PHILADELPHIA, April 23, 2013 (LifeSiteNews.com) Kermit Gosnell's defense attorney argued today that it was ludicrous for an abortion clinic worker to believe a baby was alive simply because she saw it moving.
Attorney Jack McMahon told the court Gosnell's former employee saw only a baby's final, involuntary movements, not any signs of life.
If we are going in this room to say a baby is born alive, because it moves one time without any other movement, that is ludicrous, McMahon said. This wasnt a baby moving!
Lynda Williams said Gosnell told her the same thing that the breathing she observed was involuntary.
McMahon has maintained that his client snipped baby's necks outside the womb only to assure fetal demise.

What a sicko.
I guess it’s true that there’s a lid for every trash can. Looks like Gosnell found his. What a pair he & his lawyer make.

Lawyers and Democrat if they are moving it does not mean they are alive either. What a moronic lawyer so lets utilize the above analogy, so at the next election we can just declare democrats are not alive so they cannot vote until the next day. They are brain dead so they would not know the difference.

Leftist lawyer got several of the murder charges dropped.
This doesn’t look too good for conviction.

Last time I checked...breathing WAS an involuntary bodily function...to stay alive...

Let's not be too quick to judge.
It was a pretty windy day as I recall.
Flopping around in the wind doesn't make any of us a viable fetus after all.

He still faces several charges that are indefensible. ANY member of a jury with a conscience will not allow anyone to talk them out of a conviction.

Right - so when a lawyer is moving he’s not necessarily alive. I can believe that.

So the baby moved, but it wasn't a baby moving. And the baby's heart was beating, but it wasn't a baby's heart beating. And the baby was breathing, but it wasn't a baby breathing. And the surgical glove doesn't fit, so you must acquit!

First thing abandoned in today's so called Halls Of Justice is Truth. The second thing abandoned is any shread of morality or ethics.
Isaiah 5: v20Destruction is certain for those who say that evil is good and good is evil; that dark is light and light is dark; that bitter is sweet and sweet is bitter. 21Destruction is certain for those who think they are wise and consider themselves to be clever. 22Destruction is certain for those who are heroes when it comes to drinking, who boast about all the liquor they can hold. 23They take bribes to pervert justice. They let the wicked go free while punishing the innocent.
