Philadelphia Horror update: Consequences

By Michelle Malkin  •  February 16, 2011 09:27 AM

The White House and the Democrat leadership in Washington may not care, but the people of the state of Pennsylvania — in both parties — have not turned a blind eye to the innocent victims of the Philadelphia Horror.

GOP Gov. Tom Corbett announced the firing of six state workers who aided and abetted the baby serial killing spree and the butchering of untold numbers of women’s lives:

Pennsylvania’s governor fired six state officials for failing to stop an abortion doctor now charged with murder. Governor Tom Corbett announced the firings today, in addition to three officials who had already resigned. Corbett also announced a shakeup at the two agencies cited in a grand jury report for ignoring complaints about Dr. Kermit Gosnell.

Even the NYTimes can’t look away:

“This doesn’t even rise to the level of government run amok,” Governor Corbett said in a statement. “It was government not running at all. To call this unacceptable doesn’t say enough. It’s despicable.”

Governor Corbett ordered the state’s abortion clinics to be inspected at least once a year and said clinics that fail to meet basic state health standards would be closed, at least temporarily.

Pennsylvania abortion clinics will also have unannounced inspections, including during evenings and weekends. The results will be posted online.

Governor Corbett said 11 state employees had been dismissed or resigned since the conditions at Dr. Gosnell’s clinic became public. The clinic’s practices had been the subject of numerous complaints for at least a decade before it was closed.

On a related note, the undermining of parental rights by Planned Parenthood that I highlighted last week continues to be exposed:

LifeSiteNews.com, Feb. 14, described the details of a recently obtained 2008 police report documenting the case of a pregnant teen who was held hostage by a staff member at a Kennewick, Washington, Planned Parenthood facility.
The unnamed 14-year-old, 22 weeks pregnant, was held by staffer Andrea Smasne at the facility against the wishes of her father and against police directives. Because the baby’s father was a 20-year-old under police investigation for sexual misconduct, the pregnancy was considered statutory rape, meaning her father was responsible for her.

But Smasne saw it differently. The staffer continued to refuse the father access to his daughter, claiming the girl was afraid of him, until Officer Wayne Meyer intervened. When he asked Smasne to release the girl, he was told she was “emancipated.”
Meyer said,

I then asked Smasne how old the patient was. She advised the female patient was 14 yoa. I then asked why they would tell the father he had to leave if his juvenile age daughter was there. At that point Smasne stated that once the juvenile is pregnant, the juvenile is emancipated, and further stated the father had no right to be present if the patient did not want him there.

He then contacted the City Attorney’s office to verify the emancipation question and was told “A Juvenile is not emancipated simply by becoming pregnant” and further, “becoming emancipated required a Court process.” The attorney also advised a criminal investigation of Planned Parenthood if such documentation couldn’t be provided.

Please don’t let up on the drive to de-fund the abortion predators.

The tipping point is here.

    The end of abortion in America cannot come soon enough.

    Please God, let it be true.

    De-fund the abortion predators now,
    elect a pro-life President and 2/3 majorities in both Houses of Congress in 2012,
    and pass a Human Life Amendment to be ratified by at least 38 of the 50 states.

    And in the mean time, while we wait for the amendment to be ratified, also pass a law that defines the start of life as the moment when a unique human DNA is established (at conception). Roe v. Wade left that door open for the Congress to define when life begins.

    Democrats always claim to be the party of the “little guy”… yet they have supported the murder of tens of millions of “little guys” and “little girls” for nearly 40 years.

    We must protect “the least of these” from murder.

    With regard to the last story referenced above (the one in Kennewick, WA) officer Meyer deserves kudos for handling the situation so well. He asked the right questions and followed through accordingly. Providing false information to a police officer has consequences and is usually prosecuted vigorously.

    One would think RICO and other organized crime laws could be brought to bear against them.

    The lives of babies are on the line.

    We could make the left care if, instead of human fetuses, the brutality was perpetrated against baby seals or cats and dogs. PETA would be all over those ‘abuses’, but unborn baby’s – Meh.

    We still need to “emancipate” the innocent babies who have been given no Right to Choose. We are their voices. They are crying out from mass graves. As soon as abortion was made “legal”, the corruption and abuses started. What did anyone expect? It is a nasty business and just wide open for all kinds of evil to take hold.

    I wonder how that goes…

    near full term babies surviving the killing procedure stuffed in cupboards? Check.
    This place is clean.

    Jail them all, prosecute them, convict them, then hang them in the open public square where the turkey vultures can feast on their carcasses.

    The other big problem with underage abortions is that the DNA to prove a crime is destroyed along with the baby.

    It IS despicable, but what I want to know is, WHY?

    Why did these 6 choose not to do their jobs?

    Is it in the Grand Jury report? I chose not to read it, but perhaps one of you who were brave enough to read it know if why these people chose not to do their jobs was investigated.

    Them not doing their job appears to me as if they were covering for him for someone. Who?

    Firing is too lenient for them. The ought to be prosecuted along with the monster who committed the crimes.
