Kermit Gosnell led a filthy abortion clinic in Philadelphia: this is not a moral judgment; it is an official investigation in-site finding. With dirty instruments spreading veneral diseases and cats freely circulating in the facility, this is absolutely not your typical treatment center. BTW, we all know by now that pro-choicers want a world in which reproductive health centers become considered just another health service, while pro-lifers fight the very existence of those.
That aside, consider this: Kermit Gosnell delivered hundreds of intact fetuses, only to use scissors on them after they were born. We are talking about infanticide, not interruption of pregnancy, because some of these “procedures” were performed even in the third trimester.
If Kermit Gosnell were recruiting children by force to fight for him in his petty war, somebody would have shot a video to denounce him on all the existing social networks.
If Kermit Gosnell were raping a teenager and posting pictures of his despicable immoral behavior online, Anonymous would have stepped into the fight to put him behind bars.
If Kermit Gosnell were using kids as cheap labor resource to produce sneakers or electronic appliances, dozens of NGO’s would be calling for a complete boycott of his products and a boycott of those who dared to collaborate with him.
If Kermit Gosnell were molesting children behind a confessionary, he and his institution wouldn’t have been given a minute of rest. All the media would have been hounding him until he gave up and confessed.
But no, Kermit Gosnell is a doctor that specialized in abortions. That is why a huge media blackout about his trial and antecedents is in effect up to this day. In a regrettable miscalculation, reproductive right specialists and activists, not to mention the media and the politicians think the “better path” is not to cover the trial, fearing that if they do so, the pro-choice cause will lose its support.
A gross mistake. By making sure that no mainstream media outlet will talk about "Grossnell", the only thing they will achieve is that shady professionals, always eager for a quick, easy buck, will take all the advantages of minority women, which are the sole clients of these criminals. The impoverished women will keep on receiving scary “health” services; in a nutshell, you are abandoning the very people you are trying to defend.
For me, it is still about Mr. Gosnell, a very dedicated disciple of the Alberto Giubilini and Francesca Minerva school of thought: there is no difference between infanticide and abortion.
Everybody is claiming to have the moral high ground on the pro-life/pro-choice debate. You cannot claim it by hiding, shutting up and pretending that Kermit Gosnell is an invisible man.

I hate these days. People are telling you to STFU. Just say it, no matter how stupid or offensive it is.
