Abortion Doctor Arrested for Murder of Woman, Seven Babies

Topics: Abortion, Political News and commentaries

Dr. Kermit Gosnell faces eight counts of murder in the deaths of a woman following a botched abortion at his office, along with the deaths of seven other babies who, prosecutors allege, were born alive following illegal late-term abortions and then were killed with scissors:

Michelle Malkin aptly calls Dr. Gosnell's actions pure, monstrous evil that was ignored for decades by state regulators:

An abortion doctor killed hundreds of babies by cutting their spinal cords with scissors after removing them from mothers late in their pregnancies, prosecutors said on Wednesday.

Philadelphia District Attorney Seth Williams charged Dr. Kermitt Gosnell, 69, and nine associates with eight counts of murder, following a year-long investigation by a grand jury, whose report was unveiled on Wednesday.

The defendants are charged with first-degree murder in the cases of seven babies for which there is substantial evidence, Williams said.

Hundreds of other babies are likely to have died in Gosnell's West Philadelphia clinic, which he operated from 1979 to 2010, Williams said.

A third-degree murder charge stemmed from the death of a mother who died from an overdose of anesthetics, he said.

"My comprehension of the English language can't adequately describe the barbaric nature of Dr. Gosnell," Williams said at a news conference.

And as Michelle points out, the victims were largely poor, minority mothers and their babies ... and Gabriel Malor's chilling question indeed answers itself: "Do you really believe that just this one facility went unregulated for fifteen years?"
