There is a thread up the page that says Anderson Cooper is covering this story. You have to give him credit.

What Gosnell did was not some inevitable result of legal abortion.
Yes. it. is.

I don't think that this affected my thinking, since I don't support late-term abortions of viable infants unless the mother's life is in danger.

Interesting she thinks this way, when babies the same age as those who would be killed in a late term abortion are saved in Neo-Natal Intensive Care Units all over this country, every day. The only reason they're not saved is because their mothers have decided they do not WANT them, while other mothers and fathers are waiting in terror not knowing if their preemies will make it through the night.

The nice part about it is that the new media has forced their hand on covering it.

Who leads? Who follows?

—— This is no different than if they had covered up the crimes of Joseph Mengele. ——

They’re no different from the Nazi propagandists. But at least the Nazis had the excuse of fearing for their lives.

This is about as close to an honest liberal as you’re going to get on this story.

I have seen this story reported several times on Fox.

Shame! Silence in the presence of unmistakable horror.


I’m gonna go all “Godwin’s Law” here: This reminds me of the “Why We Fight” episode of `Band of Brothers,’ particularly the people in the nearby village who new d**ned well what was going on but turned a blind eye to the slaughter because doing otherwise had dire consequences.

In the case of pro-murder libtards, the consequence would be repudiation of their secular religion and its Holy Scarament, abortion.

Or in many cases, their careers. They could at least be deemed to have committed a "career-limiting move" by coming out as an anti-abortion "crank"/Neanderthal.

This story post desperately needs some block-quoting and other edits to show who said what. I can't wamble through the brambles and figure out who's being attributed here.

Sorry to kvetch, but it goes to intelligibility.

Right below the story in Daily Beast, I found a link labeled ....

"Six Words That Mean Something VERY Different to Porn Stars"

Gee, think this has something to do with the main story? Might could.
