At the end of June, Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette charged 74-year-old abortionist Michael Arthur Roth with possession with intent to deliver narcotic Fentanyl, six counts of identity theft and three counts of larceny. While drug-related, the charges hinted at something even more ominous: potentially illegal abortions.
In October, local stations first reported that police discovered multiple containers of “human tissue” in the Michigan abortionist’s car. The story eerily echoed the case of Philadelphia abortionist Kermit Gosnell – and, like Gosnell, it didn’t tempt coverage from the nationally broadcast networks. All three, ABC, NBC and CBS, turned a blind eye during their national news shows. Even now, with formal charges, they refuse to mention the story.
But law enforcement officials are taking the incident seriously.
“Dr. Roth’s actions jeopardized the safety of Michigan’s healthcare system,” Schuette said in the press release. “His attempt to break the law at the expense of his patient’s safety is not only illegal, but goes against the code he took upon becoming a doctor.”
Roth was also “charged with violating the Michigan public health code,” the press release continued, and, as a result, could face suspension of his medical license.
But that didn’t count as a story for the networks – not even at a time when clinic safety is a hot topic
