Mother’s Day idea from Kirsten Gillibrand: Why not donate to a pro-choice group?
posted at 8:09 pm on May 11, 2012 by Allahpundit
This Mother’s Day, thank mom for the gift of life by helping to ensure that other kids don’t receive it.
Honestly, the only surprise is that she didn’t go the whole nine yards and make this a pitch for Planned Parenthood instead.
“This Mother’s Day, I can’t think of a better way to honor all the mothers in the country — past and present — than with a contribution to EMILY’s List,” Gillibrand writes. “They’re the ones working tirelessly to elect the pro-choice Democratic women who are making sure that our freedoms are protected for generations to come.”
“So, this year, join me in commemorating Mother’s Day with a contribution to EMILY’s List to help elect the Democratic women who will continue to secure our rights,” the senator continues. “On Mother’s Day, let’s get women involved and make sure they know who is truly fighting for them – the pro-choice Democratic women EMILY’s List is working each day to elect to office. Make this Mother’s Day extra special. Honor mothers around the country with a contribution to EMILY’s List.”
The fundraising appeal features a photo of the New York senator with her children — even though Emily’s List requires all candidates it supports to back taxpayer funding of abortions on children who could have been born to other mothers. Instead, Emily’s List supports denying millions of women like Gillibrand a Mother’s Day.
I’d been thinking it might be nice to take mom to an upscale restaurant on Sunday to celebrate, but no, on second thought, spending that money to help thin out the population of the next generation probably is better. Look at it this way: In years to come, the restaurants on Mother’s Day will be that much less crowded. Easier to book.
Gillibrand’s e-mail is one end of the spectrum on how to celebrate Mother’s Day this year. Here’s the other end. Exit quotation: “This isn’t how we breast-feed at home, it’s more of a cradling, nurturing situation.”

I hope the jury shows him the same compassion he showed all of the unborn babies that came through his slaughterhouse.

Geez I hope this isn’t another OJ nightmare.

Not guilty, leftist savage trash rejoice.
Bishop on May 13, 2013 at 2:30 PM
Do they have to read out all of those 200+ verdicts? That is going to take forever.
Mark1971 on May 13, 2013 at 2:30 PM
Exactly. With today’s Junk Justice the question typically is:
Will he pull an OJ or will he not pull an OJ?
viking01 on May 13, 2013 at 2:30 PM
If he’s not guilty…
Mooch to visit him saying “we’ve got your back”
Electrongod on May 13, 2013 at 2:31 PM
On the count of underpaying the receptionist, guilty. On all other counts, not guilty and the defendant is free to go.
Bishop on May 13, 2013 at 2:31 PM
IMHO guilty on everything but two murder counts.
They hung on whether 2 of the babies might not have been alive when spine severed.
barnone on May 13, 2013 at 2:32 PM
There is so much I would like to say…but, I like it around here.
kingsjester on May 13, 2013 at 2:32 PM
I think its going to be not guilty. Obama to spike the baby at 5.
El_Terrible on May 13, 2013 at 2:33 PM
If he walks, when do the violent social conservative riots begin?
portlandon on May 13, 2013 at 2:33 PM
ABC, NBC, & CBS, “Who?” “What?”
Cindy Munford on May 13, 2013 at 2:33 PM
The left better hope for their sake he gets sent away for a long time. The last thing they need after Benghazigate and the IRS scandal is to have a literal baby killer set free by an idiot jury. All of that will mobilize conservative voters in a way that’ll make 2010 look like a tea party(and I mean the kind where people actually sip tea).
Doughboy on May 13, 2013 at 2:33 PM
I bet he skates on the murder charges. They were hung up on a couple counts because there were one or two pro lifers on the jury, but the rest were able to twist their arms on them since this morning.
changer1701 on May 13, 2013 at 2:33 PM
I guess we”re about to see if there is any hope left…

Naw. We’ll just cook a bunch of covered dishes and drown our sorrows in sweet tea.

I’m prepared to be utterly unsurprised.
squint on May 13, 2013 at 2:34 PM
Not sure about the violence, but the protests will get ugly.
Doughboy on May 13, 2013 at 2:34 PM
It’s going to take a while for the jury foreman to read all those verdicts.
Liam on May 13, 2013 at 2:35 PM
At least NBC has a Breaking banner up on their website
BobMbx on May 13, 2013 at 2:35 PM
So the Pro Choice mantra is “keep abortions legal and safe”. Follow this story, even remotely, and you’ll quickly see that they’re clearly more interested in keeping abortions legal than “safe”.
The Zoo Keeper on May 13, 2013 at 2:36 PM
I’ve had the feeling for some time now they will let him go..
reason-his age. They’ll take pity on him, becasue he’s Old.
If he had been in his 40′s-50′s they would’ve reached the
verdict long ago..
HOPE I’M WRONG.
ToddPA on May 13, 2013 at 2:37 PM
Either way bro.

Shortly after the violent Tea Party rallies start.

How sad is it that we are encourage at any small sign that they might do their job?
Cindy Munford on May 13, 2013 at 2:38 PM
This. If he walks, their ghoulish rejoicing will say more about them than it will ever say about us.
CurtZHP on May 13, 2013 at 2:38 PM
Bookies have that at 3-5.
Steve Eggleston on May 13, 2013 at 2:39 PM
If this guys walks, it is a sad commentary on what our citizenry is willing to accept as standard operating procedure.

Even guilty the fud will only serve two years because the Dog Eating Grifter will pardon him on his way out the door.

Sadly True.
The only way it gets ugly or violent is if the pro-death infanticidists start shit.
portlandon on May 13, 2013 at 2:40 PM
Can’t let anything else happen or people might think abortion is unethical or something.
Bob's Kid on May 13, 2013 at 2:41 PM
How long will it take for Obama to pardon him?

Armin and thuja should be here any time now.
kingsjester on May 13, 2013 at 2:41 PM
If he walks because the jury just did an OJ jury and decided on political grounds…. how long before nonpartisan and the gang celebrate murder?
Vanceone on May 13, 2013 at 2:41 PM
They’ll get him on some puny frivolous charge which won’t need any punishment, his license might get suspended and then he will be a permanent guest on the mutt-muncher’s parties in his palace.
Ofcourse, needless to say, he has to become a professor.
burrata on May 13, 2013 at 2:41 PM
Conservatives don’t tend to externalize our rage that way. We try to make the world better.
squint on May 13, 2013 at 2:42 PM
I’ve got a bad feeling about the murder charges when you have an all female jury. It only takes one more interested in affirming the “right” of abortion than justice. And, in reality, the real culprits are not on trial here- health department officials who let this place operate for 17 years without a bit of oversight.
Happy Nomad on May 13, 2013 at 2:42 PM
Can Obama pardon him? I mean, this is state crime stuff, and I don’t think the President can do anything to waive punishment for a state crime… isn’t that a governor level thing?
Vanceone on May 13, 2013 at 2:43 PM
These aren’t federal charges, are they? If they are not, then Obama can’t do sh1t.
cptacek on May 13, 2013 at 2:43 PM
Peace Prize.
justltl on May 13, 2013 at 2:43 PM
Anything short of first degree murder is an outrage.
cynccook on May 13, 2013 at 2:43 PM
If he walks for murder but convicted of everything else, one of the things he should be required to wear is a t-shirt for the rest of his life that says he is/was an abortionist who was paid to kill unborn human beings.
Logus on May 13, 2013 at 2:44 PM
How in the world did they get an all female jury?
cptacek on May 13, 2013 at 2:44 PM
It seems to me the major isues have been reinforced here, regardless of this verdict and the hideous circumstances of the murders. Surely, some prochoicers have to be rethinking their logic on the origin of life.
a capella on May 13, 2013 at 2:44 PM
I’m guessing that coming this quickly after telling the judge they are hung on two counts out of hundreds means a lot of “guilty” verdicts are coming.
farsighted on May 13, 2013 at 2:44 PM
If they find him innocent of murder, can we just nuke Philly already? Seriously its a cesspool and no one will miss it.
Zaggs on May 13, 2013 at 2:44 PM
Looks to me like they were premature in this announcement. Looks like Fox is just repeating the “two verdicts outstanding” meme that has been buzzing around for hours.

