Although I was unaware of this case prior to class discussions and reading about Gosnell, since I have now read the story I am aware of the parameters it has consisted of. I think it has not been a large national story because of the controversy that abortion has caused across the globe. Although most human beings believe in the grotesqueness and utter injustice of murdering a baby as it is born, many believe it is just to murder a baby when it is still in the womb. This discrepancy between different beliefs is what may be preventing this story from becoming a national story. Additionally, the fact that the people that are mistreated are more likely to be African Americans, seems to be a reason for it not to be a big story in the media. I do believe that if the women that were mistreated were white, the story would be definitely considered more mainstream. I don't agree with any of the things that have anything to do with the entire story, including how it was broadcasted.
