Abortion doctor charged with murder

[Still a Democrat]

A Philadelphia physician, Kermitt Gosnell, was charged Wednesday with murder and other offenses for allegedly causing the death of one of his female patients and killing viable babies, Philadelphia District Attorney Seth Williams said.

The babies were born alive in the sixth, seventh and eighth months of pregnancy, but their spinal cords were allegedly severed with scissors, Williams said in a statement.

1. I was ready to be angry, but this man does sound like

the worst kind of criminal.

3. He does, but you can still be angry.

Ask why women are going to a place without a doctor in appalling condition.

4. Good point, it sounds worse then when it was illegal. nt

2. He was performing illegal abortions.

Perhaps PA should take a look at what they permit. PA's definition of legal abortion:

Statutory Definition of Legal Abortion
M.D. must find, in his clinical judgment, that abortion must be necessary or that a "referring M.D." has sent a written signed statement saying so; after viability, 24 wks., necessary to preserve life of mother or prevent serious risk of substantial and irreversible impairment of bodily function. Viability defined as when M.D., based on facts of particular case, finds reasonable likelihood of fetus' sustained survival outside the mother's body.

We should all want to prevent these conditions and consequences by providing safe and legal abortion services for any who choose them.
