“Obama ‘Respects Inherent Dignity of Every Human Life’—When Deciding to Abort Terrorists
By Terrence P. Jeffrey

CNSNews.com) - Giving a speech

http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2013/05/23/remarks-president-barack-obama

on counter-terrorism policy at the National Defense University in Washington, D.C., today, President Barack Obama explained that when deciding whether to target terrorists with drones—whether or not the terrorists are U.S. citizens—he has set a ‘high threshold’ of respect for human life.

‘But the high threshold that we have set for taking lethal action applies to all potential terrorist targets, regardless of whether or not they are American citizens,’ Obama said. ‘This threshold respects the inherent dignity of every human life.’

From the ending of the speech according to the White House release:

“Thank you. God Bless you. And may God bless the United States of America.”

Recently, during President Barack Hussein Obama’s speech before Planned MURDERHOOD, he said the same thing: “God bless Planned Parenthood.” First, does President Obama believe in GOD since his actions and speech are certainly contrary to the WORD of GOD—supporting both the MURDER of unborn babies and homosexual perversion? Second, is it blasphemy to “bless” someone or some thing in the name of an entity that one does not believe in or obey? Third, is it a positive or a negative to have this President call on GOD for HIS blessing? Fourth, where are all the separation of church and State “do-gooders”? The head of the executive branch of the United States government is calling upon GOD? Isn’t he “establishing a religion” just as much as having the Ten Commandments posted outside a court room?

Finally, based upon his statement that: “This threshold respects the inherent dignity of every human life[,]” there are only two possible conclusions that can be drawn. President Barack Hussein Obama does not believe that an unborn baby in a mother’s womb is a human life! Or, Barack Hussein Obama is a liar! I know which conclusion I have drawn. What is your conclusion?

What other conclusion can be drawn?

“How Abortion Has Changed America

By Star Parker

The trial of Philadelphia abortion doctor Kermit Gosnell, facing the death penalty for the deaths of four infants and one woman in his clinic, is over. America has moved on.

It’s exactly what the pro-abortion contingent wants. They want Gosnell out of the news because they want abortion out of the news. Ongoing discussion provokes thought about the status quo. And pro-aborts want to keep things as they are.

And, they have reason to be confident.

Our president, whom no one can accuse of not being politically astute, showed up this week, despite the Gosnell story, as the first sitting president ever to address Planned Parenthood (Which means Planned MURDERHOOD is going to fall?—my addition), the nation’s largest abortion provider.

When Kirsten Powers brought attention to Gosnell, with her USA Today column, she said it wasn’t about abortion. ‘This is not about being pro-choice or pro-life,’ she wrote. ‘It is about human rights.’

For Powers, the story was about lack of supervision. And, of course, where abortions are carried out legally, clinics should be supervised and inspected.

But to leave the story there is to be content with the tip of the iceberg. And the whole iceberg is a huge story that all of America should be looking at.

The whole iceberg is bigger than abortion itself. It is about how profoundly America has changed since Roe v Wade, in 1973, made abortion an accepted part of American life.

Let’s be clear that pro-aborts and pro-lifers differ on far more than technicalities about when life begins. They differ about what life is.

In the state of Pennsylvania, where Gosnell was doing his dirty business, abortion is legal until the developing child is 24 weeks - 6 months - old. Among Gosnell’s many transgressions was performing abortions after 24 weeks.

But Planned Parenthood, and their guest speaker, our president, oppose that 24-week limit. They believe abortion should be legal until the child is born (And after, if you are completely truthful!—my addition).

In 2007, shortly after the US Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the Partial Birth Abortion Ban Act, which banned a brutal abortion procedure most commonly used to destroy infants from 15 to 26 weeks old, then-Senator Obama spoke at a Planned Parenthood event and decried the decision. He called it part of a ‘concerted effort to steadily roll back’ access to abortion (How about ending it altogether!—my addition).

Justice Kennedy, who wrote the decision, included a description of one of these procedures on a 26-week-old infant. It takes a certain deadening of the heart, of the soul to read the description of the little baby clasping his fingers and toes as the doctor jams his scissors into his skull, and still believe this should be permitted (To believe that MURDER at any stage of human development should be permitted!—my addition).

Since Roe v Wade, we’ve given birth to a new materialistic culture of narcissism where reverence for life itself is gone. Life has become a commodity and people use each other as cavalierly as they destroy innocent young life.

As our reverence for life has diminished, so has our reverence for the institutions that surround and support it.

Scholars at the Brookings Institution observed in 1996 that Roe v Wade contributed to the collapse of marriage and the dramatic increase in out-of-wedlock births. The idea that children were part of a sacred institution called marriage started disappearing.

The sense of honor, the sense of shame disappears in this culture of self.

In 1965, seven years before Roe v Wade, less then 10 percent of American babies were born to unwed mothers—24 percent to unwed black women and 3.1 percent to unwed white women. As of 2010, this was up to 41 percent of our babies born to unwed mothers—73 percent to black women and 29 percent to white women.

Sixty percent of our out-of-wedlock births are to women in their 20’s.

Soon, as our resources diminish to care for our growing aging population, we will start dealing with our elderly as we do our unborn (Murdering them—death panels—as we do the unborn? Don’t doubt it, if we continue as we are. States are already beginning to “legalize” assisted MURDER! And that is what it is—MURDER! Then, going down the list, do not resuscitate orders not requested by the patient. Then, ending the life early in order to “harvest” the patient’s organs—it is already happening according to reports. Then, a trial first 2-3 years to determine if a child is “really” wanted—a test drive if you would. And on it goes. There is an old movie where members of the society that lived in a domed city were removed (MURDERED) when they reached 30! For the good of the society. Once life is meaningless, there is little practical limits to what will be approved as “good” policy!—my addition).

But if everything is meaningless, who cares (Such a comment is a primary directive for the need for GOD in our lives!—my addition)?”

If you asked someone, who supports the MURDER of unborn babies, how that has impacted the nation how do you think he/she would answer? How would our present President answer the question? How would you answer the question?

“Has abortion changed the United States for better or for worse?”

 greatly changed for the better

 some change for the better

 remained the same from what it was—no difference

 some change for the worse

 greatly changed for the worse

The Federal Courts Continue to Violate the Constitution with Impunity! Why Do the States Permit It? Why Does Congress Permit It?

“Appeals Court Strikes Down Arizona Law Banning Abortions at 20 Weeks

by Steven Ertelt
Washington, DC
LifeNews.com
5/21/13

After a federal judge upheld an Arizona law that bans abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy, one of the most liberal appeals courts in the nation has struck is down.

In July 2012, a federal judge in Arizona issued a ruling upholding that state’s new law that goes into effect on Thursday and bans abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy.

The ACLU sued to stop the law after legislators passed the bill to ban abortions after that period of time except in very rare cases of medical emergency. The bill also requires abortion facilities to allow women to have an ultrasound of their unborn baby at least 24 hours prior to having the abortion. In many cases women change their minds about a planned abortion after seeing the images of their developing child.

Now, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the law violates U.S. Supreme Court rulings on abortion, including Roe v. Wade. The ruling does not affect similar laws passed in other states except the law in Idaho, which is also covered under the jurisdiction of the appeals court.

Ruling Link: Isaacson v. Horne, No. 12-16670 (9th Circuit)

From the decision: ‘The panel reversed the district court’s order denying declaratory and injunctive relief to plaintiffs and held that the Constitution does not permit the Arizona legislature to prohibit abortion beginning at twenty weeks gestation, before the fetus is viable (Just where in the Constitution of the United States is that stated? I know the Constitution and this nonsense is NOT in the Constitution. It isn’t in the Constitution and it wasn’t in the Constitution when the Supreme Court issued its immoral, illegal, and unconstitutional decision in the original case of Roe vs. Wade! The federal courts in this nation have been lying to the American people for over 40 years! It is time to stop this illegal dictate of an unconstitutional court decision!—my addition).’

