EVADING THE QUESTION

WHAT IS THE MORAL DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WHAT KERMIT GOSNELL DID AND WHAT TAKES PLACE IN A “LATE” ABORTION?

 By Dave Andrusko

 NRL News Today paid a great deal of attention last week to Texas’ HB 2, which among other important provisions would provide protection for unborn children who are capable of feeling pain, beginning at 20 weeks fetal age (equivalent to 22 “weeks of pregnancy”), the beginning of the sixth month.

I got behind and am only now returning to an important post written by the Weekly Standard’s John McCormack: “Cecile Richards Can’t Explain Difference Between Gosnell Killings and Elective Late-Term Abortions.” The two topics go hand in hand.

Richards, of course, is the president of PPFA and the daughter of Anne Richards, who was the pro-abortion governor of Texas before losing to pro-life George W. Bush in 1994.

The context for McCormack’s post was a small rally held last Thursday at the U.S. Capitol to lament pro-life legislation, including most specifically bills such as Texas HB 2, which has passed the Texas House and Senate, and the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act (H.R. 1797) which passed the United States House of Representatives last month.
