Fifty six days after the grisly trial of abortionist Kermit Gosnell began, ABC broke its self-imposed blackout and finally offered coverage.

World News anchor Diane Sawyer belatedly told viewers that Gosnell was convicted on three counts of first degree murder against newborn babies, as well as on a slew of other charges. Terry Moran explained, “For two months, jurors heard often shocking, grisly testimony.” He described the details as a “house of horrors.” A house of horrors that ABC took 56 days to notice.

As the Media Research Center has aggressively documented, ABC went from March 18, 2013 (the trial’s start) through Monday afternoon with no coverage. Yet during the same time, the network devoted a staggering 187 minutes (or 70 segments) to other shocking criminal cases, such as Jodi Arias and Amanda Knox.
Please explain to me why when I search ABC News I get 84 hits when doing a search for Gosnell? Please take a look at the link, specifically the dates of the articles, and tell me how you can still believe the garbage posted by LifeNews when it is an absolute LIE?

Forty two days ago, on March 18, 2013, abortionist Kermit Gosnell went on trial, charged with the grisly murder of multiple babies and a patient. Yet, in the seven weeks that followed, ABC News has permitted no coverage, discussion or mention of the case, not even a single utterance of Dr. Gosnell’s name.

The article is comparing how much coverage Gosnell's trial got compared to the coverage Jody Arias's and Amanda Knox trials got. Gosnell's trial was just a tiny part when they compared them. Some were saying it was because of the horrific issues of Gosnell's trial but Jody Arias stabbed her boyfriend 20 some times shot him in the head and just about cut his head off. That argument makes no sense. They also showed pictures of it.

A pro-choice liberal wrote a column that admitted as much but it seems you didn't read it.

Quoting a source that is anti-ABC? Hilarious.

Do you know how many news shows ABC has? But you are now questioning why a family morning show did not cover this grisly trial? Wow! Talk about moving the goal posts.... So the 84 other stories are now somehow irrelevant because a family morning show didn't profile it. Truly bizarre logic. Maybe they should have had a segment on Sesame Street?

EASY answer.

The Arias trial has SEX. Lots of it. Sex sells. HLN is making money hand over fist because the Arias trial is full-to-overflowing with sex.

Sure Gosnell is connected to "legitimate medical abortions" - He's just on the extreme end of the pro-choice spectrum. The guy was a doctor...he performed abortions but was just a little on the rough side. What goes on in "legitimate" clinics that we never hear about. Gosnell practiced his low quality trade...in his mind as a physician he believed he was under the protection of the law...He was honest and a realist when it came to abortion. He did not ***** foot around with formality or trying to be classy as if it was some noble act and he was assisting in the health and freedom of woman. He knew abortion was a brutal act and like a butcher he butchered...a very pragmatic man.

The only difference in what Gosnell was convicted for murder and what the choice side including Obama argued should be legal is 6 inches.

I disagree completely. he was not preforming late term abortions because he was 'pro choice" he did so because he was a criminal and did it for the money. I doubt seriously that he thought he was protected by the law, he knew what he was doing was illegal and he did it anyway. as you said he was a butcher and he butchered. there was a reason why these women went to a criminal, they went because no real doctor working within the law would abort their children for no reason.

real late term abortions are done because for real medical issues of both the mother and or the child. late term abortions are extremely difficult. I would venture a guess and say 95% of all late term abortions are wanted children making the decision to abort harder than anyone who has never faced the choice hard to imagine.