It added: ‘The panel held that under controlling Supreme Court precedent, Arizona may not deprive a woman of the choice to terminate (MURDER!—my addition) her pregnancy (BABY!—my addition) at any point prior to viability. The panel held that Arizona House Bill 2036, enacted in April 2012, effects such a deprivation by prohibiting abortion from twenty weeks gestational age through fetal viability. The panel held that the twenty-week law is therefore unconstitutional under an unbroken stream of Supreme Court authority (The Supreme Court overstepped any authority it has in this area! It has NO authority to issue a death penalty to any person!—my addition), beginning with Roe v. Wade, 410 U.S. 113 (1973), and ending with Gonzales v. Carhart, 550 U.S. 124 (2007).’

Pro-abortion groups cheered the ruling against the bill stopping late-term abortions.

‘Today’s decision is a huge victory (For EVIL!—my addition) in the fight to protect women’s fundamental reproductive rights (No one has the “right” to MURDER an unborn child! NO ONE!—my addition), and it should send a clear message to anti-choice politicians that their attempts to deprive pregnant women of critical health care (MURDER IS NOT health care!—my addition) are clearly unconstitutional (NOT TRUE!—my addition) and will not hold up in court,’ said Sally Northup, president of the Center for Reproductive Rights (Misnomer! More correct: Center for MURDER “rights!” When are Christians going to react in righteous indignation?—my addition).

Cathi Herrod, president of Center for Arizona Policy told LifeNews she is not surprised.

‘This ruling is not surprising nor am I discouraged at the prospects of this important law ultimately being upheld,’ she said. ‘The Ninth Circuit Court is historically one of the most overturned appellate courts in the nation (It is indeed! In fact, I believe it is the most overturned appellate court particularly in recent years!—my addition). Based on the facts of this case, I am confident that this Court will be overturned once again (In the meantime the baby MURDERING continues in Arizona!—my addition).’

‘The Court put a pro-abortion ideology before the health and safety of women and preborn children. The Court held to the vague standard that abortions can only be limited based on whether the child is viable, even though they confessed viability is not a ‘fixed’ point,’ said Herrod. ‘Ultimately, as we’ve anticipated from the beginning, this case should be decided by the United States Supreme Court. Sadly, until that time, women and preborn children will suffer the consequences of this disappointing decision (My comment on this at the end of the post.—my addition).’

Against the best interests of the health and safety of Arizona’s women, the American Civil Liberties Union and the Center for Reproductive Rights filed a lawsuit to block the law from going into effect on August 2 as planned.

Judge James Teilborg’s ruling acknowledged prior Supreme Court rulings saying states may not prohibit abortions before viability. But he said the law ‘does not impose a substantial obstacle to previability abortions.’ He said state’s have a legitimate reason to protect unborn children during that time.

‘There is no question that the government may use its voice and its regulatory authority to show its profound respect for the life within the woman,’ he wrote, quoting from the Supreme Court case that upheld the federal ban on partial-birth abortions.

He also rejected pro-abortion arguments that the law prevents women from having abortions if the baby suffers from very severe abnormalities incompatible with life (What does that mean? The baby is not perfect?—my addition), saying evidence submitting court ‘stops short of claiming that there are any conditions that could only by diagnosed after 20 weeks that could not have been found before that time.’

‘The court finds that it would be extremely rare to find a condition that could be diagnosed after 20 weeks that could not have been diagnosed earlier (The courts should have NEVER gotten involved in the baby MURDERING business! NEVER!—my addition),’ he wrote.

The judge also did not go along with pro-abortion arguments that a diagnosis of fetal abnormalities will not occur until after 20 weeks and, even if a mother is prevented from having an abortion in such a case, he said ‘such a situation cannot be the basis of the court’s decision in a facial challenge to the statute.’

One purpose of the bill was to prevent abortions when unborn children feel pain and the judge was sympathetic to the legislature’s intent, saying lawmakers cited ‘substantial and well-documented evidence that an unborn child has the capacity to feel pain during an abortion by at least 20 weeks gestational age (No “right” to MURDER a baby AT ANY TIME from conception on! Barbarians are through the gate!—my addition) .’

The Center for Arizona Policy helped draft HB 2036, known as the Mother’s Health and Safety Act, and testified in support of the bill and complained when the ACLU sued.

‘Once again, we see supposed ‘pro-woman’ organizations fight to protect abortion-on-demand despite the serious risks abortion presents to new moms,’ said Cathi Herrod, President of Center for Arizona Policy. ‘The medical evidence presented during committee hearings make it clear that abortions after 20 weeks present a much greater risk to the life of the women. There is also substantial medical evidence that preborn children can feel pain at this age.’

‘Center for Arizona Policy is committed to seeing this law take effect. Americans support common sense standards that protect women from the dangerous practices of the abortion industry,’ Herrod said.

This bill, called ‘The Mother’s Health and Safety Act’:

1) Prohibits abortion after 20 weeks because of the safety risks to the mother and the pain endured by the preborn child

2) Ensures women have an ultrasound at least 24 hours prior to an abortion

3) Establishes an informed consent website which details the facts about fetal development, risks of abortion, and services available.

4) Requires doctors performing surgical abortions to have admitting privileges at a hospital within thirty miles of the abortion facility.

Arizona Right to Life was also supportive of the legislation.”

Would someone from the States please inform the federal courts what the Constitution of the United States requires? Obviously, federal court judges do not have sufficient knowledge of the Constitution to know the difference! And they are making decisions based upon the Constitution? NOT! The district court did not have jurisdiction in this case. Therefore, the appellate court does not have jurisdiction in this case. The only federal court that has jurisdiction in this case is the Supreme Court. And the Supreme Court only has original jurisdiction! The law passed by Arizona is as valid as the day it was originally passed and signed into law by the governor! Read and apply the Constitution!

Article III, §2, ¶2:

“In all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, and those in which a State shall be Party, the supreme Court shall have original Jurisdiction.” (My use of red)

“Nine of 12 Jurors Convicting Kermit Gosnell of Murder Were “Pro-Choice”

by Steven Ertelt
Philadelphia, PA
LifeNews.com
5/14/13

A new report indicates nine of the 12 jurors who convicted abortion practitioner Kermit Gosnell of murder yesterday, take a ‘pro-choice’ view of abortion (And they still convicted him. Yet, the born child is no more human than the unborn child seconds before except to the baby’s location—inside rather than outside of the mother!—my addition).

AS CNS News first uncovered, according to NBC 10 reporter Jacqueline London, ‘And to give you some background on the jurors, of the seven women and five men who are on the jury, at least nine told the court that they are pro-choice. Two say that they are neither pro-choice nor pro-life (Do you think pro-life people were deliberately excluded from the jury? And he was still convicted! Someone should tell President Barack Hussein Obama!—my addition).’

‘So, interesting background on them, they have been very attentive throughout this entire trial,’ the local reported added.

The jury in the murder trial of abortion practitioner Kermit Gosnell returned a verdict and found him guilty on three of the four first-degree murder charges he faced.

Gosnell was found guilty of killing Baby A, Baby C and Baby D and found not guilty of killing Baby E. He was also convicted on hundreds of lesser charges ranging from infanticide to running a corrupt organization.

