote another article earlier this week on the Gosnell trial for which she also interviewed Saporta. In that article, Saporta called Gosnell an “extreme outlier.” And now, a few days later, we see Saporta calling Gosnell one of those “rogue providers that preys on the most vulnerable of women.”
Oh?
As pro-life blogger JivinJehoshaphat wrote after Curry’s first article appeared on Monday:
Kermit Gosnell worked one day a week at a National Abortion Federation clinic in Delaware called Atlantic Women’s Services. For Vicki Saporta to claim Gosnell was “an extreme outlier” when he worked at a NAF clinic and even got patients from that clinic shows just how much confidence the abortion industry has in the media to cover their rears.
What’s more, Saporta acknowledged in a January 21, 2011 open letter that the NAF knew about the horrific conditions in Gosnell’s facility–in fact, an NAF evaluator who visited his so-called clinic in 2009 went far as to say it “was deemed beyond redemption”–and yet neglected to report him to authorities.
Once the Gosnell story first broke in early 2011, the NAF could no longer pretend they’d never heard of Gosnell. At that point, they had to throw him under the bus.
The final paragraph of the recent ABC News article reads:
“The fact that he wasn’t providing care later and wasn’t ensuring fetal demise and not operating under any established standards of care and outside of the law is the problem in this case, and not indicative of the high quality care available across the country,” Saporta said [emphasis added].
Leaving aside for the moment the demonstrable absurdity of Saporta’s comments about the “high quality care available” in abortion clinics across the country, note in particular her claim that the problem with Gosnell was that he “wasn’t ensuring fetal demise”.
Full stop.
In other words, then, according to the president of the National Abortion Federation: The problem with Gosnell is not that he was killing newborns. The problem with Gosnell is that he was not killing pre-newborns.
Even if that job is killing babies. /major sarc
I thought that we had to legalize abortion so that people would not die in back ally abortions.
You know if we legalize it, we will be able to police it and keep women safe.
Oh they were just kidding. They really said those things to fool stupid people. Their real purpose is to hold down the black population and sacrifice innocent babies to Baal, head of the DNC.
The least they can do is put these babies to sleep before they kill them. Even rabid dogs that get put down get some dignity.
These GODLESS ANIMALS shred conscious babies with vacuum nozzles, burn them with chemicals and cut their necks.
What a disgusting lot. Those who sacrificed their children to the evil one in days of yore had nothing on these goons.
Wonder how they will like it when the next generation ensures elderly demise? These monsters certainly should reap what they’ve sown.
I can’t take much more of these A holes. Exactly what is the difference between killing a baby in the womb vs outside?? NOTHING! Only a profound intellectual midget dosen’t get the absurdity here.
I beg to differ. He absolutely made sure every single baby died, even the ones that came out alive!
Shhhhhhhhhh! To do that would be to admit that the "fetus" is a baby, and that the baby [gasp] feels pain as the abortionist tears the child limb-from-limb.
So the abortion industry (NARAL, Planned Parenthood et al) fiercely oppose any legislative attempt to even introduce bills addressing "fetal pain."
The whole idea of elective abortion is to kill the kid. Don’t fancy it up with nice sounding names or medical jargon.
There are abortion providers that do that. When partial birth abortion was outlawed, they schemed to create a new procedure. They inject the child with digoxin which arrests the heart. After the baby dies, still inside the mother, they remove it piece by piece.
Anesthetizing the baby is just sugar-coating the point, which is to kill a human being. Please don’t give the pro-aborts an inch....they’ll take 10 miles. Allowing them to sugar coat this makes it an easier sell to those who may have concerns regarding fetal pain. Lets not lose sight of the pure evil here.
Oh is that all?! She must have run out of commas on her last statement excusing this type of activity.
He wasn’t making sure everything he touched died?
The guy sounded a bit like he held the sword of Destiny in his hands during every procedure. I am surprised the women didn’t turn to ash.
It’s like reading outtakes from Murder, Inc.
With these people, when you tell them to kill your kid, by god that kid is dead dead dead, if they have to take a sledgehammer to him.
Beyond horrifying. From the same people who wring their hands over the death penalty for some mass murderer...like Kermit Gosnell.
>> She said his clinic is not representative of safe, regulated abortion clinics.
Safe? What a #ing assclown.
...regardless of a woman’s income level they deserve access to high quality care...
It says so right in the "living constitution."
