Catastrophic failings by police and social services allowed a Muslim child sex trafficking ring to sexually torture girls as young as 11 for eight years, all because law enforcement didn’t want to offend Muslim sensibilities, or worse, be accused of racist-islamophobic-bigotry.
“Victims repeatedly told officers they had been raped or abused by the vicious and ‘medieval’ predators – but no action was taken.” They used knives, cleavers and baseball bats to inflict severe pain on the girls for their twisted pleasure.
Former Gov. Tom Ridge (Pa.), a pro-choice Republican, was the key reason the horrors of Kermit Gosnell’s Philadelphia abortion clinic went on undetected for so long.
Ridge is a pro-choice Republican and it was his administration that decided to halt annual inspections of Pennsylvania’s abortion clinics. This happened because the Ridge administration felt shoddier clinics like Gosnell’s would be forced to close if inspectors from the state department of health came through and did their jobs. Closing clinics would create a “barrier” for women seeking abortions, and Ridge didn’t want that.
