Wasn’t Kermit Gosnell supposed to be an ‘outlier’?

Kermit Gosnell committed abortions on minorities, immigrants, and poor women in a "house of horrors" abortion facility. Babies at his facility were born alive and then killed with scissors. He was convicted of three counts of first-degree murder.

When Philadelphia abortionist Kermit Gosnell was found guilty of murder in May 2013, the abortion industry and their supporters did condemn his actions. It was impossible not to. But most of their focus was on blaming Gosnell’s horrific crimes on the pro-life movement or on calling him an outlier. The National Abortion Federation even referred to him as “an extreme outlier.”

So, why is it that we are now hearing about an eerily similar story to Gosnell? As Live Action News already reported, abortionist Michael Roth was recently arrested in West Bloomfield, Michigan, on the suspicion he was performing illegal abortions…

Sources confirmed to WXYZ that police impounded the vehicle after finding 14 containers of human tissue, possibly fetuses, medical equipment and large amounts of Fentanyl, a drug used for pain and sedation, in his car.

It’s also pointed out that Roth has a sordid past, something which is common among many other abortionists. 

The reason for looking into Roth’s car was actually because he allegedly hit a child with special needs.

Roth has been a defendant in several cases related to abortion, was issued a $2,000 fine for negligence by the Michigan Board of Medicine, and is described “as being  extremely nasty to pro-lifers and the media.”

One of the gruesome details of Kermit Gosnell’s practices was that he kept jars containing the body parts of babies he aborted. If it’s not disturbing enough that one abortionist would be caught doing such a thing, now another one, Roth, has been.

And, even more troubling is how this comes out in the same week Live Action News also reported that a man in South Carolina was arrested for operating a mobile abortion business.

It’s worth noting that these are only the most recent examples of abortionists whose infractions have made the news.

There was an abortionist in Texas, Douglas Karpen, who, until he was halted last year due to the state’s abortion regulations, was killing babies in a similar manner by snipping their necks. He was known as the “Texas Gosnell.”

But yeah, I’m sure the abortion industry is right, and that Gosnell, and now Roth, and any of the rest are just outliers. It’s not like we should expect anything but the best from people who kill babies for a living.
