Separated at Birth: Dr. Kermit Gosnell and..?

Dr. Kermit Gosnell and...

Dr. Josef Mengele

I usually find Nazi comparisons tiresome and OTT, but in this case it is warranted. The media is ignoring this story, despite the horrific accounts coming out in the trial of Kermit Gosnell.  The clinic was unsafe and unclean, women ended up being put at severe risk, his staff was underaged and untrained, and it was both exploitive and racist.  Most of the media is ignoring this story.  I recognize people are pro choice, but late term abortions are infanticide (certainly in the manner Kermit Gosnell is reported to have done it).

I would like to see elective late term abortions banned (and third trimester abortions can be banned under Roe v. Wade), but the rare cases where the life of the mother is in danger by a pregnancy, the place for a late term abortion is in a hospital. Why wasn't Kermit Gosnell's unsafe and dangerous clinic shut down far earlier?  Why are pro choice apologists like Amanda Marcotte not speaking out for the women whose lives were put in danger by Kermit Gosnell?

Update:
More from Dan Collins/Conservative Commune
Professor Bainbridge
Charles Johnson supports the vicious baby killer?
Plenty of media seats at the Gosnell trial...
Elizabeth Scalia on Gosnell back in 2011...
More from Elizabeth Scalia...
Where were conservatives previously over Gosnell? (right here too)

Gosnell's "clinic" (I prefer Jonah Goldberg's term, "abattoir," for accuracy's sake) opened in the late '80s, such "inspections" as were conducted failed to cite his violations (even those noted), and he wasn't inspected after the mid-'90s, AT ALL). We may never know the total number of babies he murdered after they were born alive.

Some are calling him another Josef Mengale. I don't think they are the same - although both will certainly burn at the same temperature in hell - because for all his evil, Mengale appears closer to insane. He performed ghastly experiments on living people, and children, but he kept detailed notes as if he thought he was doing some sort of scientific research. Not crazy enough to avoid the gallows, but there were some synapses shorting out somewhere.

Gosnell killed for money. He is surely the highest-paid serial killer of all time, some of the mob hit men may have been paid more per hit but Gosnell kept a full schedule at his abattoir, seldom even pausing long enough to clean the room.

He cut off babies' heads for money. You couldn't sell a horror movie with that plot line, it seems just too far over the top.

The mainstream media is starting to be shamed into reporting this story:
