Hunter44 Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 How messed up is this? http://apnews.excite.com/article/20110119/D9KRJFSG1.html PHILADELPHIA (AP) - A doctor who provided abortions for minorities, immigrants and poor women in a "house of horrors" clinic has been charged with eight counts of murder in the deaths of a patient and seven babies who were born alive and then killed with scissors, prosecutors said Wednesday. Dr. Kermit Gosnell, 69, made millions of dollars over 30 years, performing as many illegal, late-term abortions as he could, prosecutors said. State regulators ignored complaints about him and failed to inspect his clinic since 1993, but no charges were warranted against them given time limits and existing law, District Attorney Seth Williams said. Nine of Gosnell's employees also were charged. 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," Williams said. Patients were subjected to squalid and barbaric conditions at Gosnell's Women's Medical Society, where Gosnell performed dozens of abortions a day, prosecutors said. He mostly worked overnight hours after his untrained staff administered drugs to induce labor during the day, they said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Post-birth viability is the key for me, though. I'm quite liberal on this issue, but when the baby could feasibly survive on its own (and has, by the looks of it) it becomes murder.

Hence why he's being charged with 7 counts of murder for the babies and 1 count for the mother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunter44 Posted January 19, 2011 Author Share Posted January 19, 2011 Yup, and well deserved. Blech, makes me sick. Totally, and this guy isn't even an abortion doctor. He had 46 malpractice suits filed against him but only now got caught? Someone seriously screwed up here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Special K Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 This is one of those instances where I am really, really grateful that I believe in God because I know He will be the one taking care of business with this "physician" and the innocent victims who were murdered.

nuposse87 Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 I guess thats one way to abort a baby I'm very pro choice, but this guy manipulated people, and should be punished accordingly for how he broke PA law. The fact he kept the fetuses in jars is sign this guy had problems :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 What a way to become a millionaire... Observing: He's (supposedly), an MD. Who made $30K/year, (Or more, since "millions" says "more than a million) providing services to poor and minorities. "Made millions of dollars (over 30 years)" sounds a lot more spectacular.

thebluefood Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 The only other thing I have to say is: this man better repent before the judgment day; or else he will know the agony he caused on Earth ten thousand fold.

Nice catch. There is no way to defend this guy, but making 30k a year is totally different than "making millions." You wonder what else the reporter changed or obscured. :whoknows: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
