I usually do not post that sort of a headline…. But this time; it is warranted.
This vomit inducing story comes via my friend Ed Morrissey over at HotAir.com.
The Story via CBS in Philly:
A West Philadelphia abortion doctor, his wife and eight other suspects are now under arrest following a grand jury investigation.
Dr. Kermit Gosnell, 69, faces eight counts of murder in the deaths of a woman following a botched abortion at his office, along with the deaths of seven other babies who, prosecutors allege, were born alive following illegal late-term abortions and then were killed by severing their spinal cords with a pair of scissors. …
Gosnell is facing Murder in the 3rd Degree for the death of 41-year-old Karnamaya Mongar. Mrs. Mongar died on November 20, 2009 when she was overdosed with anesthetics prescribed by Gosnell. He is also facing seven Murder charges for the deaths of infants who were killed after being born viable and alive during the 6th, 7th and 8th month of pregnancy. Gosnell is also facing numerous other charges.
Gosnell is suspected of killing hundreds of living babies over the course of his 30 year practice. However, he is not charged because the records do not exist.

One woman, for example, 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.
On another occasion, Gosnell simply sent a patient home, after keeping her mother waiting for hours, without telling either of them that she still had fetal parts inside her. Gosnell insisted she was fine, even after signs of serious infection set in over the next several days. By the time her mother got her to the emergency room, she was unconscious and near death.
A nineteen-year-old girl was held for several hours after Gosnell punctured her uterus. As a result of the delay, she fell into shock from blood loss, and had to undergo a hysterectomy.
One patient went into convulsions during an abortion, fell off the procedure table, and hit her head on the floor. Gosnell wouldn’t call an ambulance, and wouldn’t let the woman’s companion leave the building so that he could call an ambulance.

We discovered that Pennsylvania’s Department of Health has deliberately chosen not to enforce laws that should afford patients at abortion clinics the same safeguards and assurances of quality health care as patients of other medical service providers. Even nail salons in Pennsylvania are monitored more closely for client safety.
The State Legislature has charged the Department of Health (DOH) with responsibility for writing and enforcing regulations to protect health and safety in abortion clinics as well as in hospitals and other health care facilities. Yet a significant difference exists between how DOH monitors abortion clinics and how it monitors facilities where other medical procedures are performed.
Indeed, the department has shown an utter disregard both for the safety of women who seek treatment at abortion clinics and for the health of fetuses after they have become viable. State health officials have also shown a disregard for the laws the department is supposed to enforce. Most appalling of all, the Department of Health’s neglect of abortion patients’ safety and of Pennsylvania laws is clearly not inadvertent: It is by design.
State health officials knew that Gosnell and his clinic were offering unacceptable medical care to women and girls, yet DOH failed to take any action to stop the atrocities documented by this Grand Jury. These officials were far more protective of themselves when they testified before the Grand Jury. Even DOH lawyers, including the chief counsel, brought private attorneys with them – presumably at government expense.
This is not your average black man — he is a monster. This black piece of human waste should be strung from the highest tree in the land. No trials, No court, No defense attorneys — None of that crap! Just fucking shoot his ass! This man is a damn murderer of babies. Sorry folks, I am all for a woman’s right to her bodies and all that. But this crap here goes well beyond that! This man is a damn murderer and should be just lined up against a damned wall and SHOT!
Ed Morrissey is just too damned nice to say it. But I will, the reason why this damned monster got away with this; is because HE WAS BLACK! PLAIN AND DAMNED SIMPLE. HE GOT AWAY WITH THIS BECAUSE HE WAS A BLACK MAN!
A Commenter over at HotAir.com sums it up:
I am neither a particularly religious man nor much of a praying man (which I’m working on … have patience with us old agnostics) … but after reading this, I got right down on my knees and prayed for forgiveness for our whole stupid species.
We all need it. All of us. That we let this go on is … unspeakable. An abomination, in the ancient and biblical sense of the word.
If there is a God up there, He is not impressed.
I hope he’s a whole lot more merciful than we are.
This is the worst thing I’ve ever read.
The history books may well look at us in much the same way we look at late-1930?s Germany.
As I said elsewhere, this period in history – our enshrining abortion as not only legal but a protected Constitutional right – will be viewed as having a place along side slavery, communism, fascism, and totalitarianism.
Even the arguments for abortion are the same: read the discussions of the left on this topic – then compare to 1840s debates over abolition or 1930s debates in Germany over the coming “final solution.” The arguments are, almost word for word, identical. The denial of humanity; the preservation of property rights over human rights; the elevation of evil to the sanctified and the debasement of the sacred until it is viewed as meaningless.
This is evil. And to whoever said there are no shade of evil, you could not be more wrong. There are countless degrees of evil, and this … this may mark the greatest height to which evil can aspire.
God forgive us.

Professor, I happen to know that there IS a God up there; his name is Jesus Christ and I can assure you. He is PISSED! The real cute part is; this guy will be justified by some idiot on the left. Which is why I no longer vote for them. This man ought to get first degree murder for EVERY SINGLE LIFE that they can prove that he snuffed out. However, if I know this liberal society like I know. This black bastard will get little or nothing for his crimes.
There are mean people, there are a-holes, and there’s evil people…..and this man is evil people. 😡

What does it matter that he is black? Why are you obsessed with his skin color? You even tagged it in the “blacks” category’? Why?
Actually, I read your blog everyday. I have a question about how you’re categorizing posts and what your perspective is on current events. That’s why I come here to read your posts.
I’m not trolling. I have a question, that’s it. I didn’t call you names. Why are you so angry at me?
Not angry at all.
You can contact me via the contact form and I’ll answer your questions. I just assumed you were trolling. I get many of those; mostly libs.
OK. I sent you an email with my question.
What exactly is trolling? Posting snarky comments? Being mean?
Mostly posting comments to garner a reaction out of me.
Who are you? and where did you hear of my blog at?
and, yes, I answered your question.
I’ve actually been reading your blog since the 08 election. Overall, I think you might be a little more to the right than me, but I like your blog because I think it’s good and challenging to read things that I don’t always agree with.
I see. 🙂 Wow. Now I have stage fright. 😯
Ha!
Don’t have stage fright! When push comes to shove we’re all on the same team, even if we don’t agree all the time.
Keep up the good work.
Gorko
thanks… 🙂
