NO! I will not respect your opinion if your opinion is that of supporting the violent act of ripping babies limb from limb via abortion. Just sayin. Would you respect my opinion if I said I supported sex trafficking? I don’t think so.

#Texasgosnell ? New Stunning Photos, Testimony Show Texas Abortionist Kills Babies Born Alive
UDATE: Texas Lt. Governor David Dewhurst Demands Investigation of Houston Abortionist
AUSTIN—Today, Lt. Governor David Dewhurst issued the following statement:
“In a week when serial murderer Kermit Gosnell was found guilty of killing babies, I read with disgust about the allegations of Houston-based abortionist Douglas Karpen performing illegal late-term abortions surrounded by appalling sanitary conditions in his clinic. The Harris County authorities should perform a full-scale investigation and take action against those who broke state law.” – Lt. Governor David Dewhurst
Read Lt. Governor David Dewhurst’s Press Release Here - http://daviddewhurst.com/blog/not-for-the-faint-of-heart
Here is the story from our friends at Operation Rescue - May 15, 2013
Houston, TX – After the conviction of late-term abortionist Kermit Gosnell on murder charges, Operation Rescue has been repeatedly asked if there is any evidence that similar practices exist at abortion clinics elsewhere in the nation.
That documentation has now been released by Operation Rescue in a shocking new report that describes in detail the allegations of Gosnell-like practices that are still happening today at an abortion clinic in Houston, Texas owned and operated by late-term abortionist Douglas Karpen and the two-year effort to bring him to justice that has been ignored by the Texas Medical Board.
Allegations supported with photographic evidence include gruesome details of viable, late-term babies being aborted alive then intentionally killed by having their throats slashed, brains stabbed, and heads twisted off.
“This project will debunk any notion that Gosnell was an outlier in the abortion industry,” said Troy Newman, President of Operation Rescue. “It is as heart-wrenching and tragic as the Gosnell case, and demands a similar response. This time, we are giving the public an opportunity to help in bringing this Texas abortionist to justice.”
The three former abortion clinic workers, Deborah Edge, Gigi Aguliar, and Krystal Rodriguez, came to Operation Rescue as the result of our Abortion Whistleblowers Program, which offers a reward of $25,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of abortionists who are breaking the law. These brave women tell of their horrific experiences working for abortionist Douglas Karpen, at one of three of his Texas abortion clinics, the Aaron Women’s Clinic in Houston.
Operation Rescue arranged to have Life Dynamics, Inc. produce a video interview of these women, which was released yesterday. Additional video and other evidence has been produced by Operation Rescue and is including in the Special Report.
As shocking as their stories are, these women did more than just talk; they brought forward evidence of illegal late-term abortions in the form of photos and video taken on their cell phones at the Karpen’s clinic on Schumacher Lane in Houston.
Watch video evidence of apparent health violations, listen to the women describe their nightmarish experiences, and view the most shocking evidence of all, the photos that prove an criminal investigation into murder and illegal late-term abortions is not only warranted, but necessary, to protect viable babies from an merciless and painful death not much different from what earned Gosnell two life sentences in prison.
Gosnell GUILTY of three counts of First Degree Murder
The Jury in the Gosnell murder trial has returned with a verdict of guilty in three of the four counts of First Degree Murder and a verdict of guilty for involuntary manslaughter. We will be updating you with more details here and on as it comes in. You can also follow Stand True and Bryan Kemper on Twitter – @standtrue @bryankemper
So far we know this:
Gosnell charged with three accounts of first degree murder on babies A, C, and D. Alex, Adam and Chris.
Infanticide on baby A (Adam).
Conspiracy in deaths of babies C (Alex) and D (Chris).
Charged with Involuntary Manslaughter of Karnamaya Mongar
Guilty of “corrupt organizations,” and conspiracy to perform abortions past PA’s 24 week limit.
Also found guilty on most of the more than 200 counts of PA’s “informed consent” law requiring a 24-hour wait.
Statement from Stand True President, Bryan Kemper:
Even if not on every count, I am thrilled today by the guilty verdict in the Gosnell murder trial; I have waited many years for justice to be served on behalf of babies being killed by abortionists. While this may be a small victory in the grand scheme of the abortion holocaust, it is an important victory for every baby who has ever been killed under the guise of choice. The ugliness of what abortion really is has had it’s mask peeled away and the truth about the violent and deadly abortion industry has been shown to the world. Gosnell was not a lone bad guy as so many in the abortion industry have tried to make him out to be: he is the face of abortion, the logical conclusion to the thought process that allows it in the first place.
