Touré: Thank God for abortion

posted at 10:01 am on January 28, 2013 by Ed Morrissey

I played this clip Friday night while guest hosting Hugh Hewitt’s show, and ended up with a deluge of callers. We haven’t posted it here yet, but Touré’s prayer of thanks for the sacrament of abortion has to be seen to be believed:

Visit NBCNews.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy

Katie Pavlich is aghast, calling it the “worst” piece of commentary in the week of the 40th anniversary of Roe v Wade:

During a segment last week, Toure went on what he called an abortion rant in which he thanked God and country abortion was there to “save him” at a time when taking care of a baby and becoming a father would have been inconvenient for him. He also refers to abortion as a “safety net.” …

Got that? Toure was willing to end the life of an unborn child so his own life could remain convenient and less responsible. He’s proud of it, too. His argument is similar to that of the one made in Salon last week titled, “So what if abortion ends a life?”

Frankly, I think Touré is a little confused here.  It’s easy to support abortion as a “safety net” if one doesn’t believe in God.  That reduces human life to its utilitarian value, which makes it easier (although hardly automatic) to assume that abortion has no consequences worth considering past the immediate.  Plenty of atheists oppose abortion, too, on the basis of innate human rights to life, but at least support for abortion would make sense from a perspective that excludes God.

But to “thank God for abortion” demonstrates a lack of proper formation in religion … or just a bit of demagoguery intended to put on a fake faith to assume speakership for that contingent of people.  If Touré really believes in God, perhaps he should take the time to find out what God says about pretty much the entire arc of behavior that Touré admits in this brief clip; if he’s more inclined to stick with science, better learn about scientific definitions of life and embryology.  If he plans to stick with demagoguery, well, he’s doing just fine as it is.

So now he’s pro life?

Rancher on May 14, 2013 at 5:24 PM

Why would he give up his right to appeal, though? …I’m skeptical that he would have gotten death even if the prosecution had pushed for it. He deserves it, but my hunch is that the jury might have considered the fact that his victims just missed being killed in a fully legal way and therefore maybe Gosnell shouldn’t be slapped with the most severe possible sentence.

To answer your question, Gosnell and his legal team probably don’t share your skepticism.

Stoic Patriot on May 14, 2013 at 5:24 PM

Gosnell was not a one-off.

Curtiss on May 14, 2013 at 5:26 PM

He was smiling and update until just before the verdict was read. He knows the subject wore that pro-life jury down. And he was supposed to get another jury installed to decide punishment. My hunch is reality just bit him in the ass and he didn’t like the way it felt.

Gosnell’s advanced age had made it unlikely he would ever be executed before his appeals ran out.

Mr. D on May 14, 2013 at 5:29 PM

I’m surprised that the court would allow a prosecutor to hold a death sentence over a defendant’s head to pressure him into giving up his right to appeal.

Happens all the time.

And even if he lost all his appeals, even up through the S.Ct., it’d take, say, 18 years. And then we’d be executing a 90 year old who only had a few months to live anyway.

I’m fine with this. Spend the money, time and resources going after other scumbags.

From who? I see no outrage about Gosnell, except from people that already think killing babies is wrong. The most outrage I’ve seen from the baby killers is a lack of cleanliness of the facilities. As if hiring a proper maid service would make everything dandy with abortion.

Doesn’t matter. That decrepit old husk hasn’t long to live. The kind of violence he wallowed in has stolen old age from him, and his short imprisonment will sap the rest of his energy. He’ll waste away in hell. My hope is that it doesn’t take long to clear away the remains.

His worst-case scenario is that all of his appeals fail but he keeps his name in the news and remains a cause celebre for the hardest of hardcore pro-abortion nuts.

That’s Obama’s worst case scenario. Obama wants Baby killing abortionist Gosnell dropped down the memory hole, not some highly publicized dead man walking march to the death row chamber.

Gosnell getting the death needle is an acknowledgement that born alive abortions merit killing the baby killer, and abortion proponents don’t want that precedent set.

Best. comment. ever.

If “brevity is the soul of wit” sir/madam, you deserve a picture in the dictionary next to the definition of “wit,” I am suitably humbled, thank you.

