Your Silence Speaks Loudly

If a deranged gunman killed hundreds of children, when would we stop hearing about it?

I would hazard a guess and say, "Only after every firearm in the US was confiscated"... and probably for a good few years after that as well.

Now tell me - how much coverage you have seen in national media about the Kermit Gosnell trial?

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say "virtually none", because to the progressive media, an abortionist killing hundreds of children is... wait, what's that phrase again?  Oh, yes.

"An inconvenient truth".

Abortion Doctor Accused Of 'Snipping' The Necks Of Hundreds Of Live Babies

Gruesome allegations are emerging in Philadelphia abortion doctor Kermit Gosnell's murder trial.

Gosnell, 72, is accused of using unfathomable abortion procedures on inner-city patients who were well into their third trimester at an unsanitary, bloody, and utterly gruesome clinic called the Women's Medical Society.

While he's only charged with killing seven live babies, prosecutors believe Gosnell killed hundreds of infants and destroyed related records, according to a grand jury report.

From the criminal grand jury report:

This case is about a doctor who killed babies and endangered women. What we mean is that he regularly and illegally delivered live, viable, babies in the third trimester of pregnancy – and then murdered these newborns by severing their spinal cords with scissors...

Let us say right up front that we realize this case will be used by those on both sides of the abortion debate. We ourselves cover a spectrum of personal beliefs about the morality of abortion. For us as a criminal grand jury, however, the case is not about that controversy; it is about disregard of the law and disdain for the lives and health of mothers and infants. We find common ground in exposing what happened here, and in recommending measures to prevent anything like this from ever happening again.

...

Gosnell had a simple solution for the unwanted babies he delivered: he killed them. He didn’t call it that. He called it “ensuring fetal demise.” The way he ensured fetal demise was by sticking scissors into the back of the baby’s neck and cutting the spinal cord. He called that “snipping.”

Over the years, there were hundreds of “snippings.” Sometimes, if Gosnell was unavailable, the “snipping” was done by one of his fake doctors, or even by one of the administrative staff...

Most of these acts cannot be prosecuted, because Gosnell destroyed the files.

Understand: even if you are pro-abortion, that is not what we are talking about here.  These were children who were born alive.  They were living human beings.  Defenseless, living human beings who were then killed.

We have a term for that.  It's called "murder".

The national media can't report that, though.  If they did, then people might start associating "abortion" with "murder".

And we can't have that, can we?