I wept as I realized that after 20 years of fighting abortion full time there is finally some legal justice for these precious babies and an abortionist is found guilty if killing children.

BREAKING: “#Gosnell jury says it is hung on two counts, but don’t say which ones.” – @jdmullane
Gosnell is facing at total of 5 murder charges, and hundreds of other charges. The Jury is only hung on two charges and we don’t know which ones. He could have already been found guilty of 3 murder charges and that is a victory. PRAY!
The fate of the serial killer Kermit Gosnell is in the hands of the jury, but the fate of legalized child killing is in our hands: What will our verdict be?
On Tuesday morning, I listened intently to the judge in the murder trial of abortionist Kermit Gosnell, as he charged the Jury ahead of their deliberations. This jury had been given the facts about the babies and the mother who lost their lives in Gosnell’s “house of horrors” abortion mill, and now they hold his fate in their hands.
I have heard so many people–including the attorneys on both sides in this case–talk about how this trial had nothing to do with abortion; it was about the murder of actual, living human beings. The Defense attorney wanted to make this distinction very clear as he tried to prove that nothing more than non-human fetuses were killed. He argued that the corpses of the babies found in jars were not actual humans. The prosecutors wanted to emphasize this to make sure that the jurors separated their thoughts on abortion, and treated this like it was just a man murdering cute little babies.
What this case is actually about to me is the fact that when you are in the business of killing children for a living, there comes a point when lines can be easily blurred. It does not shock me in the least that an abortionist would have no problem killing a child outside of the womb. The abortionist knows all too well the true humanity of the child while he or she is still inside the womb. The abortionist understands that a fetus is a human being; he has just allowed himself to discount the value of that human simply because of certain criteria surrounding him or her.
This is not new to us as humans. We have allowed things like skin color, race, or religion to redefine the value of human beings in the past, so why not allow “age” to do so now? We have seen the total disconnect of societies from reality, as they actively or passively allowed the slaughter of innocent human beings.
The Kermit Gosnell trial is not about abortion because abortion is just a whitewashing word, used to deflect from what really happens in these clinics: the killing of human beings. This trial is shining a light that so many people want snuffed out, a light that is illuminating the gruesome, bloody and deadly reality that is abortion. In fact the Defense attorney himself, during closing arguments, declared abortion to be bloody and not pretty.
Just as Sophie Scholl shined a light on the reality of what the Nazi Holocaust was doing to human beings because of their nationality and their religion, and just as William Wilberforce shined a light on the reality of what the slave trade was doing to human beings, simply because of the color of their skin, we must take the light of what the Gosnell trial has exposed and show the world the reality of what abortion is doing to human beings, simply because of their age.
We have the evidence, we know the truth, and we know that the victims of abortion are not just fetuses, but human fetuses. We know that a human fetus is a human being in one of the many stages of his or her life: zygote, embryo, fetus, infant, toddler, teen, and adult. We know that just as in the Dred Scott case, our nation has made a monumental mistake and redefined personhood with Roe v Wade. We know that over 55 million innocent human beings have already been sacrificed on this altar of choice. This is a full generation as we have just passed the 40-year mark in this holocaust.
We know. Now what will we do?
Brothers and sisters, the case of legalized child-killing needs no more arguing. We have the facts. It is now time for us as a nation to hand down a verdict. We must be willing to stand up to the abortion industry and declare their reign over. The evidence is clear. Enough blood has been spilt and this verdict is long overdue.
Kermit Gosnell is being painted as just a single bad abortionist, not the norm. I say he is the face of abortion. He is the logical conclusion to the thought process that allows abortion in the first place. Planned Parenthood and the rest of the abortion industry are nothing more than “Gosnell Incorporated”.

In Wake of Gosnell Scandal, Delaware is Free of Surgical Abortions for Now – Planned Parenthood suspends surgical abortions after shocking violations found
Our friends at Operation Rescue have learned that Planned Parenthood of Delaware has temporarily halted surgical abortion services. This action makes Delaware the first state to be free from surgical abortions for any significant period of time since the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision decriminalized abortion.
The Planned Parenthood clinic in Dover has temporarily suspended surgical abortions while the Wilmington affiliate has closed completely for cleaning and re-staffing, according to Planned Parenthood statements to the media and on their website. At least three employees, one thought to be troubled abortionistEric Schaff, have quit or been fired since dangerous conditions at the facilities were exposed.
