It ain’t easy bein’ a baby killer!Then you might feel like Dr. Kermit Gosnell.
Scissoring up babies…it’s a lonely business.
From Art Gallagher:
Last week a Philadelphia Grand Jury recommended that Kermit B. Gosnell, MD be prosecuted for multiple counts of murder, the murder of babies born alive by severing their spinal cords with scissors, violations of the controlled dangerous substance act, theft by deception and other serious charges. The Grand Jury report was released the day before yesterday. You can read all 281 pages here. Here’s a preview:
“This case is about a doctor who killed babies and endangered women. What we mean is that he regularly and illegally delivered live, viable babies in the third trimester of pregnancy — and then murdered these newborns by severing their spinal cords with scissors. The medical practice by which he carried out this business was a filthy fraud in which he overdosed his patients with dangerous drugs, spread venereal disease among them with infected instruments, perforated their wombs and bowels — and, on at least two occasions, caused their deaths. Over the years, many people came to know that something was going on here. But no one put a stop to it.”
According to this Google news search,Google News: Kermit B. Gosnell, MD, only conservative commenter Michelle Malkin has reported on the massacre as of 1:30 this afternoon.
Congressman Chris Smith referred to the charges against Gosnell during his press conference yesterday. Smith said a Philadelphia CBS-TV affiliate had a report. Good for them. Where is the rest of the media? Where is the Associate Press? The Philadelphia newspapers, the South Jersey newspapers? The national media?

Don’t condemn the man just yet though, he’s just “confused”:
However, the 69-year-old did not seem to understand the other seven counts until he was told that they related to live-birth viable babies that he allegedly killed using scissors, reports CBS affiliate KYW.
“Is it possible you could explain the seven counts?” he asked. “I understand the one count because of the patient who died but not the others.”
Gosnell was also caught off guard when District Judge Jane Rice ordered that he be remanded without bail.
“Is there some cause to believe I’m a risk or might flee?” he asked.
You see? It was all a big misunderstanding. He didn’t mean to sever those babies spinal cords with scissors.
After all, it was the mother’s right.
Right?
