It’s Friday, April 12th, 2013…and here’s The Gouge!<\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s been a long week, and we’re frankly a bit frazzled.\u00a0 So we’re going to limit today’s installment to two stellar columns from Commentary Magazine<\/em> we feel epitomize not only the true nature of the Enemy…<\/strong><\/p>\n

…and his minions…<\/strong><\/p>\n

…but the reality of their ultimate goals.<\/strong><\/p>\n

First, Peter Wehner describes in detail…graphic<\/em><\/span> detail…

The Lethal Logic Behind the Abortion Rights Movement<\/span><\/h1>\n

And the abortion lobby’s greatest fear remains exposure of their true agenda.<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Kirsten Powers wrote a powerful piece<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0in\u00a0USA Today<\/i>\u00a0on the\u00a0murder trial of Pennsylvania abortion doctor Kermit Gosnell. (The 72-year-old Gosnell is charged with killing a woman patient and seven babies.)<\/p>\n

By all accounts Gosnell was a butcher of newborn, or about to be born, babies.<\/span> The specifics are gruesome but probably necessary to comprehend the level of depravity we\u2019re talking about<\/em><\/span>.<\/span><\/strong><\/span> So here we go.<\/p>\n

This\u00a0account comes to us courtesy of\u00a0delawareonline.com\u00a0(h\/t Allahpundit):<\/p>\n

<\/span>A Delaware woman who worked for Kermit Gosnell testified Tuesday that she was called back to a room at his abortion clinic in Philadelphia where the bodies of aborted babies were kept on a shelf to hear one screaming amid the bodies of aborted babies kept on a shelf\u2026.<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t describe it. It sounded like a little alien,\u201d [Sherry] West said, telling the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas judge and jury that the body of the child was about 18 to 24 inches long and was one of the largest babies she had seen delivered during abortion procedures at the Women\u2019s Medical Society clinic\u2026.<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

West, who said she called aborted babies \u201cspecimens\u201d because \u201cit was easier to deal with mentally,\u201d said a co-worker had called her back to the room that night because she did not know what to do. West said the baby\u2019s eyes and mouth were not yet completely formed and it was lying on a glass tray on a shelf and she told the co-worker to call Gosnell and fled the room.<\/em><\/p>\n

She later made it clear that she called it \u201ca baby\u201d in her testimony \u201cbecause that is what it is.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

And this\u00a0from NBC Philadelphia:<\/p>\n

\n

An unlicensed medical school graduate delivered graphic testimony about the chaos at a Philadelphia clinic where he helped perform late-term abortions.<\/em><\/p>\n

Stephen Massof described how he snipped the spinal cords of babies, calling it, \u201cliterally a beheading.<\/strong><\/span> It is separating the brain from the body.\u201d He testified that at times, when women were given medicine to speed up their deliveries, \u201cit would rain fetuses. Fetuses and blood all over the place.\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

About all this I wanted to make several points, the first of which is that this is the kind of brutality many people in the pro-life movement warned was at the end of the lethal logic behind the abortion rights movement.<\/strong><\/span> If we accept\u2013and in some quarters, celebrate\u2013abortion as a modern emancipation, you end up with people like Kermit Gosnell, who view an unborn child that has been targeted for abortion as marked for death even after birth.<\/span> <\/strong>And before you dismiss Gosnell\u2019s views as rare among those who champion abortion rights, consider the views of representatives of Planned Parenthood, an organization which (a) receives $500 million in government subsidies and (b) is the most conspicuous abortion rights group in America.<\/p>\n
