Let this be the beginning, rather than the end, of the consequences for all involved in Dr. Gosnell’s lengthy and ghastly career in crime.
Pennsylvania governor Tom Corbett has fired some state workers and suspended others in the wake of a far-reaching investigation of a West Philadelphia abortion clinic by a Philadelphia grand jury. …
Today, Gov. Corbett (right) announced that six additional individuals in the departments of state and health are no longer employed by the commonwealth, having either resigned or been fired.
The total fired, resigned or otherwise ousted so far appears to be around 11. More at the Hot Air link. Both this and the Planned Parenthood undercover video case have cast quite a glare on the abortion mill industry.
I hope firing is not the only penalty these morally reprehensible individuals will suffer. I also think it is critically important to ferret out any misbegotten politics as alleged by the culprits, I believe, to be the basis of their dereliction.
That said, unless folks want to claim pro-life ownership of abortion clinic bombers, I think it is grossly unfair to cast the Gosnell horrors as either business as usual or as an inevitable result of pro-choice policy. That is precisely the kind of inference which the grand jury, itself, took such pains to avoid. If that is, indeed, the assumption here though, I’d suggest that making abortion illegal might well lead to fewer abortions and more Gosnells.
