PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania, January 20, 2011 (LifeSiteNews.com) - A massive, photograph-laden Grand Jury Report released Wednesday has detailed the bone-chilling practices of a Philadelphia abortionist, who clinic workers testified had delivered “hundreds” of living, breathing newborn children before severing their spinal cords or slitting their necks to complete the abortions.
Abortionist Kermit Gosnell was arrested Wednesday for eight counts of murder. One of the charges was for the botched-abortion death of 41-year-old Karnamaya Mongar, a Nepalese refugee. The other seven were for children who police had discovered, by examining their remains, had been born alive and then killed.
District Attorney R. Seth Williams released the 281-page report that was the basis for the murder charges against Gosnell and nine of his associates. Included in that report were photos of some of Gosnell’s victims.
In the report, the Grand Jury notes that several agencies and groups became aware of what has become known as Gosnell’s “shop of horrors,” but did nothing. They also provide extremely explicit descriptions of botched abortions, late-term abortions and infanticides rarely seen in court documents.
“Pennsylvania law requires physicians to provide customary care for living babies outside the womb. Gosnell chose instead to slit their necks and store their bodies in various household containers, as if they were trash,” stated the report.
The report provided detailed testimony from clinic staff who said that “killing large, late-term babies who had been observed breathing and moving was a regular occurrence” at the filthy clinic: one staffer said such events happened “hundreds” of times.
Another clinic worker, Tina Baldwin, told the jurors that Gosnell once joked about a baby that was writhing as he cut its neck: “that’s what you call a chicken with its head cut off.”

Yeah.
The Left has the world turned on its head.
Partial birth abortion is not illegal. It’s woman’s right.
When folks say that liberalism is a mental disorder I believe that it's quite literally true.
What are you talking about?
Repeal the laws and write new ones banning abortion.
So which ones have tried to attach this guy to the abortion business.
How many TV interviews done, radio interviews, newspaper editorials?
Any hit Fox News? MSNBC would have them one so they could get the opposition to attack them.
I appreciate your list but would rather see the organizations actions.
about 3 months
In my opinion, the only even remotely appropriate and just punishment which society can inflict on a monster who would do such things to its smallest, most innocent, living, breathing human beings, is death by hanging.
Of cousre, I can think of some things I would LIKE to see done to such a person BEFORE the hanging, but they would most likely not pass Constitutional muster...
Are you serious? He did nothing illegal? These babies were born alive, and he killed them. What’s wrong with you? In fact, these babies are alive from the moment of conception.
I get sick at my stomach at the bleeding hearts who get all hyped up over waterboarding a terrorist, but, sanction the killing of the innocent unborn.
I’d hate to face God with this crime on my hands. Maybe abortion is legal, but, its still murder in God’s eyes.
In Jeremiah 1:1, God says, before you were formed in the womb, I knew you. What does this tell you? God is the giver of life.
God help those who commit such atrocities.
Seven of the murder indictments are for babies who were allegedly fully delivered, born alive, were moving and breathing, and who had their spinal cords cut in half by this man’s scissors.
And THAT is illegal even in the hideous realm of ‘late-term’ abortions.
I predict we're going to find out about that, and it will be good for us to know, one way or the other.
Rick Santorum once asked Nancy Pelosi when a baby had a right to live. Could a baby be legally killed if only her foot were inside the birth canal? ... etc. Pelosi refused to answer the question. Wesley Clark said once that a baby was a person when the mother decided the baby was wanted. I believe Barbara Boxer once said it was when the baby was brought home from the hospital.
It's time to bring America face-to-face with what that means. Can a living, viable, healthy baby be killed after birth for no reason except that her mother wants her dead?
If so, what logical, rational reason can be given to limit the killing to within a few hours after birth? Why not permit parents to do away with obstreperous two-year-olds? Why not permit parents to kill their children until they start kindergarten (after that, the government has an investment in their education, and we wouldn't want to throw that away, would we?) ??
If, on the other hand, killing that baby is murder, then it's just as much murder to kill her a few moments before birth when she's in the womb.
It's fascinating to watch the Left try to run away from from the implications of what they support, like cockroaches in a sudden bright light.
He was a monster
"Certainly"? As far as federal law is concerned, a woman has a Constitutional right to have her child killed right up to the moment of birth. The states have some ability to regulate it, but they're hamstrung by court decisions relating to "undue burdens" placed on a woman who wants her child killed.
And don't fool yourselves into thinking that all of us will not get the blame.
Blackdog,
If a girl/woman delivers spontaneously in her home and then smothers her baby, puts it in a garbage bag and discards it in a dumpster, and gets caught, she is indicted for Murder, not Abortion.
This “doctor” induced labor to women in their third trimester. They Delivered Live Babies, who took a breath or many, before the “doctor” cut their spinal cords.
The evidence exists of the bodies recovered from his premises. Autopsies showed that the babies had air in their lungs. They had lived outside the womb and were subsequently killed.
He is guilty of Murder, not the legally allowed procedure of abortion.
“I don’t understand how any human being can perform such acts, but I also don’t understand how any human being can stand around and watch and consider it part of the job.”
It’s simple: these things are not human beings. They are ghouls.
Yes I understand that. I’m wondering how many other abortionists are doing the same type of thing? Or have done the same type of thing. Once you start down that slippery slope of abortion as abortion doctors have. Seems to me you will reach a point where you will be able to justify the killing of any one.
The abortion workers that knew this and yet kept quit and kept working there should be charge as an accessory to murder.
yep!
