I disagree. No matter how hard the devil will try to turn this inside out, as he can always be expected to do, there can be no excuse for retreating. Gosnell was not targeted by Christians or any other stripe of pro-life activists, after all. His downfall came as a result of unpaid taxes. In the investigation, the revenuers found abortion conditions so overwhelmingly horrible that even they felt compelled to force an investigation.
I misspoke earlier; Gosnell was targeted for investigation not for tax evasion, but by the drug authorities, for overprescribing Oxycontin and other infractions.
