An Ugly Business

The murder trial of an abortionist is underway in Philadelphia. The accused, a doctor named Kermit Gosnell, has enriched himself to the tune of millions of dollars over the years by reputedly making sure more than fifty thousand human infants never had the opportunity to enjoy the sunshine of day, but what this physician is on trial for is the spine-severing murder of several of those babies who were born alive and the death of a putative mother in his care. Regardless of how these charges are eventually adjudicated, any industry built by killing the innocent is purely evil.
