Poking society in the eye with a sharp pointy stick
In South Dakota a law was recently enacted where women seeking abortions would have a 3 day waiting period before getting the procedure done. Of course the pro-abortion crowd has an issue with this.
However I have to ask how this is any different from the 48 hour waiting period needed to purchase a handgun in South Dakota?
While I’m not a fan of guns purchasing a gun does not guarantee someone’s death. An abortion does.

| ‘Dr.’ Kermit Gosnell |
That evil spotted son of a bitch over there is Dr. Kermit P. Gosnell. As far as I’m concerned he’s a doctor the same way that Mengele was.
This sick and greedy bastard is the now infamous West Philadelphia abortion doctor who has been arrested not only on murder charges but for several other atrocities as well.
The main charge is that Gosnell is accused of third degree murder in the 2009 death of 41-year-old Karnamaya Mongar. She died after an overdose of anesthesia which according to some reports Gosnell let an untrained teenager administer on some of his patients.
What really pushes this story way over the edge was the way that Gosnell performed abortions. Allegedly Gosnell would perform lat term abortions which are illegal in Pennsylvania. He would allegedly deliver the babies that were viable outside of the womb in the 6th, 7th and 8th months and then sever their spinal cords with a pair of scissors. He called it “snipping,” Seven of the babies that this was done to are known but there may have been hundreds more but Gosnell is believed to have destroyed a lot of his own records. Witnesses say that Gosnell was so flippant about the procedure that he once joked that one of the babies was so big it could have walked him to the bus stop.
Gosnell performed these procedures for 30 years making millions of dollars in the process. The thing is whil Gosnell had a medical degree he was not trained in obstetrics-gynecology. Prosecutors say that he was not even close to being qualified to perform an abortion.
Gosnell allegedly also trained his employees to hold the ultrasound ways in such a way that it would make the baby look like it was less than 24 weeks along.
Investigators also say that Gosnell kept bags and bottles of the remains of the babies around his ‘clinic’ including severed legs in jars that served no medical purpose.

