Hold on there, Planned Parenthood! Before you throw accused mass-murderer Kermit Gosnell under the bus, keep in mind that the man might be charged with killing a woman and seven babies while performing illegal, late-term abortions, but he hasn’t been convicted yet. Aren’t these the kind of snap moral judgments we right-wingers are always being lectured against making?
Granted, a lot of us still stumble over the concept of “good” abortions vs. bad ones. Live Action founder Lila Rose (thankfully) has been a thorn in the side of Planned Parenthood for years and had her own questions. Now that Planned Parenthood has shown the ability to be appalled by something other than pro-lifers, what is the organization going to do about it?
@ppact How is what you do any different? PP representative said that how to treat a born infant should be between woman and doctor.

@PPact Welcome to the party. Where are the calls for greater regulation and government oversight?

To be clear on @PPact "condemning" #Gosnell: PP HAS NOT repudiated rep's statement that infanticide should be "between woman and infant."

As long as we have Planned Parenthood’s attention, it seems there are more “local crime” stories where this one came from.
.@ppact And don't forget the "ridiculously unsafe" conditions in Delaware. "Bloody drainage," "meat-market assembly-line" abortions?

@PPact Your "unsafe, unsanitary" Delaware clinic is pretty appalling as well: http://t.co/GsTJqoLX62 #Gosnell

.@PPact How about your Delaware PP that's sent 5 women to the ER since Jan? http://t.co/GsTJqoLX62 #Gosnell

@LilaGraceRose @DLoesch Also, St. Louis Planned Parenthood; 4th botched abortion in 5 weeks. http://t.co/wExeFb1MPa

Planned Parenthood pretending to condemn #Gosnell. Don't let this go unanswered! @edmorrissey @michellemalkin @danaloesch @kirstenpowers10
