It’s a great report, but what it says to me is that Gosnell is only the tip of the iceberg.

How many other people are lawyering up?

The inspecters the supervisors, the people who are responsible for watching this murderer. certanil he ran a gut house, but he diodn’t run it alone. How many bribes were paid to Government employees. How many false reports were filed.How many of those inspecters took their paycheck under fraudulent circumstances.

Now The Big question. How many will be fired or prosecuted.

HOW MANY SAY NOT ONE OF THEM.

Makes ya wonder what flavor these public employees were.

That conclusion leaps from the pages of the report and slaps the reader in the face.

Someone really kept a tight lid on this case through the 2012 election. The clinic was raided in 2010, this grand jury report was released in Jan 2011. Two years of silence. It can't be any coincidence that there is a 2 year statute of limitations on illegal abortions.

From the time Gosnell's clinic was raided in 2010 until now, word has obviously gone out to all clinics across the nation to prepare for inspections and audits.

Pg 232-232:

We recommend that Kermit Gosnell be charged with 33 counts of performing illegal abortions. From the testimony and the evidence we have reviewed, we believe that Gosnell performed scores more such abortions. Violation of this law, however, is subject to a two-year statute of limitations. And investigators to date have been able to locate only a portion of Gosnell’s files from the past two years.

Gosnell is known to have not kept records of the most illegal late term abortions. So, unless someone can offer up some hard evidence, he'll likely walk on any charges related to secret Sunday abortions only he and his wife provided for the most illegal cases. Abortionists across the nation will recognize if there is no record there is no case.

When Gorsnall did keep records, he is known to have falsified records of later term abortions. When his clinic was raided in 2010, large numbers of files are reportedly seen in the raiders videotape yet subsequently disappeared.

Pg 243-244:

Between the time that law enforcement officials raided Gosnell’s office in February 2010 and the time that investigators returned with a warrant to seize patient files, many files disappeared.
We viewed a videotape of the raid and saw files on shelves outside the procedure rooms. Latosha Lewis and others told us that these were recent second-trimester abortion files. The shelves were bare when investigators returned.
Tina Baldwin testified that “second trimester charts, usually those real big ones, they didn’t stay in the office.” Other employees corroborated her observation. Gosnell took those files home, Baldwin said, “if there were difficult cases or some cases where he thought they shouldn’t be in there.” A subsequent search of Gosnell’s home and car turned up only some of these files. Massof told us that Gosnell always took files home, so “I think he has them. If he hasn’t destroyed them, he has them.”
We also learned from the state Department of Health that sometime after the February 2010 raid, Gosnell suddenly filed numerous reports of abortions, including previously unreported second-trimester abortions. To complete the detailed health department forms, Gosnell would have had to have the patient files. We have reviewed these forms and, for the most part, the corresponding patients files are missing.
In a letter accompanying his March 2010 submission to the Department of Health, Gosnell advised that the information came “from patient charts [that] have been removed from the facility.” Based on this evidence, we believe that Gosnell, aware he was under investigation, intentionally destroyed or disposed of patient files.

What the abortion industry may likely take from this is that Gosnell's mistake seems to have been keeping some records of illegal abortions. For the illegal abortions, rather than falsifying records, Gosnell should not have kept any record and charged cash only. Clean, up to date records should be kept only for legal abortions paid via insurance, or credit card.

We recommend that NAF reassess the membership of Atlantic Women’s Medical Services, the Delaware abortion clinic where Gosnell worked part-time before losing his license in that state. We learned that at least six patients were referred from Atlantic to Gosnell’s clinic in Philadelphia for illegal late-term abortions. These patients paid Atlantic for late-term procedures performed by Gosnell in his Lancaster Avenue clinic. We heard evidence that Gosnell would insert laminaria in patients in Delaware and then have them come to his Philadelphia office for the abortion procedure itself. The director of Atlantic Women’s Medical Services, Leroy Brinkley, was unconcerned. He did not properly supervise the doctors he hired as “independent contract ors” to assure that they were complying with the law. Remarkably, despite Gosnell’s long time association with Atlantic, Brinkley only produced three files for patients seen by Gosnell at Brinkley’s clinic.
