The Hypocrisy of Tom Ridge's Checks and Balances

From the article:

In today's America it's tough for a politician to do something truly shocking.

But it has just been announced that Gov. Tom Ridge, the former head of Homeland Security and Pennsylvania Governor is one of the founders of an apparently conservative lawyers organization called Checks and Balances which they say will "expose President Trump's abuse of the Rule of Law."

That's not the shocking part - lawyers, conservative or otherwise, are of course entitled to organize and protest the president.

However what is shocking that one of the founding members of Checks and Balances is the Tom Ridge who when he was governor of Pennsylvania ordered an end to the legally required inspections of abortion clinics.

His actions allowed abortion doctor Kermit Gosnell to run a house of horrors where women died and children were butchered. Without the fear of annual inspections Gosnell was able to turn his abortion clinic into a murder factory. Hundreds perhaps thousands of babies were murdered. Several patients also died at his hands. Gosnell is now serving multiple life sentences in a PA maximum security prison but Tom Ridge has never really justified ending the inspections that would have revealed the house of horrors years before the doctor was detected.

Ridge's culpability is spelled out in horrifying detail in the report of the Grand Jury investigation into the clinic.

End excerpt.
