So your argument is to point out one doctor out of thousands, who is essentially a back alley abortionist murderer who took advantage of desperate, minority, and immigrant women but extorting huge sums of money to kill their viable fetuses? He is one of the reasons why "late term" abortions should be legal so they can be done properly, and if they are not deemed medically necessary mothers can be given the support they need. Gosnell is where he should be, because he is a murderer.
When I speak of being able to terminate a pregnancy after 20 weeks, I'm talking about the fetuses who have 0 chance of survival after birth. The ones who's organs have developed outside of their bodies, their brains haven't developed, or they can't swallow at all (meaning they will not be able to breathe and will suffocate at birth). I'm talking about the women who have life threatening pregnancy complications that if the pregnancy were to continue, both the mother and the fetus would die. Imagine having one of those complications with a pregnancy that you really, really wanted and have been planning for. No doctor in your state can help you and you have to travel to the other side of the country. How is that right? If the feus dies in the womb and is not removed from the mother, that can cause blood clots and excessive bleeding and the mother could die. Although it's not illegal if the fetus is dead, D&X procedures can still take place, but if no one has practiced doing them, the mother is in danger, or they have to go to a state or country that performs those procedures.
You might not have said at birth, but American politicians have. "the mother meets with the doctor. They take care of the baby, they wrap the baby beautifully. And then the doctor and the mother determine whether or not they will execute the baby."
