I don't reckon I'm against 'day after' abortion pills, and God knows, I'm not against birth control pills and condoms (aren't they the same thing?) if the promiscuous folks that use them buy their own..... BUT--
When a fetus becomes viable, becomes able to suffer pain, becomes a young human being and NOT just a piece of tissue.... then I have a problem.
A murder trial started Monday in Philadelphia in which an abortionist and his unlicensed assistant is accused of multiple murders:
"ABC, CBS, and NBC's morning and evening newscasts have yet to cover the
trial of Dr. Kermit Gosnell, which began on Monday. Gosnell is charged
with murdering seven babies who were born after viability in his rundown
abortion facility. The Big Three also gave the story minimal coverage
back in January 2011, after the Philadelphia physician was arrested.
ABC completely ignored it, CBS Evening News aired one full story, and
NBC gave just 50 words on Today.
Even the New York Times covered the trial in a Tuesday article, though it appeared on page A-17. Writer Jon Hurdle documented how Gosnell is charged with killing the babies by "plunging scissors into their necks and 'snipping' their spinal cords."
Partners, I ask you, if this story was about some crazed skin head, right wing, gun clinging, bible thumping member of the Tea Party -- killing seven young defenseless children -- just how much ink and air time do you think ABC, NBC, and ABC would give it. Do you think the NY Times would run it on page A-17?
Neither do I!! As my grandson would say: WTH? or maybe even WTF?
