As abortionist Kermit Gosnell’s murder trial
is in the hands of the jury, abortion’s defenders are out in full force
to spin and deflect the attention this trial has garnered from abortion
in a broader sense.
Recently we wrote an On Faith column
explaining how the horror of the Gosnell trial exposed the truth about
abortion and the illogic of those who believe that what Gosnell is
accused of doing to those infants after they were born would be
perfectly acceptable if they were still in the womb.
The backlash from the pro-abortion side was swift. Numerous abortion supporters commented that Gosnell’s trial was about mere “medical malpractice,” not abortion or murder.
The fact is Gosnell is on trial for capital murder for the heinous
slaying of four newborn infants, born alive after botched abortions.
There is even testimony that 100 illegal late-term abortions were performed by Gosnell’s “House of Horrors” abortion clinic.
To call his actions mere “malpractice” is an insult to the newborns
he is accused of slaughtering and a brazen assertion that abortion
itself is the real victim. We believe that abortion rights activists
are reeling because abortion has been exposed for what it is: the taking
of innocent human life.
As a prominent liberal commentator
admitted, “I do think that those of us on the left have made a decision
not to cover this trial because we worry that it’ll compromise abortion
rights.”
