Dr. Kermit Gosnell (in photo above) is on trial for murdering one woman, and seven infants! That's 7 babies! What started out being an unthinkable bizarre case is quickly gaining notoriety because the media has discovered the appalling details in this case.
There are several strories about this horrific doctor performing atrocious late term abortions.
Opinions vary on what this case means for abortion in this country, for sure, upon reading these articles, Gosnell clearly practiced dangerous illegal late term abortions.
He often displayed blatant prejudices against women of color, and allowed incompetent staff to perform medical acts that endangered the patients. Gosnell and staff kept the facilities disgustingly unsanitary, used antiquated equipment to pass venereal diseases, perforated wombs and bowels and used dangerous drugs to over medicate patients.

And those are just a few of the egregious practices committed.
The most heinous of all acts Gosnell committed was the killing of premature fetuses, in some cases babies that were alive. Gosnell would instruct or commit himself the act of "snipping", in which he would literally use scissors to sever the infant's spinal cords!
No matter your stance on abortion, this is without doubt, the most reprehensible and criminal of all acts committed by Gosnell!
Reading the details of the atrocities committed are heart breaking! It's unconscionable any person with a shred humanity could willingly commit those acts.
It seems Gosnell committed these acts for years with impunity without any implications from local health officials or local law authorities.

What's extremely disheartening is how these women were treated, cast aside and forgotten because of their skin color and their soci-economic status.
And after all that, Gosnell has been accused of, he plead not guilty! Unbelievable!

Well it is amazing that he was allowed to do all of this without anyone saying anything. I will read more on it to see if he primarily did these procedures on women of color. I'm curious if he had white clients and what their experiences were. Is this a case of a doctor who disregarded the women because of their color or because he was just a hack, incompetent doctor. We can't say he targeted the women because they came to him. I'm curious as to how they made their way to him. The question is, are the authorities disregarding his work because the women were primarily of color. Thanks for sharing this.
Oh man this is sick people really need to check their Doctors background but at the same time why would you even continue after seeing his work environment. I guess its just desperation .