Great, after a few years of easy time in a minimum security facility, Gosnell can wear that shirt and get elected as a senator from Mass.

I understood it was 7 women, 5 men.
pambi on May 13, 2013 at 2:47 PM
Which might appear as a hung jury followed by a verdict a few hours later, no?
Ronnie on May 13, 2013 at 2:47 PM
I read this differently. But could easily be wrong.
I read it the other way.
How long would one or two jurors who insist on a guilty verdict on two of four counts, when they have already agreed to not guilty on the other two, really hold out? Would they really hold out until the foreman is forced to tell the judge they are hung on those two?
farsighted on May 13, 2013 at 2:47 PM
Seriously? All female? Is this true. So what, now only women can decide all things on
abortionreproductive health?WisRich on May 13, 2013 at 2:48 PM
That would take one hell of an activist jury though. Remember, the defense didn’t present a case. They rested when asked to call their first witness. At least Orenthal’s so-called dream team spent months going after the veracity of the LAPD’s crime scene investigators and lab workers and played the race card.
Doughboy on May 13, 2013 at 2:48 PM
My gut instinct, based on the deadlock, is that he walks on the murder counts.
As his attorney said during closing arguments: “This is abortion.”
And so it is.
DRPrice on May 13, 2013 at 2:49 PM
Thanks for the clarification.
WisRich on May 13, 2013 at 2:49 PM
Defense counsel polls the jury after each count.
We’re gonna be here till Thursday.
BobMbx on May 13, 2013 at 2:50 PM
and they all voted with their lady parts I’m sure !!

That’s correct.

Kirsten Powers on FNC with Kelly, afterthiscommercial break.
pambi on May 13, 2013 at 2:51 PM
Yep. Like I said above. The proaborts might win this particular battle, but, they’ll also be a lot closer to losing the whole war.
a capella on May 13, 2013 at 2:52 PM
The problem with the Orenthal jury wasn’t their gender. It was their race(and racism) and their collective IQ. I heard that one of the alternate jurors reportedly dismissed the DNA evidence outright because “everyone has blood”.
Doughboy on May 13, 2013 at 2:52 PM
There’s no way a rational set of individuals can look at this and *not* find him guilty of murder.

Nope. Judge closed courtroom.
katy the mean old lady on May 13, 2013 at 2:55 PM
Well, no… *that* was not abortion – which in and of itself is horrific.
*That* was simply, unquestionably, *worse* than simply murder. *That* was depraved, psychopathic atrocity, the reach of which horror writers wish they could dream up.
Midas on May 13, 2013 at 2:56 PM
I don’t think the people of this country have been anywhere near rational in a long, long time. Look who they voted for…twice.

I say Gosnell goes free because really he only found out about all those murdered babies last Friday.

revolutionismyname on May 13, 2013 at 2:57 PM
I fear a not guilty verdict as well.
But one possible bright spot, the alphabets will then finally report on it, which means many more Americans will then become aware of it. Once they hear or see some of the horrific testimony, this deal may backfire on the scumbags that have been trying so hard to bury it.
How could anyone not see the horror in this?
JusDreamin on May 13, 2013 at 2:57 PM
The only difference is that he smiled and Obama cried (today), poor puppy.
Schadenfreude on May 13, 2013 at 2:58 PM
Rush just read some poll that suggested that a large majority of people are against abortion. That may be but will twelve have the guts to find a doctor guilty?

You have to recognize something as happening in order to rejoice over it.

Infanticide is sanctioned in the USA today, like it is in India/China, by Obama, Armin, thuja, and their backers, who are among you.
Schadenfreude on May 13, 2013 at 2:59 PM
Unless someone tries vigilante justice and kills Gosnell. Then they will have a martyr for the cause a la “Dr.” Tiller.
And still, I’m not even going to bother taking any huge leap of faith that they will lose the war. There has never been any sign of that; rather, they only have been strengthened as they decades have rolled on.