In recent weeks Planned Parenthood of Delaware was the subject of a hard-hitting series of exposés by one of the nation’s leading pro-life advocacy groups, Operation Rescue.
In February, Operation Rescue was the first to reveal an alarming trend of abortion-related medical emergencies at the Planned Parenthood clinic in Wilmington. In March, the group also released video footage of an attack on a peaceful pro-life grandmother at the same location. Events cascaded quickly for the abortion provider, and now, Planned Parenthood of Delaware is under state investigation after Operation Rescue filed numerous complaints and organized its supporters to email and call Delaware authorities.
Operation Rescue assisted with ABC Action News investigation that documented the Wilmington clinic’s conditions. The shocking news report proves the unsanitary practices at this Planned Parenthood were no different than those inside Kermit Gosnell’s squalid “House of Horrors” in Philadelphia. Gosnell is currently on trial for 5 counts of murder and a host of other abortion-related crimes.
The allegations that shuttered this clinic’s surgical practice include: filthy conditions, use of unsterile medical equipment, over-medicated patients, and failure to wash hands between surgeries. In addition, several former employees and patients are in the process of filing lawsuits against the abortion giant for health code violations and medical malpractice.
The two Planned Parenthood facilities are the last remaining abortion facilities in Delaware after two affiliates of the Atlantic Women’s Medical Services closed in 2011 when news of their association with Gosell surfaced and numerous health and safety violations were discovered.
“Filthy clinics are the status quo in the abortion industry. Kermit Gosnell is not an outlier and the complaints against Planned Parenthood of Delaware prove that Big Abortion regularly puts the lives of women at risk for STD’s, HIV and even death,” said Troy Newman, President of Operation Rescue.
Newman continued: “We now have the first state that is officially free from surgical abortions, at least for now. This will undoubtedly save babies and send a clear message to the abortion industry that regulation and oversight will shut them down for good.”
Rev. Patrick J. Mahoney, Director of the Christian Defense Coalition in Washington, D.C., states: “We celebrate the fact that, for the first time in 40 years, we have a surgically free abortion state. Even though these clinics may re-open shortly, this serves as a powerful reminder that abortion in America will soon be on the scrap heap of history.
“Like with slavery and segregation, our nation is growing tired of the violence of abortion and how it crushes human rights, justice, and equality for all. Every major poll taken shows Americans are troubled by abortion on demand and its tragic consequences.
“Delaware is providing a clear blueprint of how abortion will end in America. The pro-life movement will continue to chip away at Roe v. Wade through local initiatives, regulations and laws, until it no longer has any impact or standing.”
Operation Rescue is one of the leading pro-life Christian activist organizations in the nation and has become a strong voice for the pro-life movement in America.
What I saw and heard during my two days at the murder trial of abortionist Kermit Gosnell:
I recently spent two days at the murder trial of Kermit Gosnell, the abortionist accused of the murder of seven babies born alive and one woman. Gosnell would take babies who were born alive after botched abortions and snip the backs of their necks to finish the job. You can find out all about who Gosnell is and what he did at http://www.whoisgosnell.com
I arrived at the courthouse on Monday morning to find out the trial would be postponed for a day because of the defense attorney being sick and in the hospital. Father Frank, Janet Morana, Alveda King and I were able to talk to the prosecutors who allowed us to view and examine the evidence that was taken from his “house of horrors” abortion mill.
As I walked around the filthy, rusty and utterly disgusting equipment I wanted to vomit. I could not believe this stuff was taken from a so-called “medical clinic.” The table that the abortions were performed on looked like it was straight out of a horror movie, as did the suction tubes and ancient ultra-sound machine. The recliner in which women sat to recover from the abortions was stained and tattered and not fit to sit on. Earlier that day the prosecutor almost sat in the chair and she was visibly upset that she came so close to doing so.
On Tuesday I met up early in the morning with Alveda King and went back to the courtroom for the opening of the defense’s arguments. The day opened with defense attorneys arguing for the acquittal of all the charges to the judge, without the jury present.
Gosnell’s attorney was visibly conflicted as he went back and forth between calling the victims either a fetus or a baby. At one point he yelled out, “These infants, fetuses or whatever you call them.” I wanted to scream but had to bite my tongue as I listened to this dribble.
