Gosnell Found Guilty of Involuntary Manslaughter, Infanticide
UPDATE: As I predicted, Gosnell was given life albeit behind bars. He will serve three life without parole sentences and an additional 2 1/2 to 5 years for the overdose death of Karnamaya Mongar.
It seems these so-called ’blobs of cells’ are human after all. A Philadelphia jury found Kermit Gosnell guilty of infanticide and involuntary manslaughter. The prosecution can seek the death penalty in the three infanticide verdicts though I believe the jury, in the sentencing phase, will give life without the opportunity of parole.
@jdmullane reported this afternoon via Twitter:
The abortionist #Gosnell also guilty of infanticide in death of Baby A, and conspiracy in deaths of babies C and D.

Gosnell was also found guilty of involuntary manslaughter of Karnamaya Mongar.
In case this trial was not covered in your local news, JD Mullane has been diligently tweeting trial coverage since day 1. The following tweets explain why Baby A, C, D were so charged by the jury.
Baby Boy A:
Baby A was photographed by #Gosnell employee Adrienne Moton, disgusted after Dr Gosnell joked “He’s big enough to walk you to the bus stop.”

Baby Girl C:
Baby C, a little girl, was seen by clinic employees moving her arm before neck was snipped.

Baby D:
Baby D was born in a commode in the abortion clinic, and struggled to get out before A clinic employee snipped the child’s neck.

You can read all the gory details outlined by the grand jury report.
Of all the carnage that went on in this legal and state sanctioned public abortion clinic; the description of Baby D struggle for his or her life then brutal death haunts me the most. At the moment, Planned Parenthood is attempting to set groundwork for the legalization of infanticide of infants born alive after an abortion procedure by blocking life saving care and ignoring Safe Haven laws. Consider the implications of this legislation at a federal level: Kermit Gosnell would have been convicted of involuntary manslaughter only. In an interesting corollary to this story, Democrat congressional representative, Allyson Schwartz CD-13, recently announced her intention to run for Governor of Pennsylvania. To date, she has not answered numerous questions as to whether as director of a PP abortion clinic she allowed referrals to Gosnell’s clinic.
Whatever your stance on abortion, we can all agree what went on in Kermit Gosnell’s clinic should be held up for scrutiny and accountability. The decades long victimization of women at this abortion clinic needs to be addressed. Along with identifying community roadblocks that prevented these women from getting the appropriate information at a time when they needed it the most. The conviction of Gosnell is just the beginning of the healing process, as a community, we have a long road ahead.