| Remains of the babies from the grand jury report |
I was going to try and remain apolitical on this post but I just can’t for two reasons. The first is Gosnell’s rates…
Gosnell didn’t advertise, but word got around. Women came from across the city, state and region for illegal late-term abortions, authorities said. They paid $325 for first-trimester abortions and $1,600 to $3,000 for abortions up to 30 weeks. The clinic took in $10,000 to $15,000 a day, authorities said.
To me this is no different than hiring a hitman for the unborn except hitmen aren’t usually as brutal as this butcher and could probably get you a better deal for an adult. Now take those figures per dead baby and multiply them to get the millions of dollars in blood money that Gosnell collected over the decades. His numbers may rival that of Pol Pot.
The second part is the fact that the state of Pennsylvania did nothing about Gosnell’s cat urine soaked butcher shop for close to 20 years for political reasons…
State regulators ignored complaints about Gosnell and the 46 lawsuits filed against him, and made just five annual inspections, most satisfactory, since the clinic opened in 1979, authorities said. The inspections stopped completely in 1993 because of what prosecutors said was the pro-abortion rights attitude that set in after Democratic Gov. Robert Casey, an abortion foe, left office.
Casey’s successor, Tom Ridge, was a pro-choice Republican.
Greed, corruption, politics and good old fashioned ineptitude allowed this mass murder to go on for 30 years.
And I’m going to lose a few readers on this one but for those of you who complain that because late term abortions are illegal causing ‘back alley’ conditions like this I have one thing to say. Show some responsibility. Take that as you like.
Of course this pile of evil death worshiping garbage is maintaining his ‘innocence’.
It’s a good thing ‘They’ are not Philly cops because ‘They’ would have severed his spine with a bullet at his arrest.
I’m not going to give this attention whore any more attention then she’s already gotten but I have two things to say.
The first is this is how disposable unborn life has become when ‘women’ are Tweeting and posting on YouTube about their abortion.
The second thing is what in the blue hell did she think would happen?
CBS Urged To Drop Tebows’ Super Bowl Ad:
A collective of Women’s groups have their collective panties in a bunch over an ad that is set to air on CBS during the Super Bowl.
The ad is about Pam Tebow who on a mission trip to the Philippines became ill and was recommended by doctors to terminate her pregnancy at that time. Mrs. Tebow chose to keep the baby and eventually gave birth to two time national champion Florida quarterback and Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow.
Tim Tebow himself has handled the situation with class…
“I know some people won’t agree with it, but I think they can at least respect that I stand up for what I believe,” Tebow said. “I’ve always been very convicted of it (his views on abortion) because that’s the reason I’m here, because my mom was a very courageous woman. So any way that I could help, I would do it.”
The women’s groups are afraid that this will convey a pro-life message. So what if it does? There’s a word for people who want to silence the opinions of their opponents. It just escapes me at the moment. If you don’t want to hear a pro-life message then don’t watch the ad. It really is that simple. If you want your own ad pony up the money to get it played during the Super Bowl.
Not to mention this is one of the problems I have with abortion. If Pam Tebow terminated her pregnancy we would not have had one of the greatest collegiate athletes of all time, even though I’m not a fan (Roll Tide). For each abortion that is committed you could be preventing the world from the person who goes on to cure cancer. But no, you’d rather deprive someone of that opportunity just because it doesn’t fit into your lifestyle.
The ultimate act of selfishness.
Court OKs child’s abortion suit:
Long story short.
Woman goes to Planned Parenthood to get an abortion.
Planned Parenthood botches the abortion.
Baby is born with injuries due to botched abortion.
Woman sues Planned Parenthood for damaging her child’s health.
Alabama state appeals court allows the lawsuit.
Welcome to America. The land of no responsibility.
Adoption Agency Rejects Catholic Parents:
You have no idea how pissed off I am about this. As an adoptee and a semi-Catholic this infuriates me to no end.
So this “Christian” adoption agency in Mississippi called Bethany Christian Services does not allow Roman Catholics to adopt through their agency because Roman Catholicism conflicts with their “Statement of Faith.” Now I checked their “Statement of Faith” and I see nothing in there that specifically excludes true believers of the Catholic Church. Even so this is ridiculous. In this day of abortions on demand they should be happy that any couple regardless of faith is willing to adopt. They’re willing to deny a child a family and deny a family a child solely based on religion. Even Catholic Social Services isn’t that bad. According to CSS of North Carolina the only religious requirement is you must have religious faith and be an active church participant regardless of denomination.
This is why I’m not so hung up about gay marriage. I’d rather see a child be adopted by a gay couple then end up in an abortionist’s dumpster. Agencies like Bethany Christian Services should make it easier for parents to adopt, not more difficult. And discriminating based on religion is about as anti-Christian as you can get.
TOF to Deb.
Thanks to DeoDuce for bringing this to my attention…
From the creators of the “I had an abortion” t-shirt comes the new…
“Kiss me. I’m Pro-Choice.” T-Shirt.
The people at Planned Parenthood are once again responsible for this travesty of a t-shirt.
The aforementioned DeoDuce put it best…
Why doesn’t it just read “F*** me without any hesitations, I’m Pro-Choice”?
I couldn’t agree more.
Planned Parenthood. Helping would be parents shirk responsibility for decades.
Antiabortion Activist on Trial in D.C.:
I don’t agree with this guy’s methods but it does bring up an interesting question.
So anyway this anti-abortion protester by the name of Jeff White, was arrested at a demonstration for producing an actual human fetus inside a glass jar suspended in what the comPost calls a clear liquid, probably formaldehyde. What is interesting is that he was arrested for keeping and exposing a dead body or body part. This could set an interesting precedent. If a “fetus” is considered a dead body then wouldn’t that automatically make abortion murder. If it’s considered merely a body part then shouldn’t the pro-death crowd be fighting for his release? Especially since abortion rights advocates have said that a fetus is nothing more than a cluster of cells and is not a human being. Yep, just a clump of cells that have arms, legs, eyes, and can feel pain.

