   He thinks babies are just fetus tissue to be thrown in the garbage can. He will not have nightmares.

   The nightmare is the collection of laws designed to drive poor women to people like him.

   He did not perform his services for free, and I doubt that legitimate abortion clinics murder possible viable children.

   Cluck, you live in the same world as Gosnell. Imagining that legal and free abortions don’t exist and you by commenting and he killing living babies outside the womb are somehow providing a service.

   Kermit Gosnell was only doing what Barack Obama tried to do in Illinois.

   Accused. Tried. Convicted to first degree murder.

   
   Front page coverage in the popstream media.

   
   Maybe now we can move on with our lives until the next scandal.

   
   “DING DONG.”

   
   Oh … got to go, I think there’s another scandal at the door.

   Ms. Ima, I’ve seen your conservative posts before, and I wouldn’t be surprised if you oppose safe, legal abortions.
   In such a world where abortion is illegal, people like Gosnell would thrive in the back alleys, but in today’s Pennsylvania where abortion is legal, his services should have never been necessary.

   Abortion needs to be legal, safe and rare. And, as long as the bible thumpers continue to obstruct decent health care, including contraceptive services, to poor women we will have unnecessary abortions.

   The same people making an issue of abortion are the same ones creating this problem; the Republicans just use the moral flailings of those people to get more votes by lying to their base. What kind of nonsense will they add to their platform if abortion is re-criminalized? Make it illegal to have premarital sex? “The Handmaids Tale” comes to mind.

   Nothing you posted has anything to do with what Kermit Gosnell did nor were all of his customers poor. He had a sliding scale (?) for the fees he charged for the crimes he committed.

    This is why Planned Parenthood is so important to keep properly funded, to ensure women have a safe place for abortions. Only corrupt morons want to close down Planned Parenthood.

    Right that woman who died on Kerrmies table got great care. And the children the best deaths in town.

    I think it did, if indirectly. The root cause of the overarching problem is rightwing obstructionism for people based policy making. As long as the republican party kowtows to the religious right, the opportunities for murderers to benefit from control weaknesses within the legal abortion system are greater than they would otherwise be. Even the need for abortion would be reduced.

    Seriously? From wiki:In 2009, Planned Parenthood provided

    4,009,549 contraceptive services (35% of total),

    3,955,926 sexually transmitted disease services (35% of total),

    1,830,811 cancer related services (16% of total),

    1,178,369 pregnancy/prenatal/midlife services (10% of total),

    332,278 abortion services (3% of total), and

    76,977 other services (1% of total),

    for a total of 11,383,900 services.The organization also said its doctors and nurses annually conduct 1 million screenings for cervical cancer and 830,000 breast exams.

    Silly cartoon. Kermit Gosnell has NO CONSCIENCE. None whatsoever. The idea that what he did will somehow bother him is ridiculous.

    However, there is a chance that in the justice of God, perhaps hell will be filled with the faces of babies killed by abortionists. As such, that would be fitting justice, since all pretense and lies stop in eternity.

    And filled with the poor and innocent children killed by callous conservative politicians. The GOP is voting again — for the 37th time! To repeal Obamacare, as though there’s nothing else worth doing in congress. Thank goodness it will never pass the senate, it would be a death sentence for tens of thousands of children.
