Abortionist Arrested for Murdering Babies After Birth

I can't say this story totally surprizes me given what I have read over the years about what goes on in these clinics. Some of the worst of the worst was documented in the book Lime 5 that came out in the 90s. Still, just when you think abortionists can't sink any lower there is something like this that comes out.

As I said, this doesn't totally surprize me. If you are able to commit murder before birth, then it is probably easier to just continue killing babies after they are born.

Also, keep him in mind the next time you hear pro-aborts scream about any regulations on abortionists. He isn't the exception, he is the rule they don't want you to know about.

& I found it interesting that the media coverage of this didn't have any comments by abortion industry leaders. You would think they would be tripping over each other to distance themselves from him. But they don't seem to be. Maybe they know they can't claim he is atypical, so they can distance themselves from him? Or defend him either?

Although it was interesting to see some of the comments on the MSNBC page (link below) where people were defending him. Here are 2"

1. " This article offers nothing, and should have been withheld until more information was available. Horrible headline that invites crazies."

Offers nothing??? Did this person NOT read the article, just the headline? Or is he/she so pro-abort that he/she refuses to see the facts?

2. " All the anti-choice people will fall all over themselves with this headline and never see the word "illegal" in the article. The more abortions are made illegal, the more of these atrocities will occur to women and children because women will go to these squalid unregulated places that are willing to do anything." No, us Pro-lifers saw the word illegal. This person failed to note he was breaking all kinds of health laws & that the local regulators didn't do their job. He went far beyond illegal late term abortions. He broke health laws. He committed several murders. This has nothing to do with making more abortions illegal. This has everything to do with the reality of the abortion industry & how it normally operates.

What these people really are doing is trying to create some smoke & mirrors to distract people from the reality of the horrors & who did them.

Abortionist arrested for stabbing newborns to death in clinic

PHILADELPHIA, January 19, 2011 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Philadelphia abortionist Kermit Gosnell has been arrested for the murder of seven newborn children whom he allegedly stabbed to death with scissors following their births in his clinic.
The corpses of the babies were found in a police raid on the clinic in February of 2010, where authorities found what they call a “house of horrors” due to its extremely unsanitary conditions and a gruesome display.
“There were bags and bottles holding aborted fetuses were scattered throughout the building,” District Attorney Seth Williams told the Associated Press. “There were jars, lining shelves, with severed feet that he kept for no medical purpose.”
After testing the fetuses, it was determined that seven of them had been murdered following their births. Gosnell is also charged with third degree murder in the death of a female patient, who died in 2009 after she was allegedly given an overdose of anesthetics.
Gosnell “induced labor, forced the live birth of viable babies in the sixth, seventh, eighth month of pregnancy and then killed those babies by cutting into the back of the neck with scissors and severing their spinal cord,” according to Williams.
Gosnell is suspected of murdering hundreds more newborn babies during his 30 years of practice, according to CBS News, but cannot be charged due to lack of records. He earned over a million dollars a year for his work.
Despite numerous complaints and dozens of lawsuits against Gosnell, including ten malpractice suits, Philadelphia authorities refused to investigate him until last year, when he was suspected of misuse of drugs. He is also charged with performing late-term abortions without a license.
Late term abortions, which are defined as abortions performed after the fifth month of gestation, are legal up to the moment of birth for virtually any reason in the United States.
Late-term unborn children are killed by various means. Some are injected with potassium chloride, the same poison used by the Nazis to euthanize their victims during the Second World War, while others are dismembered with forceps.
If Gosnell had killed his victims before their births, he would not have been subject to murder charges under U.S. law.
