This is so extremely sad to me. I believe women have the right to abortion but not this sort of thing this goes beyond humane.
Babies born alive in the 6th, 7th and 8 months of pregnancy, to have their spinal cords cut with scissors.
A Pennsylvania doctor is accused of running a "house of horrors" in which he performed abortions past the 24-week limit allowed by law -- even allegedly as late as eight months into pregnancy.
The practice, called the Women's Medical Society, served mostly low-income minority women for years. Gosnell is not a board-certified obstetrician or gynecologist, Williams said.
Originally, he said, the clinic used another doctor as a consultant so it could receive a license to perform abortions in 1979.
"The doctor gained a reputation. People far and wide knew that he performed abortions at any time," Williams said.

This is disgusting. I didn't read the article but I can guess how he's getting away with it, and legally. By inducing labor, saying there is some kind of medical reason, and then "destroying" the child after it's born alive. Absolutely terrible that anybody would do this, as a doctor or as a mother.
All the regulations in the world won't stop illegal activities like this. The only thing we can do is charge them if they are caught.
This is true and not to derail this applies to many things. Guns come to mind......
Anyway laws will not change the fact that a certain portion will decide to ignore them no matter what. The problem I have (this happened a good while ago and there is a lot of info on it) is that the other abortion providers appear to have known what was going on here but they weren't speaking up for whatever reasons.

You should read it, if you can stomach it. This was huge news in PA a couple of years back as the Dr., who is not an OB/Gyn was supposedly operating an abortion clinic illegally and performing medically unnecessary late term abortions as well as endangering and killing patients.

This is the first I had heard of it. I dont know how someone would allow him to practice ob/gyn for as long as he did

It seems many knew and kept their mouths shut.
Abortions use to be done in back room dirty places who knows how many women died because of it. But now people use it as a remedy for reckless behavior not all but many do. In poor areas I would suspect that education to sex and how babies are born is not happening as much as it should be and these young ladies dont know what else to do. But I am only surmising.
