The Gosnell Case Strikes a Nerve
American Thinker ^ | May 4, 2013 | Alan W. Dowd

The trial of Kermit Gosnell has struck a nerve in a numbed America.

Gosnell's crimes were uncovered quite by accident during a 2010 FBI-DEA raid related to drug violations at Gosnell's abortion clinic. What the federal agents found was shocking: a beautician assisting on late-term abortions, blood-covered floors, reused disposable medical supplies, body parts stuffed in plastic bags. Whatever you wish to call those to whom Gosnell's macabre collection once belonged -- unviable tissue masses, fetuses, babies -- their remains weren't even accorded the respect a highway-cleanup worker gives road-kill. A grand jury report aptly called Gosnell's abortion mill a "house of horrors."

As The Washington Post reported, albeit belatedly, state regulators had ignored complaints about Gosnell, including 46 lawsuits filed against him, and made just five inspections -- which are supposed to be conducted annually -- since the clinic opened in 1979. The woman whose murder he is being tried for succumbed to lethal doses of pain killers and sedatives. The babies Gosnell is accused of murdering -- initial charges included seven newborns, but the judge threw out some of the cases -- were not so fortunate as to be sedated to death. To its credit, once the Post got around to covering the case, its reporting included eyewitness testimony -- too gruesome, too inhuman, too heartbreaking to include here -- describing how horribly these and other newborns died.

For those without strong views on abortion and even for many abortion supporters -- "reproductive-rights advocates," in media parlance -- the ghastly details of Gosnell's multi-million-dollar abortion enterprise are forcing them to consider two truths:

As long as the liberal Satanist Left is in control, this will continue. Since the American voters chose Obummer twice, they get what they want and deserve.

How many babies die before the conservatives get back into office and kill the killing rights of "doctors"?

Isn't it the FIRST aim of doctors to "do no harm"?

The Pennsylvania Health Department should be tried for murder also.

They are accessories to each of these murder, as is Pelosi, Obama and Harry Reid.

This is the most under reported serial murder trial in American history. Most people in America don’t know anything about it. And when they finally do, most are shocked and sickened. Personally the details of this case make me physically sick every time I think about them.

And this goes on every day in Planned Parenthood facilities subsidized by taxpayer dollars.

The media, health officials, and pro abortionists have deliberately hidden Gosnell from the public since the Mother’s day Massacre of 1972.

The media and pro abortionists can probably be held accountable only to God but the health officials should be held criminally responsible.

To make matters worse, it doesn’t appear to be an isolated case. As the states are imposing stricter laws governing abortion clinics, the clinics are being shut down all across America.

And that was before we passed laws requiring licensing, health inspections, and an actual Doctor be in the building as abortions are committed.

Is there a law in PA. addressing the issue if an abortion in process delivers a live baby then by law is the abortion doctor/facility required to administer life saving procedures or not? It seems the crux of this case would be dependent upon such an adherence or neglect of this lawful requirement if one even exists. Does anyone know?

This trial is a mother-load for the pro-life movement. Assuming he is convicted, they should immediately write several very graphic books, make a few documentaries for wide distribution, and otherwise broadcast the utter horror of what he did especially to young people.

Oddly enough, the best marketing push would be to first go for teenage *boys*, who are in the “I want to be grossed out” phase. In turn, they will be the best salesmen to teenage girls and parents.

DVDs should be clearly labeled as uncensored and banned. Likewise it should be distributed with limited copyright (no alterations and not for profit), with multi-language subtitles, on a bunch of the movie piracy sites.

Why would he have to snip their spinal cords if they were already dead, just asking.
