The New Face Of Intolerance In America

She looks nice, doesn't she? Wait till you get to know her. She recently wrote a column for some newspaper (do we still have those?) which has stirred up a lot of fuss over nothing. It's nothing, really. Except this...lady...saw an opportunity to hitch her wagon to a star-making event, get her name in print, and maybe, just maybe get a job sometime down the road.
I guess opportunism is alive and well in America-and its name and face is Kirsten Powers, which I tell you so you can forget it.
This "journalist" took issue with the fact that the trial of a man accused of killing eight people wasn't getting the media coverage it deserved.
What, Kirsten? Do you know how many murder trials take place in America every day? Should they all make the front page? What if Selena Gomez wears a new hairstyle, huh? That should be shunted to page 16 for a murder trial?
The Doctor is Kermit Gosnell; the ones he is alleged to have murdered are a woman seeking an abortion and seven live fetus which had their necks 'snipped' after birth in a form of murder by decapitation.
He had run what is termed an "abortion clini...

Gosnell had run his medical clinic for 17 years, which was also running a prescription "pill mill"-scrips for cash, no exam needed.
He's only being charged with eight murders, but former workers at his clinic are telling a more horrible, inhumane story.
Why isn't his trial getting more coverage?
I think you know.

Actually CNN's Anderson Cooper ran a story on Gosnell: http://www.jillstanek.com/2013/04/pro-life-video-of-the-day-cnns-anderson-cooper-covers-gosnell/

Despite Anderson being a gay man, he's not a stereotypical "liberal". I find him very even-handed and fair in most of his reporting.

Hello James-your point doesn't deflect the point of the post-the story of Gosnell is being under reported, according to Kirsten Powers who is also a Liberal.
Let me put the question right to you-is she right? Do you think that the story is being under reported, and if so, why?

James said...

"Do you think that the story is being under reported"

Sure it is. My feeling is that people who are rigidly pro-choice to the point of supporting abortion during any phase of fetal development don't want to face the reality of what abortion is. This story would force them for face uncomfortable truths. Perhaps it's a good thing it's uncomfortable, no? If it wasn't, it would indicate that there's no conscience one could appeal to.

"that people who are rigidly pro-choice to the point of supporting abortion during any phase of fetal development don't want to face the reality of what abortion is."
Complete agreement, James. But I assume that you continue to vote such people into office and power is because...sorry, I'm drawing a blank. I have no idea who you would support politically. But my assumption is that you voted for President Obama and others in the past few years even though you may disagree with them on Abortion.
Not asking a question-just making a statement.

I didn't vote in the last election. I had too many problems with both candidates. Don't forget that Bush was in office for eight years, and I don't think there was a huge reduction in the actual number of abortions.

If a proposal comes to my state to place greater restrictions on abortion, I'd vote for it. Then you have the judiciary to contend with, much more so than any sitting President.

Again-that was a statement, not a question.
Cutting to the chase, by and large:
Liberals protect Abortion.
Conservatives oppose Abortion.
Kirsten Powers, a Liberal, asked the question Liberals didn't want to hear-why has there been so little media coverage of Gosnell's murder trial?
Is it because it is not a very important story? Or possibly because it hurts Liberals to see Abortion mentioned at all?
Liberals OWN Abortion. If not for their efforts to keep it legal, it would have been stricken from our laws just as Slavery was.
My long term view is that when Christ returns and put this world
right, there will be no Abortion, there will be no Liberals or Conservatives, but there will be Peace.
