Politics clouded the safeguards against practices like Gosnell's

Karen Heller: Politics clouded the safeguards against practices like Gosnell's - Philly.com: People on both sides of the abortion debate should have been outraged by what was happening. Such atrocities should rise above ideology, appealing to basic humanity. Agencies charged with abortion clinics' oversight should have done their job, and acted swiftly on complaints. The problem is you can't take politics out of abortion. Politics clouds the whole scenario. And that, I suspect, is where the network of potential safeguards fell apart.
