Former Gosnell abortuary employees Adrienne Moton and Sherry West plead guilty to murder

Abortionist Kermit Gosnell potentially faces the death penalty for 8 counts of murder. If he committed the same crime in Canada the powers that be would ensure he would not spend even a night in jail.

When I worked at Aid to Women I got to know about some abortions that went wrong in Toronto. We got photos of an ambulance that showed up at Cabbagetown abortuary, but could not gt any more info on what happened. I counseled the distraught mother of an adult daughter who got an abortion at Morgentaler's "state of the art" tax funded abortuary in Toronto. The daughter nearly bled to death after having her uterus perforated and she was rushed to Sunnybrook hospital in a cab, where they also did emergency surgery to remove the baby's head that was left behind in the botched abortion. To get this stuff out to the wider public is almost impossible, with government and media secrecy protecting Canadian abortionists. Being a baby killer in Canada pays well and if your practice is substandard you will still be nearly guaranteed a job for life in this country. Of course what will happen to you in the next life is another matter. I would no want to stand before Almighty God with so much innocent blood on my hands.

And their daughters to demons,
And shed innocent blood,

And the land was polluted with blood."

Workers at ‘House of Horrors’ abortion clinic plead guilty to murder

October 26, 2011 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Two former employees of late-term abortionist Kermit Gosnell have pled guilty to 3rd degree murder charges for their roles in the deaths of an abortion patient and one baby born alive during a failed late-term abortion.

This is reportedly the first time that an abortion worker has been found guilty of murder for killing a baby.

Former Gosnell employee Adrienne Moton admitted her part in the murder of one baby. Another employee, Sherry West, pled guilty for helping to drug abortion client Karanaya Mongar to death during a botched abortion. Neither women had any medical training or licensing.

The pair also pled guilty to lesser charges, including participating in a corrupt organization.

Gosnell, who ran an abortion facility in Philadelphia that has been dubbed a “House of Horrors,” has been charged with eight counts of murder, including of seven newborn babies and one client, and is awaiting trial. Moton and West may testify against him as part of their plea agreement.

According to testimony by former employees, Gosnell and his assistants killed “hundreds” of newborn babies by severing their spinal cords rather than killing them in the womb, because the abortionist was too unskilled to administer the lethal injection in utero.

After news of the conditions in the clinic broke earlier this year, “scores” of women stepped forward to tell their horror stories of forced abortions and abysmally poor care at the hands of Gosnell and his employees.

Investigators who raided the facility had found that the abortion equipment itself was broken, dirty, and rusty; downstairs, the dismembered remains of newborn and nearly-born children were stuffed into jars, bags, milk jugs, and cat food containers. Others shared space in a refrigerator-freezer with employees’ lunches.

Upon entering the building, investigators were hit by the stench of cat urine and the sight of drugged and moaning women lying on blood-stained blankets. Flea-ridden cats defecated freely on the bloodied floors.

A Grand Jury report in January detailed testimony from clinic staff who said that “killing large, late-term babies who had been observed breathing and moving was a regular occurrence” at the filthy clinic: one staffer said such events happened “hundreds” of times. Another clinic worker, Tina Baldwin, told the investigators that Gosnell once joked about a baby that was writhing as he cut its neck: “that’s what you call a chicken with its head cut off.”

That same Grand Jury report had issued scathing indictments of both the Pennsylvania Department of Health and the Department of State for turning a blind eye to the clinic. The report said the government agencies had allowed the clinic to wallow in filth for years, and ignored several complaints lodged against the abortionist, while allowing his official record to remain clean.

“As disturbing as this case is, we know that what went on at Gosnell’s abortion mill is little different than what goes on at late-term abortion mills around the country,” said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman in response to the news.

“We look forward to a full airing of the evidence in a court of law so Americans can come face to face with the atrocity of abortion. Maybe if we finally have a public airing of the truth about what goes on inside abortion clinics, American will stop tolerating the barbaric, unnecessary, and outdated practice. This case serves as a warning to abortionists who break the law. Sooner or later you will get caught.”

