Former abortion clinic worker James Johnson testified today during the murder trial of Kermit Gosnell and provided jurors with a nauseating account of the horrific conditions at the abortion facility.
Johnson worked as a janitor, maintenance man and plumber of sorts and he was the common-law husband of 51-year-old Elizabeth Hampton, who is herself Gosnell’s wife’s sister. He told jurors some of the morbid details that appear in the grand jury report — including how he threatened to quit working at the abortion clinic because he refused to pull any more flesh from aborted babies out of the plumbing.
His job was to collect abortion remains and take them to basement — but he eventually refused to participate and bags began piling up.
He told the jury toilets backed up one-two times a week and said he opened the outside clean out pipe and fetal parts such as babies’ arms came spilling out.
Johnson said he scooped up body parts with shovel and put them in a bag that was taken to rat infested basement. Johnson said a cat kept at the Gosnell clinic was there to deal with rat infestations that kept happening. He said the at pooped in plants all over clinic.
The Gosnell clinic had a practice of making women dispose of the aborted babies body in the toilet and, as the grand jury report indicated: “[Patients] did not know inducing the labor and severing the spinal cords of live babies was going to happen.”
The report stated that “All afternoon and evening, as patients woke and complained of pain, workers would continue to medicate them with injections of sedatives. Between doses, the staff would leave the patients largely unattended. This would go on until the doctor arrived, some six or more hours after the patient did, or until the woman delivered.”
The abortion could take as long as three days, one staffer admitted in it.
“If … a baby was about to come out, I would take the woman to the bathroom, they would sit on the toilet and basically the baby would fall out and it would be in the toilet,” testified Latosha Lewis, who worked for Gosnell for over eight years. “I would be rubbing her back and trying to calm her down for two, three, four hours until Dr. Gosnell comes. She would not move.”
According to the report, “[Johnson] described how he had to lift the toilet so that someone else—he said it was too disgusting for him—could get the fetuses out of the pipes.”
If the unborn baby hadn’t “fallen out” by the time Gosnell was able to attend to the woman, staff would push and shove on the women’s abdomen.
“By maximizing the pain and danger for his patients, [Gosnell] minimized the work, and cost, for himself and his staff,” states the report. “The policy, in effect, was labor without labor.”
Once delivered, Gosnell or a staffer would cut the spinal cord and then crush the skulls of the babies who were often still alive.
And the left is so enamored of abortion that they think this whole “situation” should be ignored. And the people they say they care about the most are the ones being harmed: poor, black women. The way these women were treated was a form of severe abuse, and the babies were murdered. The left sees this information as inconvenient to their agenda.
I would be willing to bet cash money, that he’s not the worst. Just the worst that’s been caught.
“The city, county, and state health departments and medical boards should be removed and prosecuted.”
Every now and then a woman miscarries and the baby ends up in the storm sewer. As a result people get out of whack until the local ME looks it over and confirms it is indeed a miscarry.
Now with that said how on earth the local sewage treatment center or storm sewers were not backing up with these is just beyond me. Someone had to see and someone had to know.
I may be a stickler, but each and EVERY ONE OF THESE WOMEN paid someone to kill her baby, unborn or newly born, so I have very little if no sympathy whatsoever for any woman who would for a minute enter one of these slaughterhouses to dispose of her own child.
I'm very comfortable with accusing these women of participating in 1st degree murder. The time for sympathy, after over 60,000,000 American children have been slaughtered is OVER!
I can't really find any difference between a someone paying someone to kill someone in a "murder for hire killing" and these women being involved in a "murder for hire killing" of their own flesh and blood.
