DEACON FOR LIFE

Were there to be no support in the whole history of ethical and moral thought, were there no acknowledged confirmation from medical science, were the history of legal opinion to the contrary, we would still have to conclude on the basis of God's Holy Word that the unborn child is a person in the sight of God. He is protected by the sanctity of life graciously given to each individual by the Creator, Who alone places His image upon man and grants them any right to life which they have.

Gosnell Worker: Toilets Backed Up With Body Parts From Abortions
Former abortion clinic worker James Johnson testified today during the murder trial of Kermit Gosnell and provided jurors with a nauseating account of the horrific conditions at the abortion facility.

Johnson worked as a janitor, maintenance man and plumber of sorts and he was the common-law husband of 51-year-old Elizabeth Hampton, who is herself Gosnell s wife s sister. He told jurors some of the morbid details that appear in the grand jury report including how he threatened to quit working at the abortion clinic because he refused to pull any more flesh from aborted babies out of the plumbing. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/04/16/gosnell-worker-toilets-backed-up-with-body-parts-from-abortions/

Family of Woman Gosnell Killed in Abortion Weeps at Murder Trial
The family of the woman Kermit Gosnell killed in a botched legal abortion testified today at his murder trial.

They were questioned about the death of 41-year-old Karnamaya Mongar, who is sometimes forgotten amid the national controversy that has erupted over Gosnell s abortion business. Mongar died November 20, 2009, after overdosing on anesthetics prescribed by the abortion practitioner. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/04/16/family-of-woman-gosnell-killed-in-abortion-weeps-at-murder-trial/

Aborted 28-Week Baby Gosnell Killed Found in Plastic Water Jug
During the murder trial of abortion practitioner Kermit Gosnell, jurors heard grisly tales about the bodies of the aborted babies he kept. But the most gruesome story may involve a 28-week baby Gosnell killed and kept.

Joseph Slobodzian, a staff writer for the Philadelphia Inquirer, has more on the story and how it set off a firestorm between prosecutors and Gosnell s lawyer. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/04/16/aborted-28-week-baby-gosnell-killed-found-in-plastic-water-jug/

Huffington Post: We Made a Decision Not to Cover the Gosnell Trial
The cat is finally out of the bag. A blogger for the liberal Huffington Post has finally admitted that liberal mainstream media outlets made a conscious decision to ignore the Kermit Gosnell abortion-murder trial.

In a HuffPost Live segment today on the issue, host Marc Lamont Hill admitted what many pro-life advocates have been thinking: http://www.lifenews.com/2013/04/16/huffington-post-we-made-a-decision-not-to-cover-the-gosnell-trial/

Obama Can t Comment on Gosnell, Because Obama Stands With Him
Although President Obama had no trouble commenting on the ongoing Trayvon Martin case, White House spokesperson Jay Carney said today Obama wouldn t be commenting on the Kermit Gosnell mass murder case because he cannot take a position on an ongoing trial or comment further on an ongoing legal proceeding

Of course the White House wants to avoid this topic. What a disaster Gosnell is for Obama. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/04/16/obama-cant-comment-on-gosnell-because-obama-stands-with-him/

Photos of Aborted Baby Remains Dominate Kermit Gosnell Murder Trial
The fifth week of Kermit Gosnell s capital murder trial resumed Monday with graphic testimony from Dr. Sam Gulino, Chief Medical Examiner for the City of Philadelphia, who discussed his examination of the remains of 47 fetuses seized by law enforcement authorities from his House of Horrors abortion clinic. Dr. Gulino testified that this case was unprecedented and he could not find a colleague who had ever dealt with a case involving frozen fetal remains of this nature.

For the first time, photos of Karnamaya Mongar s dead baby were shown to the jury. Mongar died from an overdose of Demerol during a second trimester abortion done by Gosnell. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/04/16/photos-of-aborted-baby-remains-dominate-kermit-gosnell-murder-trial/

Gosnell Trial Shows Abortion is the Deliberate Killing of a Baby
Last week, I wrote a column entitled Brutality in the Brave New World discussing an appalling movement within the scientific community in which researchers are exploring the therapeutic potential of the eggs of aborted baby girls. In a similar vein, a bioethicist writing for the Huffington Post in 2009 famously suggested that pregnant women wanting abortions be paid to remain pregnant longer so that their aborted babies yield more useful body parts. In the face of such moral depravity, the only conclusion to be drawn was that mankind has given itself over utterly to the appetites of ambition and avarice, and Heaven help those who find themselves the object of these appetites unchecked by moral standards. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/04/16/gosnell-trial-shows-abortion-is-the-deliberate-killing-of-a-baby/

Gosnell in 1972: I Do Abortions to Protect Sanctity of Human Life

ACLU Sues to Overturn Arkansas Law Banning Abortions at 12 Weeks
The ACLU has filed a lawsuit seeking to overturn the strongest pro-life law on the books in the nation. The measure bans abortion after 12 weeks of pregnancy, though it won t take effect until this summer and will probably be stopped in court now that the pro-abortion legal group has filed suit. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/04/16/aclu-sues-to-overturn-arkansas-law-banning-abortions-at-12-weeks/

Three Terms Pro-Lifers Should Avoid That De-Humanize Unborn Babies
I believe that language plays a huge role in the abortion debate. And while the terms pro-life and pro-choice have been analyzed to death (no pun intended) by countless authors, there are many words and phrases, used in everyday life, that affect our cause in more subtle ways. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/04/16/three-terms-pro-lifers-should-avoid-that-de-humanize-unborn-babies/
