Snapshot of a Culture of Death

Dr. Kermit Gosnell, who made millions as an abortionist, “induced labor, forced the live birth of viable babies in the sixth, seventh, eighth month of pregnancy and then killed those babies by cutting into the back of the neck with scissors and severing their spinal cord.” Nine employees were also charged. He kept body parts in jars for no apparent reason.

Yes, that sounds gross, but it's not far removed from a case here in Columbus where a father killed his 3 month old by dragging him on the street after he'd abused him. There's only 4 months difference between an 8th month fetus and a 3 month old baby. One is called abortion, the other murder. Both babies were helpless without adult protection. Neither can survive on his own.

At least they did charge Gosnell with murder. But I agree what he did and what the Columbus father were the same. At least the court saw it that way. What I don't understand is why a few inches (inside the womb vs. outside the womb) isn't seen the same way. Inside the womb it's abortion. Outside the womb it's murder. It all seems like semantics to me. And it all seems like murder to me to.
