Victims say abortion doctor scarred them for lifeh/t Michelle Malkin
by Dana DiFilipio
FIFTEEN-YEAR-OLD Robyn Reid didn't want an abortion. But when her grandmother forcibly took her to an abortion clinic one wintry day in 1998, Reid figured she'd just tell the doctor her wishes and then sneak away.
Instead, Kermit Gosnell barked: "I don't have time for this!" He then ripped off her clothes, spanked her, wrestled her onto a dirty surgical stretcher, tied her flailing arms and legs down and pumped sedatives into her until she quit screaming and lost consciousness, she told the Daily News yesterday.
Nicole Gaither got an abortion from Gosnell in 2001. After four days, she said, the pain was so bad she could barely walk. She returned to the clinic, where, she said Gosnell blithely told her he'd left fetal remains in her.
"Stand up! It don't hurt that bad!" he yelled at her, she said, before suctioning - without any medication - her insides.
In 2001, Davida Johnson changed her mind about aborting her 6-month fetus after seeing Gosnell's dazed, bloodied patients in his recovery room, she said. But in the treatment room, Gosnell's staffers ignored her protests, smacked her, tied her arms down and sedated her into unconsciousness, she said. She awoke no longer pregnant.
Weeks later, she said, she was diagnosed with a venereal disease that she believes she contracted from unsterilized equipment Gosnell used. Now, she can't carry a baby to term and said she has miscarried four times since her abortion.
One day after a grand jury issued a hefty report charging Gosnell with eight counts of murder stemming from his West Philadelphia practice, Reid, Gaither, Johnson and other women stepped forward yesterday to share stories of horrors they had hidden for years, unaware that they were part of a sisterhood of suffering.

How horrendous!
This so-called doctor is a serial killer.
I had just read MM`s collumn and thought I`d post a heads-up to you - not only are you already on the ball, you have the ball well in-hand ! Gee whizz, girl, you be gots da glutons for punishment !!
Three cheers to you and MM, both faithful wives and loving mothers of 2 young children, both biting your lips and fighting back tears while you push to make more of the public aware of the horrible truths of the "Freedom of Reproductive Choice" movement ! WE know that this movement has little to do with freedom or health of anyone, but rather it`s about lots of money, control and population reduction, especially, the "undesirables" and "unworthies" - BLACKS !! Eugenics !!
While you keep a towel handy for the tears, I`ll continue to pray for your continued strength and courage and protection to fight the good fight ! Bless you, MJ !!
So right ! I read that he did not complete his medical residency.....also that an assistant held and played with some of the babies before slitting their throats ! THAT is beyond evil !!
"Horrendous" falls short as a proper descriptor !
Thanks, SPG. What really pisses me off is that it's not a 'choice' because most of the abortions are done through coercion! The girls who have them are victimized on both sides, from the left, they've been fooled, tricked or forced into having them and then from the right they are told that they're murderers and they are left with nowhere to turn and are truly lost. There is little compassion for them, they are like lost sheep without a shepherd willing to bring them home. It's what kept me away from the pro-lifers for so long; some of them are horribly judgmental and have no mercy for the 'other' victims of the abortion industry. If any good can come from the evils we are bearing witness to, let it not be limited to saving babies, save the girls & women as well. They need to know that they can still be loved and that they can be redeemed.
I agree, words fail to adequately describe the sheer evil from that 'man'. Even 'demonic' would seem to fall short of what that soulless SOB did to those girls and those babies. He appears to have ENJOYED what he did.
And how about this part:
"Reid said she tried to report Gosnell.
"I called all kinds of 1-800 numbers, abortion hot lines. Not one person I talked to could give me any advice on what to do about the doctor," said Reid, now 28, of Northeast Philadelphia. "I was 15; I didn't know what else to do.""
Yeah, calling the abortion hotline is like expecting the fox to guard the henhouse. But the child was 15.
What do you make of these great aunts and grandmothers who haul these very pregnant girls in to have their babies killed?
