Serial Killer Abortion Doctor Kermit Gosnell Dies In Prison: REPORT

Kermit Gosnell, an abortion doctor convicted of murdering children outside of the womb, reportedly died in a Pennsylvania prison in early March at 85 years old.

The announcement of Gosnell’s death was first reported by Ann McElhinney, a journalist who had been in frequent contact with Gosnell since his trial to collect information on the case. Sources familiar with the matter confirmed his death to Life News. Gosnell had died two weeks ago, but it had been unreported until Monday, prison and law enforcement sources told the Unreported Story Society. The sources said Gosnell’s cause of death is unknown, but that his health had been failing. (RELATED: Biden Admin Let College Student’s Alleged Illegal Alien Killer Into Country, DHS Says)

“He was a chilling monster who could sometimes come across as charming,” McElhinney wrote, alleging that Gosnell was believed to have murdered thousands of babies after birth during 30 years at a “filthy” Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, abortion clinic.

The grand jury that looked into his case wanted to charge Gosnell in connection with 200 murders, but the number was lowered to seven after pressure from politicians and officials, McElhinney alleged. A jury convicted Gosnell in 2013 for first-degree murder of three babies whose spinal cords were cut with scissors after they were born alive, according to The BMJ, a medical journal.

A judge spared Gosnell the death sentence but sentenced him to life in prison, The BMJ reported. Gosnell would reportedly often target women who were poor and members of minority populations.

McElhinney said she felt she was “face to face with evil” when she spoke with Gosnell and added that thousands of innocent babies were offered “some measure of justice with Gosnell’s prosecution and incarceration,” the Unreported Story Society reported, citing a press release.

In one case, a baby boy lived outside of the womb for an hour and was so big that even Gosnell’s aides were “shocked by the barbarity of his killing,” according to the journalist. McElhinney argued that a photo of the baby boy “curled up in a Tupperware container helped seal Gosnell’s fate and ensured he’d never kill again.”

McElhinney also alleged that two women, one a Bhutan refugee and the other a young mother, had needlessly died in Gosnell’s clinic.

A jury found Gosnell guilty of murdering a woman who died due to a sedative overdose, but he was convicted of involuntary manslaughter as a result of her death, according to The BMJ.

Ten years ago today, Dr Kermit Gosnell was convicted of murdering babies in the third trimester. The jury were shocked by the images of the fully formed babies.

“May God have mercy on his soul, but his soul was filled with evil, so there may be no mercy for him, like there was no mercy for the babies,” the police officer who helmed the investigation into Gosnell, Detective Jim Wood, said. (RELATED: NHL Reporter, 3 Kids Killed In House Fire)
