Abortion: Why isn't this a national outrage?
My reactions to the actions of Kermit Gosnell are shocked and horrified. Kermit Gosnell taking the lives of seven babies is just horrific. Having an untrained staff perform abortions for some of the patients is absurd. I can not believe Kermit Gosnell let his untrained assistant perform abortions on the patients of other races while he took care of the white patients. I had only heard about this case in Catholic Social Teaching prior to our class discussions. Besides that, I would not have heard of the case because it has basically been hidden from the news. I think that this has not been a large, national story because abortion is such a touchy subject in today's society. Today, everyone has different opinions on abortion and it can be difficult for someone to voice their own opinion without getting condemned. I think because these horrible events occurred in the city, it was less vocal compared to if something like this occurred on the Main Line. It is sad to say, but I think events like this are more likely to occur in the city and are less recognized. If these events occurred on the Main Line, someone would report it immediately and it would be on the news because it would be something that does not commonly occur there.
