Kermit B. Gosnell, MD - the Philadelphia Abortionist<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

by Kathleen Gilbert –
\nA massive, photograph-laden Grand Jury Report released Wednesday has detailed the bone-chilling practices of a Philadelphia abortionist, who clinic workers testified had delivered \u201chundreds\u201d of living, breathing newborn children before severing their spinal cords or slitting their necks to complete the abortions.<\/p>\n

Abortionist Kermit Gosnell was arrested Wednesday for eight counts of murder. One of the charges was for the botched-abortion death of 41-year-old Karnamaya Mongar, a Nepalese refugee. The other seven were for children who police had discovered, by examining their remains, had been born alive and then killed.<\/p>\n

District Attorney R. Seth Williams released the 281-page report that was the basis for the murder charges against Gosnell and nine of his associates. Included in that report were photos of some of Gosnell\u2019s victims.<\/p>\n

In the report, the Grand Jury notes that several agencies and groups became aware of what has become known as Gosnell\u2019s \u201cshop of horrors,\u201d but did nothing. They also provide extremely explicit descriptions of botched abortions, late-term abortions and infanticides rarely seen in court documents.

workers testified Dr. Kermit Gosnell delivered \u201chundreds\u201d of living, breathing newborn children before severing their spinal cords or slitting their necks to complete the abortions.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/p>\n

\u201cPennsylvania law requires physicians to provide customary care for living babies outside the womb. Gosnell chose instead to slit their necks and store their bodies in various household containers, as if they were trash,\u201d stated the report.<\/p>\n

The report provided detailed testimony from clinic staff who said that \u201ckilling large, late-term babies who had been observed breathing and moving was a regular occurrence\u201d at the filthy clinic: one staffer said such events happened \u201chundreds\u201d of times.<\/p>\n

Another clinic worker, Tina Baldwin, told the jurors that Gosnell once joked about a baby that was writhing as he cut its neck: \u201cthat\u2019s what you call a chicken with its head cut off.\u201d <\/p>\n

According to clinic worker Kareema Cross, Gosnell resorted to regularly killing babies after birth because he was not skilled enough to kill the baby in utero with a digoxin injection, a usual means of late-term abortion.<\/p>\n

The report noted that one unlicensed worker at the clinic attempted to justify Gosnell\u2019s practice of cutting of the newborns\u2019 spinal cords as a \u201cpartial-birth abortion.\u201d The Grand Jury concluded that the two procedures were different, however, because sucking the brains out of the baby\u2019s head in a partial-birth abortion occurred while the head was still inside the mother, and thus served to make delivery of the evacuated head easier, whereas Gosnell\u2019s victims were killed \u201cwhen there was clearly no need or medical reason to collapse the skull.\u201d<\/p>\n

The day after the death of Karnamaya Mongar, Gosnell had applied for membership to the National Abortion Federations, but failed to meet its requirements. Even though an NAF staff person spent several days in Gosnell\u2019s abortion mill noting numerous violations, they failed to report him to the proper authorities, notes the document.<\/p>\n

\u201cDespite his various efforts to fool her, the evaluator from NAF readily noted that records were not properly kept, that risks were not explained, that patients were not monitored, that equipment was not available, that anesthesia was misused,\u201d states the report. \u201cOf course, she rejected Gosnell\u2019s application. She just never told anyone in authority about all the horrible, dangerous things she had seen.\u201d<\/p>\n

While saying that \u201cbureaucratic inertia is not exactly news,\u201d the jurors said, \u201cWe think the reason no one acted is because the women in question were poor and of color, because the victims were infants without identities, and because the subject was the political football of abortion.\u201d<\/p>\n

The group also had a stern rebuke for regulatory organizations who looked the other way, giving their stamp of approval to his criminal practices.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The pro-life watchdog group Operation Rescue called for massive reforms in the way abortionists and abortion clinics are handled by regulatory agencies nationwide. Kermit Gosnell\u2019s shop of horrors, they said, is certainly not the only abortion mill of this kind in operation in America.<\/p>\n

\u201cOperation Rescue calls for immediate emergency inspections of every abortion clinic in the nation. We have often said that if this were to ever happen, no abortion clinic would remain in operation because we have yet to discover one that adheres to all the laws that apply to them,\u201d said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs the 38th memorial of Roe v. Wade approaches, it is time for Americans to consider the horrors of abortion and demand that government abolish this barbaric practice forever.\u201d<\/p>\n