It suddenly became very personal to me as the defense attorney began to address the abuse of a corpse charges that Gosnell was facing for the baby parts found in jars in his house of horrors. When the attorney started spewing about how these were not real body parts because they were not real humans yet, I began to tear up. He talked about how these babies were not really human and all I could think about was Benjamin Davis, my son who we miscarried two years ago. Benjamin was a real person and was given a real funeral; he was an actual human being just as these babies were.
The prosecutors at one point were discussing a time when after the botched abortion, Gosnell also botched his “snipping.” “It was laying there with a hole in its neck, it was moving and breathing, it was alive,” declared a clinic worker about one of the babies Gosnell murdered. Sitting there listening to all of these quotes and testimonies was one of the most difficult things I have ever done, but it was important for me to be there.
Gosnell (as you notice I refuse to call him a doctor) just sat there through all of this testimony without emotion or reaction. He just sat there taking notes and smirking as he looked around. He was guarded by an armed police officer at all times as he has been in custody for almost two years. It makes my skin crawl to think that this man could possibly be released and be back in practice if he is found not guilty.
I am also heartbroken for this man and the day he will face our Lord. I prayed for his soul and have been asking my friends to do so also. I know how despicable I was before I knew Christ and I also know Gosnell needs that hope of Christ just all of us do.
This Monday the attorneys will present their closing arguments and then his fate will be given to the jury to deliberate. Christian leaders will be outside the Courthouse on Monday leading a prayer vigil for the verdict and for Gosnell himself.
We need your help to get me back to the Gosnell trial on Monday and Tuesday. It is important for me to join other national leaders at the trial for the closing arguments and for the prayer vigil. We simply need help with the cost as it is not in our budget right now, can you donate $25, $50, $100 or whatever you can to help get me there?

4. Why a TweetFest?
The mainstream media has all but ignored this case. Can you imagine the media reaction if the case were reversed and it was a pro-lifer on trial for 7 counts of 1st degree murder? Exactly.
We are going to make “new media” work on behalf of Kermit Gosnell’s innocent, helpless victims. The mainstream media is acting like nothing is happening, however – if we unite & spread the word far enough, we can FORCE the media to cover this horrific story.
Why do we need the media to cover this story? The Gosnell case is the face of the abortion industry. Abortion brutally kills preborn children and exploits women. The Gosnell case busts open the lie of “safe legal & rare” abortion.

Stop whitewashing child killing. It is time to boldly call abortion for what it is: an act of homicide.
Something happened in the early 2000s, as it seemed that people suddenly became less bold about abortion or at least in declaring it for what it is. I began to hear people say they did not want to wear the shirt anymore because it offended others. I have to admit that even I bought into the thought process and did not want to make the shirts anymore; I wanted to rely on a softer message.
This past January as we entered into the 41st year of legalized child killing in America, I started to think about that thought process again. Here we are, one full generation has passed and we are still ripping babies limb from limb in the womb.
Abortion is the only violent crime in which we seem to be more worried about the criminal’s feelings than the victim who was chopped into pieces. Of course I believe there is forgiveness in Christ. Of course I believe in redemption for those who have repented. But that does not change the fact that we MUST end abortion so no one has to go through that pain.
We must put a stigma on abortion as an act of homicide so that it becomes unthinkable for most people. We must make society realize that what happened at an elementary school in Sandy Hook is no worse than abortion. We must make sure that there will be an equal outcry over what happens in abortion clinics as there was following what happened at the movie theater in Castle Rock, Colorado.
I have to say that the very fact that the “Abortion is Homicide” shirt offends people is the reason we MUST print them. People are offended because they don’t want to have to think about what abortion is. They are offended because they understand that by calling it an act of homicide it makes it a true violent crime instead of just a mistake or unfortunate choice a woman made.
If you have had an abortion, please understand that there is hope, love and forgiveness in Christ through repentance. Please understand that ministries like Rachel’s Vineyard are there to help you find that healing. Please also understand that we put this message out because of women like you who regret their choice, and are hurt by a society that has made this horrific, violent crime against God’s heritage not only thinkable, but actually pushed and supported by the highest levels of authority.
I will continue to pray for those men and women who have been hurt by abortion, but I am committed to seeing the day when this deadly lie becomes unthinkable, illegal and something we will no longer tolerate.
Don’t be offended if I call abortion homicide. Be offended that this act of homicide exists as a legally protected right in the first place.

For Christ I stand,
