When Davida Johnson walked into Dr. Kermit Gosnell's clinic to get an abortion in 2001, she saw what she described as dazed women sitting in dirty, bloodstained recliners. As the abortion got under way, she had a change of heart but claims she was forced by the doctor to continue.
"I said, 'I don't want to do this,' and he smacked me. They tied my hands and arms down and gave me more medication," Johnson told The Associated Press.
Johnson, then 21, had a 3-year-old daughter when she became pregnant again. She said she first went to Planned Parenthood in downtown Philadelphia but was frightened away by protesters.
"The picketers out there, they just scared me half to death," Johnson, now 30, recalled this week.
Someone sent her to Gosnell's West Philadelphia clinic, at the Women's Medical Society, saying anti-abortion protesters wouldn't be a problem there. She said she paid him $400 cash.
A few months after the abortion, she began to have gynecological problems. An examination revealed venereal disease. She blames Gosnell, 69, for the lifelong illness, which she declined to identify, and for the four miscarriages she has subsequently suffered.
Johnson learned last week that Philadelphia prosecutors believe Gosnell frequently delivered late-term babies alive at his clinic, then severed their spines with scissors, and often stored the fetal bodies along with staff lunches in refrigerators at the squalid facility. Tiny baby feet, prosecutors said, were discovered in specimen jars, lined up in a macabre collection.

I agree with you 100%.
I have just recently seen this being hijacked from the facts of major malpractice and sheer evil to “and this is why we need better funding and decent medical care for the poor”.
An interesting aside,it was 1967 when Colorado became the first state to make abortion a medical procedure.
Poetic justice. She murders the child God gave her. HE won’t allow her to have anymore.
Yes, the only “medical procedure” in which a successful outcome is the death of a patient.
If you read the grand jury report, multiple women woke with slap marks on their lower extremities & the clinic staff testified that this “doctor” routinely beat patients who changed their minds and tried to leave.
Also, other physicians & ER personnel testified that thedirty instruments used in this clinic passed the sane strains of gonorrhea & chlamydia to multitudes of patients.
oh well - they’ve come up with another “solution”
Force med students to participate in this type of “medicine” as part of their training.
Thereby killing their souls and conscience.
I’m not excusing women who decide to abort but one does need to realize their state of mind in a crisis pregnancy. Often, they’re distraught & feel they have no way out. Still, abortion is wrong & they should not be allowed to kill their own child.
However, I think this case proves and substantiatestestimony of prior clinic workers & doctors that reveal how this industry preys on these emotionally vulnerable women. The conditions inside these clinics are often unsafe and unsanitary as it is an industry driven by money and with very little oversight. For some reason the pro-abortion lobby has succeeded in preventing abortion clinics from being held to the same standards as ambulatory surgery clinics. I hope this case exposes that, results in a public outcry, and gets the ball rolling tirades an outlaw of all abortions in the U.S.
I’m sorry about your ex’s friend. I remember all women suffering the pain of abortion in my nightly prayers. I do hope that God helps her heal.
I bet they do check regular clinics - but not abortion clinics.
Abortion clinics are special.
It’s the only place your teenage daughter can go without your knowledge or permission and receive “treatement” without your consent.
Women who have had abortions should never be allowed to produce another child. Let them be sterile and quit whining.
“... lady, take a good look at yourself. See a problem?”
Agreed. Why is she so concerned about four miscarriages since her late term murder? Were those pregnancies any more “special” as the one where she allowed/permitted/paid for a so called doctor to kill her child?
One Gosnell or a hundred. How many does it take to kill an unborn child? One is too many.
OMG, I’m only up to page 47 and want to die!
I read it. It’s disgusting isn’t it? Nothing has e ER shocked my soul or rocked me to the core like that report. I hope nothing ever does.
I am now up to page 54. These people did not commit murder....THEY COMMITED EVIL ACTS OVER AND OVER AGAIN AND SHOULD BE DELT WITH ACCORDINGLY.
For those people who do not believe evil literally exists in this world should read this indictment. IT IS PURE EVIL.
I am sickened.
And every agency who KNEW about what was going on and did NOTHING should also be TERMINATED as well.
I could only make it up to page 111. I saved it for later reading.....once I am done crying over the evil these monsters performed on innocents.
