Is What Gosnell Did Really Bad?

Honestly, what is wrong with what Kermit Gosnell has done? This should be an open and shut case. Does the location of the baby when it is killed really make a difference as to whether it is murder or just an abortion? The morality of the action is the same whether the baby’s spine is cut in the womb or on the operating table. It makes no difference. The abortion is carried out because the baby is unwanted. In the Gosnell’s case, even though the baby is now on the other side of the birth canal, it is still unwanted. So, why is it wrong to terminate its life? As a matter of fact, why is it wrong to kill a 5 year old child when they are older if they become unwanted? What about an elderly lady who has become a burden to their family and no longer wanted? Does age and location matter? If not, why? This is the logic of the pro-choice position carried out to its logical conclusion. Amazingly, some of them are willing to be consistent and go this far (See video of Alisa LaPolt Snow, a Planned Parenthood lobbyist.) Most are not and I believe this is why the media is so unwilling to cover the Gosnell trial. (SNOPES had to put up a page ensuring people that is was not an Urban Legend but real) They do not want people to see the reality of abortion and the logical outworking of their position and possibly move more and more people to the pro-life position. Planned Parenthood tried to get Crisis Pregnancy Centers disqualified from using an ultrasound, supposedly because they were not qualified to use such a sophisticated machine. Why in the world would they do that? Wouldn't they want people see? Or could it be because they do not want people to see what they were actually having removed from the mother’s womb. It would demonstrate that it is not just a clump of tissue as they were told but a baby with fingers and toes. Fingers that would never have the opportunity to touch their mommy’s lips or point at the moon. Toes that would never get tickled or run into a daddy’s arms. (That was a tough sentence to type!)

I am certain, most of you reading this would not carry the position this far and know that it is wrong to kill an innocent human being. The fact is that human being are crated in the image of God and ALL are worthy of life. Being unwanted has nothing to do with the child but with the attitude of the mother. And the location of the child, whether in the womb or out, does not matter. Abortion is the dismembering of a child and is no different than what Gosnell is on trial for. If the pro-choice position is correct then Gosnell is innocent. If the pro-life position is correct Gosnell is a murderer and abortion is murder. If he is found guilty of murder then abortion is murder. I hope this case causes our country to wake up and fight for the right of the child in the womb and stop the legal killing of the innocent. Yes, what Gosnell did was bad. As a matter of fact it was evil. If you agree then you are pro-life or just inconsistently pro-choice.
