Preying on low-income women

Are you following the trial of Dr. Kermit Gosnell, which began on March 13? Wikpedia lists the murder charges against him in his operation of a Pennsylvania abortion clinic, but also lists allegations that he prescribed hundreds of thousands of highly addictive pills:

Gosnell, with the assistance of his staff, distributed and dispensed more than 500,000 pills containing oxycodone, more than 400,000 pills containing alprazolam, and more than 19,000 ounces of cough syrup containing codeine.

From June 2008 through February 18, 2010, Gosnell allegedly engaged in a continuing criminal enterprise by writing and dispensing fraudulent prescriptions for thousands of pills of the frequently-abused tablets OxyContin, Percocet, and Xanax, and the frequently-abused syrups Phenergan and Promethazine with Codeine. Authorities further allege that Gosnell and his staff allowed customers to purchase multiple prescriptions under multiple names.

What about charges against the bureaucrats who did nothing?

State officials have failed to visit or inspect his abortion clinic since 1993.[5]
