Sen. Mike Lee introduced a resolution Monday that calls on federal,
state and local governments to investigate illegal abortion practices
and unsanitary conditions.
The Utah lawmaker is calling on the Senate to protect women and girls
from “abusive, unsanitary, and illegal abortion practices.” Lee also
condemned the deplorable practices uncovered at abortionist Kermit
Gosnell’s Philadelphia abortion center. Gosnell is charged with
murdering seven newborns and one pregnant woman.
“The facts of the Gosnell case are disturbing and heartbreaking,” Lee
said. “The lack of oversight at abortions facilities puts women’s lives
at risk and leads to the kind of unconscionable practices we have seen
recently.”
A 2011 Grand Jury report says Gosnell delivered “live, viable babies
in the third trimesters of pregnancy — then murdered these newborns by
severing their spinal cords with scissors.” It also documents that
Gosnell’s clinic “reeked of animal urine,” and that furniture and
blankets “were stained of blood.” Scattered throughout the center, “in
the basement, in a freezer, in jars and plastic jugs, were fetal
remains.”