Regardless if he’d received the death sentence or life w/o parole he would have still died in the custody of Pennsylvania’s Dept. of corrections.

If he’d received the death penalty he’d still be in the appeals process the last day of his life. There’s at least one person on Pennsylvania’s death row who still has outstanding appeals for a murder he committed in the 80′s!!

Unlike my home state where you can see the line of those on death row move, Pennsylvania would have warehoused him and allowed his appeals to continue for the rest of his life.

Now, he’ll end his days like Zacarias Moussaoui who yearned for the death penalty so he could grandstand in the appeals process for decades, now forgotten and deprived of a soap box.

Any bets on who’ll start the “Free Gosnell” movement?

Rot until your space opens up in Hell, Gosnell

The sheriffs told him to stuff it because he was just another guy in shackles to them.

Wethal on May 14, 2013 at 6:10 PM

Prosecutors had sought the death penalty because Gosnell killed more than one person, and his victims were especially vulnerable given their age.

And more evil is unearthed…

I really wish you would revisit your lack of faith, Allahpundit. And all the atheists, particularly those like Resist We Much, who I respect very much, and a few others who are not obnoxious anti-Christians. But even the obnoxious ones…

I’m quite convinced we are going to be seeing the Truth come down on this country, in fact the whole world, in a big way pretty soon and I really hope you recognize it for what it is, before it is too late. God will not let this affront to Him and His innocent creation stand much longer. I am certain we are seeing the Chastisement building before our very eyes, though it has been doing so for quite a few years. But the speed seems to be increasing at a frightening pace as seen in every headline on Drudge.

Catholic Prophecy

Look into Fatima. Pope Francis had his papacy consecrated to Our Lady of Fatima just yesterday for a reason. Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI made St. Hildegard a Doctor of the Church for a reason, as well as beatifying Sr. Elena Aiello. They are telling us something.

Just read Romans 1. It is all right in that one page of Sacred Scripture. Everything in there is us, and “those who do such things are worthy of death, and not only they that do them, but they who consent to them that do them.” We will pay for allowing this horror. Not only have we allowed it to continue, we’ve been funding it!

I don’t know how well you pay attention to comments, but I’ve posted this a number of times, but in case you haven’t had opportunity to see/ignore before, please read the comparative study of the Shroud of Turin and the Sudarium of Oviedo and then compare to the Eucharistic Miracle of Lanciano, keeping in mind how old these relics are and that blood typing didn’t come into existence until less than 100 years ago. Christ was real; He died for you; and shed His precious type AB blood for you. He rose from the dead and will come again to judge… And God the Father is about to show us His wrath which comes first. Whether this is the final or minor chastisement, He is going to remove His protection in a big way. How could He not with this sort of horror so widespread?

Please believe in Him.

God have mercy.

pambi on May 14, 2013 at 7:01 PM

look at this!!!

on lifesitenews, one of the women who is in that video exposing the truth about gosnell #2, deborah edge, posted a comment!!

For many years I worked for the abortion industry. As a young mom and one on the way, I was in a bad financial situation. I was desperate to find something to provide for my children. I ran across an ad where a clinic needed a appointment setter, and it sounded good considering I was 5 months pregnant and it would be a light job requirement. I was interviewed and hired on the spot, when they told me it was an abortion clinic I felt ill to my stomache, But i knew that my needs to provide for my family had to be met. In my mind i looked at it as a surgical procedure because it was legal and i felt I was really helping the women who were patients. YOu folks dont know us and do not understand the why and the how. We are human and we are not sitting in that video to gain any money or fame. I am trying to make women and the public aware of the horrors that not only went on in the Gosnell clinic but in all the other abortion clinics. I have made my peace with GOd and who are you to judge me, I held many hands of women who i felt i was helping, probably your neighbor or a family member or maybe even your own child. I dont need sympathy from you folks. I am coming out publically because I have asked God to forgive me and to give me direction as to how I could be of service to this horrid issue at hand. YOu folks are evil and have no real good intentions and probably just as cold hearted as the abortionist. and YOU sit there and call yourself a pro lifer. You can have your say because you are intitled to it. But dont expect me to feel i need to curl up and hide. What good would that video have been if we were all just crying. We wanted to make the public aware. INstead of bashing us you should be on a supportive level that we want to do the right thing and end abortions. We are human like the next guy and have made many mistakes like anyone else, ANd the good thing is that we have step forward with the intention to use our knowledge of this horrid industry and use it to open people eyes and views. The people who support us are many and we are greatful that they exsist because with out them We would be unable to proceed in our mission to spread the truth about the reality that goes on in the abortion clinic. You need to be judgemental with your own lives not mine. GOD is in control of ours. SO before you go saying what you think should happen to us check your self out!!!! Dont say nothing if you dont have anything nice to say. Because we dont care about you negativity.

