Here is Joseph Bottum’s analysis of the Gosnell arraignment. Bottum explains that these revelations shouldn’t really have been a surprise. As Bottum writes–
“Ever since the Supreme Court issued its Roe v. Wade decision in 1973, ending states’ power to outlaw abortion and making it instead an individual right, abortion has distorted American law and snarled American politics. Why should it be any surprise that it has soiled American medicine as well? People like Dr. Gosnell are allowed to exist by the pro-abortion lobbying groups that insist ordinary medical supervision will lead to a curtailing of access to abortion in this country. ”
