Teen intern at Gosnell clinic recalls hearing aborted fetus 'screeching'
Philadelphia Inquirer ^ | 04/12/2013 | Joseph A. Slobodzian

At the time, it must have seemed like the ultimate work-study program.

Ashley Baldwin, a 15-year-old sophomore at University City High School who was thinking of becoming a doctor, got a job at one of the busiest clinics in West Philadelphia.

She was paid, and in no time went from answering phones to doing ultrasounds, administering intravenous medicine, and, ultimately, assisting in abortions performed by her mentor, Kermit Gosnell.

Now 22 and the mother of a 2-year-old son, Baldwin on Thursday told a Philadelphia Common Pleas Court jury hearing Gosnell's murder trial of her unusual hands-on medical apprenticeship.

Baldwin also told the jury about seeing at least five aborted babies moving, breathing, and, in one case, "screeching" after late-term procedures at the clinic at 3801 Lancaster Ave.

She’ll never be able to escape the sounds of that baby crying - the sounds will follow her to her grave. Horrible.

A blob of tissue can’t screech can it?

This story really disturbed me. I cannot unread what I’ve read. Wish I could. Lock Gosnell up for life. If those screeches didn’t cause him to rethink his ways, he is a cold-blooded murderer of the WORST kind.

A totally untrained teenager assisting in and performing medical procedures? The reason they had her do this is most likely that they abortion clinic was too niggardly to hire an educated, trained, and qualified person.

To his credit, Sean Hannity has been very vocal about this story.

"They looked just like regular babies," Baldwin said.

Ya think that maybe that's because they WERE regular babies?

That evidence came many years ago. This is evidence that we’re on our own.

God never allowed this in our nation until now. This is unheard of evil. He who now letteth will let until he be taken out of the way. Google it.

Ever notice how we always implore G-d to 'bless America', but you rarely hear the call for America to bless G-d...
