Mass Murder In Philadelphia. Mainstream Media Ignores It
Pennsylvania State Agencies Ignored It Too, For Years
By 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?
The media seems to be following lead of Pennsylvania authorities who have been ignoring Gosnell’s deadly enterprise for years. According to Milken’s summary of the Grand Jury report (I didn’t want to take the time to read all 281 pages to get this news to you) :
– The Pennsylvania Department of Health knew of clinic violations dating back decades, but did nothing.
– The Pennsylvania Department of State was “repeatedly confronted with evidence about Gosnell” — including the clinic’s unclean, unsterile conditions, unlicensed workers, unsupervised sedation, underage abortion patients and over-prescribing of pain pills with high resale value on the street — “and repeatedly chose to do nothing.”
– Philadelphia Department of Public Health officials who regularly visited Gosnell’s human waste-clogged offices did nothing.
– Nearby hospital officials who treated some of the pregnant mothers who suffered grave complications from Gosnell’s butchery did nothing.
– An unnamed evaluator with the National Abortion Federation, the leading association of abortion providers that is supposed to uphold strict health and legal standards, determined that Gosnell’s chamber of horrors was “the worst abortion clinic she had ever inspected” — but did nothing.
Maybe no one is paying attention because the victims are poor, black and except for the mothers who died at the hands of Gosnell, did not have birth certificates yet.
