"...the claim that
Roe v. Wade made America safe from back-alley abortion stands exposed as a cruel hoax, and a deadly one for women and children alike,"
writes James Taranto, drawing this little known bloody history about abortionist Kermit Gosnell from the pages of the Philadelphia murder indictment report:
It was called the Mother's Day Massacre—the brainchild of Harvey
Karman, an eccentric California man without medical training who had
served 2½ years in prison for performing illegal abortions in the 1950s.
Karman teamed with a young Philadelphia doctor who offered to perform
abortions on 15 impoverished women, each between four and six months
pregnant, who were bused to the Philadelphia clinic from Chicago on
Mother's Day 1972.
