Prosecutors say the babies were part of a gruesome practice at the Women’s Medical Society clinic in Philadelphia, in which babies who survived an abortion were killed with scissors. Mongar, a patient at the clinic, died Nov. 20, 2009, from an overdose of anesthetics.

Kermit Gosnell, Abortion Doctor Accused of Killing Newborns PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A doctor whose abortion clinic was described as a filthy, foul-smelling "house of horrors" that was overlooked by regulators for years was charged Wednesday with murder, accused of delivering seven babies alive and then using scissors to kill them. Dr. Kermit Gosnell, 69, was arrested and charged with eight counts of murder in all. Nine of Gosnell's employees — including his wife, a cosmetologist who authorities say performed abortions — also were charged. Gosnell was also charged with murder in the death of a woman who suffered an overdose of painkillers while awaiting an abortion. In a nearly 300-page grand jury report filled with ghastly, stomach-turning detail, prosecutors said Pennsylvania regulators ignored complaints of barbaric conditions at Gosnell's clinic, which catered to poor, immigrant and minority women in the city's impoverished West Philadelphia section. http://www.blackamericaweb.com/?q=articles...
