PHILADELPHIA, April 8, 2013 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Former abortion worker Sherry West testified that she heard a baby “screaming” and “screeching” during an "abortion" that took place at Kermit Gosnell's “House of Horrors” abortion facility.
The proprietor, Dr. Kermit Gosnell, asked her to help him with something and directed her to another room. There an 18-to-24-inch baby, who did not yet have eyes, was lying in a clear glass pan, she recalled in horror. It was “screeching, making this noise” that “sounded like a little alien," she said. It “really freaked me out,” she said, causing her to leave the room.
Eyewitnesses report that West was clearly shaken by recalling the traumatic event during Gosnell's trial for third-degree murder in Philadelphia this morning.
Gosnell regularly killed babies by delivering them outside the womb, then “snipping” their spinal cords with a pair of scissors.
West, who began working for Gosnell “under the table” in 2007 after having a nervous breakdown, said she called the babies killed at the facility “specimens,” because the terminology made it “easier to deal with mentally.” West had been one of Gosnell's patients.
West testified that Gosnell asked the unqualified employee who administered the fatal dose of medication to 41-year-old immigrant Karnamaya Mongar to lie and say that Gosnell was responsible.
West told prosecutors today that she was trained by Gosnell to administer medication and insert IVs by other employees, including teenagers. She could not pronounce the name of a medication she administered, according to local media reports.
The Women's Medical Society, located at 3801 Lancaster Avenue in West Philadelphia, has been branded a “House of Horrors” for unsanitary conditions that included flea-infested cats defecating on recliners where post-abortive women recovered, unsterilized medical equipment transmitting STDs between patients, and jars of aborted fetal parts.
Many of the babies he killed were well beyond the state of Pennsylvania's 24-week limit. Former employee Kareema Cross testified that Gosnell joked one of the babies was big enough to “walk me to the bus stop.”
Gosnell is on trial for third-degree murder and faces the death penalty. His lawyer, Jack McMahon, has attempted to play the race card by denouncing the prosecution of Gosnell, who is black, as “elitist and racist” and “a prosecutorial lynching.”
West plead guilty to third-degree murder in October 2011, as well as to delivering drugs that resulted in death, conspiracy and participating in a corrupt organization.
She is testifying as part of a plea bargain. West could face 70-100 years in prison on those charges.
I hope it haunts her for the rest of her life. She deserves it.
18-24 inch long baby, that did not yet have eyes?
Anyone here who remembers the length of their children at birth, will know that’s a lie.
Could you imagine having an abortion by this fiend, then working there... then seeing and hearing that baby?
Shudder.
Lord have mercy, even though we deserve it less than anyone.
Pray for the repentence and conversion of America.
Honestly, the more I think about it, I think her mind made that baby’s eyes disappear. Maybe as a way of coping? The thing that makes us love humans and animals alike, are eyes. She wiped out his eyes to save her sanity. Although, not working there would have probably helped with that.

Full term babies are about twenty inches long, 24 inches would be huge, and they all have eyes unless they are afflicted with some dreadful deformity.
Perhaps this witness is so traumatized by what she has seen and done that her memories are faulty...but I would have a hard time discerning the truth of her statements if I were on the jury.
how could any of these animals ever be forgiven?
Oh my God! It was not screeching like an alien, he/she was crying like a baby. I am sick to my stomach and just want to cry. I would say “what have we become”, but I am afraid I already know the answer to that question.
Lord have mercy!
I was thinking that she put forth a “justification” for the killing of the baby.. i.e. a deformity. In her mind, it relieves part of the “guilt”. The fact that she defined a newborn’s baby’s crying as “alien”... says a lot to me.
The USSR was the first nation to legalize abortion in the 1920s. We (the U.S.) were late to the game. Currently, Russia & China lead the world in the abortion rate, and I have read from several sources where 50,000 babies are killed every day in China. Here in the U.S., the daily death toll is 3,000 - the equivalent of a 9/11 every day. Where’s the outcry? We do not deserve God’s Mercy.
In 1917, Our Lord’s Blessed Mother appeared to three poor shephard children in Fatima, Portugal. She warned that Russia would spread her errors around the world. I believe that we are seeing that in numerous ways, abortion being one of them since it was first legal in the USSR.
Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God, that we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
It didn’t scream like a little alien. It screamed like a baby who was being killed.
“However, how did a baby that 18 to 24 inches not have eyes yet?”
If the baby really didn’t have eyes, then this defect could have been the reason for the abortion. Or maybe she simply exagerrated.
This is pure evil, but how can an 18-24 inch baby ‘not yet have any eyes’??
No, I certainly will not. I oppose abortion in every legal way possible.
Freaked you out? This sin is so abominable it cries out for God's WRATH. The inhumanity of those involved in such a horror can only come from the most evil source: SATAN HIMSELF (who is wringing his hands in evil pleasure.)
If this was on the evening news, everybody would be up in arms about it and gun controls would be off the radar.
There is a concerted effort to push an agenda and it needs to be front page news everywhere.
This is disgusting and shameful.
I was watching FOX last night and heard no mention of the there either. Granted, it was Margret Thacher day yesterday, but this story needs to be exposed.

Defect? So blind people are a “defect?” Are you legitimizing this abortion on the off-chance the baby had no eyes?
Sick. There is no reason EVER to abort a human baby.
