Gosnell reporter notes inconsistency in abortion rhetoric
Having ended its first week, earlier chapters of the [abortionist Kermit Gosnell] trial were much more charged. Those included gruesome and revolting descriptions of dead babies – oh, excuse me, I mean fetuses, not babies, not even the one that was seven months along [gestational age depicted in image, right] who could have walked Gosnell to the bus, he reportedly joked.
It’s nice to have fun on the job.
Jurors nearly sobbed when they learned that Gosnell reportedly cut the spinal cords of dozens of fetuses and babies, which means the state believes at least some survived birth, allowing Gosnell to be charged with murder.
It’s amazing that what separates human from nonhuman, baby from fetus, is the thickness of the wall of the mother’s belly.
Uh-oh. This is heading where maybe it shouldn’t.

May God’s justice be done and may this man seek repentance for what he has done to so many innocent lives.
Hope they convict the moron and give him the death penalty
I will flip the switch …gotta have humor
And, at the same time, I saw yesterday on a link via “pewsitter.com” that another woman in China was subjected to a forced abortion in her 7th month…graphic photo included.

Yo Stu – in the Reich in the 1930’s and early 40’s it was a little yellow badge.
Why the uh-oh? – Are you okay with labeling human beings as non-humans for killing purposes too?
Chris, from the tone of his article, I don’t think he’s ok with it.
Kel – you’re right. I didn’t read the whole article before. Used to be able to tell when someone was being sarcastic, but lately it’s been getting harder and harder as people seem to seriously express the most bizarre ideas one could easily mistake as sarcasm.
“Hope they convict the moron and give him the death penalty”
I’m against the death penalty, but let’s just say that in some cases I’m less against it than in others.
…”people seem to seriously express the most bizarre ideas one could easily mistake as sarcasm.”
I resemble that remark.
“I’m against the death penalty, but let’s just say that in some cases I’m less against it than in others.”
I fully support capital punishment….as long as it’s not too severe.
Millstone anyone?
I have this moving image in my mind of Jesus cracking his hand braided whip and driving the den of thieves/brood of vipers from the temple of GOD [body of CHRIST] while the theme song from ‘Rawhide’ is playing in the background. [This idea could really take off in those ‘cowboy churches’.?]
Seated on a white horse, HE is crowned with many crowns,
He is clothed in whitest line dipped in blood,
HE leads a mighty army, dazzling white in robe and mount,
For in righteousness HE wages war as judge.
His eyes are flames of fire and a sword comes from HIS mouth,
HE will execute the wrath of GOD on high,
HE comes to strike the wicked who make war against HIS reign,
For HIS NAME is on HIS robe and on HIS thigh,
LORD of lords and KING of kings, HE is CONQEROR, HE is conquering.
The Prince of Peace is NOT a pacifist.

I do not always agree with Stu (I’m from Philly), but when we do agree, it is like we’re twins; like this story.
I’m also glad to notice that the newspaper placed Karnamaya’s name in the URL in the link in the OP.

Chris, it is harder to detect these days, largely, I think, because so many people are beginning to actually hold to beliefs that are perverse, which in a slightly older day everyone would heap scorn upon.
Also, as I recall (I may be wrong), Stu had family murdered by the Nazis, so no, he does like Kermit or what he was permitted to do for far too long,especially as it is predicated on the same lies.
I am against the death penalty in some cases as well. But in this case go for it!
Good pickup, Stu! An unborn child is no less human because it happens to be located inside his or her mother, with the outside world just inches away.
Because if that were the case, it would be okay to consider people who live in a different neighborhood less than human, and kill them. Yes, I know, we already do that. But not legally. Not yet, anyway. But if you follow the twisted logic of a culture of death to its’ “logical” conclusion, then anything goes…
I am against the death penalty but I struggle with this because murderers and sex offenders are too easily paroled and very often become repeat offenders. Ideally, I’d like to see someone like Gosnell given life in prison with hard labor, using whatever money he makes or saves making license plates or something to go to his victims and their families. That would both force him to make some restitution and also be the best hope for him to become repentant, though I don’t think that would mean he should be set free. Actions have consequences, or at least they should.
And I do understand we don’t live in an ideal world, and our criminal justice system and how it works is far from ideal. That’s why I struggle with it.
Actually I believe it’s a moot point because I find it very hard to believe he will get the death penalty or even get any kind of severe punishment. The abortion industry is under special protection status in our culture of death.
