The case of Kermit Gosnell has finally garnered the attention it deserves. I won't belabour it further here. For wonderful synopsi of the case, look to Kirsten Powers of USA Today on the media coverup of the horror. Check this article from pro-choice daily beast journalist Megan McArdle to hear an honest confession of that coverup. http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2013/04/12/why-the-mainstream-media-is-not-covering-the-gosnell-abortion-trial.html, and search the Grand Jury report of Gosnell's crimes to get the details of a criminal enterprise so sickening that grand jury investigators literally threw up when they entered that "House of Horrors" to investigate. Not since the extermination of the Jews, and the genocides in Rwanda and Darfur has a "civilized" nation borne witness to such institutionalized brutality.
I will not repeat the evil that Kermit Gosnell and his staff committed. The only point that I would like to see better clarified in this whole circus is the closing of several abortion clinics within the umbrella of greater Philadelphia and the surrounding region after the media blackout of the Gosnell trial was lifted. 2 clinics of "Abortion as an Alternative, Inc." Have been permanently closed after investigators probed into their operations in light of the Gosnell trial.
Check that, the veil has been lifted all over the country. In Illinois, where abortion clinics have worked unchecked for 15 years, investigations following the Gosnell trial's break into the light of day have found conditions eerily similar to Gosnell. Conditions that the Illinois state health department said "threaten the public interest, health, safety and welfare" http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/ct-oped-0423-byrne-20130423,0,4363217.column 2 of the state's 9 abortion clinics have been "temporarily closed" for conditions so deplorable that they represent a direct threat to the public. As the article points out, 2 out of 9 constitutes 22% of abortion clinics in the state.
At Planned Parenthood, two registered nurses recently quit, saying that they were scared to be implicated in the criminal activity that routinely took place at these "women's health" centers. One of these RNs had this to say about her former employer. “It was just unsafe. I can’t tell you how ridiculously unsafe it was,” said Mitchell-Werbrich. “Planned Parenthood needs to close its doors, it needs to be cleaned up," http://www.operationrescue.org/archives/planned-parenthood-workers-tell-of-gosnell-like-conditions-at-clinic-that-injured-women/
So what, they will say. These two nurses had a bad experience. The doctors and nurses and administrators responsible were fired, they will say. Planned Parenthood decried the practices, they will say. Bullshit, say I. Operation Rescue volunteers have been monitoring this particular clinic for years. In just the past month, they have caught on video tape the emergency removal of patients from the premises, in ambulances, to emergency facilities. They have been raising hell trying to get that clinic investigated, but until now authorities have dismissed their cries, along with those of the poor women who are being traumatized and disfigured in the name of their "rights" How about the right to be treated with some Goddamn respect?
This is not a rare occurance. It is not isolated to the Gosnell case. There is an epidemic of bloody and cold abuses of human life and dignity that literally spans decades. Women and children are submitted to inhuman conditions, all in the name of protecting their "rights". And what rights are those? The right to be abused, preyed upon and neglected for profit? The right to be maimed, abandoned, denied medical treatment while they lie on bloody death beds where their children are artifically delivered into a living hell?
Let's stop pretending. Let's clean this industry up and hold them all accountable for their crimes.
