Philadelphia's Abortion Horror

Here in Philadelphia an abortion doctor, Kermit Gosnell, M.D., has been charged with murder in the death of a woman, 41-year-old Karnamaya Mongar, who came for an abortion. According to the Grand Jury inditement, he allowed untrained personel to adminster powerful anesthesia drugs which resulted in her death. Many other women wound up in emergency rooms with various injuries from his malpractice. In addition, a number of babies were born as a result of his performing late term abortions and he murdered them with a pair of sciossors. Philadelphia District Attorney, Seth Williams said during a press conference Wednesday that Gosnell "induced labor, forced the live birth of viable babies in the sixth, seventh, eighth month of pregnancy and then killed those babies by cutting into the back of the neck with scissors and severing their spinal cord."The district attorney also said patients were subjected to squalid and barbaric conditions at Gosnell's Women's Medical Society.Authorities went to investigate drug-related complaints at the clinic last year and stumbled on what Williams called a "house of horrors.""There were bags and bottles holding aborted fetuses scattered throughout the building," Williams said. "There were jars, lining shelves, with severed feet that he kept for no medical purpose."
The clinic was shut down and Gosnell's medical license was suspended after the raid.
Workers, some of whom were also charged with murder, were untrained and unlicensed, including a high-school student who performed anesthesia with potentially lethal narcotics, Williams said.
Not only am I, like any decent person would be, horrified and sickened by the horrific acts committed by this sick excuse for a physician. But I also think about the fact that the authorities who have oversight of the abortion clincs allowed this facility to operate for years. State regulators were given numerous reports of problems and yet NO ONE BOTHERED TO INVESTIGATE! Those of us who are Pro-Life have warned that the abortion business culture of death would lead to a de-valuing of human life. While this case is a more extreme example, it seems to me that the culture of death has desensitized us as a nation to the sanctity of life. If there is another explanation for the fact that, as D.A. Williams said, there is more oversight of a beauty parlor than an abortion clinic, I would like to hear it.
