Abortion Doc Gosnell Pleads Not Guilty on Drug Charges
Embattled abortion practitioner Kermit Gosnell appeared in court yesterday and pleaded not guilty to federal drug charges. Gosnell is the Philadelphia abortion practitioner who faces murder charges in the deaths of seven babies and a patient in a botched abortion.
Federal prosecutors contend Gosnell also used his abortion facility as a pill mill - giving patients prescriptions for highly addictive painkillers. The 71-year-old abortion doctor faces trial next year after pleading not guilty to the eight murder counts. The murder charges in connection with the deaths of the babies are related to hundreds of unborn children he reportedly caused to be born alive and prosecutors say he and his staff used scissors to kill them by 'snipping" at their spinal cords with the scissors.

Jury Selection Begins Monday on Abortion Doc Who Snipped Spinal Cords
Jury selection is set to begin on Monday in the highly publicized capital murder case against Philadelphia late-term abortionist Kermit Gosnell, whose squalid "house of horrors" abortion clinic and callous, almost flippant attitude toward his macabre abortion practices shocked the nation.
"The Gosnell case is a watershed moment for the issue of abortion," said Troy Newman, President of Operation Rescue and Pro-Life Nation. "The discovery of his horrific practices helped shed light on an abortion industry that has run amok without oversight or accountability for decades, and has prompted significant changes in abortion laws and attitudes toward enforcement in several states."

Obsessed With Death: Kermit Gosnell Kept Jars of Severed Baby Feet
His alleged crimes went undetected for years. He was the go-to guy in the neighborhood for Oxycotin and other addictive drugs-an illegal business which investigators say brought in hundreds of thousands of dollars a year.
And he was also known as the doc to go to for extremely late, late-term abortions (more than 24 weeks" gestation). At times, those "late-term abortions" turned into the killing of live infants, according to a grand jury report that reads like the script from a horror movie. Ref. Source 2
