Kermit Barron Gosnell, the Philadelphia abortionist who was convicted in 2013 of first-degree murder for “snipping” the spinal cords of three babies that were born alive during horrifically barbaric late-term abortions, has died at the age of eighty-five.
Operation Rescue President Troy Newman released the following statement:
“Gosnell was famous for murdering hundreds of late-term babies who struggled for life after failed abortion attempts, though he was only convicted of three. Within his ‘House of Horrors’ abortion facility were found unspeakably filthy conditions that revealed a gross disregard for the lives of his patients. Bodies of babies dating back 30 years were stored in freezers and stashed in trash bags throughout his clinic. Dismembered feet of large babies were displayed floating in specimen jars in a cupboard as if they were trophies. The world has been rid of a man that can only be described as a monster, and we are better off now that he is gone.”
