Many More Horrors Revealed at Gosnell Trial

As the trial of Kermit Gosnell stretches into its sixth week, the atrocities reported by eyewitness on the stand are horrendous. Volumes can and have been written about each one, but I will touch on highlights here:

• A former staffer testified that Gosnell and his staff once tossed a breathing baby who survived an abortion into a shoe box.
• The same staffer stated that she witnessed at least 10 babies breathing after botched abortions who died when their spinal cords were cut with scissors. She took photos of these children, the filth in the abortion clinic and one of the baby boy tossed into the shoe box.
• Babies were heard moaning or screaming when born alive after the botched abortions and saw babies jump when stabbed.
• Witnesses testified that Gosnell had sub-standard practices, used outdated and filthy equipment, hired people with no medical training, and reused disposable curettes to do abortions.
• Patient records were covered with blood.
• Gosnell showed no remorse over emotional testimony about the overdose death of one of his patients.
• The Pennsylvania Department of Health failed to inspect Gosnell’s clinic for many, many years.

Gosnell is a monster and his story that of which books are written and movies are made. Will Gosnell be convicted? Will anyone expose his practice to the public? Time will tell.
