  • Media Silence and Mass Murder!

    If it was a trial concerning a school shooting and children were slain, the media would be chugging along at full speed. But it is a trial concerning the deaths of babies born alive and then murdered by a Black abortionist.

    Mass Murder Trial of the Century:
    Media Blackout in Full Effect

    There is a lot of discussion here at IJReview and at other blogs about the bias of the mainstream press. There are many examples that can be given of particular media spin on important public issues. There are many arguments to be made for and against media bias, but the latest act of willful ignorance on the part of the MSM is perhaps one of the most vivid examples of bias to date.

    Dr. Kermit Gosnell


    The murder trial of Philadelphia abortionist Dr. Kermit Gosnell has all the elements of a sensational media story: medical malpractice, fraud, greed and murder. The difference in this case as opposed to, say the O.J. Simpson trial? Babies. Gosnell is on trial not only for the negligent murder of a young woman who died from her abortion procedure in his clinic, he is on trial for deliberately killing babies who survived the abortion process and were born alive.

    Ex-clinic worker Lynda Williams testified Tuesday in the case. From Philly.com:

    One of her duties, Williams said, was to clean up and dispose of fetuses women sometimes spontaneously aborted in the waiting room after getting large doses of drugs to dilate the cervix.

    One day, Williams testified, a woman expelled a fetus into the toilet and she saw its arm moving. Williams said she took a pair of scissors and snipped the spine as Gosnell showed her.

    “I did it once and I didn’t do it again because it gave me the creeps,” Williams said.

    Gosnell’s clinic has been described as a “house of horrors”. Former employees describe botched abortions performed on women well past the Pennsylvania state maximum of 24 weeks. Adrienne Moton worked at Gosnell’s clinic in West Philadelphia and described one baby – Baby Boy A- as so large she actually took a photo with her cell phone. The baby was aborted at 7.5 months gestation.

    “I just saw a big baby boy. He had that color, that color that a baby has,” Moton said in court. “I just felt he could have had a chance. … He could have been born any day.”

    Staffers, including Gosnell did not offer babies medical care after being born alive following botched abortions. Instead they routinely snipped the spinal chord at the neck, inducing instant death – although testimony from staffers disputes the “instant death” part. Staffer Ashely Baldwin recalled hearing a baby cry after being born alive and witnessing Gosnell snip the spinal chord and say there was “nothing to worry about”. Gosnell even joked that one “snipped” infant was “… big enough to walk around with me or walk me to the bus stop!”

    Testimony of this sort goes on and on. There are repeated stories of patient neglect, babies born alive and then killed and even the defrauding/overcharging of patients. Gosnell is on trial for the murder of seven live infants. Seven!

    Regardless of your stance on abortion, this is one of the most sensational and disturbing stories of the last 50 years, at least. You can talk all you want about “intentions” and “viability” but when a baby breathes outside the mother and is then stabbed in the head, that’s murder. Abortion advocates should be every bit as concerned as pro-lifers. More so, because this type of crime damages the arguments of the pro-abortion lobby and bolsters the pro-life view that allowing abortion at any stage is a slippery slope.

    The mainstream media’s outright blackout on this case is disgusting, disturbing and downright treasonous. This is a story that deserves to be told – for the young woman who lost her life on Gosnell’s table, the countless other women who were wounded during procedures, and the babies who defied the odds and survived their abortion only to basically be beheaded by medical professionals who have taken oaths to heal and treat the sick and wounded.

    Think the term “beheaded” is too dramatic? Co-defendant Steve Massof “interned” with Gosnell. He was never officially licensed but performed first trimester abortions and later moved on to what he called “second tris”. Massof testified he witnessed over 100 babies born alive and then snipped. He called it “literally a beheading. It is separating the brain from the body”.

    Americans have a right to know about the trial of this mass murderer. His murderous spree is comparable to the Sandyhook or Colorado theater shootings. It should inspire equal outrage and disgust. The media’s refusal to cover this story is further proof that they are no longer simply conduits of information but literally the deciders of the news cycle; of what is worth our time and what isn’t. I suspect the current crop of MSM talking heads are leery of giving the pro-life crowd any ammunition. However, their self-imposed “blackout” on the Gosnell case may end up being an even bigger boost to those who advocate for the sanctity of human life.
