DA: W. Phila abortion doc killed woman, 7 infantsInquirer Staff Report

An abortion doctor has been arrested and charged with the murder of a patient and seven live infants whose spines were severed with scissors at a West Philadelphia clinic that has been described as a house of horrors, officials said today.

District Attorney Seth Williams said the doctor, Kermit P. Gosnell, was charged following a grand jury investigation.

Gosnell, 69, lost his medical license last year after health officials determined his clinic posed "a clear danger to the public."

Gosnell was arrested this morning, officials said. He has maintained his innocence.

The seven infants were born alive in the 6th, 7th and 8th months of pregnancy and killed by severing their spinal cords with scissors, William said.

Gosnell is charged with third-degree murder in the death of Karnamaya Mongar, 41, who died Nov. 20, 2009, after receiving an overdose of anesthetics prescribed by the physician.

Gosnell's wife and eight employees of his clinic also have been arrested.

A search of Gosnell's Women's Medical Society in West Philadelphia in March revealed that bags and bottles holding aborted fetuses were scattered throughout the building, William said,

The doctor himself was seldom present and in his absence, untrained, unsupervised workers, including a teenage girl, routinely injected dangerous sedatives into women undergoing illegal late-term abortions, Williams said.

Law enforcement officers discovered the abuses while investigating tips that the doctor had been illegally selling thousands of prescriptions for OxyContin and other narcotics.

"I am aware that abortion is a hot-button topic," Williams said. "But as district attorney, my job is to carry out the law. A doctor who knowingly and systematically mistreats female patients, to the point that one of them dies in his so-called care, commits murder under the law."

"A doctor who cuts into the necks severing the spinal cords of living, breathing babies, who would survive with proper medical attention, is committing murder under the law," the DA said.

Also charged were:

Lynda Williams, 42, of Wilmington. Third-degree murder in death of the patient and murder in the death of live infant.

Sherry West, 51, of Newark, Del. Third-degree murder in the death of the patient, performing illegal abortions, conspiracy, racketeering, tampering with records, hindering prosecution, obstructing administration of law and other related offenses.

Adrienne Moton, 33, of Upper Darby, Pa. Murder for the death of a live infant, conspiracy and racketeering.

Steven Massof, 48, of Pittsburgh. Murder for the deaths of two viable babies born alive, conspiracy, theft by deception, racketeering and other related charges.

Elizabeth Hampton, 51, of the 5000 block of Arch Street, Philadelphia. Gosnell's sister-in-law, she is charged with obstruction, hindering prosecution and perjury.

Eileen O'Neill, 54, of Phoenixville. A medical school graduate who worked as doctor at the clinic without a license or certification, she is charged with theft by deception, conspiracy, racketeering and perjury.

Tina Baldwin, of South 63rd Street, Philadelphia. An unlicensed worker, she is charged with racketeering, conspiracy, and corruption of a minor for allegedly allowing her 15-year-old daughter to administer anesthesia to patients.

Pearl Gosnell, 49, of Philadelphia. Gosnell's wife, she is charged with performing abortion at 24 or more weeks, conspiracy and other related offenses.

Maddline Joe, 53, of the 800 block of Atwood Road, Philadelphia. The office manager, she is charged with conspiracy.

Monster does not describe the guy. Or his people.

Two seconds earlier, and it's a "legitimate medical procedure" to kill babies in this manner.

Ok, ok, i know it's not a laughing matter.....but his name is Kermit. Oh the visuals....

fan4ever · 01-19-2011, 04:24 PM

He's just inept; there are plenty of doctors who can kill those pesky babies no sweat.

Detoxing · 01-19-2011, 04:28 PM

Ya know, if i'm a woman contemplating an abortion, I don't think i'd go to a clinic where they still have the fetus' in glass jars. That would seem a little...you know.....

Just sayin'.

Seven children were killed by this man after they were born. This butcher executed them by utilizing a procedure he referred to as "snipping". He severed their spinal cord with surgical scissors which he inserted into the back of their neck.

InChiefsHell · 01-20-2011, 06:20 AM

I can't believe all the women who were busted in this thing as well...one dude, the rest of the co-conspirators were women...who you would think would not be involved in something like this...

...my stomach hurts...

*EDIT* I guess there was one other guy...

The Mad Crapper · 01-20-2011, 06:27 AM

It's easy to see why so many in our society think this is ok behavior...

In February 2004, Michelle Obama wrote a fundraising letter during her husband's 2004 US Senate campaign claiming the partial birth abortion ban "is clearly unconstitutional" and "a flawed law."

Our Dear Leader opposed the ban on partial-birth abortion -- a practice a fellow Democrat, the late Daniel Patrick Moynihan, once called "too close to infanticide."

In the Illinois state Senate, B.O. opposed a bill similar to the Born-Alive Infants Protection Act, which prevents the killing of infants mistakenly left alive by abortion.

I bet these killers--- every one of them--- voted for B.O.
