Star Parker: There is an alternative to the abortion culture

by: The Examiner

With the convictions in the case against abortion doctor Kermit Gosnell -- three counts of murdering live babies and one count of involuntary manslaughter -- abortion is back in the national discussion...Reports now are coming in from around the nation indicating that more Gosnells are out there. The abortion lobby claims that as long as we have tight regulations on abortion, a black market will exist...But it is ironic that those who call themselves "pro-choice" argue that the only alternatives facing low-income women are unsafe abortions done by sleazebags or government-subsidized abortions.

One of the things that has outraged people the most about the Gosnell situation is the fact that Pennsylvania state regulators allowed Gosnell to go on butchering women and children for years, ignoring complaints and skipping inspections with the blessing of pro-choice Republican governor Tom Ridge. But could the Gosnell atrocities really happen in Iowa without state officials stepping and putting a stop to it? Once again, the unfortunate answer to this question is yes, Iowa state officials would have no clue if these atrocities were happening within our own boarders.  more...
