(RNS) David Gibson–Analysis: Will the Kermit Gosnell verdict change the abortion debate?

One comment on “(RNS) David Gibson–Analysis: Will the Kermit Gosnell verdict change the abortion debate?

  1. Charles52 says:

    This article is dishonest, beginning with the claim that Gosnell is “rogue” and that he was performing late-term abortions. More and more Gosnell’s are bring found, and what he did was the killing of live, born children. Moreover , the survey cited does not simply put half of the people somewhere in the middle. More than half of this country opposes legal abortion in most or all cases. And the NARAL spin is unworthy of serious discussion.
