Kermit Gosnell Ought to End America
LifeNews - Judie Brown - 4/24/13
There have been literally
millions of words spoken and written about the 72-year-old abortionist who is
now standing trial because of the aborted-but-born-alive babies he butchered.
Pro-life blogger Jill Stanek
published a special edition of her “Sunday Funnies” featuring Gosnell as the
butt of the funnies.
President Barack Obama has
not made a public comment on the abortionist’s grisly crimes. Recently, the
reason given was because Gosnell’s case represents an “ongoing trial.” But we
have to wonder if the president’s silence throughout is, instead, because the
details of the case do not really bother him at all.
When Obama was in the
Illinois Senate, a bill was introduced three times to attempt to protect babies
who survived “induced labor abortions.”
According to Human Events,
“On all three bills, Obama voted ‘present,’ effectively the same as a ‘no.’
Defining ‘a pre-viable fetus’ that survived an abortion as a ‘person’ or
‘child,’ he argued, ‘would essentially bar abortions, because the Equal
Protection Clause does not allow somebody to kill a child, and if this is a
child, then this would be an anti-abortion statute.’”
In addition, there is the
American Life League tweet that points out that the only difference between the
practices of late-term abortionists George Tiller and Kermit Gosnell is “about
four inches.”
Clearly the topic has
invoked a great deal of outrage and commentary; yet there is one aspect of this
most recent graphic example of the culture of death that we must confront—the
public’s total apathy.
Society is impassive to the
rights of babies not yet born; the culture is dismissive of what the act of
abortion is actually doing to a person every time it is committed. The death
and destruction in its wake do not move us to act.
We hear about a man who
stored the tiny feet of his victims in glass jars, but we cannot relate. We are
not driven to act to protect the innocent or to oppose abortion.
Life does not go on and has
not for more than 50 million human beings in America
Gosnell’s story is a horror;
he is in many ways the poster boy for murder and mayhem in our nation.
He has terrorized and killed
babies, maimed women, and only God knows what else with impunity since 1972.
But then he got sloppy and
murdered one too many babies born alive after abortion.
To my mind no end is in
sight for such stories—not until my fellow Americans come to realize that human
beings exist from the point of their creation and that their lives are not
debatable, they are not fungible, nor are they disposable.
Abortion has dulled our
appreciation for the human being.
Abortion has facilitated our
denial that selfless love is more important than self gratification.
The result is apathy, and
that is what the Gosnell trial is about—apathy that dismisses humanity for the
sake of convenience.
