PHILADELPHIA — Abortion provider Kermit Gosnell was convicted Monday of three counts of first-degree murder for severing the spinal cords of infants born during abortions at his West Philadelphia clinic.
Gosnell also was convicted of involuntary manslaughter in the 2009 death of 41-year-old Virginia woman Karnamaya Mongar, who died from an overdose of drugs while undergoing an abortion at the clinic. Prosecutors described the clinic as a “house of horrors” because of the unsanitary conditions and unsafe practices that defined it.
The trial now moves into a sentencing phase to decide whether Gosnell should receive the death penalty or face life in prison on the capital murder counts.

OP
We need to make an example of this guy. Show that legit abortion providers are nothing like him.

unless Gosnell was "found" in the men's room.

the Digital Photography, while in the men's room.

(13,390 posts)9. These cases of unregulated clinics is a cautionary tale
of what we would see if Roe v Wade were to be overturned. Only, there might be less sympathy if it is women dying as opposed to newborn infants.
