Media Ignores Grisly Abortion Practices

Details: 12 April 2013

Does the name Kermit Gosnell ring any bells? How about Alisa Lapolt Snow? Thanks to the pathetically biased major network television stations, chances are your answers are "no" to both questions.

Kermit Gosnell is currently on trial for the murder of seven infants and one abortion patient. According to reports by Operation Rescue, "Gosnell’s grisly abortion mill was nicknamed the "Charnel House" by the investigators…What the police found inside Gosnell’s building literally made them vomit!

"In the midst of the unspeakable filth... [investigators found] ancient rusty, blood-stained medical equipment… dirty disposable surgical instruments that had been reused over and over… a leaking roof… the stench of death and cat urine… and stacks of dead bodies."

In an April 3 article in LifeSiteNews.com, Sheryl Sullenger from Operation Rescue reported that jury members were shown photos of several aborted babies with gaping wounds in the back of their necks. According to authorities, Gosnell delivered babies live and then killed them by severing their spinal cords with a scissors.

"Jury members were also shown photos of babies’ feet in jars," Sullenger said, "one of which had been severed just below the hip and included the entire leg. A photo of a 2-inch foot severed above the ankle was shown next to a ruler.… Other photos taken by a Crime Scene Investigator… showed the cramped and cluttered maze of rooms at Gosnell’s… ‘House of Horrors’ abortion clinic."

Operation Rescue reports that a paramedic with the Philadelphia Fire Department also gave testimony last week about his experience at Gosnell’s abortion clinic when he responded to a "Code Blue" call for help in November 2009. The paramedic "was taken through the maze of rooms and hallways to an abortion room where he found Karnamaya Mongar laying on an abortion table, naked from the waist down with her legs still in the stirrups in full cardiac arrest… Gosnell was in the area but did not offer any help."

The other aforementioned name, Alisa Lapolt Snow, is a lobbyist for the Florida Alliance of Planned Parenthood Affiliates. Ms. Snow testified before the Florida House a couple weeks ago to oppose a bill requiring abortionists to provide care for babies born alive during botched abortions.

Rep. Jim Boyd, a member of the subcommittee holding the public hearing, responded thus to her testimony: "It’s just really hard for me to even ask you this question, because I’m almost in disbelief. If a baby is born on a table as a result of a botched abortion, what would Planned Parenthood want to have happen to that child that is struggling for life?"

Ms. Snow replied by saying "We believe that any decision that’s made should be left up to the woman, her family, and the physician." Other committee members asked Snow similar questions to which she reiterated her first response: "That decision should be between the patient and the health care provider."

To this answer, Rep. Jose Oliva replied "I think that at that point the patient would be the child struggling on a table. Wouldn’t you agree?" Snow said "That’s a very good question. I really don’t know how to answer that."

Last fall when two pro-life candidates for the U.S. Senate (Indiana and Missouri) did a poor job of explaining why they opposed abortion in the case of rape, the media covered it endlessly and it proved the end of their political careers. But when faced with the grisly excesses of the abortion industry—exemplified by Gosnell and Planned Parenthood—the major news outlets respond with a collective yawn.

A group of 20 pro-life leaders issued a statement calling on the major networks to stop censoring these outrageous stories. "The media have a solemn duty to the American people to report the news, not just news that helps the positions they support," the group said. "It’s unprofessional, it’s disgusting, and it’s inhuman."
