PHILADELPHIA, Penn., April 3, 2013 /Christian Newswire/ -- The news conference will be on Thursday, April 4, at 12:00 P.M. noon.

The location is the Juanita Kidd Stout Center for Criminal Justice at 1301 Fiber St.  Philadelphia, PA.

Rev. Patrick J. Mahoney, Director of the Christian Defense Coalition in Washington, D.C., states;

"The murder trial of Kermit Gosnell destroys the myth of 'safe and legal abortions'  in America. The horrors and barbaric abortion practices brought to light expose the most unregulated and barbaric industry in America.

"An industry which has resulted in the deaths of hundreds of women with tens of thousands more physically damaged and emotionally wounded.  And, an industry which has killed 55,000,000 innocent children.

"It is hard to imagine, but tattoo parlors have more regulations than abortion clinics and are also inspected more often than abortion clinics in America.

"The Gosnell trial reveals the 'dirty secret' that government officials and the pro-choice movement are more interested in protecting abortion rights than they are the rights and safety of women and their children.

"The time has now come in America to step out of the Middle Ages and embrace a forward thinking agenda the defends human rights, equality and justice for all. The time has come to end abortion."
