Kermit the killer - Where's the outrage?

Imagine this scenario. 
Two women are killed as a result of actions at a clinic run by a killer-doctor but he is still allowed to continue in business?

Now know that this isn't some fictitious rambling.  This is reality.  Read on and read it all.

Two women died after being operated on by Dr Kermit Gosnell.  He received three consecutive life sentences.  Why three?  Well, it wasn't for contributing to the death of these two women.  No, it was for the killing of three newborn babies.

You see, Kermit is a child-killer.  He killed these three babies by snipping their spinal cord, at the neck.    Given that he performed around 16,000 abortions, the three murders, for which he was convicted, can surely only be seen as a grisly sample.

Consider the world of Kermit the killer - a world where feet are kept in jars, bones are found in drains and foetuses stored in freezers above refrigerators where workers keep their lunches.  A place where, to save money, Kermit the killer, employed unqualified staff.  Would you like an 'anaesthetist' that had not even finished high school, to be loading you up with that 'knock you out and send you to sleep, kind of you know, thing'?

So why no outrage?  Where are the 'women's groups' screaming about this abuse?  Where are the representatives of the African-American people, shouting and rallying about the monster that operated in their midst? 

It seems to me (a man, I admit and a Catholic, to boot) that the women's groups are mostly quiet because Kermit the killer, was an abortionist and therefore because they unequivocally support abortion as being a matter of 'choice' for a woman, he must be alright.  Okay, so some will mutter words about him being an exception etc., and then immediately call for federal and state funds to pay for abortions so that the poor do not have to suffer at the hands of people like Kermit the killer.  They will ignore the fact that he was performing very late term abortions.  Indeed, he has been described as 'the abortion doctor of the last resort' on the east coast of the US.  If you had difficulty making your 'choice' don't worry, old Kermit the killer would be on hand to help.  Hell, maybe he could even help you chose your wardrobe?  Or help you chose which shoes to wear for the 'prom' when you just can't make up your mind!

Kermit the killer was making $1.8M a year from his killing business.  Some would say that's a lot of money.  For Kermit the killer though, he wanted to keep as much of it as possible and so, rather than inject the foetus with a lethal dose of drugs, he induced labour and then killed the child.  Make no mistake, some, maybe many of these, were viable babies.  24, 26, 28 week children, maybe older, delivered and then killed.

 And what about African Americans?  They, after all were his main victims.  His 'clinic' was based in the city of Philadelphia - the so called city of brotherly love - in the poor West of the city.  Rodney King gets beaten-up by the LA police and riots ensue.  16,000 foetuses are killed by Kermit the killer, over 31 years - that's almost 2,000 a year, 40 a week or 5 or 6 a day, every day - and nothing.  No outrage, no burnt-out buildings, no storming of City Hall, nothing. 

And, as far as City Hall is concerned, it maybe deserved to be stormed.  Officials simply didn't bother carrying out inspections because if they did, there was a feeling that many of the facilities would fail and then there would be less killing factories and less access for abortions. 

When Kermit the killer's clinic was raided this is what the authorities found

"When the team members entered the clinic, they were appalled, describing it to the Grand Jury as 'filthy,' 'deplorable,' 'disgusting,' 'very unsanitary, very outdated, horrendous,' and 'by far, the worst' that these experienced investigators had ever encountered. There was blood on the floor. A stench of urine filled the air. A flea-infested cat was wandering through the facility, and there were cat feces on the stairs. Semi-conscious women scheduled for abortions were moaning in the waiting room or the recovery room, where they sat on dirty recliners covered with blood-stained blankets. All the women had been sedated by unlicensed staff – long before Gosnell arrived at the clinic – and staff members could not accurately state what medications or dosages they had administered to the waiting patients. Many of the medications in inventory were past their expiration dates… surgical procedure rooms were filthy and unsanitary… resembling 'a bad gas station restroom.' Instruments were not sterile. Equipment was rusty and outdated. Oxygen equipment was covered with dust, and had not been inspected. The same corroded suction tubing used for abortions was the only tubing available for oral airways if assistance for breathing was needed…"
[F]etal remains [were] haphazardly stored throughout the clinic– in bags, milk jugs, orange juice cartons, and even in cat-food containers... Gosnell admitted to Detective Wood that at least 10 to 20 percent... were probably older than 24 weeks [the legal limit]... In some instances, surgical incisions had been made at the base of the fetal skulls. The investigators found a row of jars containing just the severed feet of fetuses. In the basement, they discovered medical waste piled high. The intact 19-week fetus delivered by Mrs. Mongar three months earlier was in a freezer. In all, the remains of 45 fetuses were recovered ... at least two of them, and probably three, had been viable."
