Shock Video: We Will Not Resuscitate Baby Born Alive After Failed Abortion
A third shocking undercover video has been released showing abortion clinic staffers saying they will not revive babies who are born alive after failed abortions. The videos show embattled abortion practitioner Kermit Gosnell was not an anomaly.
The new video comes on the heels of abortion doctor Cesare Santangelo of Washington, D.C, who was exposed on a recent undercover video telling a 24-week pregnant woman that in the unlikely event that an abortion resulted in a live birth, we would not help it. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/05/02/shock-video-we-will-not-resuscitate-baby-born-alive-after-failed-abortion/
Gosnell Murder Trial Jury Focused on Unlicensed Abortion Clinic Staffer
On the third day of jury deliberations in the Kermit Gosnell abortion-murder trial, the focus of the jury remains on co-defendant Eileen O Neill, a former employee that masqueraded as a licensed physician at Gosnell s House of Horrors abortion clinic.
According to in-court reports from local news reporters who have staked out seats during what may prove to be a long and tedious jury watch, the jury has sent out repeated requests to review testimony and other evidence related to charges against O Neill submitted during the trial that is now in its seventh week. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/05/02/gosnell-murder-trial-jury-focused-on-unlicensed-abortion-clinic-staffer/
Abortion Doctor Leaves Decapitated Unborn Baby Inside Mother
Robert Alexander s abortion clinic was shut down in December by the city of Muskegon, Michigan after unsafe and unsanitary conditions were found. Now, state officials are wondering why the state medical board has not terminated Alexander s medical license.
The state legislature had planned to hold a hearing on Tuesday on Alexander and a Muskegon OB/GYN was expected to testify at the hearing. Instead, the doctor wrote that Alexander should have his license revoked. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/05/02/abortion-doctor-leaves-decapitated-unborn-baby-inside-mother/

Teen Gives Birth to 27-29 Week Baby, Tries to Flush Body Down Toilet

Gosnell Not the First to Do Live-Birth Abortions, Meet Kenneth Edelin
The Kermit Gosnell trial has shocked many in the pro-life movement and in the general public. But as shocking as the Gosnell situation is, this is not the first time a doctor has been brought up on charges after killing a baby born alive after an abortion. In fact, it is happened twice before and in both instances, the doctor was never punished.
Dr. Kenneth Edelin was a member of the National Abortion Federation. The National Abortion Federation, or NAF, is an organization of abortion providers. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/05/02/gosnell-not-the-first-to-do-live-birth-abortions-meet-kenneth-edelin/