The guilty verdict on these three counts subjects the abortion ‘doctor’ to the potential he will face the death penalty when a second jury considers his sentencing on the convictions (Plea deal for life in prison without parole!—my addition). At minimum Gosnell will face three life terms in prison. The jury that will be tasked with sentencing Gosnell on the convictions will begin its work on May 21.

Gosnell was also found guilty of involuntary manslaughter in the death of patient Karnamaya Mongar, who died after a botched abortion. And he was found guilty on most of the more than 200 counts of violating Pennsylvania’s informed consent law.

In total, Gosnell was found guilty of 21 out of 24 felony counts of illegal abortions beyond the 24 week limit and found guilty on all but 16 of 227 misdemeanor counts of violating the 24-hour informed consent law (Why are these only misdemeanors?—my addition).”

—

And yet, in spite of the conviction and the fact that a large majority of the jurors are “pro-choice,” the following occurred in the Senate.

“Democrats Again Oppose Resolution Condemning Abortionist Kermit Gosnell

by Steven Ertelt
Washington, DC
LifeNews.com
5/16/13

For the second time, Democrats took to the Senate floor to oppose a resolution condemning abortion practitioner Kermit Gosnell and calling for hearings on what led to his abortion horrors.

Lawmakers today debated a resolution introduced by Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) calling on the Senate to review public policies that led to Gosnell killing babies after they were born alive in a procedure that was a combination of abortion and infanticide.

Senator Richard Blumenthal, a Connecticut Democrat, again objected to the resolution, as he did before. He claimed the resolution should address any doctors engaging in objectionable practices rather than focusing on Gosnell and abortion (Always trying to take the spotlight off of the MURDER of unborn babies!—my addition).

The resolution, which has 26 additional cosponsors, resolves ‘Congress and States should gather information about and correct abusive, unsanitary, and illegal abortion practices and the interstate referral of women and girls to facilities engaged in dangerous or illegal second- and third-trimester procedures.’

The resolution also recognizes that ‘there is substantial medical evidence that an unborn child is capable of experiencing pain at 20 weeks after fertilization, or earlier,’ and resolves that ‘there is a compelling governmental interest in protecting the lives of unborn children beginning at least from the stage at which substantial medical evidence indicates that they are capable of feeling pain (i.e., They are human beings as they are at conception!—my addition).’

Other lawmakers like Sen. Robert Portman of Ohio support the resolution.

‘For far too long, an inexcusable lack of attention was given to the disturbing events that occurred in Dr. Gosnell’s house of horrors,’ Portman said. ‘As we learn more about the violations of the infants’ inalienable right to life, it is abundantly clear that a lack of oversight and accountability at this abortion facility contributed to heartbreaking loss of life and put women’s lives in jeopardy. In order to avoid future tragedies, I am calling on the Senate not only to investigate the causes of these mortifying events, but also to review our current public policies which failed to prevent this disaster.’

Penny Nance of Concerned Women for America applauded Lee’s efforts.

‘Senator Mike Lee (R-Utah) rose to heroic bravery to garner a sense of the Senate on similar efforts and was thwarted by Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-Connecticut). We cannot solve this problem and protect women if a common ideology of right and wrong isn’t acknowledged. Killing innocent human lives is wrong, and monsters like Kermit Gosnell have taken advantage of women for long enough (TRUE!—my addition),’ she said.

She added: ‘The evidence is clear that Gosnell’s horror show only gives a peek into what is actually happening in these kinds of clinics. The evidence given by former employees, coupled with the investigative reports from Live Action, must shake Americans and Washington out of their collective apathy. It is a sickening thought that if these babies were killed with guns instead of scissors it would be national news. Instead, the American public has been brainwashed and coddled into believing that abortions in this country are safe simply because they are legal. That is not the case, and this trial has shown how often poor minorities are targeted for these practices.’”

Abortions (AKA the MURDER of unborn babies): According to the mantra of Barack Hussein Obama and other Leftists, “Abortions (AKA the MURDER of unborn babies) should be legal, safe, and rare.” The TRUTH however is that the MURDER of unborn babies (i.e., abortion) is NOT legal, is NOT safe, and it certainly is NOT rare! The Left lies in regard to all three of their “sacred” pronouncements!

“Scandal of IRS Targeting Pro-Lifers May be Biggest Since Watergate

by Rachael Denhollander
Washington, DC
LifeNews.com
5/19/13

Washington, DC (LiveActionNews)—If the Watergate scandal went down as one of the worst in history, the recently revealed series of government abuses nicknamed ‘IRSGate’ is on its way to becoming just as infamous, as details of rampant targeting and harassment of American entities (run, of course, by American citizens), based purely on the organizations’ or citizens’ political views, continues to emerge.

It began when Lois Lerner, Director of the IRS’s Exempt Organizations, admitted in a press conference that IRS agents had targeted conservative groups for intensive and inappropriate screening, as well as unmerited delays of their application, and harassment. According to documents released by the American Center for Law and Justice, IRS agents went so far as to demand the names of all contributors or volunteers, details about what types of issues candidates would be asked in candidate forums, and disclosure of any personal relationship organization members had with candidates or elected officials (My use of red. And whether they have ever run for political office or intend to run for political office in the future!—my addition).

Then it was disclosed that not only had conservative political action groups been targeted, a prominent evangelical, James Dobson, had initially been denied tax exempt status for a new organization he had incorporated based on the fact that Dobson had personally ‘criticized’ President Obama.

In the growing tidal wave of revealed harassment, it was also discovered that the IRS had not only targeted political action groups, but had also targeted pro-life groups. Cherish Life Ministries, for example, a charitable organization which focuses on serving young mothers, educating the public on life issues, and supporting churches, was denied 501(c)(3) status and told that, in order to qualify, the group must also provide pro-abortion materials equal to their pro-life materials (My use of red—my addition). Laughable at best, given that Planned Parenthood has maintained the exact same tax exempt status being sought by Cherish Life, with zero requirement to promote pro-life materials (Or any other requirement! And Planned MURDERHOOD also receives almost ½ billion dollars from governments most of which come from the federal government! Strange how that works, isn’t it!—my addition).

Coalition for Life of Iowa suffered a similar fate, with their application resulting in excessive delays, invasive questioning, and a final letter stating that the application would only be accepted if the group provided the IRS with a letter, signed by the entire board, stating under perjury of law that they will not picket/protest or organize groups to picket or protest outside of Planned Parenthood (A direct violation of the First Amendment!—my addition). The group sought legal help from the Thomas Moore Law Center, and has now received their tax exempt status, though details of their harassment remain chilling (I posted about this Saturday on this blog.—my addition).

Perhaps even more disturbing is what happened to the group Christian Voices for Life, who were subjected to unconstitutional questions relating not just to their pro-life views, but their prayer vigils as well, harassing the group not only for pro-life speech, but also for exercising their religion.

Ironically, while admitting that agents targeted groups based on whether there were ‘[conservative] names in the title’ and that the search terms which lead to targeting included phrases such as ‘government spending,’ ‘government debt,’ ‘taxes,’ and pro-life status, Lerner maintains that the targeted efforts were not politically motivated, though it is also known that no liberal groups received any similar harassment (And such a statement is an outright LIE! This was targeting groups based upon their political views! And it DID NOT originate with low level employees! It came from above—top, down!—my addition). Currently, Lerner maintains it was the result of a small group of Cincinnati-based agents trying to ‘centralize’ the process (Nonsense! That is an outright LIE!—my addition).

The scandal is not nearly so cut-and-dry as Lerner is suggesting, however. First, because in reality, the Cincinnati office has had sole oversight of the entire process of applying for tax-exempt status for a decade—it hardly qualifies as a small band of rogue IRS agents (Also the intimidation and illegal actions occurred at more IRS offices than the office in Ohio!—my addition).

