On May 13th, 2013, Philadelphia abortionist Kermit Gosnell was convicted of first degree murder against three infants and involuntary manslaughter of a pregnant woman, along with multiple felonies and misdemeanors which he committed\u00a0at his infamous 3801 Lancaster Avenue\u00a0facility.<\/p>\n

Operating under the whitewashed name “Women’s Medical Society,” Gosnell’s “House of Horrors” earned nearly $1.8 million a year<\/a> as a provider of\u00a0late-term abortion services that took the lives of preborn and born alive\u00a0babies, as well as 19 weeks pregnant Karnamaya Mongar. Gosnell and his unlicensed medical workers also inflicted injury and disease on women in their careless practice of almost four decades. Now, the 74-year-old father of six children\u00a0sits in prison for the remainder of his life.<\/p>\n

Gosnell, the only child of a Philadelphia gas station operator and government clerk, was a stellar student<\/a>\u00a0at Central High School and earned\u00a0a bachelor’s degree from Dickinson College and a medical degree from Thomas Jefferson University<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The grand jury report<\/a> reveals that Gosnell\u00a0“started but failed to complete a residency in obstetrics and gynecology,” which disqualified his abortion business\u00a0under Pennsylvania law. This didn’t stop Gosnell from practicing and working with abortion activists<\/a> even when he had brushes with the law using dangerous equipment and failing to counsel a patient suffering complications.<\/p>\n

Two years to the day of Gosnell’s conviction, the U.S. House of Representatives votes on H.R. 36, the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act,<\/a>\u00a0which would ban abortions on\u00a0preborn babies\u00a020 weeks and older. Babies the same age and size were\u00a0Gosnell’s victims\u2014 murdered with scissor snips to their spinal cord outside the womb.<\/p>\n

Pro-abortion\u00a0advocates seem more terrified by this threat to the late-term abortion industry\u00a0than by the possibility of Gosnell-like threats to humanity doing business with them.<\/p>\n

The fact that Gosnell’s criminal behavior continued so long, undetected, is disturbing enough, but more so is the fact that the Gosnell case is not an isolated incident. Live Action’s\u00a0Inhuman i<\/a>nvestigation\u00a0exposes\u00a0late-term abortion facilities in New York, D.C., Arizona, New Mexico, and in the clinics of late-term abortionists LeRoy Carhart and Douglas Karpen. The findings\u00a0reveal environments where women are assured that abortions at their stage of pregnancy are not rare, that abortion is safer than birth, and that no matter what method used, the abortionists will see to it that there will be no live baby to worry about in the end – and if a woman dies, it’s a pregnancy complication, never the fault of abortion.<\/p>\n
