Kermit Gosnell, Abortion Doctor, On Trial Over Newborn Baby Murders In Pennsylvania

PHILADELPHIA — Three women were chosen as jurors on Monday for the trial of a Philadelphia abortion provider charged with killing a patient and seven babies allegedly born alive.

Dr. Kermit Gosnell, 72, is charged with third-degree murder in a woman's 2009 death during a botched abortion. He also faces the death penalty if convicted of first-degree murder in the newborns' deaths.

Jury selection is expected to take a week, given the sensitivity of the abortion issue and the death penalty.​

CNN and MSNBC won't cover this trial like they do just about any act of gun violence.


WTF!!!!

Don't they care about dead kids?????

[mudwhistle]

Let us know how this turns out.

So, newborns don't get the same consideration as toddlers I suppose.

Figures.


How old do they have to be in order to get you folks to give a shit? 1 hour? 1 Day?


BTW, I noticed over 1300 hits on the thread about the 4 year old shooting his mother. Now that's much more of a tragedy than a Dr who murders babies, right?

"CNN and MSNBC won't cover this trial like they do just about any act of gun violence."

Nor ABC, NBC and CBS, from what I hear?? (Which is where most Americans who like to listen to about 4 minutes of news, go and then put their heads in the sand and if they vote, it is for the person who will give them the most handouts. Ya know.....like that guy in the WH that gave $150,000 to charities last year....

The lack of coverage would be due to no one actually thinking abortion is murder.

Once the baby leaves the birth canal alive it's considered murder by just about everyone.

These babies weren't aborted - they were delivered alive, and then killed. He committed murder.

If that's true, he should be sent to prison.

But that also completely separates this the abortion debate. It's just another murder case. Ho hum.

His crimes have nothing to do with abortion, yet this has been made into an abortion debate. He didn't perform abortions, therefore this case has nothing to do with abortions. The conservatives want to make it into an abortion debate, though...

Why Is the Media Apologizing About Kermit Gosnell Coverage? - The Daily Beast

Why Is the Media Apologizing About Kermit Gosnell Coverage?
by Josh Dzieza Apr 12, 2013 8:50 PM EDT
Coverage, or lack thereof, of the Philadelphia abortion doctor’s trial has some critics up in arms. What is the controversy all about? An explainer.

In Philadelphia, Dr. Kermit Gosnell stands accused of gruesome crimes. When police raided his abortion clinic in 2010, they said they found the remains of late-term fetuses he’d allegedly delivered before cutting their spinal cords with scissors. Prosecutors called his abortion clinic a “baby charnel house,” and the 2011 grand-jury report is a deeply disturbing account of alleged murder and abuse. His trial started on March 18, but the story recently exploded onto the national stage, thanks in part to a growing chorus of media self-criticism. Here’s The Daily Beast’s guide to the story and the media controversy.

Just how bad was Gosnell’s clinic?

When the FBI raided Gosnell’s clinic in 2010, it was looking for evidence that he was selling prescription drugs, but agents said they found an scene of appalling medical neglect. From the grand-jury report:

“There was blood on the floor. A stench of urine filled the air. A flea-infested cat was wandering through the facility, and there were cat feces on the stairs. Semiconscious women scheduled for abortions were moaning in the waiting room or the recovery room, where they sat on dirty recliners covered with blood-stained blankets.”

Agents said there were aborted fetuses everywhere—in the refrigerator, in cat-food containers, in orange juice cartons—and a jar full of severed feet.

What went on there?

Gosnell is accused of providing late-term abortions by inducing labor and then severing the fetus’ spinal cord with scissors. In some cases, the jury report says, the babies were “viable”—that is, they were breathing and moving. The report describes one such case.

His 17-year-old mother was almost 30 weeks pregnant—seven and a half months—when labor was induced. An employee estimated his birth weight as approaching 6 pounds. He was breathing and moving when Dr. Gosnell severed his spine and put the body in a plastic shoebox for disposal. The doctor joked that this baby was so big he could “walk me to the bus stop.”

In Pennsylvania, abortions are illegal after 24 weeks unless they’re deemed necessary to save the life of the mother. Most doctors don’t perform them after 20 weeks. According to a former employee, Gosnell’s clinic had such a bad reputation by 2009 that it began to cater to women who couldn’t get abortions anywhere else because their pregnancies were too far advanced. Many patients came from out of state, and they were overwhelmingly poor women of color. A former employee testified that white patients were taken to the only clean office and treated by Gosnell himself, while black women were drugged by untrained staff in the lobby. He only took cash, and he charged more for bigger babies and additional anesthetic, according to the report.

...

If I'm reading this correctly, he wasn't 'an abortion provider,' just someone who performed the very late term abortions that the left has been clamoring for? So, where are those saying that argument needs to be re-thought?

 

[Noomi]

^he didn't perform abortions. Abortion is when the fetus is killed in the womb and then delivered. He delivered live babies whom he then murdered. This is about murder, not abortion.

Define it as you will, he killed them after; the pro-abortion argument is to kill them before the first breath. In either case, there is killing of life.

Yes, he did kill them. If he had terminated those pregnancies and delivered a dead fetus, we might not being having this conversation. It's the fact that he refused to terminate a pregnancy, and instead made these women give birth, and then killed a live baby, after pumping the women full of drugs which nearly killed them.

Makes him a bad doctor, or a murderer.

Has nothing to do with the abortion debate.

I don't think you are reading it correctly, because I can't find any apologies from the media, like your title says.

What I did find was this:

The Gosnell story wasn’t blacked out. Here’s an NPR story from a year ago, a Slate story, one from Time, CNN, the Associated Press, and The Daily Beast.

Another classic Annie FAIL.

False.

By this attempt at logic, any murder is the equivalent of abortion, since there is "killing of life".