2 plead guilty in Gosnell abortions case

October 28, 2011|
By Marie McCullough, Inquirer Staff Writer
http://articles.philly.com/2011-10-28/n ... -late-term

Two women who worked for doctor Kermit Gosnell pleaded guilty Thursday to third-degree murder in connection with deaths at his West Philadelphia abortion clinic, called a "baby charnel house" by prosecutors.

Adrienne Moton, 34, of Upper Darby, admitted to killing a baby delivered alive. Sherry West, 52, of Philadelphia, pleaded guilty in the death of a 41-year-old immigrant who was given a lethal overdose of painkillers and anesthesia.

The two women also pleaded guilty to related charges, including taking part in a corrupt organization.

Common Pleas Court Judge Benjamin Lerner set sentencing for December. While emphasizing that he has discretion, he said the maximum sentence was 120 years for Moton's offenses and 140 years for West's.

Their pleas are only a small chapter in a lurid story that has made international headlines since Gosnell and nine employees - including his wife, Pearl - were arrested in January, almost a year after authorities raided and shut down his Lancaster Avenue facility. They found a filthy, poorly equipped labyrinth littered with bags and jars of fetal remains.

The doctor, 70, is in jail, charged with eight counts of murder in the deaths of the woman and seven babies. Seven employees, charged with various offenses, are awaiting a joint trial with him.

Moton, who took part in Thursday's hearing via a video feed from prison, added a bit of drama to the otherwise-straightforward proceedings. Asked by Assistant District Attorney Joanne Pescatore whether she was admitting to having killed "a live baby," Moton hesitated and asked to speak with her lawyer, Thomas McGill.

The courtroom was emptied while they conferred. Fifteen minutes later, the hearing resumed. Moton replied: "Yes, your honor," when the judge asked if she was pleading guilty to murdering a newborn referred to as "Baby D" in the grand jury's investigative report.

That 260-page report, released in January, said that Moton and West - like the rest of Gosnell's medical staff - were not formally trained or licensed for their jobs.

Moton, who knew Gosnell through his niece, assisted with abortions and followed Gosnell's practice of using scissors to cut the spinal cords of late-term fetuses, the report said.

Like many newborns, Baby D was delivered by a woman who spent hours in labor over a toilet, one of Moton's coworkers, Kareema Cross, told the grand jury.

"The baby was moving and looked like it was swimming," said Cross, who was not charged. "Moton reached into the toilet, got the baby out, and cut its neck."

West, who had been one of Gosnell's family-practice patients for 35 years, was hired in October 2008. She had lost her job at the Philadelphia VA Medical Center "after being diagnosed with hepatitis C," the report said.

It alleged that she did ultrasound examinations, administered anesthesia, and monitored women in the recovery room - all without wearing gloves to protect patients from exposure to hepatitis C.

The woman who died at the clinic, Karnamaya Mongar, had come to the United States from a refugee camp in Nepal only four months earlier. After she was overdosed with sedatives and lost consciousness, she spent more than three hours in the recovery room before an ambulance was called, the grand jury concluded.

Then, it took the paramedics 20 minutes to maneuver a stretcher through the narrow, cluttered hallways and a padlocked emergency door.

The medical examiner ruled Mongar's death a homicide, Pescatore, the prosecutor, said Thursday in court.

After the proceeding, West's court-appointed lawyer, Michael Wallace, said she "quite possibly" may testify against Gosnell.

"She was in need of money" when she took the job, Wallace said. "I think she probably didn't realize the significance of what she was doing."

Here is testimony from some of the victims who survived....

Victims say abortion doctor scarred them for life
By DANA DiFILIPPO
Philadelphia Daily News
difilid@phillynews.com

Image
Davida Clarke Johnson, with her husband Bobby Johnson, says she contracted a venereal disease from the unsanitary conditions at the abortion mill Kermit Gosnell is charged with operating.


