A doctor accused of running a filthy "abortion mill" for decades in an impoverished Philadelphia neighborhood delivered babies alive, killed them with scissors and allowed a woman who had survived 20 years in a refugee camp to be overmedicated and die at his clinic, prosecutors said.Everyone's horrified, but by what? He's not licensed and his aborttoir wasn't inspected? So what: abortion clinics aren't regulated (the only thing that isn't under the Progressive creed). He killed babies by stabbing them in the head? That's what partial-birth abortion is -- and abortion groups claim Dr. Carhart, who champions that particular deed, is a hero for it. He was cavalier with a woman's life? Happens all the time (see clinics, unregulated). The story suggests there's something unsavory about this clinic being a "mill." So the frequency of procedures there is objectionable? Why, precisely?
Dr. Kermit Gosnell, 69, was charged Wednesday with eight counts of murder for the deaths of seven babies and one patient. Nine employees also were charged, including four with murder.
Prosecutors described the clinic as a "house of horrors" where Gosnell kept baby body parts on the shelves, allowed a 15-year-old high school student to perform intravenous anesthesia on patients and had his licensed cosmetologist wife do late-term abortions. A family practice physician, Gosnell has no certification in gynecology or obstetrics.
Who the hell cares? It's only women.
