When the Newtown shooting took the lives of 20 children, the nation was justifiably horrified. Journalists reported round the clock on ways to change public policy to prevent another shooting. But when seven children and a mother died in a Philadelphia abortion clinic dubbed a “house of horrors,” the major media couldn’t have cared less.
It’s a news story that reads more like a Hollywood torture plot – “Saw” or “Hostel” or some other movie so foul that it makes you want to take a shower just having viewed it.
Only this case is real and the media are keeping it real quiet because it betrays the barbarity of the abortion industry in open court, where they can’t hide. It’s all about abortion “doctor” Kermit Gosnell and the purportedly Medieval facility he ran to kill babies – both before they were born and after, claim prosecutors. Eight clinic employees have already pleaded guilty to “various charges.”

It’s racist to talk about this.
Just a little something else that is not common knowledge...
Just about every D&C Surgical Instrunent Set contains a set of curettes for endometrial biopsies, including the “Kevorkian”. It is the oddball of the bunch, having a squared blade rather than the normal “loop” blade.
As far as I know the Kevorkian is only used to perform abortions, not biopsies. No real point to my post other than the name of at least one abortionist tool named after its inventor...
Dr. Jack “Death” Kevorkian.

Except for all the abandoned babies whose families couldn’t or wouldn’t feed them...some exposed, some put into little revolving receptacles at orphanages. Some few even lived. Witness the Italian surnames Esposito, Abbandonato.
As I said: the length and breadth of Christendom was pro-life. The Medieval institutional response to unwanted pregnancy was a revolving receptacle at an orphanage, not an abattoir.
I really like this idea.

Horrendous stuff. I don’t mean to offend anyone’s sensibilities out there but we need to get this out to as many people as possible. Did Obama vote against a ban on late term abortions? Live-birth abortions? If he did we should remember the words of Edmund Burke, “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil, is for enough good men to do nothing.” Shame! And please don’t view the photos accompanying the second article if you are easily offended at photos in an abattoir. I saw one photo where Dr. (?) Gosnell had actually put baby feet in a beaker.

How many wet nurses were there for abandoned pauper children, or even goats? The great majority died of starvation or disease. Then as now, people were ruled by their sex drive, and not by the consequences.

Some more charitable reflections:
A medieval family could easily suffer catastrophe: a failed harvest, the husband dead before the baby’s birth, the mother dead in childbirth, so that the baby’s poor chances in the orphanage were better, the family hoped, than outside it.
In a time when child mortality was 50% or more, the far higher death rates in the orphanages were not as shocking as they are to us. If earlier people had waited for life to be as safe and certain as we moderns consider proper for having children, then there would be no people at all.
Babies weren’t always sent to religious orphanages, and they weren’t abandoned only by families on the verge of starvation. Baby farms and angel makers were commercial enterprises lasting into the early nineteenth century and even middle class people sometimes dealt with their extra children that way, and wealthy people with their embarrassments.
A quarter century ago, I bought a book on child abandonment and exposure, whose title I cannot recall, and which is shelved according to some forgotten scheme, but it quoted an Classical Greek or Roman writer, that the Jews were the only people who did not expose their children.
