Philadelphia Horror fallout: Investigating more potential Dr. Deaths

I reminded you last week that accused Philadelphia Horror baby butcher Kermit Gosnell was far from alone.

The latest on the government-enabled mass murder that the White House doesn’t want to talk about:

*Democrat Delaware AG Beau Biden has launched a “wide-ranging” investigation of Gosnell to see if he broke any state laws or regulations when he was working at the Atlantic Women’s Medical Services clinic in Wilmington.

*Pro-life groups have called attention to two other medical professionals who worked with Gosnell in Delaware — Atlantic Women’s Medical Services clinic director Leroy Brinkley and of Dr. Arturo Apolinario, a doctor whose controlled substance license lapsed in 2009.

*The National Abortion Federation has belatedly suspended the Delaware clinic’s membership.

*In Pennsylvania, Johnny-come-lately officials propose new abortion clinic safety* measures.

*In Delaware, abortion clinic oversight is still AWOL:

Delaware regulators cannot say if Atlantic Women’s Medical Center — where Gosnell worked one day a week for a number of years — suffers from similar health and safety deficiencies because abortion providers are not subject to the kind of routine sanitary and safety inspections that restaurants, beauty salons and tattoo parlors get.

Abortion clinics do not fall under the definition of medical facilities in the state that require routine inspections, like free-standing surgery centers, according to the Delaware Division of Public Health.

The state’s Division of Professional Regulation, meanwhile, only investigates complaints against doctors, “not facilities,” said Division Director James Collins.

Mark A. Meister Sr., executive director of the Medical Society of Delaware, said he did not know of any agency in the state that regulates abortion clinics or similar medical clinic facilities in Delaware, which he conceeded was “hard to believe.”

“You are asking an excellent question,” he said. “The answer may be at this point in time there is no regulatory authority over a clinic or organization like that.”

    Doesn’t that go against the Federation’s “Prime Directive”?

    Condaleeza Rice once said “Slavery was a black mark on American history”. I agree. But now I think abortion will be our undoing as a civilized nation if good people continue to ignore it.

    IF he broke any laws?? How about God’s law? There will be hell to pay!

    Other good reasons for our undoing is invasion by illegal, often hostile, aliens and the ascension of the GLBT community to favored nation-within-a-nation status.

    Hangfire, you silly wabbit, don’t you know that the illegal invasion is being encouraged precisely to offset the aborted babies. Kill two birds with one stone. You satisfy the bloodlust of the aborts plus you repopulate with aliens who will vote Democrat and rebuilt the tax rolls. A sweet setup. But you must get amnesty to seal the deal, and make everything nice and legal. An added benefit is that you also dilute the WASP population.

    That paragraph absolutely blows me away.

    I thought that the whole purpose of creating a federal constitutional “right” to abortion was to make sure that, because the procedure is now all legal-like, it could come out of the back alleys and butcher-shops and be better-regulated for health and safety.

    Silly me. Turns out that the real reason seems to be so that nobody at any level of government needs to concern themselves with any kind of regulation at all.

    Speech rights are more closely scrutinized than abortion rights, it seems. Somebody tell me that I’m not living in bizarro-world.

    That’s got to be a better kick-back racket than food health inspector or liquor commission.

    Here in Hawaii, the Liquor Commissioner and inspectors all move to Bel-Air when they retire.

    No controlling legal authority, eh?

    Remember, we need to regulate a “balance” on talk radio and the Internet, “control” guns (to limit ownership to government and people with political pull, e.g. perhaps Jared Loughner’s mother), and be required to buy abortion-funding insurance and Obama-worshipping newspapers.

    But check to see if a medical clinic is routinely harming patients in the process of routinely killing “clumps of cells”? No way would we need to do that.

    I’d like to see some state gov’t heads roll over this, but it won’t happen. They’ll pull out the Nuremberg defense; they were not told to inspect them. Their bosses will claim that they would have gotten sued by NOW and the ACLU if they tried to regulate clean facilities.

    Of course, there is one way to make sure this problem is solved. Abolish abortion! And if I hear some femi-nazi say something about back alley abortions we can throw this story right back in their faces.

    Most decent people regard Hitler’s murder of 6 million innocent Jews in the Holocaust as a horrible crime.

    But they ignore the 40 million innocent U.S. babies murdered by abortionists for the convenience of uncaring women. Sooner or later God will finally tire of this and will send Sodom and Gomorrah type punishment on the U.S.A. He has lots of patience–but it isn’t infinite.

    I’ve seen my share of comparisons between monsters like the ones depicted above and the Nazis who killed millions of Jews and other “undesirables” and “subhumans,” but there is one key difference–Nazis had a built-in excuse for their actions: “I was just following orders.” Monsters like Kermit Gosnell performed their hideous deeds for mere profit and greed.

    The mind-set that human life has no value, apart from what you can get from it is the same. The Nazi and the abortion “doctor” act the same in their callous disregard for life in their pitiless destruction of human life; however, in most cases, the Nazi was assigned his task, while the abortion “doctor” freely chose the path of destruction. In that case, I believe the abortionist is far worse than the “SS man” who was ordered to herd people from cattle cars into the gas chambers.

    The thought of abortion disgusts me. I percive this to be a barbaric and irreversible act leaving lifetime scars on the mother, perhaps the father, and society. However, over the past few years, I have come to the conclusion that women who agree to abortion are themselves so defective in character, that their offspring are likely to be as undesirable as they are. So go to it. As gruesome and inhumane as this practice is, I only hope a few of the mothers suffer forever with their decision.

    Begin any place and any time you can, it is never too late to attempt to turn back evil.

    Whether or not you succeed is not important, just try and, to borrow from Churchill, “Never, never, never give up.”
