Dr. Gosnell's "House of Horrors"

How to Murder the Innocent, Defenseless, and Undefended—and Make Big Bucks Doing It!

“He was supposed to puncture the lower back of the baby’s skull and insert a tube to suck out its brains before it was fully delivered. Instead, he just delivered the baby alive and then killed it, which is illegal. ...[He] killed live, viable, moving, breathing, crying babies. He killed them by cutting their spinal cords after their mothers had delivered them…” —Tom McLaughlin “The Women’s Medical Society”

If you are unaware of the trial taking place in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, of the abortion doctor (I use the term “doctor” loosely) Kermit Gosnell, I am not surprised. Our feckless, spineless, corrupt and statist-driven media have done their best to sweep it all under the rug. Hear no evil, see no evil when it comes to their sacred cows you know.
Dr. Gosnell is on trial for murdering infants. You see, instead of killing them inside their mother’s body (legal), he killed them outside of their mother’s body (illegal). The website “Pundit & Pundette” reported the testimony of an assistant who worked for Dr. Gosnell describing one of the murdered infants: “It was ‘screeching, making this noise’ that ‘sounded like a little alien,’ she said. It ‘really freaked me out,’ she said, causing her to leave the room.

‘Making this noise…like an alien?’ That’s called crying. It’s what human babies do when they’re in distress, in this case, the ultimate distress. The ‘aliens’ here are the inhuman monsters who caused that distress. So…if a baby screams during an outside-the-uterus ‘abortion,’ does it make a sound? Or, to put it another way, if an abortionist goes on trial for murdering infants, but the media refuses to cover it, is it really happening? And does America care?”

Hard for America to care when America doesn’t know—and America won’t know if the MSM has its way. This point was driven home by Fox News analyst Kirsten Powers in a recent article of hers in “USA Today” (kudos to “USA Today” for printing it).       

“Infant beheadings. Severed baby feet in jars. A child screaming after it was delivered alive during an abortion procedure. ...Let me state the obvious. This should be front page news. ...The deafening silence of too much of the media, once a force for justice in America, is a disgrace.”

A disgrace indeed, but unfortunately par for the course these days—“we the people” have come to expect such skewed myopic tunnel-vision from our media/propaganda outlets. Thomas Lifson describes their blatantly prejudiced attitude succinctly: “They are whoring out their journalistic principles and desperately suppressing information that is harmful to their ideological positions.”
The inimitable Mark Steyn opines that “The U.S. media’s unanimous agreement to see no evil is sick and totalitarian. A very small consolation is that, with news judgments like these, the wretched American press is doing a pretty good job of sawing through its own neck.”                                           
Speaking of “sick and totalitarian,” this would be an opportune time to tie together the various topics of Nazi fascism, eugenics, population control, Margaret Sanger, narcissistic amorality, “civilized” barbarism, and the like—but as I was writing this article it occurred to me that simply getting the word out about the evil that has been committed takes precedence over other concerns, so…
As we near the end of this article I might mention that the Philadelphia D.A. estimates that Dr. Gosnell made between $10,000 to $15,000 a day from his abortion mill (that does not include the money he made from the illegal sale of prescription drugs, which was considerable, but does not concern us here). And before anyone leaps to his defense as a “champion of women’s rights,” I suggest you look over the D.A.‘s report in that regard. For example:

“One woman…was left lying in place for hours after Gosnell tore her cervix and colon while trying, unsuccessfully, to extract the fetus. Relatives who came to pick her up were refused entry into the building; they had to threaten to call the police. They eventually found her inside, bleeding and incoherent, and transported her to the hospital, where doctors had to remove almost half a foot of her intestines.”

I will conclude with a sobering thought. The police originally raided Dr. Gosnell’s “House of Horrors” because he was overprescribing oxycontin—not because he was murdering infants. One wonders how many other “Dr. Gosnell’s” there are spread across the country, flying under the radar—how many other “Houses of Horror” funded by our taxpayer dollars.
