How indeed can any of our sins ever be forgiven?
Pray for their repentance and conversion, however unlikely it may seem.

PHILADELPHIA, April 8, 2013 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Former abortion worker Sherry West testified that she heard a baby “screaming” and “screeching” during an "abortion" that took place at Kermit Gosnell's “House of Horrors” abortion facility.
The proprietor, Dr. Kermit Gosnell, asked her to help him with something and directed her to another room. There an 18-to-24-inch baby, who did not yet have eyes, was lying in a clear glass pan, she recalled in horror. It was “screeching, making this noise” that “sounded like a little alien," she said. It “really freaked me out,” she said, causing her to leave the room.
Eyewitnesses report that West was clearly shaken by recalling the traumatic event during Gosnell's trial for third-degree murder in Philadelphia this morning.
Gosnell regularly killed babies by delivering them outside the womb, then “snipping” their spinal cords with a pair of scissors.
West, who began working for Gosnell “under the table” in 2007 after having a nervous breakdown, said she called the babies killed at the facility “specimens,” because the terminology made it “easier to deal with mentally.” West had been one of Gosnell's patients.
West testified that Gosnell asked the unqualified employee who administered the fatal dose of medication to 41-year-old immigrant Karnamaya Mongar to lie and say that Gosnell was responsible.
West told prosecutors today that she was trained by Gosnell to administer medication and insert IVs by other employees, including teenagers. She could not pronounce the name of a medication she administered, according to local media reports.
The Women's Medical Society, located at 3801 Lancaster Avenue in West Philadelphia, has been branded a “House of Horrors” for unsanitary conditions that included flea-infested cats defecating on recliners where post-abortive women recovered, unsterilized medical equipment transmitting STDs between patients, and jars of aborted fetal parts.
Many of the babies he killed were well beyond the state of Pennsylvania's 24-week limit. Former employee Kareema Cross testified that Gosnell joked one of the babies was big enough to “walk me to the bus stop.”
Gosnell is on trial for third-degree murder and faces the death penalty. His lawyer, Jack McMahon, has attempted to play the race card by denouncing the prosecution of Gosnell, who is black, as “elitist and racist” and “a prosecutorial lynching.”
West plead guilty to third-degree murder in October 2011, as well as to delivering drugs that resulted in death, conspiracy and participating in a corrupt organization.
She is testifying as part of a plea bargain. West could face 70-100 years in prison on those charges.
Yeah I hate to say it but I think FoxNews is made up of a bunch of pro-aborts, or at least wussies too afraid to defend the right to life. What a shame. Even O’Reilly who was so opposed to George Tiller, has, to my knowledge, been silent on this. Unbelievable.
Hey Bill, who’s lookin out for you?
Don't be so sure of that. The record is quite clear that divine chastisement can and does fall upon a sinful nation, on the just as well as the unjust.

and I think the past five years has been the accelerated divine chastisement upon this country
As Mark Steyn notes, the MSM may not be covering the horror of the Kermit Gosnell trial, but the combination of the Gosnell trial and Planned Parenthood’s recent inadvertent truth-telling about its willingness to abort a baby born alive represent a one-two punch of reality that every pro-life advocate should remember.Amidst this month’s arguments that cultural changes are “inevitable” and irresistible, the abortion industry’s constant setbacks — both in public opinion and in legislatures across the country — must frustrate and puzzle the sexual revolutionaries. As the saying goes, reality always gets a vote, and the reality of abortion is unspeakably brutal. The abortion industry thrives only by shielding the public from as much of that brutality as possible. Abortion advocates can scream “Todd Akin” all they want, but Todd Akin never killed a screaming, crying child. Kermit Gosnell did.
Every now and again even the most dedicated need to be reminded of the stakes of the battle they fight, and Gosnell and Planned Parenthood have helped stoke the motivations of the larger pro-life community. The abortion industry, born in racism and eugenics, thrives through diversion and deception. By contrast, an effective short tactical mission statement for the pro-life community would be simply this: Tell the truth — as often as you can, to as many audiences as you can.
So long as there exists a shred of respect for innocent life in this culture, reality will be the pro-life advocate’s best friend.
This is a story about a pure and simple soulless psychopath. Jeff Dahlmer has nothing on him.
It is amazing how humans can wrap their heads around mass murder. It is one degree of evil for an individual to go nuts and do this...it is a whole different degree with a whole society encourages and condones it.

This is so horrific, but people in Philadelphia and elsewhere stand by and cheer the brutality. America has been doomed since 1973 but is too dumb to know it.
The left doesn’t want this public for sure, but neither do the gullible and foolish American people.

I’ve always called Planned Parenthood, Klanned Parenthood.
If I can be judged for the sins of my neighbor which are completely out of my control then it invalidates the fundemental basis of Christianity.
If you think Christianity is purely a private affair between yourself and the Lord, you completely miss the fundamental basis of Christianity.
You think the Lord owes you nice treatment for your good behavior? On what basis? Since when does the Lord owe you anything?
The Catholic Church is ready to help you out of your works-based confusion, whenever you’re ready.
The fundamental basis of Christianity is Christ dying for our sins. My redemption is based on accepting him as my Lord and savior. It is not based on my neighbor's relationship with God, nor is it based on my Country's relationship with God.
You think the Lord owes you nice treatment for your good behavior? On what basis? Since when does the Lord owe you anything?
I never said either thing.
The Catholic Church is ready to help you out of your works-based confusion, whenever you’re ready.
It's always good advice to seek the guidance of the Church in times of confusion.
