Chilling history of #Gosnell and babies struggling to survive

Chilling history of #Gosnell and babies struggling to survive

On this day when we are focused on Boston, also remember Philadelphia

Chilling history from James Taranto, Back-Alley Abortion Never Ended:

Back-alley abortion was indisputably a problem before Roe. Deep in the 281-page report that accompanied the 2011 indictments of Gosnell and his staff, the Philadelphia grand jury recounted an example from the city’s history.

It was called the Mother’s Day Massacre … Nine of the 15 women suffered serious complications. One needed a hysterectomy.

The following year, the Supreme Court decided Roe v. Wade. It would be 37 more years before the Philadelphia doctor who carried out the Mother’s Day Massacre would go out of business. His name was Kermit Gosnell.

Chilling details, via Jonah Goldberg, Gosnell & The Memory Hole:

The Boston story is breaking and important news. But if you can stomach reading this all the way through, never mind past the headline, I think you’ll agree the Gosnell story deserves to come back to fore when this chapter in the Boston saga concludes. I won’t excerpt it because it’s too rough for some people.

I will excerpt it, Gosnell Worker: Baby Surviving Abortion Struggled in Toilet Trying to Live

Cross sometimes worked from 8:00 am until 3:00 the next morning helping with procedures. She routinely saw babies born alive, moving, breathing, and moaning.

Once in Gosnell’s absence, Cross saw a large baby delivered into the toilet. She saw his little arms and legs moving in a swimming motion as he struggled to get out of the toilet bowl. Cross held her hands 12-16 inches apart to demonstrate to the jury how big the baby was. Adrienne Moton, who was the first worker to testify for the prosecution, snipped the baby’s neck in front of the mother while she sat bleeding into the toilet. Moton then took the body away and put it into a container.

In 2009, Cross testified that another co-worker, Linda Williams, called Cross over to see a baby that had just been born. Cross saw the baby’s chest heaving up and down in steady breathing motions. Linda reached down and lifted the baby’s hand up, but the newborn pulled it away on its own strength. Cross said she saw the baby breathing for about 20 minutes before Williams murdered the child by severing its spinal cord with scissors. Cross demonstrated again with her hands that the baby was about a foot long.

Heartbreaking. Am I right to understand that none of the accomplices to these atrocities notified authorities in the 37 years he was in business? Nobody had a conscience?

Hideous. Unspeakable.

I was talking to my mom the other day and we got to talking about this murderer and his accomplices. This has made me anti-abortion. I used to be men on the whole thing, thinking it is a bunch of cells. But that is not what is going on. This pissed me off to no end when my mother yelled at me that it’s THEIR body and as a “man,” I have no say on what goes on in a women’s body. Plus most of these kids would live “horrible lives” and other BS. She was in a huff when I said that she supports murder then.

That is what SCIENCE is telling us.

    We will never be able to prevent all acts of involuntary exploitation, including premeditated murder (e.g. elective abortion). This does not suggest we should ever normalize or tolerate it. We should always make an effort to realize positive progress. This does suggest we should only normalize those behaviors with redeeming value to society and humanity, tolerate other behaviors when they are not an infringement of individual dignity, and reject all other behaviors when they are conclusively dysfunctional, unfit, or corrupt.

    The people who are pro-abortion (i.e. premeditated murder) have made the wrong choice. They support a criminal action against the individual, society, and humanity.

    Liberty is only suitable for individuals capable of self-moderating behavior. We should not be forced to suffer the progressive corruption and dysfunction that is sponsored by their liberal behavior. Decent men and women will have to override the democratic consensus if our rights and obligations cannot be peacefully reconciled. This is where the rule of law is supposed to protect our interests, but instead it has been ignored for political expediency.

    “I used to be men on the whole thing, thinking it is a bunch of cells.”

    This is what the media and pro-abortion warriors want you to think. Every time someone makes the connection between a living baby with hands, fingers, a beating heart beat, brain activity, they realize that abortion is murder.