Valid questions have also been raised regarding the ties between President Obama and Planned Parenthood, and the targeting of pro-life groups who have advocated against the abortion giant, or criticized the pro-abortion President.

The concern deepens at the acknowledgement by leaders that, while President Obama likely did not have personal knowledge of the targeting (I disagree with this! He would have had to approve the decision! You don’t misuse the IRS like this without discussing it with the person who is responsible ultimately for what happens in his administration. Like it or not, deny it or not, the buck does stop with the President! It is time to impeach the President. Impeachment proceedings WILL bring an end to these covert, illegal activities or his head will roll!—my addition), it is implausible to argue that senior-level officials were in the dark, particularly as it has now been revealed that the scandal was deliberately buried until well after the presidential elections were held (Tea Party groups have been complaining about this since 2010. I was the first Treasurer for our Tea Party group and I specifically said we should not register with the IRS because I knew better—years of being a tax consultant and a political government major. Registration is necessary to get a tax number to give to banks for a checking account. Therefore, we did not have a Tea Party checking account! Given the corruption of our President, I knew we did not want to have an IRS presence!—my addition). In fact, it has been revealed that top treasury officials were made aware of an investigation into the alleged abuses nearly a full year ago.

The IRS is now facing a lawsuit over the scandal, with the potential to charge the organization under a multitude of criminal statutes, and that is reassuring. However, given that Obama’s nominee for the Department of Labor is Thomas Perez, a man known for targeting pro-life citizens and groups,

http://www.lifenews.com/2013/05/16/senate-panel-oks-obama-nominee-thomas-perez-who-targeted-pro-lifers/

and that the IRS agent formerly in charge of the office which produced these abuses,

http://www.lifenews.com/2013/05/16/irs-official-discriminating-against-pro-lifers-now-runs-obamacre-office/

is now in charge of the IRS office which will oversee Obamacare compliance, pro-lifers should be aware that this type of abuse is far from over (It will not be over until Obama and the Democrats are gone from government or he is impeached and to prevent conviction he orders the abuses to stop! Even with a Democratic Senate it is possible to get a conviction if the people want it! The Democratic Party will run from Obama to save their own jobs and a good number of them are up for reelection in the Senate in 2014! We the people STILL have the power in this country presently!—my addition).

LifeNews Note: This originally appeared at Live Action News and is reprinted with permission.”

Not only has the IRS been used and abused by the Obama Administration, so has the EPA and the Labor Department. And probably other Departments as well. Earlier today a Republican contributor and bundler called Rush on his radio show and said these unconstitutional attacks on conservatives and conservative groups were scaring off donors to the Republican Party for the 2014 election. These attacks by the Obama Administration are a direct attack upon our Democracy! He should be impeached. He is behaving as a dictatorial tyrant—not as the President of the United States. He is CORRUPT and a LIAR and has been involved in a large number of impeachable offenses!

“Congress Receives Irrefutable Evidence of IRS Harassment of Pro-Life Organizations

May 17th, 2013 by Thomas More Society

Thomas More society Calls Upon IRS Investigators to Question California Office and to Extend Investigation Back to 2009

Contact: Tom Ciesielka tc@tcpr.net

(May 17, 2013—Chicago) Today, the Thomas More Society offered over 150 pages of analysis and evidence to the House Ways and Means Committee about repeated IRS harassment of pro-life organizations. At the request of Congressman Aaron Schock (R-IL), Thomas More Society President Thomas Brejcha, Executive Director Peter Breen, and Special Counsel Sally Wagenmaker, prepared the legal memorandum with solid evidence of IRS harassment of pro-life organizations dating back to 2009.

The memo details the history of IRS misconduct in the cases of three organizations represented by the Thomas More Society. The abuse dates back further than the now publicized 2010 complaints and extends beyond the IRS’s recently exposed Cincinnati office to also include the tax agency’s California operations in the charges of blatant bias.

The IRS office in El Monte, California, began harassing Christian Voices for Life of Fort Bend County, Texas in 2011. In a series of questions penned by Exempt Organization Specialist Tyrone Thomas from the California office, the IRS asked a series of unwarranted questions ordering Christian Voices for Life without any foundation, to explain its content, message, and prayers as if they were engaging in highly offensive or criminal behavior.

Coalition for Life of Iowa found itself in the IRS’s crosshairs when the group applied for tax exempt status in October 2008. Nearly ten months of interrogation about the group’s opposition to Planned Parenthood included a demand by a Ms. Richards from the IRS’ Cincinnati office unlawfully insisted that all board members sign a sworn declaration promising not to picket/protest Planned Parenthood (Seriously! What an abuse of authority! There is NO WAY a low level bureaucrat would take this action without orders from higher up. If not sanctioned, such actions, which violate all procedures and the Constitution of the United States, would lead to dismissal and worse!—my addition). Further questioning by the IRS requested detailed information about the content of the group’s prayer meetings, educational seminars, and signs their members hold outside Planned Parenthood (Ditto! As a tax consultant, I have dealt with lower level IRS personnel. This is simply not done in, of, or by itself! Orders from above!—my addition).

In yet a third matter, an IRS agent in their Chicago office repeatedly harassed Daniel and Angela Michael of Small Victories, a pro-life organization, with an intrusive investigation, calling the leaders every 2-3 weeks over the course of 2011, beginning in January of that year. The IRS officially closed its investigation in January 2012, having found no illegal activities.

Thomas More Society attorneys are available for interviews. Contact Tom Ciesielka at 312-422-1333 or tc@tcpr.net.

“Pro-Abortion Planned Parenthood’s New Ad Campaign: Your Baby Will Thank You

by Kristi Burton Brown
Washington, DC
LifeNews.com
5/16/13

Washington, DC (LiveActionNews)—The other day, I was in the middle of doing research online when I stumbled across a Planned Parenthood ad.

Planned Parenthood, over the years, has run some pretty shocking ad campaigns.

http://liveaction.org/blog/planned-parenthoods-new-ad-campaign-speaks-of-desperation/

Without a doubt, this one is the worst I’ve ever seen:

This ad proves that insanity can indeed reach new heights.

Planned Parenthood recently coined its ‘Care. No matter what.’ slogan, around the same time the abortion giant decided that claiming to be ‘pro-choice’ wasn’t the best way to win people to their side. Now, it’s insane to claim to ‘care’ when your work is actually killing. (Insanity is defined as ‘extreme irrationality.’) But to claim that the ones you kill will ‘thank you’? I honestly can’t imagine more insane or irrational logic.

It seems as though Planned Parenthood enjoys facing the truth and running in the complete opposite direction, spinning a calculated lie, and claiming all the while that the opposite of the truth is actually true—for the supposed benefit of women everywhere (How gullible do they think women are?—my addition) .

The thought process must go something like this:

Truth: Babies suffer during abortions./Babies are ripped apart during abortions./Babies are deprived of life during abortions.

Planned Parenthood: Babies enjoy suffering./Babies enjoy getting ripped apart./Babies enjoy being deprived of life. (Just like we all would, right?!)

Truth: Women want to think their babies are happy and not suffering.

Planned Parenthood: Even though we are in the business of ensuring that thousands of babies are never born, let’s run an ad showing a happy, healthy, smiling baby (something we don’t create, but who cares?!) being held by her mother. And let’s add in the slogan, ‘Your baby will thank you.’ That way, women will think of a happy, smiling baby as they are lying on the table, going through an abortion (and their babies are being sucked apart or torn into pieces), and these women will think about how thankful their baby is.

Honestly, I don’t have a clue what could possibly have been running through the mind of whatever insane person created this ad. But maybe it was something like that.

