In 2011 Planned Parenthood received $542 million in tax dollars. Why am I having to pay for someone to have an abortion?? I personally feel this should fall under separation of church and state (not to be confused with separation of God and country) because my religious, moral, and ethical beliefs are that abortion is 100% wrong. So how is it right that the government gives me no choice in the matter of the murder of thousands of babies every year? Yes Planned Parenthood does other things than abortions but no one can say that none of the millions of dollars they receive every year doesn't go toward conducting these surgeries. If anything, that's what the majority of those millions of dollars are used for!
On the topic of abortion, it's been very undermined the past few months due to shootings, bombings, and explosions, but the trial of Kermit Gosnell is just as important as anything. If you haven't heard, Gosnell has been on trial for the murder of 7 babies whose abortions were botched (the babies were then born alive and he proceeded to 'abort' them) and the murder of a 41 year old woman whose abortion he was performing and died of an overdose. He is also responsible for countless severe injuries sustained by women who had abortions at his Philadelphia clinic. His clinic was staffed with undertrained personnel which almost certainly contributed to these injuries.
Yesterday the judge dismissed the deaths of 3 of those babies due to lack of evidence showing they were killed after being born alive, despite testimonies of Gosnell's former clinic workers. However, Gosnell is still on trial for the 4 other infant murders and the death of the 41 year old woman.
This is a HUGE story for the abortion world and I absolutely hate its been overshadowed by so many other things. Please take the time to read the articles on Gosnell. This could be a much needed huge hit to Planned Parenthood in the future.
((There are several articles about this case. Daily Caller articles can be found here and here. The Fox News article can be found here. Fair warning; the accounts of the murders are gruesome.))
