From here:
Abortionist Kermit Gosnell is facing the death penalty if he is convicted of the murders for which he is being tried in Philadelphia. Surely, the heinous acts of which he stands accused are depraved. They probably meet the criteria for capital punishment under Pennsylvania law. However, in the event that Gosnell is convicted, which seems likely, I am asking my fellow pro-lifers around the country to join me in requesting that his life be spared.
No.
Grand Jury’s Indictment:

Spared? The man is being charged with killing late term babies that were born viable, again and again in a most grotesque manner. Buried alive with the corpses of his victims while not a Christian thing to do sounds appropriate.
It might sound appropriate except for one thing. It would an insult and a further injury to the victims to have this person share a grave with them.
You left out the author’s reasoning:
But that is not the fundamental reason for our asking for Gosnell’s life to be spared.
Kermit Gosnell, like every human being, no matter how self-degraded, depraved, and sunk in wickedness, is our brother—a precious human being made in the very image and likeness of God. Our objective should not be his destruction, but the conversion of his heart. Is that impossible for a man who has corrupted his character so thoroughly by his unspeakably evil actions? If there is a God in heaven, then the answer to that question is “no.” There is no one who is beyond repentance and reform; there is no one beyond hope. We should give up on no one.
One of the things the Grand Jury’s Indictment says, to try to explain how it was such horrors went on for such a long time and involved such passivity on the part of people in positions of authority, is that the women being treated were poor and black. Why don’t they ask the converse as well: did Grosnell get away with it for such a long time because he was black? Did he manage to gain a medical license in the first place because he was black? Would a Caucasian or Asian doctor similarly have been able to commit medicare/prescription drug fraud on that scale in that neighbourhood for such a long time (dispensing prescriptions for painkillers with high street-resale value is what they did in the daytime; abortions were at night)? Is it because Grosnell is black no one ever followed up complaints properly or his clinic went without inspection for ten years.
Medicaid rather than Medicare, that should read.
I don’t know too much about US laws and politics, but didn’t Obama “strike down” (when first gaining office) the law that mandated saving the life of abortion survivors? If I’ve got that right, it means this person has not committed a crime in killing such babies (maybe it’s not the same in every state). Of course, morally, he has committed many vile, heinous crimes (as have all abortionist, and the politicians who have facilitated their actions). But in today’s world, law and morality are often very different things.
Just another media whore; they’ll say anything to get on the idiot-tube.