There should seriously be a prize for anyone who can come up with any sort of legitimate benefit that Planned Parenthood gives babies. How does Planned Parenthood help babies thank their moms? For what?

Planned Parenthood is forever talking about how it provides birth control. Right. A baby who was never born because her mother was on birth control is definitely going to thank Mom for that.

In some insane jump of non-logic, Planned Parenthood is attempting to convince women that their babies will ‘thank them’ for visiting their local clinic. This is no better than Nazis posting signs of happy Jews, thanking the SS officers for the death camps—and the gas chambers in particular.

Let’s hope that our society isn’t as insane as Planned Parenthood must think we are.

Planned MURDERHOOD MURDERS unborn babies for profit! They are hired assassins! What else can one expect from such an evil, immoral “non-profit?” Logic? Truth? Justice? Mercy? Grace? Seriously?

From: http://politicaloutcast.com/2013/05/abortion-advocates-and-absurd-arguments-from-absurdity/

“According to the ever-reliable Huffington Post, the City Council for Wilmington, Delaware has passed a resolution urging for a ‘personhood of sperm’ amendment. I’m sure the writers of this resolution consider themselves masters of satire. Because it is so patently obvious that a human embryo and a male sperm are so much the same that if a man can dispose of his sperm however he wishes, women should be able to do what they want with the genetically unique and independent organism that is growing in their bodies. That was sarcasm, by the way. In case you missed it.

These pieces of ridiculous legislation have been cropping up all over the place as protests against what many idiots believe is an encroachment on women’s rights. It was a diabolically brilliant move by the pro-abortion movement to link abortion to women’s rights (Although totally FALSE! No one has the “right” to MURDER another human! No one!—my addition). Now every attack on abortion is an attempt by chauvinists to drive women back into the kitchen barefoot (Even when it is women who are calling for the end of this MURDER?—my addition). Every call for the end of prenatal genocide is just a veiled attempt by men to control women and their bodies. ‘End abortion today,’ they say, ‘and tomorrow women won’t be allowed to vote.’ It’s easy for an attempted argument from absurdity to become any number of informal fallacies (e.g., straw man, slippery slope, etc.) And as is often the case with people who desperately want to defend an untenable position, they resort to ridicule and rage far before they ever employ reason. Mostly because reason isn’t on their side.

Thus, irrational protest legislation abounds making it clear that the ‘war on women’ will not stand. Notice that the Wilmington City Council did not fight for the personhood of an ovum. No. They want to make it clear: ‘You mess with our bodies, we’ll mess with yours.’ Similarly ridiculous reductio ad absurdum legislation was proposed to protest a Virginia bill (which has passed since then) that required women to have an ultrasound before they were allowed to have an abortion. The protest bill, in typically self-satisfied style, required that men have a rectal exam and a cardiac stress test before they got treatment for erectile dysfunction. Apparently feminists have no problem implying that the common denominator between viagra and abortion is the continuation of consequenceless recreational sex. And here I thought it was about women’s rights.

No one seems to get it though. The vast majority of anti-abortionists aren’t trying to control women. They’re trying to save lives. Because we obviously think there is a significant difference between a sperm or an ovum on one hand and a human embryo—a human being—on the other. And honestly, whatever the abortion advocates might say to the contrary, they know there is a difference too. It’s hard not to recognize the difference. In an excellent article on the ethics of stem-cell research, I read these insightful words:

‘But are human embryos human beings?

Indeed they are, and contemporary human embryology and developmental biology leave no significant room for doubt about it. The adult human being reading these words was, at an earlier stage of his or her life, an adolescent, and before that an infant. At still earlier stages he or she was a fetus and before that an embryo. In the infant, fetal, and embryonic stages, each of us was then what we are now, namely, a whole living member of the species Homo sapiens. Each of us developed by a gradual, unified, and self-directed process (And GOD created—my addition) from the embryonic into and through the fetal, infant, child, and adolescent stages of human development, and into adulthood, with his or her determinateness, unity, and identity fully intact. Although none of us was ever a sperm cell or an ovum—the sperm and ovum from whose union we emerged were genetically and functionally parts of other human beings—each of us was once an embryo, just as we were once infants, children, and adolescents. In referring to ‘the embryo,’ then, we are referring not to something distinct from the human being that each of us is, but rather to a certain stage in the development of each human being—like saying ‘the teenager’ or ‘the five-year old (Absolutely correct and undeniable!—my addition).’

If this were not the case, my hypothetical pro-abortionist, why would it matter if the embryo/baby/infant/toddler/teenager had already exited a women’s body? Hmmmm? What difference would that make? Do I have authority to dispose of my sperm only as long as it stays in my body? No. That’s stupid. Even (and maybe even especially) after it exits my body, it remains a terminal product of my body. Because our gametes are actually part of our bodies. In fact, a female child is conceived with her gametes already predetermined by her genetic makeup. There’s a conundrum for you. Does that unborn child have authority over her gametes? Apparently not, according to logic-anemic abortion advocates. In fact, she isn’t even entitled to her own life. How’s that for a war on women?

But if gametes and embryos are so much the same, why don’t you—Mr. or Mrs. Hypothetical advocate of abortion—praise Andrea Yates as a feminist hero rather than condemn her as a murderer? Why don’t you build a monument to Kermit Gosnell as a social crusader? Is it because he took your argument to its horrifically absurd logical conclusion, and you couldn’t bear to look? But don’t you know? This is what abortion actually is—it’s the murder of a human being. And there’s no way around it (My use of red—my addition).

That’s why Gosnell was visibly annoyed by the guilty verdict read to him by a jury of his peers. Wouldn’t you be annoyed in his position? He’s thinking, ‘Hey! I’m getting some really mixed messages here. We all already knew it was murder, right? What did you think it was? I thought you guys were okay with that. I certainly was. What difference does it really make if I kill the baby in the womb or out of it?’

Comparing sperm cells to an embryo is not a valid argument from absurdity. It’s just absurd. It’s actually stupid. It’s stupider than the homosexual chicken petition to Chick-Fil-A. Because no lives were on the line then. We have so much blood on our hands already, and abortion advocates are over there making clever, self-congratulatory jokes to defend the brutal murder of the most innocent and guiltless members of our population. Wake up, people.”

Every successful abortion MURDERS a human being! Every time! Even abortion doctors admit that to be the truth! Every person, who supports abortion in a particular circumstance, supports the MURDER of a human being in that particular circumstance, without exception!

Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid: Pro-Live Activism Is What “Caused” the Unsanitary, MURDEROUS Conditions at the Gosnell Abortion Clinic

“Harry Reid: ‘Butcher’ Gosnell is Why We Need More Abortion Access

by Steven Ertelt
Washington, DC
LifeNews.com
5/14/13

The top Democrat in the Senate is now coming under fire for comments about the Kermit Gosnell murder trial and the verdict finding him guilty on three counts of killing babies sin gruesome abortion-infanticides.

Reid called Gosnell a butcher, according to a Weekly Standard report, but the Senate Democratic leader then went on to blame pro-lifers and said more access to abortion is needed. The top Democrat apparently thinks the Gosnell trial was merely about dirty and unsanitary abortion clinics rather than him taking the lives of women in botched abortions and killing (MURDERING—my addition) babies by birthing them and snipping their necks.

As the Weekly Standard reports:

At a Tuesday afternoon press conference, Senate majority leader Harry Reid blamed laws restricting abortion and pro-lifers who picket abortion clinics for pushing women to the clinic of Dr. Kermit Gosnell, who was convicted Monday for murdering three infants (Was his clinic never picketed? Does he realize that the clinic was located in a Black neighborhood and was used by Black women living in that area? Did the pro-life people demand that he keep his clinic unsanitary? He reportedly made a million plus dollars a year. He couldn’t afford the upkeep on the clinic? He was doing this MURDEROUS work for 30 years and the pro-life movement is responsible? Really? What is Senator Reid smoking?—my addition).

