Nor did the group pull public (such as court) records of complaints against Gosnell, which might have allowed anti-abortion advocates to see the pattern state regulatory authorities were ignoring, despite repeated complaints from doctors and Gosnell's victims. "Groups like Operation Rescue have the manpower to investigate clinics. Most pro-life groups don't have that kind of manpower. We're there to offer women an alternative," she said.

You could probably find every logical fallacy ever defined in the various defenses of the Gosnell disaster. You know, if you felt like having a really depressing day.
this is one of the most infuriatingly awful articles I've read in a long long long time.
