In Philadelphia were are being treated to the logical outcome of unprincipled pseudo-conservatism. An abortionist by the name of Kermit Gosnell is on trial for murder because some of the infants he was supposed to kill were inconveniently born alive. Gosnell’s defense is that the babies of poor and minority women deserve to be killed and to prosecute him is racism. That’s right. Racism. But Pennsylvania Governor Tom Ridge is at least as responsible as Gosnell. In honor of that trial, I’m reposting this story from two years ago.
