Has anyone heard of Dr., and I use this terms loosely, Kermit Gosnell? No? Shocking!!
Dr. Gosnell ran an abortion clinic in the inner city in Pennsylvania. Essentially, he would take poor women who were minorities and give them subpar medical treatement that usually landed them a venereal disease, a ruptured uterus, or death itself. In addition, he routinely killed viable babies at his clinic, with a grizzly trail of evidences all around the clinic. However, white women seemed to fair much better under Dr. Gosnells treatment.
The first line of defense for these poor minority women was the Pennsylvania Department of Health. The departments job was to audit hospitals and outpatient medical facilities like Gosnells, to make sure they follow the rules and provide safe care. The Department had contact with the Woman's Medical Society dating back to 1979, when it first issued approval to open an abortion clinic. It did not conduct another site review until 1989, ten years later. Numerous violations were already apparent but Gosnell got a pass because he promised to "fix" them. Site reviews were again held in 1992 and 1993 and they also noted various violations, but again failed to ensure they were corrected. After 1993, the Pennsylvania Department of Health decided for political reasons to stop inspecting abortions clinics at all.
Bizzarely, Gosnell petitioned for admission to the NAF, which was the association for abortion providers, only to be denied. He was denied due to insanitary conditions, records that were not properly kept, patients not properly monitored, and misuse of anesthesia. Although the NAF rejected Gosnell, it failed to notifiy anyone else of the conditions of the clinic in question. My guess is that Gosnell figured that the state had turned a blind eye to his clinic, so perhaps the NAF would do the same, all in the name of unlimited access to abortions.
This about sums it all up for me. "Bureaucratic inertia is not exactly news. We understand that, but we think this was something more. We think the reason no one acted is because the women in question were poor and of color, because the victims were infants without identities, and because the subject was the political football of abortion."
So why is this not front page news? Where is the NAACP? Where is Al Sharpton? Where is Jesse Jackson? Where is our fearless leader in the Oval Office? They are as siltent about this as the screams of the viable infants killed in Dr. Gosnells death clinic.

Originally posted by KazetNagorraYeah that's the problem. It was just so unsanitary.
I'm not sure what you want to discuss. Do you think you can find anyone here in favour of unsanitary conditions in health care facilities?
Geez whodey, all Gosnell had to do was clean the place up and make sure to snip those little spines at 23 weeks instead of 24 and it would all just be nice sanitary medical care.
Originally posted by SleepyguyWe have a mass murderer on display with a breakdown in government regulation over the abortion industry and racism to boot and you ask what the big deal is?

I guess it is all pretty common place these days. Never mind.
Originally posted by whodeySorry whodey, I thought you'd pick up on my sarcasm. You know my views on abortion. Of course it's a big deal.

But the abortion lovers don't want to talk about it because Gosnell has finally managed to give infanticide a bad name. They'd rather focus on the unsanitary conditions in "healthcare" facilities or take you to task for suggesting a black man could be racist. Meanwhile the holocaust continues.

Originally posted by SleepyguySorry, it's just that it seems everyone on these boards loves abortion. It's the politically correct stance, ya know.

Speaking of politically correct stances, what we need is a centralized list of people who are politically incorrect. That way if you are a "bigot" and oppose gay marriage or oppose the woman's right to choose killing their offspring etc, etc, they can put you on some sort of list that employers can check to see if they should hire you.
It's only a matter of time. It will be the new gentler, kinder, fascism.

Read the linked article and the last 2 paragraphs of the OP.
Why was there a failure to stop this monstrous murder shop? The grand jury's answer to that question is quoted in the OP. What's yours?

Perhaps the trial against Gosnell can answer these questions.
Originally posted by SleepyguyFor 30 years no less. In the article it states that the government just stopped monitoring these abortion clinics altogether in 1993, all in the name of being politically correct. Now the press is not covering this event like they should, all in the name of being politically correct.

Being politically correct kills.
Originally posted by whodeyDoes the grand jury report state that the reason was because of "political correctness"? Mainstream media reported on this story, the Wikipedia article on Gosnell states that CNN reported on the case.

I guess your emo tantrums about "political correctness" are another manifestation of the faux sense of persecution that is cultivated in the blogosphere (your only source of "news", it seems).
