The Grand Jury report quoted by Pro-Publica:
The grand jury report said that one look at the place would have detected the problems, but the Pennsylvania Department of Health hadn’t inspected the place since 1993. Here’s the grand jury report, in surprisingly strong language:
The Pennsylvania Department of Health abruptly decided, for political reasons, to stop inspecting abortion clinics at all. The politics in question were not anti-abortion, but pro. With the change of administration from Governor Casey to Governor Ridge, officials concluded that inspections would be “putting a barrier up to women” seeking abortions.
“Even nail salons in Pennsylvania are monitored more closely for client safety,” the report states. “Without regular inspections, providers like Gosnell continue to operate; unlawful and dangerous third-trimester abortions go undetected; and many women, especially poor women, suffer.”
To give you an idea of how bad it was – as many as 100 children born alive at this abortuary were murdered by using scissors to cut their spinal cords – late-term abortion in practice.
Over at Noonan for Nevada I call for the inspection of each abortion clinic in the United States and for Congressional hearings on this matter. It must be noted, with sadness, that it was a pro-choice Republican – Tom Ridge – who ended the practice of inspecting abortion clinics; because when it comes to protecting merchants of death, there is a bi-partisan consensus that the lives of women and children don’t matter.
This is what the Culture of Death is all about – you think that someone who makes his money off of murdering unborn children is going to be honorable or decent? Get real – and let’s get to the truth about this matter. And then let’s get rid of his hideous, anti-human practice.