FIFTEEN-YEAR-OLD Robyn Reid didn’t want an abortion. But when her grandmother forcibly took her to an abortion clinic one wintry day in 1998, Reid figured she’d just tell the doctor her wishes and then sneak away.

Instead, Kermit Gosnell barked: “I don’t have time for this!” He then ripped off her clothes, spanked her, wrestled her onto a dirty surgical stretcher, tied her flailing arms and legs down and pumped sedatives into her until she quit screaming and lost consciousness, she told theDaily News yesterday.

Nicole Gaither got an abortion from Gosnell in 2001. After four days, she said, the pain was so bad she could barely walk. She returned to the clinic, where, she said Gosnell blithely told her he’d left fetal remains in her.

“Stand up! It don’t hurt that bad!” he yelled at her, she said, before suctioning – without any medication – her insides.

In 2001, Davida Johnson changed her mind about aborting her 6-month fetus after seeing Gosnell’s dazed, bloodied patients in his recovery room, she said. But in the treatment room, Gosnell’s staffers ignored her protests, smacked her, tied her arms down and sedated her into unconsciousness, she said. She awoke no longer pregnant.

Weeks later, she said, she was diagnosed with a venereal disease that she believes she contracted from unsterilized equipment Gosnell used. Now, she can’t carry a baby to term and said she has miscarried four times since her abortion.

One day after a grand jury issued a hefty report charging Gosnell with eight counts of murder stemming from his West Philadelphia practice, Reid, Gaither, Johnson and other women stepped forward yesterday to share stories of horrors they had hidden for years, unaware that they were part of a sisterhood of suffering.

“It was my first – and last – abortion. I didn’t know it [Gosnell's treatment of her] wasn’t OK,” said Gaither, now 38, of Southwest Philadelphia.

Reid said she tried to report Gosnell.
“I called all kinds of 1-800 numbers, abortion hot lines. Not one person I talked to could give me any advice on what to do about the doctor,” said Reid, now 28, of Northeast Philadelphia. “I was 15; I didn’t know what else to do.”

That Gosnell was able to practice so long, leaving such a wide wake of misery, is no surprise to some of his former patients. Abortion, some say, carries such a stigma that they were too ashamed to report their alleged mistreatment.

“A woman getting an abortion, to some people, that’s not accepted. I didn’t want to go to the wrong person and get treated like trash,” said Johnson, now 30, of North Philadelphia.

Gosnell, 69, was denied bail at his arraignment yesterday and did not have an attorney to comment on the accusations from the former patients.

He opened his Women’s Medical Society at 38th Street and Lancaster Avenue in 1979. Although he was not certified as an obstetrician or gynecologist, he performed thousands of abortions over the years, “specializing” in illegal late-term abortions and killing hundreds of viable babies, the grand jury alleged.

But instead of using traditional abortion methods, Gosnell preferred to induce labor, according to the grand jury. That occasionally resulted in live births, a complication that the doctor would handle by stabbing scissors into the newborn’s neck to sever its spinal cord, the grand jury charged.

He kept grisly souvenirs of some abortions, chopping off fetuses’ feet and preserving them in jars in the clinic’s basement, the report said.

Gaither, who was about five months pregnant when she had her abortion, shudders when she wonders whether Gosnell kept any macabre mementos from her experience there.

After reading about the atrocities attributed to him, some former patients feel lucky that they didn’t end up in the hospital or worse. Still, they remained scarred, even after all this time.

“I don’t believe in the death penalty, even though I have an uncle who was murdered,” Reid said. “But I think Dr. Gosnell is a monster. I think he enjoys it. That was his excitement for that day: ‘I got to tie a girl down!’ He ruined my life. If he got the death penalty, not only would I support it, I would show up to watch it.”

A seven month old unborn child had his head and arm ripped off by an abortionist like Gosnell. In Canada this procedure is perfectly legal and tax funded.

