Life News reports.

Excerpt:

White House spokesman Jay Carney today said President Barack Obama has no comment on the murder trial involving late-term abortion practitioner Kermit Gosnell.

A reporter asked: “There is a murder trial in Pennsylvania, that I know you now is getting a lot of attention — more attention that the media was not getting on it — Kermit Gosnell, this doctor who is accused of having delivering some babies who were literally screaming and then beheading them. He’s facing murder charges on that and it hasn’t been decided yet obviously, since he’s still on trial. Is the president following this at all, does the White House have any reaction to that kind of situation?

“The president is aware of it. The president does not and cannot take a position on an ongoing trial, so I won’t as well,” Carney said.

Life Site News has an idea about why Obama isn’t going to take sides like he did with the Trayvon Martin case.

Excerpt:

Of course the White House wants to avoid this topic. What a disaster Gosnell is for Obama.

Gosnell first brings to Obama’s door the uncomfortable topic of infanticide. Obama is well known to have voted four times against the Illinois Born Alive Infants Protection Actas state senator, which sought to protect abortion survivors.

But Obama also opposed two companion bills to BAIPA, one of which brings him zero degrees of separation from Gosnell.

If convicted, we’ll know that Gosnell was only acting out what Obama believes. And that’s why the media tried to hush this up. They know.