‘What led to these convictions of murder for this man is the fact that people have been pushed back into these holes to do something that’s legal (What he was convicted of is not legal! That’s why he was convicted! Has Harry Reid been screaming his lies so long that he now actually believes them? Constitutionally, the MURDER of unborn babies has NEVER been legal nationally! NEVER! And constitutionally, it is not today! I thought Harry Reid is a lawyer? Of course, being a lawyer does not mean one knows the Constitution. As President Obama has demonstrating, teaching a constitutional law class does not mean one knows the Constitution!—my addition),’ Reid said before mentioning the picketing of clinics and ‘all these restrictive laws.’

According to the Senate’s top Democrat, the case highlighted the need for ‘clean and sterile’ late-term abortion clinics.

‘I think to keep pushing these clinics back into the situations where they wind up like this is wrong (I think Harry Reid is going to have a lot to answer to GOD for if he does not repent!—my addition),’ Reid said. ‘I think no matter how you stand on the issue of abortion, people who make that decision should do it and not have to be worried about infections and some butcher like this doing the bad things they do (And this was caused by pro-life people? Does Gosnell have no responsibility in this? Does the State of Pennsylvania have no responsibility in inspecting MURDER clinics? This is a clinic that, according to reports, had not been inspected for 17 years!—my addition). They should be in a place that’s clean and sterile and have people that know what they’re doing and care about what they do (And, if that is not happening, it is the fault of the pro-life “scumbags?”—my addition).’”

The video:

From the video from Harry Reid: “The law of the land is now what the Supreme Court has said.” What! Where is that in the Constitution? Where in the Constitution is the Supreme Court given the power and authority to make law?!!!

This is from the most powerful Senator in the U.S Senate! And next in line is Illinois’ own Dick Durbin. Doesn’t it make you wonder how the Democrats were ever given control of the Senate! It is time to take back the Senate in 2014! Elect social/fiscal conservatives to the United States Senate in 2014!!!

Dr. Gosnell Abortion Trial Verdict and the Aftermath

From: http://www.lifenews.com/2013/05/13/kermit-gosnell-found-guilty-of-on-three-first-degree-murder-charges/


“Kermit Gosnell Found Guilty on Three First-Degree Murder Charges

by Steven Ertelt
Washington, DC
LifeNews.com
5/13/13

The jury in the murder trial of abortion practitioner Kermit Gosnell returned a verdict and found him guilty on three of the four first-degree murder charges he faced.

Gosnell was found guilty of killing Baby A, Baby C and Baby D and found not guilty of killing Baby E. He was also convicted on hundreds of lesser charges ranging from infanticide to running a corrupt organization.

The guilty verdict on these three counts subjects the abortion ‘doctor’ to the potential he will face the death penalty when a second jury considers his sentencing on the convictions. At minimum Gosnell will face three life terms in prison. The jury that will be tasked with sentencing Gosnell on the convictions will begin its work on May 21.

Gosnell was also found guilty of involuntary manslaughter in the death of patient Karnamaya Mongar, who died after a botched abortion. And he was found guilty on most of the more than 200 counts of violating Pennsylvania’s informed consent law.

In total, Gosnell was found guilty of 21 out of 24 felony counts of illegal abortions beyond the 24 week limit and found guilty on all but 16 of 227 misdemeanor counts of violating the 24-hour informed consent law.

One local reporter covering the trial indicated Gosnell ‘heard verdict passively, with small bitter faced smiles.’ A Fox news reporter added, ‘Our Fox producer in the courtroom says Gosnell looked mad when the verdicts were read.’

Multiple reports indicate an assistant prosecutor sobbed as the verdict was read.

Below are the details related to the four babies Gosnell was charged with killing:

Baby Boy A was the biggest baby that Kareema Cross had ever seen delivered at Gosnell’s abortion ‘House of Horrors’ clinic in the four years she worked there. He was delivered to 17-year old Shaquana Abrams at 29.4 weeks gestation, according to an ultrasound record. Baby Boy A was so large, he did not fit into the plastic shoe box that Gosnell tossed him in. Cross said she saw the baby pull in his arms and legs while Gosnell explained the movements as ‘reflexes’ telling her the baby really didn’t move prior to cutting the baby’s neck. Baby Boy A was so large, Gosnell joked that ‘this baby is big enough to walk around with me or walk me to the bus stop.’ Cross and fellow employees Adrienne Moton and 15-year old Ashley Baldwin were all so ‘startled’ by the size of the baby that they all took photos of the baby with their cell phones.

Baby C was an intact baby of over 25-weeks gestation. Kareema Cross testified that she saw Baby C breathing and described the up and down chest movements she observed for 20 minutes. She told the court she saw Lynda Williams lift the baby’s arm and watched as the newborn drew it back on its own power. Afterwards, Williams inserted surgical scissors into the baby’s neck and ‘snipped’ the spinal cord. Gosnell was said to be in the room at the time. This baby’s murder charges were unintentionally dismissed in the place of Baby F, but were reinstated after Judge Minehart discovered his error.

Baby D was described by witnesses as 12-15 inches long with the head the size of a ‘big pancake’ when he was delivered into a toilet. Kareema Cross testified that she saw the baby struggling, using swimming motions in an attempt to get out of the toilet bowl. Adrienne Moton pulled the baby out and ‘snipped’ the neck, as Gosnell had taught her to do, while the mother watched. Gosnell has also been charged with Criminal Solicitation of Moton to commit murder of Baby D.

Baby E was estimated to be at least 23 weeks gestation and maybe more. After Baby E was delivered, teen Ashley Baldwin heard the baby cry and called Kareema Cross for help. Cross described the baby’s cry as a ‘whine.’ Baldwin said that Gosnell went into the room then came out with the baby—which now had an incision in its neck—and tossed it into the waste bin.

Gosnell is charged with four counts of first-degree murder for killing babies following delivery in an abortion process that involved ‘snipping’ their necks and spinal cords. He also faces a third-degree murder charge related to the death of a woman, Karnamaya Mongar, 41, of Virginia, from a botched legal abortion. Gosnell, who has been in jail since his January 2011 arrest.

The abortionist faces 258 counts total and other charges against him include one count of infanticide and one of racketeering, 24 counts of performing third-trimester abortions and 227 counts of failing to follow the 24-hour waiting period law before an abortion so women can consider its risks and alternatives.

Last week, the jury wanted to re-hear testimony from Adrienne Moton, a medical assistant who told the court in March that she snipped the spines of at least 10 babies during unorthodox abortions. And she said Dr. Kermit Gosnell and another employee did the same sipping technique.

Moton, the first employee to testify, sobbed as she recalled taking a cellphone photograph of one baby left in her work area. She thought he could have survived, given his size and pinkish color. She had measured him at nearly 30 weeks.

‘The aunt felt it was just best for her (the mother’s) future,’ Moton testified.

Gosnell later joked that the baby was so big he could have walked to the bus stop, she said.

Jurors saw Moton’s photograph on a large screen in the courtroom, which took on a bizarre look Tuesday as she testified near a hospital bed with stirrups and other aging obstetric equipment. Denied the chance to bring jurors to the shuttered inner-city clinic, prosecutors are instead recreating a patient room in court.

Moton, 35, sobbed as she described her work at the clinic. Because of problems at home, she had moved in with Gosnell and his third wife during high school, and she went to work for him from 2005 to 2008. She earned about $10 an hour, off the books, to administer drugs, perform sonograms, help with abortions and dispose of fetal remains. Workers got $20 bonuses for second-term abortions on Saturdays, when a half-dozen were sometimes performed.

