Kermit Gosnell, a Philadelphia abortion doctor who was convicted in 2013 of killing three babies who were born alive in a case that made nationwide headlines, has died. He was 85.

Pennsylvania Department of Corrections spokesperson Maria Bivens said Gosnell died March 1 at a hospital outside the prison system. He had most recently been incarcerated at the State Correctional Institution-Smithfield, about 60 miles south of Pittsburgh. A cause of death was not disclosed.

Gosnell was serving a life sentence for first-degree murder of the newborns as well as involuntary manslaughter in the drug overdose death of a patient who had undergone an abortion at his West Philadelphia clinic known as the “house of horrors.”

Picturing that scene from Ghost, where the black demons arise from the street to ferry away the soul of the departed to burn in Hell.

Probably will eventually alter the images to change the color of the ghosts.

May he spend eternity in hell getting his neck snapped. Do unto you what you did unto others. Satan 1:1

His eternity won’t be so enjoyable.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

The New York Post got the headline wrong. Lead with what he really was. While its true that he was an abortionist. What he really was was a serial killer. A stone-cold, evil monster.

Abortion is murder. Learn it, durn it, Kermit

I would hate to be Kermit right now.