I know the governmental authorities in PA had no interest in touching anything that might cast a shadow on abortion. But do you wonder whether Gosnell may also have had some personal friends in high places?
Right again, a valuable perspective ! We as Christians must never be judgmental, but loving, understanding and supportive !
Can we consider the third victim ? The "would-be-willing" father ?! The story goes something like this - the wife / girlfriend announces that she`s pregnant, doesn`t want it, is going for an abortion, get / stay out of the way and btw, I need $X,XXX.00 to pay for the procedure ! He doesn`t protest too much, he`s scared silly, because he knows it will end the relationship ! HE still knows and suffers the memory for rest of his life as well !
Relatively rare, I`m sure, but it does happen !
I see I am on your blogroll. Thanks.
His clinic wasn`t inspected since 1993; he knowingly left a paper trail of underage abortions - I`d say it is a bankable bet he has friends in all the right high places !
Excellent point, SPG, I know guys whose hearts were broken by abortion too, it's good that you brought it up. Not all guys are jerks and knowing that they had a child who was lost before they even had a chance to even be born and that the guy had no say in it at all can really scar a person.
I read it, and it breaks my heart, there's no help for these girls because few care about them. On one side they are just pawns and meal tickets and once they've served the purpose they are thrown away just like the babies they were tricked into destroying and on the other side, many of them dare not even ask for help because they know there's a good chance that they'll simply be dismissed as "murderers" and "whores" who "should have thought about things first before they ended up the way that they did". There seems to be little mercy for these girls, and little hope.
I shudder to think of how little their own relatives care for them that they put them in the 'clinic' instead of helping them to bring a new family member into the world to love. How achingly sad.
It certainly seems that Gosnell had connections, or that the pro-abort lobby is just THAT danged powerful.
You're welcome! I only add blogs that I like, and I like yours a lot!
Good morning MJ and fellow resisters !
I just heard that it`s snowing in Manhattan, REALLY cold in Maine and noticed a huge storm headed my way that`s likely to dump freezing rain and snow on us, again - so I wondered how you fare in all this !?
Are you able to get out with the kids and play in the snow or is it just too brutal? Do your hands tolerate the cold, do you have a yard to play in, hill to slide down; you know, all the important things in life ?! ;-)
There is a long, steep street a block form my house, if sledders get out there before the snowplows, they will pass it up for a while to let them play ! Nice of the town - an un-official policy since I was a kid ! Two weeks ago while out clearing snow (9") for a couple neighbors I noticed quite a crowd sledding and thought I`d snap some pics to send you when I got done; but the crowd thinned, the snowplow made 2 passes, one up, one down - oh well, next time !
Stay warm and well !
I'm about 60 miles north of Manhattan, and we got snow. We didn't go out to play though because it was too cold and I simply cannot keep track of both kids outside on my own. We're on a big piece of land and with my physical limitations, it would be easy for one of them to find trouble before I could catch them. They go out when hubs is home to help me with them, at least until they're a little older & hopefully not so nuts.
There's a little hill in the front yard & a big hill out back leading into the woods for us to push them down on sleds. It's hilarious to see my 3 year old son all bundled up waddling back up the hill, reminds me of the little feller in A Christmas Story.
I can just see it ! When my daughter was 3, my Sister lived in ND and would send her one-piece snowsuits - she was too cute ! I was jealous - I want one of those, I hate snow down my neck and waist !! She was the snow-angle queen - always grinning - and almost fearless !
Cherish those times ! Stay safe and warm !
As we all suspected and were likely fully convinced already, Dr Gosnell`s story is only the tip of the abortion horror ice berg !!
Michelle Malkin`s new post, "Beyond the Philadelphia Horror" documents several other abortionists in several other states who have and are continuing to perform late term abortions, maiming women and otherwise destroying lives with little punishment ! These monsters are virtually everywhere !!
Thanks for the tip! No, not surprising, but these things need to be exposed.
