Evil

This is horrible:

[Dr. Kermit] Gosnell is charged in the drug overdose death of a 41-year-old patient and the deaths of seven babies allegedly born alive at his West Philadelphia clinic. The death-penalty trial began Monday and is expected to last about two months. He has pleaded not guilty.

[...] 

In graphic testimony this week, the jury heard from a former employee who admitted killing 10 babies and a woman hospitalized after a botched abortion when she was 17. Prosecutors allege the woman was about 30 weeks pregnant - well beyond the 24-week legal limit - and that her baby was born alive.

Mark Styen notes the seeming attempt by the AP, the news wire from which the story above came, and other MSM sources to, no doubt in an effort to remain "neutral," gloss over the actual events taking place at "Doctor" Gosnell's "clinic":

...the New York Times’ only story on the case is punctilious enough to refer to Gosnell’s victims as “viable fetuses,” and its early paragraphs emphasize the defense’s wearily predictable line that this is a “racist prosecution.”

This is great analysis:

...what about Sandy Hook? One solitary act of mass infanticide by a mentally-ill loner calls into question the constitutional right to guns, but a sustained conveyor belt of infanticide by an entire cadre of cold-blooded killers apparently has no implications for the constitutional right to abortion.

It's appalling to see how the MSM, together with the political class, has tried to shape the minds of Americans on abortion.  But luckily, Americans, in the face of these impediments, have been souring on abortion for quite a while.  What once looked inevitable in the late 70s now seems to be swinging the other direction.
