However, an even more gruesome, horrific, unspeakably evil, beyond-human-comprehension, massacre has been uncovered the last few days, and I believe that very few in the nation have heard about it. I am referring to the Philly abortion \/ infanticide \/ drug OD operation run by Kermit Gosnell – for over 30 years! The details are very grim, and are hard to believe, how any one human that has any heart, soul, or conscience, could perform such atrocities. The clinics’ acts included killing hundreds of live babies outside the womb, (including a procedure of snipping babies’ spinal cords in the back of their necks, like one would cut a string with scissors)…. but he also over drugged his patients who were in such intense pain, or had second thought about the procedures.<\/p>\n
He also ran the most filthy, infected, unsanitary clinic imaginable, with blood, urine, discarded fetuses strewn everywhere. Finally, he engaged in every and any sort of criminal deceptive activity, to ensure he could perform any abortion at any stage, despite laws against late term abortions (falsifying addresses, falsifying medical records, etc). Think of the worst horror show \/ nightmare imaginable, and that would look mild compared to the depths that this monster carried out for 30 years. He did everything humanly possible to squeeze every penny out of his pregnant clients – regardless of patients’ pregnancy stage or mental and physical state – to the tune of about $1.8 million per year.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
While abortion has never been my main political topic – I’m personally a pro-lifer, and think Roe <\/em>needs to be reversed as bad law – the Gosnell story is enough to turn any libertarian into a pro-lifer; enough to make me want to grab some of those leftyblog\/leftymedia hamsters who point to the murders of two abortion doctors in two decades by lunatic fringers and tell ’em “the score has swung waaaay past even”.<\/p>\nJonz:<\/p>\n
Again, though, I am sure that most will hear almost nothing about this story. Why? Because the babies were mostly minorities? Because the babies were only 24 weeks from conception? Because abortion is a taboo topic in the US? None of these justify allowing such horrific slaughter to go unrecognized in our society.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
True.<\/p>\n
Know what “justifies” it to the left and media (pardon the redundancy)?<\/p>\n
Knowing that this story is going to impede the mission of safeguarding the civil sacrament of abortion. \u00a0Because human life – that of minority and poor mothers, as well as countless babies – just like fair and equal treatment of women, all go by the boards when the left, and “feminism”, feel that one of their political goals is in danger.<\/p>\n
And so people just can’t know about it<\/em>.<\/p>\nI am more concerned with what happens in our society beyond the prosecution of Gosnell and his accomplices. How did the Pennsylvania State Dept of Health and Human Services go 30 years, with either no – or inadequate – inspections? More people need to be held to account than just Gosnell. What makes this Philly massacre more tragic than the Tucson massacre, is that if people had done their jobs, many innocent lives taken in Philly easily could have been saved. Why as a society do we not value those lives, as much as the lives in Tucson?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Oh, that’s easy.<\/p>\n
Tucson involved an elected, photogenic Democrat official.<\/p>\n
Philly unphotogenic crimes and non-jet-set victims involve a judicially imposed “right” that’s more important than human life, than individual womens’ health, than the rest of the entire Constitution to a good chunk of our society, to its supporters. \u00a0To the hard left, protecting abortion is a civic jihad, more important than any individual (especially the declass\u00e9 <\/em>brown women who were Dr. Gosnell’s customers and victims.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Has it really only been two weeks since the Tucson Massacre?
