Kermit B. Gosnell, MD - the Philadelphia Abortionist<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

by Michelle Malkin –
\nLet\u2019s give the \u201cclimate of hate\u201d rhetoric a rest for a moment. It\u2019s time to talk about the climate of death, in which the abortion industry thrives unchecked. Dehumanizing rhetoric, rationalizing language, and a callous disregard for life have numbed America to its monstrous consequences. Consider the Philadelphia Horror.<\/p>\n

In the City of Brotherly Love, hundreds of babies were murdered by a scissors-wielding monster over four decades. Whistleblowers informed public officials at all levels of the wanton killings of innocent life. But a parade of government health bureaucrats and advocates protecting the abortion racket looked the other way \u2014 until, that is, a Philadelphia grand jury finally exposed the infanticide factory run by abortionist Kermit B. Gosnell, M.D., and a crew of unlicensed, untrained butchers masquerading as noble providers of women\u2019s \u201cchoice.\u201d Prosecutors charged Gosnell and his death squad with multiple counts of murder, infanticide, conspiracy, abuse of corpse, theft, and other offenses.

Deadly indifference to protecting life isn\u2019t tangential to the abortion industry\u2019s existence \u2014 it\u2019s at the core of it.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/p>\n

The 281-page grand-jury report released Wednesday provides a bone-chilling account of how Gosnell\u2019s \u201cWomen\u2019s Medical Society\u201d systematically preyed on poor, minority pregnant women and their live, viable babies. The report\u2019s introduction lays out the criminal enterprise that claimed the lives of untold numbers of babies \u2014 and mothers:<\/p>\n

This case is about a doctor who killed babies and endangered women. What we mean is that he regularly and illegally delivered live, viable babies in the third trimester of pregnancy \u2014 and then murdered these newborns by severing their spinal cords with scissors. The medical practice by which he carried out this business was a filthy fraud in which he overdosed his patients with dangerous drugs, spread venereal disease among them with infected instruments, perforated their wombs and bowels \u2014 and, on at least two occasions, caused their deaths. Over the years, many people came to know that something was going on here. But no one put a stop to it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Gosnell referred to his deadly trade as \u201censuring fetal demise.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Echoing the same kind of dark euphemisms plied by Planned Parenthood propagandists who refer to unborn life as \u201cfetal and uterine material,\u201d Gosnell referred to his deadly trade as \u201censuring fetal demise.\u201d Reminiscent of the word wizards who refer to the skull-crushing partial-birth-abortion procedure as \u201cintact dilation and evacuation\u201d and \u201cintrauterine cranial decompression,\u201d Gosnell described his destruction of babies\u2019 spinal cords as \u201csnipping.\u201d He rationalized his macabre habit of cutting off dead babies\u2019 feet and saving them in rows and rows of specimen jars as \u201cresearch.\u201d His guilt-ridden employees then took photos of some of the victims before dumping them in shoeboxes, paper bags, one-gallon spring-water bottles, and glass jars.<\/p>\n

They weren\u2019t the only ones who adopted a see-no-evil stance:<\/p>\n
