Every so often in such a serious matter as the Kermit Gosnell murder trial, a little levity take places.
As local Philadelphia-based reporter J.D. Mullane reports today, Gosnell demanded that uniformed officers address him as “Doctor.” The refused.
There’s no background on whether the exchange took place — whether it was in the courtroom, in his jail cell or during one of the times he was taken to or from the courtroom during the trial.
Either way, it’s confirmation that those responsible for Gosnell’s imprisonment pending the outcome of the trial understand that an abortion practitioner who killed babies doesn’t deserve the respected title normally afforded to an upstanding physician.
Source: Sheriff deps call #Gosnell “Kermit.” He demands: “You will address me as Dr. Gosnell.” They say “You’re just an inmate now, Kermit.”

As LifeNews has reported, Gosnell is in solitary confinement in prison awaiting the verdict in the case.
Barbara Boxer: Call me ‘senator’
Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) didn’t like a Brigadier General calling her “ma’am” at an EPW hearing yesterday.
“Do me a favor,” she said, “could say ‘senator’ instead of ‘ma’am?’ It’s just a thing, I worked so hard to get that title, so I’d appreciate it, yes, thank you.”

What, it’s just a ‘fun’ little moment in a Mengele trial...Are you not entertained?
That would be like calling a butcher a doctor....
Norm he needed a reality check.
Call me T-Bone!
He’s a low life scum but he IS a “Doctor”, not a “Mister”. Using the term “Mister” is taunting the scum in the eyes of the Court and the Jury.

Kermit should be happy they’re not calling him Froggy, of course that would be an insult to frogs.
“I didn’t spend six years at evil medical school just to be called Mister, thank you very much!”
I was being sarcastic.
I expect that, oddly, this has stung him worse than the public knowing what he has done.
A DOCTOR takes a oath Of which this a part:
“I will neither give a deadly drug to anybody if asked for it, nor will I make a suggestion to this effect. Similarly I will not give to a woman an abortive remedy. In purity and holiness I will guard my life and my art.”
This piece of trash ceased to be a Doctor the moment he violated the Hippocratic Oath and started taking lives. There is only one acceptable title for him now and I use it gladly, he is HELL SPAWN!
There are two kinds of doctor; those who heal, or at least do no harm and those who kill. Gosnell is a Dr. Mengele. I think it’s up the speaker whether to bestow any honorific. This man deserves only contempt. I’d call him Prisoner number 36299.
Call him Dr. Pepper.
Jill Biden demands to be called “Doctor” and she just has a Doctorate degree in Education.
So was I :)
Been a rough couple days on FR...I han my head in shame ;)
They’ll be calling him Dr. Ben Dover in the showers.
