Gosnell is evil and possibly crazy, but he has said one reasonable thing since his arrest. When at his arraignment Gosnell was read the charges against him (one count of murder for the botched abortion and seven counts of murder for the born alive babies he killed) he responded, "I understand the one count. But I don't understand the seven counts."
Gosnell's bafflement is understandable. He operated in a country whose highest court has declared that the right to kill one's children is embedded in its constitution and whose president has opposed laws to criminalize some of the very acts for which Gosnell is being prosecuted.
Kermit Gosnell's victims will haunt our consciences for years to come, reminders not only of the abortionist who slaughtered them but also of the society that let it happen.
