PHILADELPHIA -- An abortion doctor who catered to minorities, immigrants and poor women was charged with eight counts of murder in the deaths of a patient and seven babies who were born alive and then killed with scissors, prosecutors said Wednesday.

Dr. Kermit Gosnell, 69, made millions of dollars over 30 years, performing as many illegal, late-term abortions as he could, prosecutors said. State regulators ignored complaints about him and failed to visit or inspect his clinic since 1993, but no charges were warranted against them, District Attorney Seth Williams said.

State regulators should be brought to trial as well. They failed to do their job and as a direct result people were killed. Negligent homicide

Despicable :(
Maybe it will bring to light what happens every day behind closed doors

The convenience store "procedure" thing is just deplorable. If you want to take a human life of your own flesh and blood, you should be the one coat hanger/vacuum/scalpel in hand. At least then you'd have to see firsthand what you've murdered instead if paying a hitman to do it for you and the nurse to count the pieces to make sure they got it all.
