So here's a question...

Philadelphia Abortion Doctor Charged With 8 Counts of Murder

Authorities went to investigate drug-related complaints at the clinic last year and stumbled on what Williams called a "house of horrors."

"There were bags and bottles holding aborted fetuses scattered throughout the building," Williams said. "There were jars, lining shelves, with severed feet that he kept for no medical purpose."

The clinic was shut down and Gosnell's medical license was suspended after the raid.

An abortion doctor who catered to minorities, immigrants and poor women was charged with eight counts of murder in the deaths of a patient and seven babies who were born alive and then killed with scissors, prosecutors said Wednesday.

Dr. Kermit Gosnell, 69, made millions of dollars over 30 years, performing as many illegal, late-term abortions as he could, prosecutors said. State regulators ignored complaints about him and failed to visit or inspect his clinic since 1993.

Horrific. Disturbing. Shocking. Tragic. Yet besides the abnoral way (as perhaps opposed to the "procedures" typically used in other abortion clinics) the dead children were killed and discarded, what is really that different than what goes on legally thousands of times a day in thousands of legal abortion clinics throughout our country (not to mention those worldwide). With no intention to be condescending towards anyone, this begs a simple question: does any sane person within the age of reason in our society (or elsewhere) really believe there's any difference between brutally murdering an innocent child from inside the womb compared to outside? Do people honestly think that a child who is at one moment inside his/her mother somehow is less of a living human person than after he/she passes through the birth canal? If this question sounds brutal and extreme, it's because the practice and culture of abortion is grisly, brutal and extreme. If one embraces "choice" and wants to protect the "individual right to choose," they should be bold and protect the choices, personhood and humanity of all persons, most definitely including the vulnerable little men and women who are being brutally murdered everyday through abortion. It doesn't matter at what stage a person's life is in, it is fully human and fully worthy of our respect, protection and compassion.

The same as above goes for all the countless women and men, mothers and fathers, grandparents and extended family, all who are gravely wounded physically, emotionally and psychologically by abortion every day. This horrifying, tragic story should open our eyes to the reality of abortion: it's not a simple, hidden medical procedure done behind closed doors, it is in fact a brutal murder of at least one (sometimes more) human person.

The story of this abortion doctor who clearly sought out minority patients and made "millions" by doing so should horrify us all. Not only the way he killed children and their mothers, but the fact that he (and so many others in clinics everywhere) are legally allowed to do so under current legislation should shock and alarm all of us. Yet, instead of being horrific, abortion has become accepted as a quiet and necessary procedure in our culture. Is it really? Is it necessary that approximately 46 million little men and women worldwide are killed every year by the various abortion procedures? Not to mention the equally valuable lives of women killed by "botched" procedures and the many women, men and families wounded by abortion.

We must open our eyes to the reality of what is going on right in front of us. Clearly Dr. Gosnell's practice was inexcusable, and arguably evil. We must ask ourselves, if Dr. Gosnell's practice was horrific, what about all the others? Is it acceptable for children and women to be killed and wounded if an abortion clinic follows "acceptable standards of procedure?" The result is the same: death. It is my hope that we all will ask ourselves these simple questions, and see the truth of abortion.

Be bold, be informed, choose life.
