PHILADELPHIA – A Philadelphia abortion doctor convicted of killing three babies who were born alive has agreed to give up his right to an appeal and will be spared a potential death sentence.

Dr. Kermit Gosnell was convicted Monday of first-degree murder in the deaths of the babies who were delivered alive and killed with scissors. The 72-year-old Gosnell gave up his appeal rights Tuesday, and prosecutors agreed to two life sentences without parole.

It is appointed unto man once to die, and then the judgment.

Don’t worry folks, ultimate justice will be served, and soon.

I hope other prisoners get their hands on Gosnell.

Just release him into the general prison population is all I ask.

I’m certain his victims want him to repent (as they are in heaven where everything’s perfect), so it’s the pro-life thing to do, to allow him life in prison. And IF he repented, the devil would be furious. Reason enough to give the guy some time.

So, he's pro-life, after all.

Well, with respect to his own, I mean.

Symbolically I wish he’d gotten death. As a practical matter, he would likely have died even before his appeal was heard anyway.

General population will love you to death.

I wouldn't be suprised if many of those in general population were once suppliers for his business.

The general population doesn’t care about killing new life by about 50%.

That’s the problem.

Prisoners hate child molesters d/t personal experience.

Abortion, convicts, no. I don’t see them caring.

POTUS, when he was in the Ill senate pushed to allow this to go on.

He mad e a speech to Planned Parenthood just last week, while he was in Texas, praising them.

No.

Killing babies and fetuses.

Pshaw.

Gosnell is NOT the only one.

Stats:
Abortions in the United States
Total number of abortions in the U.S. 1973-2011: 54.5 million+

234 abortions per 1,000 live births (according to the Centers for Disease Control)
Abortions per year: 1.2 million
Abortions per day: 3,288
Abortions per hour: 137
9 abortions every 4 minutes
1 abortion every 26 seconds
These statistics include only surgical and medical abortions. Because many contraceptive measures are abortifacients (drugs that induce or cause abortions), it is important not to overlook the number of children killed by chemical abortions. Since 1965, an average of 11 million women have used abortifacient methods of birth control in the United States at any given time. Using formulas based on the way the birth control pill works, pharmacy experts project that about 14 million chemical abortions occur in the United States each year, providing a projected total of well in excess of 610 million chemical abortions between 1965 and 2009.

Completely innocent babies can be killed without the death penalty but let someone take out some government official who more than likely might deserve it and the death penalty comes into play.

We are a 2 class country. The ruling elite and everyone else.

And yet, Planned “Parenthood” gets huffy when you call these “clinics” abortion mills. The stats point to infanticide on an industrial scale...ya know, like a mill.

I know all that. You’re not listening to what I said:

I hope he is put in the general population and is terrified every second of every minute of every hour of every day for the rest of his repugnant life.

What a joke. If his prison sentence doesn’t involve the use of scissors, it’s not punishment enough.

I don’t think he would survive general population. He’s got white blood in him and he killed babies.