Abortionist pleads guilty to murder after killing dozens of newborns at ‘House of Horrors’ clinic

Abortionist Steve Massof

by John Jalsevac

November 3, 2011
(LifeSiteNews.com) – A medical school graduate who admitted to severing the spinal cords of around 100 living and breathing newborn babies at Philadelphia’s notorious “House of Horrors” abortion clinic, has plead guilty to two counts of third-degree murder.

Although Steven Massof never had his medical license, that didn’t stop Dr. Kermit Gosnell, the owner of the Philadelphia clinic, from hiring him as an abortionist, and introducing him to his staff and clients as “Dr. Steve.”

The murder charges stem from Massof’s role assisting at two “abortions” where the babies were born alive (in one case Massof testified that he saw the baby’s leg “jerk and move”) only to have their spines promptly snipped by Gosnell.

However, those two murders were simply a drop in a bucket of Massof’s misdeeds. A Grand Jury report released earlier this year notes that Massof “admitted that there were about 100 instances in which he severed the spinal cord after seeing a breath or some sign of life.”

Massof has now become the fourth member of Gosnell’s staff to plead guilty.

Last week Adrienne Moton admitted her part in the murder of one baby, while Sherry West pled guilty for helping to drug abortion client Karanaya Mongar to death during a botched abortion. Neither women had any medical training or licensing.

A Grand Jury report released in January of this year had detailed testimony from clinic staff who said that “killing large, late-term babies who had been observed breathing and moving was a regular occurrence” and “standard procedure” at the filthy clinic: one staffer said such events happened “hundreds” of times.

Massof told investigators that about 40% of the second trimester “abortions” performed by Gosnell were past 24 weeks, at which point the babies would be viable outside the womb. He also said that he believed Gosnell would perform even later term abortions on Sundays, when the rest of the staff were away.

Another clinic worker, Tina Baldwin, told the investigators that Gosnell once joked about a baby that was writhing as he cut its neck: “that’s what you call a chicken with its head cut off.”

After news of the conditions in the clinic broke earlier this year, “scores” of women stepped forward to tell their horror stories of forced abortions and abysmally poor care at the hands of Gosnell and his employees.

Investigators who raided the facility wrote that they found that the abortion equipment broken, dirty, and rusty; downstairs, the dismembered remains of newborn and nearly-born children were stuffed into jars, bags, milk jugs, and cat food containers. Others shared space in a refrigerator-freezer with employees’ lunches.

Upon entering the building, investigators were hit by the stench of cat urine and the sight of drugged and moaning women lying on blood-stained blankets. Flea-ridden cats defecated freely on the bloodied floors.

Massof also testified that he often saw Gosnell take photographs of women’s genitalia and of dead fetuses for no perceivable medical reason.

The Grand Jury report released in January had issued scathing indictments of both the Pennsylvania Department of Health and the Department of State for turning a blind eye to the clinic. The report said the government agencies had allowed the clinic to wallow in filth for years, and ignored several complaints lodged against the abortionist, while allowing his official record to remain clean.

Fifth worker at ‘House of Horrors’ abortion clinic pleads guilty to murder

Lynda Williams

by John Jalsevac

November 10, 2011
(LifeSiteNews.com) – A former abortion worker has pleaded guilty to two counts of murder in relation to the deaths of an abortion client and an infant born alive during a botched abortion at Philadelphia’s notorious “House of Horrors” abortion facility.

Lynda Williams, 43, entered her guilty plea yesterday.

Investigators had found that despite the fact that Williams was both unlicensed and untrained, with only a ninth grade education, she routinely anesthetized abortion clients and performed ultrasounds at Kermit Gosnell’s abortion clinic.

According to a Grand Jury report issued earlier this year, Williams was also responsible for dealing with babies who were born alive while Gosnell was away, which she did in the same way all the other staff at the clinic did – by snipping their spinal cords.

In addition to the two counts of third degree murder, Williams also pleded guilty to conspiracy to commit murder, conspiracy to participate in a corrupt organization, and illegally administering drugs to women undergoing late-term abortions.

