Gosnell Staffer: Newborn Was Tossed in Shoe Box, Still Breathing
A former staff worker at the Kermit Gosnell abortion facility testified during the murder trial today that the abortion practitioner and his staff once tossed a newborn child who survived a failed abortion and was still breathing into a shoe box.
In fact, Kareema Cross told a jury in Philadelphia today that she saw at least 10 children who were breathing after botched abortions but killed afterwards. What happened shocked her so badly she took photographs to document what happened. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

Kermit Gosnell Reused Blades From Abortions, Causing Women STDs
Two witnesses took the stand yesterday in the capital murder case of Kermit Gosnell, providing testimony from the perspectives of a patient and an employee of substandard conditions and illegal practices at Gosnell’s “House of Horrors” clinic at 3801 Lancaster.
Mary Kincade had been a patient at Gosnell’s Women’s Medical Society clinic for about ten years and was last seen five to six years ago. She said she only saw Eileen O’Neill, who other clinic workers referred to as “Doctor” even though she had no license to practice in Pennsylvania. Kincade was not an abortion patient, but saw O’Neill for yearly well woman exams. Kincade never saw Gosnell at the clinic during any of her visits. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

Report: Mainstream Media Still Ignoring Gosnell Murder Trial
Despite the massive pressure the pro-life movement has placed on the mainstream media, a new report by a conservative watchdog group indicates they are still essentially ignoring the Kermit Gosnell murder trial.
Despite the massive pressure the pro-life movement has placed on the mainstream media, a new report by a conservative watchdog group indicates they are still essentially ignoring the Kermit Gosnell murder trial.
As LifeNews reported, the New York Times committed to and then qucikly pulled back a reporter who was supposed to provide daily coverage of the trial. But it’s worse than that, as Katie Yoder of Newsbusters indicates the big television networks have still done next to nothing. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/
At nearly six weeks, the Gosnell trial has something in common with its unborn victims: it has a heartbeat now, and not just in the conservative press. The story is pulsing through the mainstream media, as alive as it’s ever been in the two years since Kermit Gosnell’s conviction. For once, the bloodcurdling accounts–so otherworldly that Snopes had to separate it from urban legend–are receiving the attention the pro-abortion press never wanted to give it.Of course, now that the media has been shamed into doing its job, a handful of reporters can’t help but try to spread the blame around. Taking its cues from Gosnell apologists like NARAL, outlets like Slate, The Atlantic, and Huffington Post have the audacity to condemn pro-lifers for the clinic’s barbarism. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/
72 Members of Congress Demand Media Coverage of Gosnell Trial
Some 72 members of Congress have signed on to a letter demanding that the mainstream media provide coverage of the murder trial of abortion practitioner Kermit Gosnell.
Reps. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) and Steve Scalise (R-LA) were joined by 70 of their House colleagues late Wednesday demanding national broadcast news channels ABC, NBC, and CBS stop blacking out coverage on high-profile abortion controversies. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/
Head of Pro-Abortion Group Pleads Guilty to Arranging Sex With Child
The former director of a leading abortion advocacy group who was caught in a child sex sting pleaded guilty to his crimes.
Scott Richard Swirling, who was the director of the National Family Planning & Reproductive Health Association (NFPRHA), was arrested for attempting to arrange for a sexual encounter with a twelve-year-old girl. He was charged with traveling across state lines to engage in illicit sexual conduct, a crime which carries a penalty of up to 30 years. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

National Abortion Federation Never Reported Gosnell’s House of Horrors
The National Abortion Federation (NAF) holds itself up as the gold standard of providers of so-called “safe, legal, and accessible abortion care.”
The National Abortion Federation (NAF) holds itself up as the gold standard of providers of so-called “safe, legal, and accessible abortion care.”
But when the notorious Kermit Gosnell—currently on trial for murder in Philadelphia, in case you haven’t heard—unsuccessfully applied to become an NAF member in late 2009, the evaluator who visited his facility said it was the worst one she had ever seen, yet she never reported the horrific conditions in Gosnell’s “House of Horrors” to authorities. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/
North Dakota Governor Signs Bill Banning Abortions at 20 WeeksOn Tuesday, North Dakota’s governor signed a bill into law banning abortions after 20 weeks, when an unborn baby begins to feel pain. This comes just one month after he signed landmark pro-life legislation making it the first state to prohibit both sex-selection abortions and abortions for genetic abnormalities. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/
Abortion Backers Oppose Regulations That Could Have Stopped GosnellOne of many complaints abortion supporters have against clinic regulations, which they call TRAP laws – Targeted Regulation of Abortion Providers – is a requirement for wider doors and hallways than clinics apparently usually have. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/
Kermit Gosnell’s Prosecutor’s Unwed Mom Placed Him for AdoptionMany Americans are now familiar with the sordid exploits of abortion practitioner Kermit Gosnell, but they likely know nothing about the District Attorney whose office is leading the fight to prosecute him. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/

Paralyzed UK Man Sues to Create Right to Assisted SuicideAssisted suicide is not about terminal illness. It is about creating a legal right to be made dead. In the USA, this agenda is more hidden than elsewhere, but anyone with eyes to see can discern that truth. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/