You know, I didn’t think yesterday’s entry about juvenile executions would garner so much discussion. And while I was doing some further investigation I came across a message board that I frequently lurk at where someone posed an interesting question that how come that for the most part how come anti-death penalty people are usually pro-abortion? That’s a great topic for discussion but I want to take it one step further. Since the Supreme Court ruled that juveniles can’t be executed shouldn’t that also outlaw abortion? I mean what is an abortion except the execution of the most juvenile of beings? Except the unborn children don’t have the luxury of a trial. Their only crime is being the product of irresponsible parents. Aren’t unborn children the “least culpable” of all beings? So what the “Supreme” Court is saying that the life of a violent criminal is more important than that of an unborn child. That’s just pathetic.
Observer forum: Letters to editor:
(Log in info) These are letters to the editor of the Charlotte Observer in response to Avis O. Gachet’s column about how men have no right to voice their opinion on abortion…
Abortion: This man isn’t holding his tongue
The writer is senior pastor, Uptown Christ Covenant Church. In response to “Men, keep quiet on abortion” (Jan. 28 Viewpoint):
No, Avis O. Gachet, I will not be quiet about abortions, even though I am a man. I will not be quiet about genocide in Sudan, even though I am a U.S. citizen. I will not be quiet about injustice to the poor, even though I am relatively well off. I will not be quiet about bigotry against blacks, even though I am white.
These are human issues, and as a human being, whether rich or poor, black or white, male or female, I have a stake and a say in all of them.
Tom Hawkes

Pastor Tom put it more succinctly than I did. It’s hard to argue with his point.
Flawed thinking works against sound idea
Although I share Avis O. Gachet’s belief that a woman should be able to choose to have an abortion, I was dismayed by the thrust of her seriously wrongheaded column.
Should we also insist that people who don’t own guns keep quiet about gun control? Should people not serving in the Armed Forces keep quiet about our military deployments? If you aren’t married, should you keep quiet about gay marriage? And if you don’t own an SUV….
I value the laws that protect women’s reproductive choices. But I also value the laws that protect everyone’s rights to form opinions and to express them.
David H. Roberson

While I don’t agree with his viewpoints on abortion again it’s hard to argue with his logic.
When men DO care, why stymie them?
For decades we’ve asked men to take a larger role in child-rearing (attending the delivery room as coaches, changing diapers, feeding, etc.), but now we should discourage them from even expressing their opinion on the crucial issue of abortion? When will we recognize we can’t have it both ways? If a woman chooses to have her child, the man is forced to pay child support, but should she choose to abort, he has no say so whatever.
Marjorie Carol Hall
Stanley
Read that last sentence again. That’s the best point I’ve seen yet. What it took me a couple hundred words to say Ms. Hall sums it up in one sentence.
Now let’s hear from the wingnuts…
Gachet gets it right: Butt out, everybody
I was thrilled to see Avis Gachet’s column. How can a man — who will never know what it is like to carry a child for nine months, to give birth, to nearly always be the primary caretaker — even be allowed to voice his opinion on the subject? It’s bad enough for other women to have such audacity!
Cindy Jorett
Charlotte
Yeesh. By that logic we shouldn’t tell anyone who wants to drink paint that it might be bad for them.
And finally…
Abortion column makes powerful case
Ms. Gachet’s beautifully reasoned argument for a woman’s right to choose was the most compelling statement on any side of the abortion issue we have seen in the Observer.

Notice the woman’s name is signed first. I really wonder if the husband had anything to do with this letter. If so I have two words for him. “Meow” and “wha-pow”.