She once had to kill a baby delivered in a toilet, cutting its neck with scissors, she said. Asked if she knew that was wrong, she said, ‘At first I didn’t.’

If sentenced for the convictions, Gosnell could face the death penalty following the convictions by the jury in Common Pleas Court in Philadelphia.

Under Pennsylvania law, all 12 of the jurors must reach a unanimous verdict on any of the murder counts Gosnell faces for him to be convicted on any of them. Each of the elements of a charged crime must be proven to each juror beyond reasonable doubt for that juror to vote to convict on that count and one reluctant juror could lead to a mistrial on any of the first-degree murder charges.

Since prosecutors are pursuing the death penalty in the case, the jury will only be deciding whether Gosnell is guilty related to the charges. If convicted, a second jury will be impaneled to determine sentencing under the penalty phase of the trial. During this phase, the judge has already instructed jurors to only consider guilt or innocence.

Given the number of charges Gosnell faces, and the fact that Gosnell has a co-defendant the jury is considering for conviction as well, the jury may take a longer period of time to arrive at a verdict on each of the 250-plus charges.

Most of the focus in the murder trial of abortion practitioner Kermit Gosnell is on the murder charges he faces for killing babies in abortion-infanticides and for killing a woman in a botched abortion.

But Gosnell faces more than 200 charges related to violating Pennsylvania state law that requires him to provide women with informed consent 24 hours prior to the abortion. Gosnell is charged with breaking that law by not giving women information about abortion risks and alternatives 24 hours prior to the abortion.

Eight other defendants who are former staffers of Gosnell’s Philadelphia abortion clinic have pleaded guilty to a variety of charges and are awaiting sentencing.

Previously, the judge in the case reinstated one of the murder charges and dropped another. Gosnell’s defense attorney asked the judge to drop three of the charges for killing the babies and the judge agreed with the contention there was not enough evidence to convict Gosnell on those charges. Another charge of infanticide was also dropped.

One of the dropped charges involved a 28-week-old baby Gosnell killed and whose remains were kept in an abortion clinic freezer.

Common pleas court Judge Jeffrey Minehart also dropped five counts of corpse abuse at the request of his defense attorney and did not explain his ruling dropping any of the charges.

The defense had argued that there were no live births at Gosnell’s Women’s Medical Center abortion clinic and contends the babies died during abortions and their necks were snipped afterwards. But former Gosnell staffers testified they saw signs of life even after the abortion had been completed—saying the babies ‘jumped’ and ‘screamed’ and tried to escape.

Gosnell, whose squalid ‘house of horrors’ abortion clinic has surprised even investigative officials, has had an almost flippant attitude toward his macabre abortion practices which shocked the nation.

‘The Gosnell case is a watershed moment for the issue of abortion,’ said Troy Newman, President of Operation Rescue and Pro-Life Nation. ‘The discovery of his horrific practices helped shed light on an abortion industry that has run amok without oversight or accountability for decades, and has prompted significant changes in abortion laws and attitudes toward enforcement in several states.’

Previously, Gosnell’s wife Pearl pleaded guilty to assisting her husband at his Philadelphia abortion center where he killed a woman in a botched abortion and has killed hundreds of babies in abortion-infanticides. Pearl Gosnell was considering a plea deal similar to the one several of Gosnell’s former abortion center employees have made where they have pleaded guilty to receive a lesser sentence in exchange for testifying against Gosnell.

Pearl also worked at the abortion center Gosnell ran that had him kill and injure women in failed abortions and kill perhaps hundreds of babies in grisly infanticides by birthing them and ‘snipping’ their spinal cords. She worked at the Women’s Medical Society abortion business her husband ran as a full-time medical assistant from 1982 until she married Kermit Gosnell in 1990, when she switched to only working on Sundays.

At that time, the abortion business was officially closed but would do its latest-term abortions if possible. The grand jury report indicates Pearl Gosnell testified that she alone helped Kermit do abortions on Sundays when she would ‘help do the instruments’ in the operating room despite no medical training.

The murder charges also came in connection with the botched abortion death of 41-year-old Karnamaya Mongar, who died at Gosnell’s abortion clinic after a failed abortion. Mongar died November 20, 2009, after overdosing on anesthetics prescribed by the doctor.

Mongar’s family filed a lawsuit against Gosnell’s abortion business seeking damages. Gosnell and several staffers at his abortion center, including Pearl, were arrested in January after a grand jury indicted them on multiple charges after officials raided his abortion business following a woman’s death and discovered a ‘shop of horrors’ filled with bags of bodies and body parts of deceased unborn children and babies killed in infanticides.

Meanwhile, women have spoken out about their treatment and one woman says she was drugged and tied up and forced to have an abortion. Authorities searching the facility found bags and bottles holding aborted babies scattered around the building, jars containing babies’ severed feet lining a shelf, as well as filthy, unsanitary furniture and equipment.

The grand jury investigation also shows state officials did nothing when reports came in about problems at Gosnell’s abortion center, which has upset incoming pro-life Governor Tom Corbett.

Gosnell’s abortion center was inspected only after a federal drug raid in 2010. It was the first time the facility had been inspected in 17 years because state officials ignored complaints and failed to visit Gosnell’s Women’s Medical Society for years.

The abortion industry has been forced to suspend two abortion businesses that employed embattled abortion practitioner Kermit Gosnell, who has been the subject of national controversy over his abortion business in Philadelphia.”

“Gosnell Attorney Blames Media, ‘Baby Factor’ For Conviction

by Steven Ertelt

Kermit Gosnell’s attorney Jack McMahon is curiously blaming the media for today’s conviction of the abortion practitioner on three counts of murder related to abortion-infanticides.

He said he was confident in the legal system but blamed ‘The baby factor’ for the convictions. He also blamed the media, which is odd given the stunning lack of attention it gave to the Gosnell murder trial over the last several weeks.

‘The media has been overwhelmingly against [Gosnell],’ he told reporters.

Still, McMahon applauded the jury for taking its job seriously: ‘They didn’t just come down kneejerk and find him guilty of everything, this jury, five murder counts were not guilty, so they obviously took their job seriously.’

McMahon was previously ‘furious’ over a Fox News special report that presented an hour-long backgrounder on Gosnell and his abortion business, as well as the charges he faced in the murder trial. McMahon claims the special was designed to sway members of the jury, even though jurors have been instructed to not watch or read any media coverage. Later, none of the jurors said they saw the special.”

“New York Times Reports Kermit Gosnell Guilty of Killing ‘Fetuses’

Someone get the staff of the New York Times down to NYU for a Biology 101 class. The Gray Lady reported today that abortion practitioner Kermit Gosnell was found guilty of killing ‘fetuses.’

Never mind that a ‘fetus’ is an unborn child in the womb, not a baby who was killed after purposefully being birthed in an abortion process that is essentially infanticide. Unlike what the Times reported, a jury of 12 people, who clearly paid attention in seventh grade Life Science class, convicted him of three counts of first-degree murder.

But, as the Washington Free Beacon first noted, the New York Times referred to those infants as ‘fetuses’ six times in the paper’s report on the conviction.

From the NYT:

1) The verdict came after a five-week trial in which the prosecution and the defense battled over whether the fetuses Dr. Gosnell was charged with killing were alive when they were removed from their mothers.

2) Dr. Gosnell was acquitted of one first-degree murder charge involving an aborted fetus.

3) Clinic workers who appeared as witnesses for the prosecution said some of the fetuses appeared to move or make noises.

