The Long and Reckless History of a Philadelphia Abortionist
Creative Minority Report ^ | 2-23-10 | Matt Archbold

Posted on 02/23/2010 12:54:01 PM PST by marcbold

Dr. Kermit Baron Gosnell, the Philadelphia abortionist, whose clinic was shut down last night after an investigation discovered "deplorable" conditions including blood on the floor and over a dozen fetuses in jars may have a long history of risky and illegal practices when it comes to abortion.

Dr. Gosnell may have been involved in one of the most infamous and risky cases of illegal abortions in the country's history.

Dr Tanfer Emin Tunc of Haceteppe University in Turkey wrote a piece which appeared in scholarly journals called "Harvey Karman and the super coil fiasco: A forgotten episode in the history of American abortion technology." The piece mentioned a Dr Baron Gosnell. I couldn't find the piece online so I emailed her last night asking her for more information concerning the "fiasco."

She responded:

Gosnell was the local Philadelphia ob/gyn who assisted Karman with his super coil abortions. Gosnell allowed Karman to use his clinic in order to perform super coil abortions on a group of women from Chicago (which resulted in the fiasco to which I refer). It sounds like the same individual to me.

In 1955 Harvey Karman was a struggling PhD student in California. He wasn't licensed to practice medicine but that didn't stop him. Karman was imprisoned for botching an abortion with a nutcracker where the mother died. California Governor Jerry Brown eventually pardoned Karman who, by then, was a pro-abortion celebrity.

Karman invented a PhD for himself from some made up European University and became a shining light in the abortion movement of the late 60's and early 70's.

Harvey was so into abortion that he invented new ways of performing them including the "Super Coil" abortion. He was so excited about this he thought it could be the dawn of a "do-it yourself abortion kit."...

Between this, the pediatrician child molestor in Delaware and the 6 monsters who tormented that mentally disabled girl to death in western PA, I have to say this has been the most disturbing week of news I’ve ever witnessed.

The beast is loose. God help us.

Deaths in America per year
1,400,000 people die from abortion
650,000 people die of heart disease
560,000 people die of cancer
143,000 people die of stroke
75,000 people die of diabetes

Another perspective:
18,000 - Deaths by death penalty in American history (all the way back to the 1600s).
1,315,000 - Deaths in all American wars combined.
50,000,000+ - Deaths by abortion since Roe v Wade

May God have mercy upon this nation.

Even the most strident pro-abortionists will admit, if pressed, that they have little respect for abortionists themselves.

They’re considered the dregs of the medical profession, drawn from the ranks of the incompetent and the unstable.

What go you want to bet that all the babies are black babies? So I guess that justifies it from the standpoint of the pro-death crowd...
