    The Real Reason The National Media Ignored The Kermit Gosnell Case

    The horrific allegations against Dr. Kermit P. Gosnell, have finally gotten into the headlines of the major national media outlets. Everyone is now falling over themselves to make up for lost time covering the story and to denounce everyone else for failing to do so earlier.

Well, it certainly seems to be getting coverage now. Though I note that the reporters seem to feel compelled to put a PC spin on it, e.g. the stuff about exploitation of women and racism. Not that those are false accusations, just that they aren't exactly the most important issue, which is that this guy was murdering lots of children. I wonder at the cognitive dissonance these journalists must experience: in this particular case, it's obvious were talking about the murder of children. But if the clinic had been spotless, if no complications arose for the mothers, if every patient was treated with equal respect, it would be equally horrific from our point of view, but I doubt anyone in the mainstream media would give two hoots about it.

What is even more horrific is that everything that Gosnell did that is illegal in PA. is LEGAL in Canada. An unborn child has no legal status in Canada at all. We are truly a demonic country. At least in The USA people are fighting tooth and nail in state legislatures to have this abomination ended.

It's Fr. Enoch, when I took the small schema. My profile dates before that, and, I don't know how to change the name, so I didn't create a new one.

Yes this evil. Yet, this stuff happen EVERYWHERE. Though, Russian and Greece have much higher abortion rates and numbers (Greece is the highest in the EU). Notice how inspectors from an abortion organization noticed the horrible 'conditions' but still didn't say anything.

Jonathan is right; so, if everything was spotless, etc, there would still be no problem? They would praise Dr. Gosnell as he cut the heads of crying children, after all, they weren't even human 3 minutes before? Apparently some profound metaphysical transformation happens so that the fetus suddenly become human. The secularist abortionist and the liberal 'religious' pro-abortion advocates, have their own version of transubstantiation; apparently, by the actions and invocations of their priests (aka abortionists), they can determine when the fetus has their essence transformed into that of a human! Talk about real hocus pocus!

So, if this is just going to go, and Dr. Gosnell and the thousands of others who murder millions of children, can continue inside and outside the womb, what is the justification they're going to present when people seriously start demanding later term post-birth abortions of up to 1 or 2 years old?

In Christ,

Fr. Enoch

Yes, this horrendous "culture of death" not only involves abortion, but also includes (a) the death of frozen fertilized human zygotes as a by-product of invitro fertilization; (b) infanticide or the deliberate death of "defective" or "handicapped" newborns in UK hospitals who are left alone to starve; (c) the lack of surgical care for some infants and children with "Down's Syndrome" so that these children die; and (d) the promotion of euthanasia for those with mental illness, cancer, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, senility, etc.

Euthanasia is increasing as countries and states within the USA pass laws allowing for legal euthanasia. With the aging of America, concerns have been raised about Obamacare "Death Panels." For many years, here in California, city ambulances have been limiting the number of times that the city will transport senior citizens to an emergency room. Recently, a woman died in a retirement facility here in Bakersfield because according to the company policy, the nurse on duty could not attempt CPR, but was told to call 911 and wait for an EMT, who arrived too late.

Lord have mercy.

On the other hand, those "compassionate hearts" who advocate the killing of innocents and the elderly, often protest the killing of criminals, murderers, and terrorists.

According to The Washington Post, Marc Lamont Hill, of Huffington Post, admitted his bias and the news blackout:

“For what it’s worth, I do think that those of us on the left have made a decision not to cover this trial because we worry that it’ll compromise abortion rights. Whether you agree with abortion or not, I do think there’s a direct connection between the media’s failure to cover this and our own political commitments on the left. I think it’s a bad idea, I think it’s dangerous, but I think that’s the way it is.”

Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me a sinner.
