Dr. Kermit Gosnell
Heard of him recently? If not, call your Newspaper's editor and ask why the hell not.
Over at The Gormogons, The Czar of Muscovy has been covering it with this two-fer. Some interesting implications.
First -
The Importance of the Gosnell Horror Story:
By now, you already know way too much about the Kermit Gosnell horror story�and you heard about it from conservative blogs, Twitter, and Facebook. You certainly have seen or heard little coverage from the MSM.
Let us be certain�they are intentionally blacking out the story, using a variety of deceptive explanations, non-answers, and look-over-there runaway schemes.
And why shouldn�t the major media outlets black out the story? The Kermit Gosnell trial is utterly devastating to abortion supporters on the Left. In a world where we have been assured abortions are safe, legal, and rare, we learned that Gosnell was not only a cold-blooded monster (who still complains he does not understand all the charges against him), but that this might be par for the course. Good rumor has it that another abortion clinic a short distance away from Gosnell�s might harbor additional horrors.
The Left has no defense for this without opening a barn door of exceptions. He was just a one-off lunatic who chose to disobey the law? Well, so was Adam Lanza. It�s okay, ethically, to kill humans we don�t want? Thanks for legalizing capital punishment. Abortion is a Constitutional right and this ugliness is sometimes the cost we must bear? The Czar is on his way to conceal a dozen firearms on his personage.
No matter how the Left attempts to explain away Gosnell, the more they expose themselves as hypocrites. And they know it.
It is by no coincidence or obsession that the Czar mentions firearms in the same thought as abortion; as our own Ghettoputer sagely posited years ago, the Left can make no argument for abortion that does not undermine gun control arguments at the same time. But there is more: just as the Left is being forced to watched the horrors they allowed with abortion, they are being forced to admit that gun control does not work at the same time.
This is truly a dark age for the enlightened liberal religion: both abortion and gun control have been two of their biggest fetishes, and they are losing both. Their third hysteria�government control�is on very wobbly knees as well, given how much Americans are hearing and reacting to spending, debts, deficits, and control. And you only need to kick out one leg of a stool to make the whole thing collapse.
Why is the Czar not encouraged? Why a lack of optimism? After all, the big three pillars of modern progressive liberalism are cracked, crumbling, or tumbling.
Because the Czar knows that the Left will shortly realize they are cornered. And this won�t be pretty.

Tipping Points: Why Gosnell Matters:
Once again, liberals in the media emphasize that they are absolutely lost as to what goes on in the conservative news media whereas conservatives are acutely aware of just about everything going on in theirs.
And:
The Kermit Gosnell story is probably a game-changer whose effects�seemingly small in terms of news coverage�will have long-range implications for the Left.
The Great and Powerful Czar then goes on to list some of the implications:
As the President of NARAL indicates��This is exactly what happens when you place undue restrictions and you try to shame women to keep them from exercising their constitutional right to safe and legal abortions.��liberals still believe that Roe v. Wade never happened and that every criminal act that comes out of abortion is the result of forcing women to hide their decisions. What a load of crap: folks, this is abortion under Roe v. Wade. It was never going to get better: you have been lied to since the early 1970s.
And:
The Left continue to assume that anything whatsoever that embarrasses them or exposes their activities must be conservatives� fault. The non-news Salon.com management declared Bush worse than Gosnell because...well, George W. Bush. And that conservative news is responsible for the Gosnell cover up. When all you have is a hammer, you see every problem as a nail.
More at the site -- an excellent examination of the liberals rallying in support of this horrible excuse for a human being.
The
Business Insider has a good report.
There is more on the trial coverage at
Gateway Pundit -- the video is heartbreaking. Breitbart also has
this story of a second abortion clinic:
Media Ignore: Second Abortion Clinic Horror Story Surfaces
As the media enters day 257,685 openly pushing for gun control, the almost total national-media blackout on the murder trial of Dr. Gosnell, an abortion doctor accused of murdering seven babies, marches on.
Wednesday, in the state of Delaware, a very similar story surfaced in local media, naturally:A series of emergency calls made from the Planned Parenthood of Delaware this year are raising concerns about what's happening behind the closed doors. �
Jayne Mitchell-Werbrich, former employee said, "It was just unsafe. I couldn't tell you how ridiculously unsafe it was."
Werbrich alleges conditions inside the facility were unsanitary.
"He didn't wear gloves," said Werbrich. �
The former nurses claim that a rush to get patients in and out left operating tables soiled and unclean.
Werbrich said "It's not washed down, it's not even cleaned off. It has bloody drainage on it."
"They could be at risk of getting hepatitis, even AIDS," added Vasikonis.
According to this report, since January 4, "five patients allegedly have been rushed from the facility to the emergency room[.]"
More proof the media is not about ratings, profits, truth, or even sensationalism -- it is all about pushing and protecting the left-wing Narrative.
If Dr. Gosnell gets the death penalty, he should be executed by a pair of scissors -- snipped...
