Sanction of Baby Murders

The Wake-up Herald

And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfill the lusts thereof. Romans 13:11-14

Gosnell Trial Coverage is Not Exception, But the Rule

By Star Parker, Op-Ed Contributor

April 19, 2013 | 6:46 pm The Christian Post

Kirsten Powers may have performed a national service - by virtue of her now famous USA Today column - of getting the news of the trial of abortion doctor Kermit Gosnell on the national radar screen.

This, of course, is the horror story of a cesspool in Philadelphia posturing as an abortion clinic, operating without inspection for 17 years. Gosnell, the doctor who ran the place, is formally charged of murder of one woman and seven infants.

However, the grand jury report and testimony of family and staff at the trial indicate that if there were records in this dump, where life and death were meted out daily, Gosnell would be indicted for hundreds of murders of live children.

Most likely, and sadly, this horror story will have its fifteen minutes of fame and the nation will move on. The national press got dragged unwillingly to report it, finally, because of Ms. Powers' courageous column. But there is no way to keep them on a story they don't want to cover.

Maybe we can keep this story alive by keeping in mind a few things.

What was happening in Gosnell's Women's Medical Society clinic was not some bizarre exception to the rule.

You can ask Day Gardner, director of the Black Pro-life Union. Her life is dedicated to covering these realities. In her words, "This is not an exception. These realities are happening every day all over our country."

Despite the sense that no one was paying attention to the Gosnell story before Kirsten Powers wrote about it, know that Dr. Gardner, Dr. Alveda King, and other pro-life activists were demonstrating outside Gosnell's clinic as early as February 2011.

They held a press conference about the trial on April 4, a week before Powers' column appeared. Alveda King wrote in her blog the day before, "…Rev. Clenard Childress and Dr. Day Gardner…are in Philadelphia reporting on the Kermit Gosnell trial that the mainstream media is virtually ignoring. "

Just this week, The Washington Times has reported that Gosnell-like conditions have existed at a Planned Parenthood abortion clinic in Vice President Biden's own backyard in Delaware.

The Times reports "Abortions have been suspended at a Delaware Planned Parenthood, after several 911 calls made from within the clinic prompted a new investigation by Health and Human Services."

Two nurses quit to protect their licenses, one saying "I couldn't tell you how ridiculously unsafe it was."

According to the story, "Since Jan. 4, five patients have been rushed to the emergency room."

Last year pro-life activists worked assiduously to get press attention on the story of the death of 24-year-old Tonya Reaves, who died after a botched abortion procedure at a Chicago Planned Parenthood clinic.

These realities persist for two reasons.

One, we still as a nation are willing to tolerate the reality of abortion. We still allow ourselves to believe that Dr. Gosnell should be convicted of murder because he botched an abortion, the live child was born, and he still destroyed it. But that somehow it would have been okay if that same child died while still in the womb.

 

And two, the squalid conditions allowing this butchery to take place all over the nation persist for the same reason that the Gosnell trial almost went uncovered. The press does not want to report about the gruesome truths of abortion.

We can, at minimum, do something as a nation today. We can stop allowing our tax dollars to fund the nation's largest abortion provider, Planned Parenthood.

According to Congresswoman Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), who has submitted a bill to stop funding Planned Parenthood, "Every 94 seconds Planned Parenthood performs an abortion and in that amount of time they take in over $1600 in federal taxpayer money."

Editor’s comment: Not only are we as a nation, but pastors and Christians, with a few exceptions, are willing to tolerate the reality of government sanctioned murder of babies via abortion. We still allow ourselves to believe that Dr. Gosnell should be convicted of murder because he botched an abortion, the live child was born, and he still destroyed it. But that somehow it would have been okay if that same child died while still in the womb.

And two, the squalid conditions allowing this butchery to take place all over the nation persist for the same reason that the Gosnell trial almost went uncovered. Not only does the press not want to report about the gruesome truths of abortion; neither do pastors, with a few exceptions, want to disturb their congregation with the gruesome truths of government sanctioned murder of 4000+ babies via abortion every day.

Has the pastor of the church where you attend told the congregation about the Gosnell mass murder of babies? How often have you heard the pastor where you attend church make any reference to the 4000+ babies murdered by government sanctioned abortion every day in America?; 60 million+ babies murdered by abortion since January 22, 1973? ~Robert McCurry

Wake-up, Pastors! Wake-up, Christians!
