An update on this horrible and upsetting story we mentioned a few days ago.
“His entire practice showed nothing but a callous disdain for the lives of his patients,” said the nearly 300-page grand jury report, released Wednesday.
The panel also had scathing criticism for Pennsylvania state health and medical regulators, saying they had numerous opportunities to shut Gosnell down over the years but ignored complaint after complaint about filthy conditions and illegal operations.
In all, prosecutors said, state officials failed to inspect the clinic despite repeated complaints from 1993 until January 2010, when a federal drug raid investigating heavy painkiller distribution at the clinic shut it down.
Repeated complaints about safety standards at an abortion clinic are not enough for the authorites to bother with. But illicit painkiller distribution can shut down that clinic in no time flat.
Somebody’s got their priorities in the wrong order.
