The National Abortion and Reproductive Rights Action League released a statement yesterday in the wake of the Gosnell convictions:
“Justice was served to Kermit Gosnell today and he will pay the price for the atrocities he committed.
We hope that the lessons of the trial do not fade with the verdict. Anti-choice politicians, and their unrelenting efforts to deny women access to safe and legal abortion care, will only drive more women to back-alley butchers like Kermit Gosnell.
“From the lack of funding available for low-income women to access abortion services, to the sharp decline of reputable providers in Pennsylvania, to the gross negligence of authorities to enforce the law after complaints were filed against Gosnell, each aspect of this case must be a teachable moment for lawmakers: until we reject the politicization of women's medical care and leave these decisions where they belong — between a woman and her family and her doctor — women will never be safe. The horrifying story of Kermit Gosnell is a peek into the world before Roe v. Wade made legal a woman's right to make her own choices.
“NARAL Pro-Choice America's annual Who Decides? publication has given Pennsylvania an ‘F’ grade precisely because it has passed medically unnecessary laws that restrict access to safe and legal abortion care. It is my sincere hope that the women in Gosnell's clinic did not suffer in vain and that Pennsylvania, and every state, will step up and join us in making the protection of women’s ability to get, safe, high quality, and legal abortion care a top priority.”
What's missing in the NARAL statement?
The fact that he was found guilty of the murder of 3 babies born alive.
Nowhere is this even acknowledged, NARAL instead focusing on the need for women to continue to safely and legally have their children killed in the womb... with "high quality".
Sickening... but revealing.
As sickening and revealing as Gosnell's attorney who blamed the baby factor for the jury's decision:
He said he was confident in the legal system but blamed “The baby factor” for the convictions.
He also blamed the media which is incredible in that they were AWOL pretty much throughout the trial.
There is evil in the world, let there be no doubt, and those involved in defending and promoting abortion are some of the biggest propagators.
God have mercy on their wickedness.
