“O’Reilly Factor”: Project 21’s Horace Cooper Talks West Philly Abortion Doc’s Trial

Commenting on the 3/22/13 edition of Fox News Channel’s “The O’Reilly Factor” about the ongoing murder trial of Dr. Kermit Gosnell — in which the defense lawyer in the case played the race card to imply his client is being attacked because of his race and is really a community hero — Project 21 co-chairman Horace Cooper said of Gosnell’s alleged behavior: “If this isn’t preying on innocent people who were poor and uneducated, I don’t know what it looks like.”

Gosnell, the operator of an abortion clinic in West Philadelphia, is charged with killing one woman and six live-born babies.  Horace pointed out to host Bill O’Reilly that overwhelming evidence shows Gosnell engaged in brutal abortion practices with an uncertified staff that could legitimately be compared to the horror movie “The Silence of the Lambs.”

Horace said in particular about the race card being used in Gosnell’s defense: “This kind of butchery, to be hidden by the race card, we at Project 21 were just outstandingly offended that any person would be this depraved and dark of heart.”
