"Kermit Gosnell Found Guilty: Both Sides Celebrate"

[$tevie]

For months, reading the pro-life and pro-choice coverage of the case side-by-side has been jarring enough to make a person seasick. It’s hard to believe one man could so embody two diametrically opposite things. This was never clearer than yesterday, when a Philadelphia jury found Gosnell guilty of three counts of first-degree murder, of three fetuses he failed to abort in utero and then killed with scissors, and one count of involuntary manslaughter, of a woman his unqualified staff killed with a sedative overdose. Immediately, the left and the right proclaimed verdicts of their own—in both cases, victory.

He was a murdering psychopath, it's not a case where anyone comes out ahead and since it's a criminal case folks ought to get, at minimum, a sense of completion.

He is an example of all that was wrong with the abortion 'provider' scene prior to Roe v. Wade. I can't understand why he's being used as an example by the anti-abortion groups. They simply don't understand the history.

It is a good example of how everything gets politicized these days. I think this really is about a very crafty serial killer, frankly.
