Gosnell Abortion Trial: "Pulling Back the Curtain on This Procedure"

Overthe last month, I (here), Rick Garnett (here), and others on Mirror of Justice have protested the news media's virtual black-out in covering the trial of abortionist Kermit Gosnell, accused of murdering newborn babies who survived late-term abortions, as well as causing the death of women in his fraudulent medical practice.

Shamed into introspection, more or less candidly acknowledged, the news media have begun covering the horrific trial in Philadelphia.  Now that attention finally is being paid, what will come of it?

Journalist Carl Cannon writes on realclearpolitics.com about "reproductive rights" as one of journalism's most "sacred cows," and then offers these thoughts on attention being drawn to the reality of abortion as a "procedure":

Gosnell’s actions pull back the curtain on this procedure and allow Americans to contemplate a disquieting prospect: that abortion itself is an inherently violent act, the grisly details of which remain hidden even from the patients in the operating room -- and that if those specifics were truly understood, public support for it would wane.

Let us so hope!  To read more from Mr. Cannon, see here.