Williams’ crimes could net her 200 years in prison, but her plea bargain agreement allows for a reduced sentence in exchange for providing testimony against Gosnell. Her sentencing has been delayed until after the Gosnell trial, which may not happen for another year.

Williams is the fifth employee at Gosnell’s clinic to plead guilty: four pleaded guilty to murder, while a fifth to perjury.

The Grand Jury report released in January of this year had detailed testimony from clinic staff who said that “killing large, late-term babies who had been observed breathing and moving was a regular occurrence” and “standard procedure” at the filthy clinic: one staffer said such events happened “hundreds” of times.

The authors of the report slammed Gosnell’s abortion practice, saying it “reflected an utter disregard for the health and safety of his patients, a cruel lack of respect for their dignity, and an arrogant belief that he could forever get away with the slovenly and careless treatment of the women who came to his clinic.

“The only thing Gosnell seemed to care about was the cash he raked in from his illegal operation,” they said.

According to one clinic staffer, about 40% of the second trimester “abortions” performed by Gosnell were past 24 weeks, at which point the babies would be viable outside the womb. He also said that he believed Gosnell would perform even later term abortions on Sundays, when the rest of the staff were away.

Another clinic worker, Tina Baldwin, told the investigators that Gosnell once joked about a baby that was writhing as he cut its neck: “that’s what you call a chicken with its head cut off.”

After news of the conditions in the clinic broke earlier this year, “scores” of women stepped forward to tell their horror stories of forced abortions and abysmally poor care at the hands of Gosnell and his employees.

Abortion worker who let 15-year-old daughter work at ‘House of Horrors’ clinic pleads guilty

November 14, 2011
(LifeSiteNews.com) – Yet another employee from Philadelphia’s infamous “House of Horrors” abortion clinic has pleaded guilty – this time to charges of participating in a corrupt organization, conspiracy and corruption of a minor, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.

The corruption of a minor charge stems from the fact that Tina Baldwin had allowed her fifteen-year-old daughter to work at the facility, owned and operated by Dr. Kermit Gosnell.

Gosnell is currently facing the death penalty for his role in the deaths of seven newborn infants, and one abortion client, Karnamaya Mongar, who died after a severely botched abortion.

According to a Grand Jury report issued earlier this year, Baldwin’s daughter, Ashley, “was required to work 50-hour weeks, starting after school until past midnight, during which she was exposed to the full horrors of Gosnell’s practice.”

Ashley allegedly routinely witnessed Gosnell murder newborn infants by snipping their spinal cords, and was present on the day that Karnamay Mongar died.

Baldwin herself worked at the clinic for nine years, during which time she served primarily as a receptionist. However, despite her lack of medical certification, she also routinely assisted in abortions by anesthetizing abortion clients, performing ultrasounds, and working in the recovery room. Her daughter was also required to perform similar duties, despite her lack of medical training.

It was Baldwin who told investigators that, during her nine years at the clinic, she had seen Gosnell “suction” out the skulls of newborn babies after snapping their necks “hundreds” of times. She also testified that Gosnell once joked about a baby that was writhing as he cut its neck: “that’s what you call a chicken with its head cut off.”

Baldwin is the sixth employee of Gosnell’s to plead guilty: four of these have pleaded guilty to murder charges.

The Grand Jury report released in January of this year had detailed testimony from clinic staff who said that “killing large, late-term babies who had been observed breathing and moving was a regular occurrence” and “standard procedure” at the filthy clinic.

After news of the conditions in the clinic broke earlier this year, scores of women stepped forward to tell their horror stories of forced abortions and abysmally poor care at the hands of Gosnell and his employees.

In her testimony, Baldwin revealed that whenever an abortion client got “out of hand,” Gosnell would instruct staff to “knock them out completely” with anesthesia. She also testified that she knew of two or three occasions where Gosnell had perforated a woman’s uterus, and then attempted to fix it surgically, without telling the woman about the injury.