4) Dr. Gosnell kept the severed feet of aborted fetuses in dozens of jars around his clinic.

5) Mr. McMahon argued that there was no evidence that any of the fetuses were born alive.

6) Mr. McMahon also dismissed prosecutors’ arguments that one of the fetuses, Baby C, was alive after being aborted.

My use of red. The Left loves to play word games. Never identify a baby as a baby if one can use another term. Thus fetus instead of baby throughout! Some things do not change!

“Pro-Life Groups Elated After Abortion Doc Gosnell Convicted of Murder

Leading pro-life groups are delighted abortion practitioner Kermit Gosnell was found guilty of killing three babies in horrific abortion-infanticide procedures.

LifeNews has chronicled various reactions from pro-life groups and activists and sampled them below:

‘Kermit Gosnell was convicted of murder for severing the necks of just-born babies, but those babies would have died just as painfully if he had killed them inside the womb, as most late-term abortionists do,’ commented National Right to Life President Carol Tobias. ‘The result is the same for the baby whether it meets its end in a shabby clinic like Gosnell’s or a brand new Planned Parenthood facility—a painful death.’

‘We are ecstatic about these verdicts. Justice was done. This could spell the end of Roe v. Wade,’ said Troy Newman, President of Operation Rescue. ‘For the first time, America has gotten a long hard look at the horrors that go on inside abortion clinics. We see documentation of similar shoddy practices in other abortion clinics across our country. Gosnell is not alone by any means. Now it is time for America to do some real soul searching and decide whether the abortion cartel’s unaccountable and out-of-control abuses of vulnerable women are really how we want to treat each other. There are better ways to help women than to subject them to the kind of horrors found at abortion clinics in our nation. It’s time to end the inhumane and barbaric practice of abortion for good.’

Lila Rose of Live Action added: ‘Dr. Kermit Gosnell’s gruesome and inhuman crimes in Philadelphia cried out for justice, and now—for three of his four born and struggling victims, at least—justice has been served. Even as we celebrate this verdict, we honor and mourn as well those innocents who did not receive ‘their day in court’—and we must remember that Gosnell is not an outlier within the abortion industry. We cannot allow these ‘guilty’ verdicts, welcome as they are, to make us complacent when it comes to the continuing abuses happening even now in abortion facilities throughout our nation. We call upon Congress to investigate all those participating in or willing to participate in this kind of brutality toward vulnerable women and children, and end it.’

Michael Ciccocioppo, executive director of the Pennsylvania Pro-Life Federation: ‘The Kermit Gosnell case is a tragedy on so many levels, not just for our Commonwealth but for our nation. Officials believe Gosnell actually killed hundreds of newborn babies and injured their mothers, but he destroyed most of the evidence. These were heinous crimes and Gosnell had to be held accountable.’

‘For the sake of all Gosnell’s victims, let us never forget the rampant disregard for life that was allowed to continue for decades in our state. We hope that in the future politics will not stand in the way of protecting the health and safety of women and newborns. In the wake of the Gosnell tragedy, Governor Tom Corbett and the state legislature took action to ensure that abortion facilities would be regularly inspected and would be subject to the same standards as outpatient surgery centers. This is really the most that can be done under the tragic U.S. Supreme Court decision Roe v. Wade, which brought us abortion on demand and the unspeakable tragedy of Gosnell. It’s time to take a second look at Roe—in memory of Gosnell’s victims (It is time, past time to repeal Roe. It was never a constitutional decision!—my addition)’

Bryan Kemper of Stand True: Even if not on every count, I am thrilled today by the guilty verdict in the Gosnell murder trial; I have waited many years for justice to be served on behalf of babies being killed by abortionists. While this may be a small victory in the grand scheme of the abortion holocaust, it is an important victory for every baby who has ever been killed under the guise of choice. The ugliness of what abortion really is has had its mask peeled away and the truth about the violent and deadly abortion industry has been shown to the world. Gosnell was not a lone bad guy as so many in the abortion industry have tried to make him out to be: he is the face of abortion, the logical conclusion to the thought process that allows it in the first place. I wept as I realized that after 20 years of fighting abortion full time there is finally some legal justice for these precious babies and an abortionist is found guilty if killing children.

Charmaine Yoest of Americans United for Life: ‘The self-interested indifference of an unrepentant, unregulated, and unmonitored abortion industry stood front and center among the tragic events that led to the conviction of Kermit Gosnell. The legacy of Gosnell’s trial will be Big Abortion’s collusion in bringing about America’s ‘red-light district of medicine’—today’s back-alley abortion clinics and renegade abortion profiteers. Consistently pro-life Americans must fight Big Abortion as they attempt to block commonsense attempts to regulate and monitor abortion clinics where we know that some women and girls have suffered and even died. I applaud the verdict and thank all those who worked so hard to bring Gosnell to justice. We must now protect women and infants from an abortion industry that steadfastly refuses to police itself. How many women, girls, and infants must die before the abortion industry is held accountable?’

‘Both the National Abortion Federation and local Planned Parenthood knew of Gosnell’s grisly business, but they stayed silent. Meanwhile, Gosnell’s clinic went almost two decades without inspection as women and girls were victimize and subjected to dangerous and inhumane conditions,’ noted Dr. Yoest. ‘This case underscores why abortion clinics must be subjected to medically appropriate standards and regular inspections. And Kermit Gosnell is not the aberration that abortion advocates claim. Over the last three years at least 15 states have initiated investigations into the conditions and practices of abortion clinics. These investigations were triggered by women’s deaths, reports of dangerous and unsanitary practices that exposed women to injuries and infections, and infants born alive following attempted abortions.

Father Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life: ‘The guilty verdict on charges of killing babies following abortion shows that the law recognizes a point at which the ‘right to choose’ must yield to the right to life, and also shows that abortionists don’t know where that point is. Such laws must be strengthened in every state.

‘Gosnell’s guilty verdict in the death of Karnamaya Mongar is different. Gosnell didn’t slit her neck but he did create conditions that caused her death. And Mongar is not the only mother harmed or killed in the hundreds of dangerous, unregulated, legal abortion clinics across our country. There are hundreds of Gosnells and they have to be stopped. The lessons to be learned from this case, and the actions that should follow upon it, are largely independent of the verdict rendered today. Those lessons and actions are summarized in my public statement about the case.’

Anna Higgins, J.D., director of the Center for Human Dignity at the Family Research Council: ‘The jury’s verdict in the trial of abortionist Kermit Gosnell brings a just conclusion to a horrific case. The Gosnell case serves to highlight two major problems with the abortion industry in this country—its callous disregard for the health and safety of women and the inhumanity of abortion, especially late-term abortion.’

‘The murders of babies and of at least one woman at the hands of Gosnell could have been prevented had the Pennsylvania health department inspected the Gosnell facility immediately after receiving numerous complaints. Instead, the department ignored the dangerous conditions for 17 years. In order to protect women like Karnamaya Mongar and prevent infanticide from being practiced in this country, Congress must work with states to require abortion clinics to apply the same safety standards as those followed by other medical facilities, including veterinary offices.’

‘The greatest tragedy is that Kermit Gosnell is not alone. Exploitation of women and complete disregard for their health and well-being are problems endemic to the entire abortion industry,’ said SBA (Susan B. Anthony—my addition) List President Marjorie Dannenfelser. ‘There are numerous examples of negligence and even death in abortion facilities across the country. Now is the moment to realize that abortion is neither safe, nor rare. Abortion is a brutal, painful procedure, both for the child that it kills and the woman that it wounds. We must protect children both inside and outside the womb who experience unspeakable pain from abortion. Congress must address its role in protecting nationwide the human rights of children.’”