How can anyone do this? I swear liberals have no regard for human life. I noticed several times these women would slip and call it a baby then correct themselves and say fetus. I pray every day for the end of abortion. I pray that those engaging in the abortion trade and those women having abortions beg for Gods forgiveness and stop. As to those involved in late term abortions I pray for their swift apprehension and the death penalty. May God have mercy on their souls but more importantly may God comfort those precious souls killed without ever having the chance to live.

Just stencil “BABYKILLER” on his orange jumpsuit and let the inmates take care of him.

Doing the job that the system won’t do.

his victims just missed being killed in a fully legal way

Manchuria begs to differ.

Two, via Life Site News, is of … well, just watch. Obviously I can’t vouch for its credibility…

I don’t know, they seem a little too detached.

Detached is the only way you don’t go crazy at what you’ve seen and done in this case. They’re all conditioned to keep referring to ‘the fetus’. It’s a defense mechanism for these women as much as a way of hiding the truth (that it’s a baby) from the public. The one on the right kept slipping up though and calling it ‘the baby’.

I can understand why the talky one in the middle keeps seeing in her mind’s eye what she described about the baby’s toes spreading when it was killed. I’m not a weepy sort but that made me cry.

It’s really very ironic that he gets life. The very thing he denied his patients.

I think they should just snip his spine with a scissor.

This is, to quote Sheriff Joe Biden, a big f’ing deal. Normally I’d be p!ssed they took DP off the table, but now he’ll get DP’ed in a cell for the remainder of his days.

Hell, it wouldn’t even be capital punishment – we’ll call it a late, late, late, late-term post birth abortion. Whatever spin makes ya feel better.

I half-suspected he’d be set free into the open field, but the jury actually used a brain and convicted him on all the relevant charges. In Philly of all places. And there were many charges. The testimony and grand jury report was heinous.

This is SO very bad for the abortion industry, so, true to form, they are whining that this was caused by too much regulation. LOL. Actually, the feminists have it made – abortion is one health area that is woefully under-regulated, due to each regulation being legally challenged as “an undue burden” on a woman’s right to choose. Gov. Tom “Color-Code” Ridge of PA stated as much. And here’s the unintended consequence – instead of dying in back alleys, they die in unsanitary, unsupervised “protected, legal clinics”.

Planned (un)Parenthood also didn’t mention he went down for convictions on the deaths of three BABIES (they focused on the women, only), who had their spines snipped like a flower stem once out of the woman’s body, whereas it would have been legal while still in her body. No wonder Gosnell looked perplexed when he was convicted – he did that crap everyday with the feminists’, and the law’s, blessing. NOW they have a problem with it?

People only support abortion to the extent they do because they honestly don’t know what it involves, and what the law is around it. Sometimes in true medical necessity cases, and perhaps in rape cases, it could be considered justifiable homicide. But that means ya have to consider it a child and you have to justify that action (woman’s life v. baby’s life, etc.) – current law doesn’t, it classifies it as less than nothing, and let’s a woman do it for any reason up to viability. And at viability they still can, with some restriction. If people were informed, say, like, by a group that fills us in on news-worthy items, a “media” or “school”, their opinions would do a 180 real quick. Mine did when I really learned what it is and how it’s practiced/legally justified. And bear in mind, I’m no Bible-Thumper. And that’s why this story got ignored for most of it’s duration – “they” can’t have people informed, because people may then make decisions “they” don’t like.
