Gosnell's horrors & our abortion war

Without calling a single witness, the defense yesterday rested in the case of Dr. Kermit Gosnell, the Philadelphia abortionist facing five counts of murder. That’s one count of murder for allegedly killing a woman who came to his “Women’s Medical Society” in search of a late-term abortion, his specialty. And four counts for infants allegedly delivered and born alive, then callously murdered in cold blood as they fought for life. In a probably related note, President Obama has canceled plans to give the keynote address at tonight’s Planned Parenthood fund-raiser in Washington. With Gosnell in the headlines, it’s not a good time to embrace the abortion lobby — even for a man who as an Illinois state senator voted against protection for infants born alive as the result of botched abortions. Of course, for much of the trial, it wasn’t in the headlines, as most of the media chose to avert their eyes from the ugly consequences of an unalloyed “woman’s right to choose.” It wasn’t until liberal columnist Kirsten Powers outed many of the grisly details in a recent USA Today piece that other news outlets were shamed into finally addressing the case. But it wasn’t just the media that looked away. Even before Gosnell was charged, so did outfits like the National Abortion Federation, to which he’d applied for certification. Devoted to “safe, legal and accessible abortion care,” the NAF rejected him when it discovered the filth and squalor of his “clinic” — but never reported him to authorities.

Michael Wash, aka David Kahane is one of my favorite writers, and well worth following. Considered somewhat controversial, he is fearless and passionate about his beliefs, and one of the more interesting people I've met over the years. For those who can come along, he will be at the "Freedom on the Sea" conference all week, teaching and talking about writing and telling the conservative story better.

This is about a media that is deathly afraid of the wrath of militant fang-toothed feminazis and will not cover this case.

Sounds about right. By the time women realize they have screwed themselves over, it will be too late.

According to Gallup, only 28 percent of the public now supports legalized abortion under any circumstances.

Well, that is good news.