Investigators who raided the facility wrote that they found the abortion equipment broken, dirty, and rusty; downstairs, the dismembered remains of newborn and nearly-born children were stuffed into jars, bags, milk jugs, and cat food containers. Others shared space in a refrigerator-freezer with employees’ lunches.

Upon entering the building, investigators were hit by the stench of cat urine and the sight of drugged and moaning women lying on blood-stained blankets. Flea-ridden cats defecated freely on the bloodied floors.

The Grand Jury report had issued scathing indictments of both the Pennsylvania Department of Health and the Department of State for turning a blind eye to the clinic.

Kermit Gosnell Employees Plead Guilty in Abortion Case
http://www.lifenews.com/2011/10/27/kerm ... tion-case/
by Steven Ertelt | Philadelphia, PA


Two staff members at the grisly abortion business in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania pleaded guilty today over their roles in the botched abortion deaths and the abortion-infanticides of dozens of unborn children that took place at the clinic.

Gosnell, his wife, and staff members face various charges — including eight charges for killing a patient in a botched abortion and killing unborn children in the brutal infanticides that saw him stick medical scissors into the backs of unborn children purposefully induced prematurely so he could “snip” their spinal cords and take their lives.

His wife, who worked at the Women’s Medical Society abortion business with him, and staffers also face charges ranging from murder to obstructing justice to practicing medicine without a license.

Today, Adrienne Moton, 34, and Sherry West, 52, are scheduled to plead guilty for contributing to the deaths as they worked at the abortion facility that had not been inspected by state officials in decades.

Moton faces charges of murder, conspiracy, racketeering and corruption related to the death of at least one viable unborn child killed at Gosnell’s facility. She was unlicensed by the state and illegally administered anesthesia to women obtaining abortions. West, according to the Philadelphia Daily News, faces charges of third-degree murder in the botched abortion death of 41-year-old Karnamaya Mongar, who died at Gosnell’s abortion clinic after a failed abortion.

Moton and West each pleaded guilty to related charges, including taking part in a corrupt organization. West also pleaded guilty to drug delivery causing death.

Mongar died November 20, 2009, after overdosing on anesthetics prescribed by the doctor. Mongar’s family filed a lawsuit against Gosnell’s abortion business seeking damages.

Defense lawyer Michael Wallace said after the hearing, according to an AP report, that West may have administered the fatal dosage of anesthesia that killed Mongar, although he tried to mitigate her death by saying West stayed with her on the way to the hospital following the botched abortion.

“She’s very sorry about the death of that young lady,” Wallace said. “She got caught up in a series of things that probably she did not realize the significance of.”

West (picture at left), who reportedly exposed patients at Gosnell’s clinic to hepatitis C, has been in custody on $2 million bail since her arrest in January and Wallace said she would cooperate with authorities — maybe even testifying against Gosnell.

“She knows she will do time,” Wallace said of the possible 140 years in prison she may receive, which could be reduced if she cooperates.

The newspaper indicates a third staffer, 53-year-old Elizabeth Hampton, Gosnell’s sister-in-law, pleaded guilty to perjury on October 13 and will be sentenced on December 2.

Gosnell has been charged with eight counts of murder and several of his staff at the abortion center, including his wife and sister-in-law, have been charged as well in the case with assisting in botched abortions, practicing medicine without a license or covering up the actions of those who did. The counts include grisly infanticidesthat involved Gosnell snipping the spines with scissors of babies who had purposefully been prematurely born so they could be killed moments later.

Gosnell and several staffers at his abortion center, including his wife Pearl, were arrested in January after a grand jury indicted them on multiple charges after officials raided his abortion business following a woman’s death and discovered a “shop of horrors” filled with bags of bodies and body parts of deceased unborn children and babies killed in infanticides. Pearl Gosnell, Kermit’s 49-year-old wife who has no medical license, faces a charge of providing an abortion at 24 or more weeks and conspiracy and other charges.

Gosnell has been denied bail while the case against him moves forward. Women have spoken out about their treatment and one woman says she was drugged and tied up and forced to have an abortion.

