Why Dr. Kermit Gosnell's Trial Should Be a Major News Story

By Conor Friedersdorf, The Atlantic | National Journal

The grand jury report in the case of Dr. Kermit Gosnell, 72, is among the most horrifying I've read. "This case is about a doctor who killed babies and endangered women. What we mean is that he regularly and illegally delivered live, viable babies in the third trimester of pregnancy - and then murdered these newborns by severing their spinal cords with scissors," it states. "The medical practice by which he carried out this business was a filthy fraud in which he overdosed his patients with dangerous drugs, spread venereal disease among them with infected instruments, perforated their wombs and bowels - and, on at least two occasions, caused their deaths."

Charged with seven counts of first-degree murder, Dr. Gosnell is now standing trial in a Philadelphia courtroom. An NBC affiliate's coverage includes testimony as grisly as you'd expect. "An unlicensed medical school graduate delivered graphic testimony about the chaos at a Philadelphia clinic where he helped perform late-term abortions," the channel reports. "Stephen Massof described how he snipped the spinal cords of babies, calling it, 'literally a beheading. It is separating the brain from the body.' He testified that at times, when women were given medicine to speed up their deliveries, 'it would rain fetuses. Fetuses and blood all over the place.'"

Seems this gruesome story is finally getting told outside the Philly area - even if still somewhat hesitantly.

Wasn’t the intent of the promoters of legalized abortion like Margaret Sanger a eugenic limitation of the impacts upon society caused by the birthrate of black mothers?

Also, go to the NBC News Facebook page and ask them why they are not reporting it.

I searched our local rag, Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, today for articles about this.

Nothing published since mid-March, outrageous!

YAHOO must have concluded what the WaPooPoo did: "it's just a local story".

The main reason it’s not getting out is the Associated Press has muzzled it - they have not added the “abortion” tag to their ‘cloud’. LexisNexis only had one or two references, so there has been no interest from outside the Philly area. From what I’ve seen, little is mentioned on the local ABC/CBS/NBC stations; FoxNews has an occasional squib, and the Philly Inquirer has done most reporting here.

The reduction of poverty and crime via less black babies was part of the argument for Roe vs. Wade.

Because abortion is a sacrament in the leftist religion that they don’t have the guts to shine a light on.

It was on CNN and MSNBC today so maybe they are catching on. I checked when I saw this story. They probably are only covering it when the trial begins just like Zimmerman....lol.
