Should Dr. Kermit Gosnell Have Gotten the Death Penalty?

The Philadelphia doctor was found guilty of murdering three babies after botched late-term abortions and was given life in prison Tuesday.

A Philadelphia doctor found guilty of murdering three babies born alive in an abortion clinic serving low-income women agreed to two life sentences Tuesday, and was sentenced to a third Wednesday. Dr. Kermit Gosnell, 72, agreed to his sentences and waived his right to an appeal in order to avoid the possibility of being condemned to death. According to ABC News, prosecutors were seeking the death penalty, but because of Gosnell's advanced age it was deemed unlikely that he would live long enough for death penalty appeals which can last decades. According to Reuters, Gosnell was convicted of first-degree murder Monday after he reportedly delivered the live babies during late-term abortions and then deliberately severed their spinal cords. …

Teabaggers? Seriously? I realize you are acting only on your provided talking points but the tea party only wants to NOT use tax dollars to fund your abortions. They are hardly your biggest concern. Besides getting an actualy education, your biggest concern are with the christians.   more ›

POLL: Was Susan G. Komen Right?

Many Southwest athletes raise money for this and other causes.

You may have already heard that Susan G. Komen For The Cure, the nation's largest breast cancer foundation, ended its decades-long breast cancer screening partnership with Planned Parenthood recently, under pressure from anti-abortion groups and worries about federal investigations. As the New York Times puts it: (Komen board member John D.) Raffaelli said that Komen had become increasingly worried that an investigation of Planned Parenthood by Representative Cliff Stearns, Republican of Florida, would damage Komen’s credibility with donors.  Komen gave Planned Parenthood $700,000 last year — a tiny portion of its $93 million in grants — to finance 19 separate programs. A growing number of religious organizations had become concerned that …

Come on, folks. So many of you do these kinds of atletic fundraisers that it's impossible to walk around Lake Harriet in the summer. So what would you do if your favorite charity made a move that you, politically, found objectionable? Would it matter to you?   more ›

(VIDEO) Ellison Challenger Introduces Graphic Anti-Abortion Ad

The ad shows images of aborted babies.

(WARNING: The video above contains graphic images.) *** Fifth District DFL challenger Gary Boisclair is back with another graphic ad—this time targeting Rep. Keith Ellison’s (D-MN) views on abortion. Boisclair is running in the DFL primary on a traditionally conservative platform. Some accuse him of launching the primary to exploit a loophole that allows the airing of graphic anti-abortion ads. Boisclair, himself, concedes “that’s one of the one of the sub-goals of the mission.” Ironically, the ad begins with Boisclair saying, “This is beautiful, beautiful beyond words,” as photos of mothers and babies flash onto the screen. The ad then segues to photos of aborted babies. “This is ugly, ugly beyond description,” he says. “Who would do this…

If pictures of the Holocaust were shown during WWII, what would you have thought about it then? Do you think the films might have been motivational? How can the deceitful claim that a child's murder is prescriptive for a woman's health be allowed to continue, except when the facts are hidden? If the film makes you sick, do something about it. Stop funding abortions. Remove politicians who support…   more ›

(VIDEO) Ellison Foe Releases Graphic Anti-Islam Ad

Gary Boisclair doesn't expect it to air until 45 days before the primary.

(Editor's note: The video can be viewed by clicking on the link below the photo of Gary Boisclair. WARNING: It contains graphic images.) (UPDATED: 4:32 p.m. Nov. 2) DFL challenger Gary Boisclair’s first ad against 5th District Rep. Keith Ellison shows graphic images of murdered non-Muslims and slams Ellison for swearing an oath on the Koran, which Boisclair argues promotes violence against Christians and Jews. The ad has not yet run on television, but Boisclair told Patch he plans to air it “once my coffers get filled.” Ellison was sworn in to the House during an official ceremony conducted with all new members—the en masse oath of office that takes place on the House floor, noted Jennifer Gore, an Ellison spokeswoman. Ellison used a copy …