Authorities searching the facility last year found bags and bottles holding aborted babies scattered around the building, jars containing babies’ severed feet lining a shelf, as well as filthy, unsanitary furniture and equipment.

The grand jury investigation also shows state officials did nothing when reports came in about problems at Gosnell’s abortion center, which has upset incoming pro-life Governor Tom Corbett.

While the trial moves forward, a pro-life group and state lawmakers are pressing for legislation the state House needs to pass that responds to the grisly abortions and infanticides at Gosnell’s facility. Gosnell’s abortion center was inspected only after a federal drug raid in 2010. It was the first time the facility had been inspected in 17 years because state officials ignored complaints and failed to visit Gosnell’s Women’s Medical Society for years.

The abortion industry has been forced to suspend two abortion businesses that employed embattled abortion practitioner Kermit Gosnell, who has been the subject of national controversy over his abortion business in Philadelphia.

Following revelations that Gosnell is associatedwith two other abortion centers in Louisiana and Delaware, the National Abortion Federation made the decision to suspend the memberships of both. Atlantic Women’s Medical Services, the Delaware abortion business that employed Gosnell one day a week to do abortions, and the Delta Clinic abortion center of Baton Rouge, have both had their memberships suspended. Leroy Brinkley owns both abortion businesses. Atlantic operates abortion centers in Wilmington and Dover.

Probably you would not want them on our side in a war. They maim and murder for personal gain. They lack integrity and loyalty, traits a good soldier must have. They would be totally unreliable, better to leave them in prison and put them to hard labour.

Pearl Gosnell, wife of abortionist Kermit Gosnell.

December 12, 2011
(LifeSiteNews.com) - Things aren’t looking good for abortionist Kermit Gosnell, whose wife pleaded guilty today to charges of performing abortion after 24 weeks, conspiracy, criminal conspiracy and corrupt organization. The plea by Pearl Gosnell follows the guilty pleas of several of Kermit Gosnell’s former staff.

The abortion doctor faces the death penalty over charges of murdering one abortion client and seven newborn babies at his Philadelphia clinic, which has been dubbed the “House of Horrors.”

According to an explosive Grand Jury report released earlier this year, Pearl Gosnell worked as an assistant at the clinic from 1982 until 1990, when she married Gosnell. After their marriage, Pearl would assist her husband on Sundays to perform extremely late-term abortions.

The report says that while “Pearl claimed that she was certified to take temperatures and blood pressure by Lyons Technical Institute,” she “could not produce any records because, she said, the school had closed.”

Many of Gosnell’s employees, including a fellow “doctor” who performed abortions at the facility, were unlicensed.

After news of the conditions in the clinic broke earlier this year, “scores” of women stepped forward to tell their horror stories of forced abortions and abysmally poor care at the hands of Gosnell and his employees.

Investigators who raided the facility had found that the abortion equipment itself was broken, dirty, and rusty; downstairs, the dismembered remains of newborn and nearly-born children were stuffed into jars, bags, milk jugs, and cat food containers. Others shared space in a refrigerator-freezer with employees’ lunches.

Upon entering the building, investigators were hit by the stench of cat urine and the sight of drugged and moaning women lying on blood-stained blankets. Flea-ridden cats defecated freely on the bloodied floors.

The Grand Jury report released in January detailed testimony from clinic staff who said that “killing large, late-term babies who had been observed breathing and moving was a regular occurrence” at the filthy clinic: one staffer said such events happened “hundreds” of times. Another clinic worker, Tina Baldwin, told the investigators that Gosnell once joked about a baby that was writhing as he cut its neck: “that’s what you call a chicken with its head cut off.”

That same Grand Jury report had issued scathing indictments of both the Pennsylvania Department of Health and the Department of State for turning a blind eye to the clinic. The report said the government agencies had allowed the clinic to wallow in filth for years, and ignored several complaints lodged against the abortionist, while allowing his official record to remain clean.
