PHILADELPHIA (AP) A former abortion clinic worker capped the five-week murder trial of her former boss with powerful testimony that she saw more than 10 babies breathe before they were killed.
"I thought they were breathing," Kareema Cross testified Thursday, explaining that she saw their chests go up and down. "He would say they're not really breathing," Cross, 28, is the final prosecution witness in the capital murder case against Dr. Kermit Gosnell. He is charged in the deaths of a patient and seven babies allegedly born alive.
Cross also described seeing three babies move, one after being born in a toilet, and heard a fourth give a "soft whine."
Cross, who worked at the clinic from 2005 to 2009, was so disturbed by its operation that she took photos and called authorities, although she gave a relative's name.
A 2011 grand jury report blasts state and city officials for failing to inspect or shutter Gosnell's busy clinic in West Philadelphia. A 2010 FBI raid over Gosnell's separate pain management practice ultimately led to its closure.
The defense has denied that babies were born alive, and Cross is sure to face strenuous questioning Thursday afternoon from Gosnell's lawyer, Jack McMahon. Her direct testimony encompassed many of the charges against Gosnell and nine co-defendants.
She admitted that she studied only to be a medical assistant, but performed ultrasounds, gave anesthesia drugs and helped perform abortions.
She said she routinely saw Gosnell abort babies who were past the state's 24-week abortion limit. She said staff left late-term patients alone on the second floor after they'd been given painkillers and potent drugs to induce labor, and said some even stayed overnight unattended in a makeshift bedroom.

The public has its head up its a$$, as always, and is unaware of what is going on.
liberals call that a womans reproductive right.
I really can’t take reading much more of this testimony. It’s like a European Jew being forced to relive the Holocaust.
Taliban throws acid in girls’ face, and apparently we SNIP them:
We’re better...?
A person is created at conception and killing a person is murder. What argument do abortionists offer against this?
Ping.
Screaming invective, profanity, threats... and if you make the argument in the wrong location, arrest and imprisonment.
If they could, they would have anyone who disagrees shot.
The Marxist Democrat City of Philadelphia, as well as the State of Pennsylvania, is DIRECTLY complicit in this mass murder for failure to take action and by being purposely negligent in preventing these atrocities. It can probably be proven that they knew what was going on.
“....I saw 10 babies breathe”
.
Planning the family.
Thanks for posting...In a bunch of yours and others I’ve been encouraging the Catholic media to send some reporters down to this thing and get the word out about these horrific details comming out at this trial.
Republicans should pass a law requiring abortions be videotaped.
Republicans should pass a law requiring abortions be videotaped.
Why not, if they can defend the killing of innocents?
liberals (Satan’s Spawn) call that a woman’s reproductive right.
I could only imagine it's something along the lines of, "'Created'? Keep your effin' religion out of it. A fetus is a fetus until it can survive outside the womb. Until then, it's a woman's right to choose what to do with her own body."
Or something equally despicable.
Not if our society continues to tolerate this type of evil. Please, please let someone slip through security and cap that demon.
