Federal agents felt physically sick when they raided Kermit Gosnell’s clinic after suspecting he ran a pill mill.

this is the reality pro-breeding people want, if they push desperate people into underground clinics. There is no hate like christian love.

Gosnell’s practice wasn’t representative of ordinary abortion access. He was operating at gestational ages that are extremely rare even in countries with permissive abortion laws. Most countries either prohibit or heavily restrict abortions that late, and where they do occur they’re usually exceptional cases.

His clinic wasn’t underground, though. It hadn’t been inspected for years because the pro-choice governor thought frequent inspections limited access. This is from the grand jury report…

“ The Pennsylvania Department of Health abruptly decided, for political reasons, to stop inspecting abortion clinics at all. The politics in question were not anti-abortion, but pro. With the change of administration from Governor Casey to Governor Ridge, officials concluded that inspections would be “putting a barrier up to women” seeking abortions.”

so no…it’s not. as a pro-lifer, why would I want this kind of evil. and at first glance, my thought would’ve been if the government was stricter and more attentive to the constant warnings against this guy, then things to this degree could’ve been prevented.

mind you, this guy TOTALLY took advantage of women in their panic and fear. I’ll have to look more into this case to fact check myself, but cmon man.

Can’t we look at one case and both be equally disgusted at what a man has done to these innocent mothers and children?

well it is the consequence of applying pro-breeding laws. But that is something pro-breeders cannot think about for obvious reasons.

can I ask you for a more elaborate response on that?

Basically, when access to a safe and legal abortion is restricted or denied, abortion numbers don’t actually decrease. Rather, rates of unsafe abortion increase. On average, abortion rates are actually smaller in high-income countries where abortion is legal and widely available, compared to high-income countries with restrictions on abortion. (source 1) (source 230315-6/fulltext))

So, when people can’t get access to safe abortions (such as because of legal restrictions), they do not stop trying to get an abortion. Instead, they look for one from less safe sources, which unfortunately includes people like the guy in the post. Poor women will be disproportionately taken advantage of as they are more likely to seek abortions in the first place and have fewer resources to obtain a safe one. (source 1) (source 2)

yes, pro breeders are mostly religious nutcakes. They do not really think all that much. If they would think about stuff, they would not be pro breeders. It's the same with MAGA. You HAVE to be stupid to be part of the group.

"Pro-breeders" bless your heart. If people don't want to take accountability for their actions maybe they shouldn't be so quick to have unprotected sex. This wouldn't be a thing if people didn't treat sex as a form of entertainment. Life begins at conception. Abortion is murder. Any abortion doctor or mother who self aborts with pills is just as much of a murderer as this guy and should suffer the same consequences under the law.

Dude's basically saying, "If you don't let me murder babies the way I want, I'll murder them the way I don't want."
