Kermit Gosnell Attorney Furious About Fox News Murder Trial Special
The defense attorney for abortion practitioner Kermit Gosnell is furious about the Fox News special that aired Friday and Sunday nights exposing the gruesome abortions and infanticides that took place at his abortion clinic.
Jack McMahon claims the special was designed to sway members of the jury, even though jurors have been instructed to not watch or read any media coverage of Gosnell and the murder trial. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/05/06/kermit-gosnell-attorney-furious-about-fox-news-murder-trial-special/
No Kermit Gosnell Murder Trial Jurors Saw Fox News Special
As jury deliberations continue this morning in the Kermit Gosnell murder trial, Judge Jefferey P. Minehart has called the jury into the courtroom to question them about the Fox News Special that ran over the weekend called See No Evil. According to sources inside the courtroom, Minehart intends to ask the jury if any of them saw the special.
Reports from the court now indicate none of the jurors saw the Fox News special so it appears that the issue will have no impact on the case. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/05/06/no-kermit-gosnell-murder-trial-jurors-saw-fox-news-special/
Obama Admin Gives Up Forcing Bible Publisher to Obey HHS Mandate
In a huge victory for pro-life advocates taking on the controversial HHS mandate, the Obama administration is giving up its effort to force a Bible publisher to obey it.
The mandate has generated massive opposition from pro-life groups because it forces employers, regardless of their religious or moral convictions, to provide insurance coverage for abortion-inducing drugs, sterilization, and contraception under threat of heavy penalties. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/05/06/obama-admin-gives-up-forcing-bible-publisher-to-obey-hhs-mandate/
Gosnell Got Snipping Idea From Partial-Birth Abortion Inventor
Abortion practitioner Kermit Gosnell has drawn national attention for his gruesome method of killing babies in an abortion-infanticide procedure that involves snipping their necks with medical scissors.
The idea of jabbing scissors into the back of necks of babies shortly after their forced induced birth sounds like something out of a creep science fiction film. The reality is, as one pro-life blogger has put together, the idea came from an Ohio abortion practitioner in a paper presented to the National Abortion Federation. In 1992, abortion practitioner Martin Haskell wrote a seminal paper presenting the new partial-birth abortion method, which has since been banned nationally and in dozens of states. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/05/06/gosnell-got-snipping-idea-from-partial-birth-abortion-inventor/
Congresswoman Slams Media For Still Ignoring Gosnell Murder Trial

Marsha Blackburn said on her Facebook page today in sharing the video of her Fox News appearance. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/05/06/congresswoman-slams-media-for-still-ignoring-gosnell-murder-trial/
Meet the Press: Three Times More Coverage of Jason Collins Than Gosnell
