Abortionist Kermit Gosnell and his Women's Medical Society abortion clinic
By Dave Andrusko
Bitter irony, poor timing, or just plain wrong? The day before two of West Philadelphia abortionist Kermit Gosnell’s untrained workers plead guilty to third-degree murder charges a piece appears in the Philadelphia Weekly excoriating the legislature for attempting to pass a law that would prevent a repeat of Gosnell’s “House of Horrors” (the District Attorney’s description of Gosnell’s Women’s Medical Society).
We talk at “Two workers plead guilty to third-degree murder for their actions at abortionist Kermit Gosnell’s House of Horrors” about the plea bargaining of Andrea Moton and Sherry West. One—Morton—pled guilty for severing the spine of one baby aborted alive. The second—West—was present when Karnamaya Mongar died in 2009 after receiving an overdose of anesthesia.
Tara Murtha quotes from a statement from Rep. Matt Baker, chairman of the House Health Committee, who said, “Our mothers, daughters and sisters deserve at least that much.” That prompted this scornful reply from Murtha:
“Baker claims the bill is about medicine. But really, it’s about morality.”
My goodness, this, I gather, is supposed to a stunning rebuttal. But are medicine and morality as far apart as the East is from the West? What about medicine and ethics?
Some clinic regulation bill regulations passed this session—and hopefully Pennsylvania will soon join them—and more will pass in the sessions to come. Pro-abortionists say the regulations are either not needed, what you need to keep them under supervision is already in place (but not enforced), or they will exact a burdensome financial price from abortion clinics.
How convenient, and what an obvious preference for profits over women’s health.
Maria Vitale, Education Director for the Pennsylvania Pro-Life Federation, an affiliate of National Right to Life, put it best: “Gosnell and his unlicensed staff are charged with the murders of seven newborn babies and one female patient, but the grand jury believes that Gosnell was actually responsible for the deaths of hundreds of babies, while harming untold numbers of women.”
For far too long, abortion facilities have been operating in the dark, Vitale said. “The women of Pennsylvania deserve better, and enhanced oversight of abortion centers is long overdue.”
