PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – Eyewitness News has learned that a West Philadelphia doctor, his wife and eight other suspects are now under arrest following a grand jury Investigation.

Sources say Dr. Kermit Gosnell faces eight counts of murder in the death of a woman following a botched abortion at his office at 38th and Lancaster Avenues, along with the deaths of seven other babies who, prosecutors allege, were born alive following illegal late-term abortions.

Four of the suspects, some improperly licensed, also face multiple counts of murder for allegedly killing the newborns.

All of the suspects are now behind bars after warrants were served overnight.

Dr. Gosnell, who has practiced in the West Philadelphia neighborhood for decades, is also the target of a federal grand jury investigation into illegally prescribing prescription drugs.

Investigators say during a search of his home, they found $240,000 in cash.

The doctor, in past interviews with CBS 3, has proclaimed his innocence, predicting if charged, he will be acquitted.

The Philadelphia District Attorney has scheduled a press conference for 10:30 a.m. to officially announce details of the arrests and the grand jury presentment.’

What blows my mind is that there are pro-choice folks commenting on how sick this is, because he used scissors.

Can someone please tell me how it is more humane to use embryotomy scissors rather than regular scissors?

[concerned about politics]

state regulators ignored complaints and failed to visit the clinic since 1993.

This maniac may have been murdering newborns for the last 18 years.

Their goal is death.

These infants were born in the U.S. - alive. That automatically makes them legal American citizens. They have a right to a lawyer and a fair trial. If non-citizen infants automatically get these rights, shouldn't Americans citizens be treated even better?

It is the same dementia which caused Nazi-supporting German companies to create Zyklon B cyanide as a “humane” means of killing.

Today’s leftists are every bit as a evil and twisted but also far more cowardly. The fact that we can’t seem to defeat these monsters leads me to believe that this is the end of the world as we knew it.

We are all Jews now...

only the persons of the Democrat elite will have “rights”

No kidding, how sick do you have to be to think like that?

The doctor, in past interviews with CBS 3, has proclaimed his innocence, predicting if charged, he will be acquitted.

How, through restorative justice? How many of those dead babies were Black?

Ping!

I read the grand jury report. It is horrifying as is the neglect of all the government agencies who should have known of this years ago. Interesting the comment that once “Casey had been replaced by Ridge, the Department of Health saw no reason to go regulate abortion clinics.” Yes, having a pro abortion governor can change things and Ridge was a Republican!
