Kermit Gosnell, the Philadelphia abortionist convicted in 2013 of murdering three babies born alive and of involuntary manslaughter of Karnamaya Mongar from a painkiller overdose, has been ordered to pay<\/a> almost $4 million dollars to Mongar’s daughter.<\/p>\n

However, lawyers admitted that Gosnell, who is currently serving a life sentence, is broke and without insurance, and is “unlikely” to ever pay.<\/p>\n

As Live Action News covered at the time<\/a>, Gosnell was also convicted of 21 counts of illegal abortions past 24 weeks and more than 200 misdemeanor counts of violating informed-consent requirements. A 2010 FBI raid on Gosnell’s clinic found<\/a> “blood on the floor,” a “stench of urine fill[ing] the air,” a “flea-infested cat wander[ing] through the facility,” “cat feces on the stairs,” semi-conscious women “moaning in the waiting room or the recovery room, where they sit on dirty recliners covered with blood-stained blankets,” and a “row of jars contain[ing] the severed feet of fetuses.”<\/p>\n

The Gosnell story also sparked intense debate between abortion opponents and defenders. Pro-choicers argued that Gosnell thrived because pro-life laws had driven more reputable, early-term abortion clinics out of business, leaving women nowhere else to turn.<\/p>\n

But pro-lifers argued Gosnell was a symptom of the abortion industry’s disregard for women, noting that<\/a> an inspector from the National Abortion Federation declined to report on the health violations she discovered at his clinic and that Pennsylvania’s pro-choice Republican Governor Tom Ridge ended clinic inspections in the state.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
