Kermit Gosnell Trial: Doctor Charged in Eight Deaths From Abortion "House of Horrors"

Kermit Gosnell, a Philadelphia doctor, is on trial for performing gruesome, illegal late-term abortions that led to the death of a woman and seven infants. In Pennsylvania, abortions after 24 weeks of gestation are against the law. Gosnell regularly performed the procedure at 30 weeks of gestation or later. Gosnell’s clinic has been labeled a “house of horrors” and is beyond sickening, no matter where you stand on the issue of abortion rights’ legality. The case has already had a profound effect politically. Anti-abortion advocates are using the high-profile case, which first made headlines in 2010, to boost support for new restrictions nationwide. One of those is TRAP (Targeted Regulation of Abortion Providers) laws imposing strict architectural standards on clinics that perform only first-trimester abortions. Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of the Susan B. Anthony List, implied on Friday that TRAP laws are all directly inspired by the Kermit Gosnell case. Dannenfelser said in a statement about Virginia’s new regulations: “Since Kermit Gosnell’s ‘house of horrors’ clinic was discovered in 2010, several states have enacted measures to ensure women going into abortion facilities are treated with basic dignity and respect.” Not surprisingly, the doctor has galvanized the pro-life movement with his misdeeds. The images (not shown here) from his trial are graphic and horrific. But others, like Ilyse Hogue, president of NARAL Pro-Choice America, argue that abortion rights opponents are drawing the wrong lesson from the case. Hogue argued that the TRAP regulations could shut down many safe and legal abortion clinics by requiring them to undergo cost-prohibitive renovations. That, she said, could increase the chances of another Gosnell. “Kermit Gosnell’s so-called clinic is a peek into the world before Roe v. Wade,” she said, “and this is exactly what our opponents are driving us to.” Instead of encouraging more restrictions on rights, Hogue said the Gosnell trial should remind people of the need for safe and affordable abortion care: “This is exactly what happens when you place undue restrictions and you try to shame women to keep them from exercising their constitutional right to safe and legal abortions.” “You make them victims to people like Gosnell, because in desperation they’ll turn anywhere.” “You want to drive people like Gosnell out of business? Then you actually support medical facilities and the right of women to safe and legal abortion.”

American Idol Power Poll: The Fantastic 5

Okay, now the competition can begin! With Lazaro Arbos finally voted off American Idol last night, Season 12 is down to a fitting final five: they are all female and they can all seriously sing. But who has the best shot at winning it all? We reveal our latest Power Rankings below and then ask readers to vote for their favorite… 5. Janelle Arthur – She’s got a great country sound and a sweet personality, but she’s short on pizazz. If she wants to stick around, she needs to step it up. 4. Amber Holcomb – While her performance of “Say A Little Prayer For You” was great, “Love On Top” was, well, not the top of Amber’s game. 3. Angie Miller – This girl has musicianship, an excellent voice, and great hair. She’s marketable like WHOA. If, that is, she can figure out what genre she wants to pursue. 2. Kree Harrison – A total professional, Keith was right when he said her compassion for others comes through in her performances. She’s genuine and sings effortlessly. 1. Candice Glover – Her performances of ” Don’t Make Me Over ” and ” Love Song ” were, just as Randy proclaimed, some of the best in Idol history. This girl could sing the phone book and we would still buy the album.

Kate Upton Lookalike: Not Actually a Mail Order Bride!

The smoking hot Kate Upton look-alike claiming to be a “Russian Mail Order Bride in Training” is not … to the dismay of thousands of U.S. male would-be suitors. A 22-year-old Russian student named Ania tweeted a photo of herself posing like Kate Upton on the 2013 Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue cover this week. Kate Upton herself re-tweeted the picture, it went viral. Ania, who calls herself a “Mail order bride in training” in her Twitter profile, then made her tweets private to stave off the onslaught of attention. So who is she? By and large, Ania remains a mystery. In an interview with SI that she agreed to give under the condition that her last name not be used, she said the mail order bride thing was ” a total joke .” “I’m getting a lot of marriage proposals,” she added. “I’ve been told I look like [Upton] in the past, but when SI came out and she was wearing the same jacket that is hanging in my closet, I knew it had to be done.” Indeed. It really had to be. Well done, Ania.
