If you don't know, don't feel bad...
Kermit Gosnell was a Philadelphia abortionist. About this time last year he was found guilty of murdering three babies born alive after abortion with a pair of scissors. He was acquitted in a fourth baby's death and found guilty of involuntary manslaughter in the overdose death of an adult patient.
According to a report at FOX news:
...former clinic employees testified that Gosnell routinely performed illegal late-term abortions past Pennsylvania's 24-week limit, that he delivered babies who were still moving, whimpering or breathing, and that he and his assistants "snipped" the newborns' spines, as he referred to it...
Authorities said the clinic was a foul-smelling "house of horrors" with bags and bottles of stored fetuses, including jars of severed feet, along with bloodstained furniture, dirty medical instruments, and cats roaming the premises.

It's was a big story that you probably didn't hear much, if anything about. Producer Phelim McAleer, who is planning to make a movie that examines the case, had this to say in an interview with the Heritage Foundation:
"They just find more interesting stories when a story puts abortion in a bad light. It comes too close to the moral choices they have made. And shines a spotlight on their opinions and beliefs. It asks too many awkward questions."The National Right to Life committee stated the obvious regarding the case:
“Kermit Gosnell was convicted of murder for severing the necks of just-born babies, but those babies would have died just as painfully if he had killed them inside the womb, as most late-term abortionists do," National Right to Life President Carol Tobias said. "The result is the same for the baby whether it meets its end in a shabby clinic like Gosnell's or a brand new Planned Parenthood facility -- a painful death."This one hit just a little to close to home for our mainstream media.
