Abortion

I was shocked when I found out about Gosnell's case for the first time in VHS. Performing late term abortions is cruel. Besides this, at least 7 babies were alive when delivered then killed by Gosnell. I think the story has not gotten much media attention because of abortion being a hot button topic. No media source wants to rock the boat. Also, Gosnell's practice was in a poorer section of Philadelphia, where the clinic may not have been evaluated as often as it should have been. Practices on the mainline are much more subject to lawsuits because its patients can afford the legal fees. Gosnell's patients probably could not afford to go against him. I also think there is a stigma about poorer parts of the country. Some people tend to look over the bad things that happen there in ways they would not if it happened in wealthier parts; however, because this case is so big, I doubt it will be overlooked much longer.
