In an article for PhillyBurbs.com, reporter J. D. Mullane describes what he saw at the Gosnell trial. He witnessed some of the most grisly testimony imaginable, and yet he also saw an empty press pool area. The court had set aside about 40 seats for reporters. Still, it stayed virtually empty. Mullane ponders why hardly any reporters showed up to cover the trial.
I asked one of the court staff why so few are interested.
“If you’re pro-choice, do you really want anybody to know about this,” he said, motioning to the filthy medical equipment set up in the courtroom.
It’s a good point. As saturation coverage of the Sandy Hook elementary school coverage has caused Americans to reconsider the limits of the Second Amendment, saturation coverage of Kermit Gosnell’s clinic would likely cause the same reconsideration of abortion rights.
The details are that horrifying.

And it looks like the situation, while gruesome as ever, might not be as uncommon as we previously thought.

I can’t help but wonder, these back alley clinics like Gosnell’s and Planned Parenthood of Delaware might not exist if we just legalized and regulated abortion.
Oh wait. Never mind.

I’m totally going to be quoting you elsewhere, James.

James,
Though it may not work for abortion, we could probably use that logic with recreational drug use or even homosexual marriage and it would likely work! Okay, maybe not.

Margaret Sanger and Gosnell, two of a kind.

Any of you guys read the grand jury report. It’s horrifying.

Shouldn’t the issue be that babies are being killed and not how dirty and how late-term the abortions are? Pro-lifers are playing the pro-abortion argument and not even realizing it. Tell me why Gosnell is worse than a clinic who hands out morning-after pills and babies are killed “cleanly”. I