    This is also why PP and other abortion activists have fought tooth and nail to block pre-abortion ultrasounds.

    This is why they feign shock when pictures of dismembered aborted babies are shown. They don’t want it getting out that abortion kills babies.

      I once got into a heated conversation with someone who had participated in a sidewalk demonstration holding up big signs with dead babies on them. They had placed a warning sign up the road so that you could alter your route (I did, I had my young son in the car). I didn’t think that it was the way to change hearts and minds, but I think I’ve changed my mind. I don’t know of any other way to get the point across. I did a little research and found that some of the photos used on signs are babies that were put back together (Baby Malachi); I suppose now they can add “Baby A”–the baby in the shoebox, the baby that could have walked Gosnell to the bus. It’s hard. DH doesn’t want to think about it or see it. Most people don’t.

God rest their souls! Imagine the left’s reaction if this were
dogs or any animal rather than human babies treated this way!!!

It is truly horrifying to think that so many people either witnessed, or actively participated in, the murders of these innocent babies for so many years.

How a mother could watch her newborn baby struggling for life in a dirty toilet, and then sit passively by while a “health care worker” stabs a pair of scissors into the baby’s neck . . . . Words fail me.

    We should probably thank Gosnell for waking us from our comfortable slumber and alerting us to what often takes place “out-of-sight and out-of-mind.” While women have been saved from the consequences of “back alley abortions”, they (and the fathers) have also grown complacent to the responsibility which should follow from their voluntary behavior. That is the only way we can control the progress of corruption and normalization of dysfunctional or unfit behaviors. There must be high risk and opportunity cost when committing crimes against the individual, society, and humanity. A human life evolves from conception to grave, and should not be artificially terminated without cause or due process.

Guess “Big Sis” was correct in a way, we have “domestic terrorists”, but she damn sure didn’t think about it/them, being from the medical profession(?).

The cost of freeing women and men of accepting responsibility for their voluntary actions was a normalization of dysfunctional or unfit behavior.

The cost of enabling women to escape the consequences of “back alley abortions” was lowered risk and opportunity cost which promoted further dysfunctional or unfit behavior.

The cost of normalizing elective abortions was a general devaluation of human life.

It is dissociation of risk which causes corruption. It is dreams of material, physical, and ego instant (or immediate) gratification which motivates its progress.

Please keep posting about this story. With everything going on in Boston, the media will “forget” about it. I can’t say much else, with each day and new testimony, I’m am saddened and sickened by the horror.

That monster of a “doctor” deserves to rot in the lowest level of hell, and it would still be too good for him. He is a disgusting POS, and all the media who have turned a blind, indifferent eye to the holocaust of abortion can rot along with him.

This is the definition of reproductive justice. The question from the media is the morality of the act but if the act will make them look bad.

Always remember that the only difference between this doctor and the man we are forced to call our president is their occupations.

It is due to the political efforts of men like Soetoro that enable men like Gosnell to systematically murder millions upon millions of children in this country.

The only thing that separates Gosnell from Planned Parenthood is that Gosnell was too cheap to hire a good janitor.

Evil walks the land today. May God almighty have mercy upon us for what our countrymen have done.

Wounded premature babies struggling blindly for life in a filthy bloody toilet before being murdered by a butcher pretending to be a doctor while the babies’ mothers watch.

I keep trying to figure out where this sort of hideousness belongs on the scale of historical evils. Does this belong in the same category as Auschwitz, or does this belong in some unique category of soul-shattering hatefulness that makes Auschwitz look tame?

    Hitler killed something like 20 million people.

    The U.S. is coming up fast on the 60 million dead since Roe mark.

    You tell me which is worse.

This story gets worse and worse. This barrel has no bottom.

Even the Green River Killer couldn’t look at his victims when he killed them. Gosnell is possessed.
