Face of Evil


The events of this past week (April 15-20, 2013) have been exhausting and very frustrating.  I feel horrible for the people whose lives were lost in this senseless tragedy.  And I, like most, waited with baited breath to see these two men apprehended.  But watching the news coverage of these types of events is exhausting.  I don’t mean to be shallow, but I lament these events not only for the loss of life, but the also for the incessant news coverage and the tireless speculation. 

The events of this week bring into question the necessity for the 24-hour news.  Just because we have the technology to bring live coverage of a helicopter hovering over a Best Buy doesn’t really mean that we need to show a helicopter hovering over a Best Buy.  Although this was certainly the most visible news story of the week, what else did we miss this past week? 

There are two stories that failed to break into American homes amid the constant news about the Boston Bombings and the trip to Cuba by Jay-Z and Beyonce. 

Story 1: Scientists found life on Mars.  According to the report the Mars Rover identified a cluster of living cells multiplying rapidly.  It is unknown at this point if the living cells are human, animal or plant life.  Needless to say NASA and other agencies are scrambling a team of people who can make the journey to Mars to protect this life and study it.

Story 2: Police found the remains of what appeared to be thousands of human babies at a farm in rural Pennsylvania.  The suspects are still at large, but Federal Investigators are calling this a place where religious group sacrificed children to an unknown god.  The group and its leader have not been identified, but investigators have a few leads.

Wow!  Those stories didn’t make the cut, presumably because of the Boston Bombings and the whereabouts of Jay-Z.  Incredible really, life on Mars and some wackos sacrificing live babies!  How can this be?  Well I will tell you how it can be.  It didn’t get reported because I made up those stories; those stories are not real.  But do you know what story is real which has not yet made national headlines?  The story of Kermit Gosnell, a Philadelphia abortionist and what is being deemed by the few media outlets that did pick up the story, as a “house of horrors.”
Face of Evil - Kermit Gosnell

The testimony, which is coming out in the trial, is that Mr. Gonsnel (I refuse to call him a doctor) performed late term abortions, nay, murder, by snipping the spinal cord of babies born, not “fetuses” in utero, but babies alive an on the table.  He is charged with 7 counts of first-degree murder and one count of third-degree murder of an adult patient. 

One of the clinic staff testified that a baby was still alive after a botched abortion and put into a toilet where she said it was swimming in the toilet trying to get out. Another clinic staff member grabbed the baby and snipped its spinal cord to kill it.    The prosecution also showed that the drain pipes were so clogged with discarded babies that the clinic had to remove the toilet to unclog the drain! 

So why haven’t news agencies covered this trial in more detail?  I’m mean, remember how much attention the chick from Florida received after being accused of murdering her daughter and burying her not far from her house?  This man is accused of murdering seven babies, one adult and the only thing we get are one and two minute segments from the big news networks.  The Boston Bombings killed 2 adults and one child and wounded more than 180 people.  Sad. Tragic. But this jack wagon murders hundreds of children and nothing?! 

Some news agencies claim that the details are far too horrific to cover.  Hogwash!  The news media showed hours of bombing footage and bloody people being treated by emergency workers.  They refuse to cover this trial because it’s about abortion, plain and simple.  It makes a woman’s right to choose convenience look like what it really is…murder.


The frustrating part is that if scientists did find a cluster of cells on Mars they would move heaven and hell to get there to save it, to study it, to protect it.  We would have CNN covering it painstaking detail.  Wolf Blizer would probably be flown to Mars himself to give us the play by play.

Could you imagine if there was a religious cult out there sacrificing children?  Wall-to-wall news coverage.  Wes Craven would turn it a feature film and Lifetime would turn it into a made-for-TV movie or even a mini series.  There would be public outcry and the Department of Justice would not rest until the cult was taken out and the leaders prosecuted to the fullest extent. 

But you see, this is happening.  Science has found a cluster of cells that are alive and go from a mass of living cells to become a full-grown human.  Only the cells are not on Mars, but in a woman’s womb.  And there is religious cult out there sacrificing babies by the millions all in the name of their god…themselves. 

Those people who choose not to follow an established religion can be categorized as Humanists.  Humanism is just a fancy term for saying “if it feels good, do it.”  And for some, abortion feels good.  Well, maybe not the procedure, but the sex that led to it, or the drug use, which led to the sex feels good.  Imagine a world where you can have as much sex as you want, with whomever you want without the pesky consequences of having a child.  Welcome to world brought to you by Planned Parenthood.

It is unfortunate that many of us have grown up hearing only about the risks and dangers of expressing ourselves sexually. While those risks are real, it is also true that having sex play — with or without a partner — can be a positive and powerful force in our lives. It helps us create connections to other people and it helps us enjoy our world.
