The conviction of a Philadelphia abortionist for murdering three babies born alive during abortions reveals “the ugliness of abortion”, said Archbishop Charles Chaput of Philadelphia.
“We need to stop cloaking the ugliness of abortion with misnomers like ‘proper medical coverage’ or ‘choice’,” he said. “It’s violence of the most intimate sort, and it needs to end.”
The president of the Pennsylvania Family Institute, Michael Geer, said the case of Dr Kermit Gosnell posed a big question: “How is it murder to kill a late-term baby outside the womb, but legal to kill it minutes earlier while still in its mother’s uterus?”
