I had never heard of something so depraved, so utterly bizarre as the Gosnell case.

He was ultimately convicted of killing three babies and unintentionally killing an immigrant seeking an abortion. But the grand jury estimated that he had murdered hundreds of other newborns. A state lawmaker told us that her cousin had also perished at the hands of Gosnell. We will probably never know the full extent of the horrors.

If you view the documentary “3801 Lancaster,” (www.3801lancaster.com), you see and hear women who appear as if the life was sucked out of them at Gosnell’s business practice on Lancaster Ave.

And the thing is, there are so many more whose voices we have never heard. Because Gosnell was in the abortion industry at its very beginning, before there was even a Roe versus Wade. I have seen estimates that he performed more than 40,000 abortions during his career. Each of those abortions represents a child who was an unrepeatable individual of infinite value.

The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania responded to the horror of the Gosnell case with tough new regulations requiring the regular inspection of abortion facilities and demanding that they abide by the standards of outpatient surgery centers. Advocates of abortion fought this law, Act 122, vigorously, arguing that the standards were too difficult to meet.

What medical practice…or what business, for that matter…prides itself on less-than-high standards? Such arguments are insulting and degrading.

The grand jury report stated that the National Abortion Federation knew about unsafe conditions at the Gosnell facility, but did not report him to the authorities. We have also been told of abortionists who referred clients to Gosnell because of his reputation for performing late-term abortions.
