The abortion ghoul speaks February 27 2010
The Daily News article is worth quoting in full:
Kermit Gosnell, the doctor whose West Philadelphia abortion clinic was shut down this week as a “clear danger to the public,” made his first public comment on the matter Thursday night, telling Fox 29 News that he had provided good care to his patients.
“It’s been a very difficult time,” Gosnell said. “But I know I have done my best to provide the very best care to my patients.“I provide the same care I would want my daughter to receive,” he said.
The state Board of Medicine suspended Gosnell’s license on Monday, saying his clinic had “deplorable and unsanitary conditions” such as blood on the floor and fetuses in jars. The order also said an unlicensed employee gave prescription painkillers to patients, including one who developed a fatal arrhythmia in November after being given multiple doses.
Gosnell, 69, is being investigated by federal drug agents on suspicion of illegal distribution of prescription painkillers. He has not been charged.
In the interview, Gosnell – who has been sued 46 times since 1981, including 10 malpractice complaints – said he had not “seen any comment that a patient has been dissatisfied with the services I provide.”
He said he could not control “how people perceive” his “accomplishments.”
In 1972, Gosnell made headlines after he used an experimental abortion-inducing device similar to an IUD on 15 women, nine of whom developed serious complications.
In the TV interview, he acknowledged he had “lived through negative publicity before” and had to defend his skills and choices.
“If you’re not making mistakes, you’re not really attempting to do something,” he said.
If you are reading this with your mouth agape, you are not alone. The outrageousness of this man’s statements stand on their own, as he removes all doubt of his wanton disregard for all human life. That he has been allowed to continue pursuing these “accomplishments” for this many decades unabated only speaks volumes to society’s growing disregard for human life thanks to abortion on demand. As commenter “DiscoDave” points out here:
It’s a federal crime to tamper with the egg of an endangered bird. Why not afford this protection to humans in their early stages of development?
It’s because the birds are endangered, Dave. Intelligent and enlightened humans know that humans are a scourge: they are damaging the environment, enemy to Gaia and there are far too many of them. Those of them that do exist, however, are so very special that should have unlimited freedom not to be slaves to their own biology with the right to terminate their offspring at any time before birth. Do you see the consistency in this thinking?.
It’s also worth reiterating that the abhorrent conditions in this man’s office, coupled with the horrifying stories from his patients are only coming to light because of claims of phony prescription writing:
But it was not allegations of malpractice that led the FBI and Drug Enforcement Administration to raid the clinic on Feb. 18. At the time, a law-enforcement source said, the agents were there to investigate claims that Gosnell was writing phony prescriptions for painkillers.
This Daily News article also reveals that two of the “externs” listed at the practice were not even doctors. A comment on this article from the lone abortion supporter “phillygwm:”
Once Roe v Wade is overturned, this will be state of the art care.
I think what “phillygwm” and other abortion rights proponents must ask themselves is why, since Roe v. Wade is the law of the land, clinics like this one exist. Using the horror of Kermit Gosnell’s practice to reaffirm the viability of Roe v. Wade is decidedly not a good strategy.
