At Filthy Clinic, Babies Met an Inhumane End…

Sunday Paper - January 30th, 2011

In his squalid West Philadelphia abortion clinic, Kermit Gosnell had a surefire way of dealing with the unwelcome complication of a live birth: He’d allegedly plunge scissors into the squirming newborn’s neck, killing it by severing the spinal cord.

Sometimes, the elderly physician didn’t do this right away. Often, he allegedly gave the chore to his unlicensed office staff. One premature infant wiggled around on a counter for 20 minutes before an untrained worker slit his neck - after first playing with him.

Those allegations were among countless bombshells in a 261-page grand-jury report that District Attorney Seth Williams released yesterday.

Gosnell killed “hundreds” of babies and at least two women during abortions from 1979 to last year at his Women’s Medical Society at 38th Street and Lancaster Avenue, according to the grand jury. Further, he and his unlicensed, unskilled staff overdosed patients with drugs, perforated their wombs and bowels, and spread venereal disease by using unsterilized equipment, the report said.

And although red flags mounted about wrongdoing at the clinic, those with the capacity to stop the carnage, such as the Pennsylvania Department of Health and Department of State, looked the other way, Williams charged.

Gosnell, 69, and nine of his staffers were arrested yesterday morning on charges including murder, infanticide and abuse of a corpse.

Williams said he might seek the death penalty for Gosnell in the murders of seven babies born alive and then killed.

“My comprehension of the English language doesn’t and cannot adequately describe the barbaric nature of Dr. Gosnell and the ghoulish manner in which he ‘trained’ the unlicensed, uneducated individuals who worked there,” Williams said.
 
The atrocities were discovered by accident.

Police last February raided Gosnell’s offices after reports that he ran a “pill mill” there, giving out prescription medications to anyone who would pay.

Once inside the three-story brick building, they discovered horrors that would haunt them forever.

Semiconscious, moaning women sat in dirty recliners and on bloodstained blankets. The air reeked of urine from the flea-infested cats permitted to roam the clinic. There was blood on the floor and cat feces on the stairs…
