Gosnell’s ‘House of Horrors’

March 18, 2015 By Scott Zipperle

Gosnell’s ‘House of Horrors’

 

Two years ago today, on March 18, 2013, the murder trial of Philadelphia abortionist Kermit Gosnell began.  Opening statements were given, in which the prosecutor, the Assistant District Attorney, called Gosnell’s operation a “house of horrors.”

>>> Who is Gosnell?

As a reminder, the Grand Jury Report, filed in 2011, opened with this statement:

This case is about a doctor who killed babies and endangered women.  What we mean is that he regularly and illegally delivered live, viable, babies in the third trimester of pregnancy – and then murdered these newborns by severing their spinal cords with scissors.  The medical practice by which he carried out this business was a filthy fraud in which he overdosed his patients with dangerous drugs, spread venereal disease among them with infected instruments, perforated their wombs and bowels – and, on at least two occasions, caused their deaths.  Over the years, many people came to know that something was going on here.  But no one put a stop to it.

Although, Gosnell went on to be convicted, the truth is that innocent preborn babies still die every day in abortion facilities across the country.

>>> Gosnell: Not An Isolated Incident

Filmmakers Ann and Phelim McAleer are in the process of making a movie about Gosnell and the media cover-up. You can support their historic crowd-funding effort to produce this important film.

>>> Making Gosnell A Household Name

The movie will be out in 2016, but in the meantime, please share the above image to remind the world that what happens in every abortion facility equates to a ‘house of horrors.’  Let’s never forget that until each one is out of business!

Down Syndrome Briefing: Every Life is a Gift

On October 23, 2015 we announced the 2015 March for Life theme: Every Life is a Gift. With this emphasis, we hope to shed light on the sad fact that a disproportionately large number of pre-born babies given a “poor prenatal diagnosis” are targeted for abortion.

Pro-Life For All: World Birth Defects Day

 

Today is the first ever World Birth Defects Day.  At the March for Life, we celebrate and honor children who are diagnosed with or born with differences!

IMG_0871

An estimated 8 million babies worldwide are born with a serious birth defect. The March for Life 2015 theme is “Every Life is a Gift,” with a special focus on preborn babies who are diagnosed in the womb with a fetal abnormality, or birth defect. Tragically, studies reveal that in the United States, approximately 85% of these special little ones are aborted. The national abortion average is approximately 20%. Any abortion is one too many, but these precious children are being eradicated through abortion.

Raising a child is not easy, and raising a child with a disability poses many unique challenges and additional costs.  However, life is inherently valuable and worth is not determined by what an individual contributes to society.  Furthermore, while there is still a long way to go, we have made great strides in protecting and improving the quality of life for individuals with birth defects or disabilities.

Our society and culture reflect the dangerous idea that life must be “perfect” to be worth living.  Tragically, many birth defects that can be corrected through surgery are viewed as reason to terminate the life of a child.  According to the London Telegraph, unborn babies with cleft palate or club feet are aborted up to the day of birth in Britain.

In 2012, 2,692 foetuses were aborted on the grounds that there was a “substantial risk” that the babies would be “seriously handicapped”. Of those, 160 took place after 24 weeks of gestation.

 

In a debate in Parliament, Mrs Ellison pointed to evidence that conditions such as a cleft lip and palate could be “an indicator of far more serious problems”.

 

However, she said: “Concerns have been expressed… that abortions are taking place for abnormalities that are rectifiable after birth.”

We must continue to spread the truth that every life is a gift.  And even more so, we need to take action to care for children with disabilities, and to provide parents expecting a baby with a birth defect with the resources they need.  For resources for families with children with disabilities, please click HERE.

Here is something you can do – we recently saw a preview of a documentary film called “The Drop Box Film,” about a Pastor in South Korea who rescues babies abandoned after birth, and we highly recommend you see it!  In a world that emphasizes the need to be perfect, the Drop Box Film gets to the heart of love, life, and the unique giftedness of every human being, and the story is a perfect embodiment of our 2015 March for Life theme, “Every Life is a Gift.” The Drop Box Film will be in movie theaters nationwide for a limited three-night engagement, March 3, 4, and 5.  Get your tickets today: TheDropBoxFilm.com.

March for Life Mourns the Passing of Pro-Life Champions

 

The March for Life mourns the passing of two pro-life champions, who went home to God this past weekend, Dr. Jack Willke, and Brother Paul O’Donnell.

JackandBarbaraWillke32Dr. Jack Willke, along with his wife, Barbara, traveled the world speaking about a culture of life and educating about the harms of abortion. Together, they built the basis for the pro-life movement that exists today. We are grateful to the legacy that Dr. Willke leaves behind, and will always look to him for inspiration. Read more about Dr. Willke’s work here.

Brother Paul O’Donnell, superior of the Franciscan Brothers of Peace, was deeply committed to building a culture of Life in America from conception to natural death. Brother Paul was at the forefront of the fight to save the life of Terry Schindler Schiavo, a founding member of Pro-Life Action Ministries, and an advocate for every life. Read more about the work of Brother Paul here.
