Two Clinic Workers Plead Guilty to Murder in Philadelphia Abortion Case
Fox News ^ | Oct 27, 2011 | AP

PHILADELPHIA – A pair of abortion clinic workers pleaded guilty Thursday to third-degree murder in two deaths at a Philadelphia clinic where seven babies were allegedly killed with scissors and a woman died from a drug overdose.

Andrea Moton admitted her involvement in the death of one baby. Sherry West pleaded guilty in the February 2009 death of Karnamaya Mongar, a Bhutanese immigrant. Neither women had formal training to work at the clinic in Philadelphia run by Dr. Kermit Gosnell.

Gosnell and nine employees, including his wife, were charged earlier this year after a gory grand jury report detailed the conditions at the West Philadelphia clinic where Gosnell allegedly performed illegal late-term abortions and babies born alive were killed by having scissors stabbed into their necks to sever their spinal cords.

Gosnell has denied the allegations.

Philadelphia District Attorney Seth Williams called the clinic a "house of horrors" in announcing the charges in January.

Moton, who knew Gosnell through his niece, worked evenings to assist with abortions, but, like the others, had no relevant training or license. She assisted with procedures and cut the spinal cords of aborted babies.

Moton and West each pleaded guilty to related charges, including taking part in a corrupt organization.

West, 52, of Newark, Del., was charged with third-degree murder, drug delivery causing death, illegally performing an abortion after 24 weeks, conspiracy, participating in a corrupt organization, evidence tampering and other charges. She has been in custody since her January arrest on $2 million bail.

Given that this "clinic" existed for the sole purpose of killing babies, I'm surprised that it was only seven.

The sentence is poorly written. What the writer is saying is that they plead guilty in two deaths and there were eight deaths (seven babies and one patient) at the clinic.

What’s sad is that those seven babies are the ones the DA can document. No doubt there were hundreds more.

Thgose seven ere the ones the DA could document. There would have been hundreds more given how long the clinic operated, but they can’t prove it in court.

If a jury and a judge believe the stuff in the indictment or anything approaching it happened, this guy will never see the outside of a prison again.

The people that did this should go straight to hell. If they do indeed end up there, their hell should be living those babies last moments over and over again! They should have to experience getting their spinal cords cut for all eternity.

On a side note, I thought that Roe vs. Wade was supposed to make abortion safe and legal.

This is evil! If you ever wanted to know what it looked like in the flesh, this is it.

There’s another political cartoon I saw of Obama standing next to a dumpster full to the brim with the bloody bodies of babies. I forget the caption or the details but the image sure stuck in my mind.

Baby Killer In Chief
