I don't care what side of the debate you are on, if true, this is horrific, and the guy deserves everything he gets. And hopefully they snip him to pieces, and suck him down an industrial sewer-vac truck, because thats where s#*t belongs.

Gosnell, who ran his own abortion clinic, Women's Medical Society, in Philadelphia, is charged with first-degree murder in the deaths of seven infants born alive and viable but allegedly killed by him.

more here, but very difficult to read, and very sad (spoiler added for graphic nature):

Spoiler!

In a typical late-term abortion, the fetus is dismembered in the uterus and then removed in pieces. That is more common than the procedure opponents call "partial-birth abortion," in which the fetus is only partially extracted before being destroyed. Prosecutors said Gosnell instead delivered many of the babies alive.

He "induced labor, forced the live birth of viable babies in the sixth, seventh, eighth month of pregnancy and then killed those babies by cutting into the back of the neck with scissors and severing their spinal cord," District Attorney Seth Williams said.

Gosnell referred to the practice as "snipping," prosecutors said.

Prosecutors estimated Gosnell ended hundreds of pregnancies by cutting the spinal cords, but they said couldn't prosecute more cases because he destroyed files.

"These killings became so routine that no one could put an exact number on them," the grand jury report said. "They were considered 'standard procedure.'"

Our lawmakers have determined that women have the right to choose, we have to accept that, but in a case where an aborted fetus, comes out alive, and has a viable shot at life, do these women and these doctors still have the right to terminate that life? If the belief of pro lifers is, life does not exist inside the womb, and junior beats the odds, and makes it out in one piece, then what? What is the pro choice stance on this situation?

I have a friend that was born 3 months early and made it to a happy healthy adulthood, how, can anyone for the life of them, think a 6 or 7 month late term fetus, is not a living being? What is the pro choice stance on late term abortions? Very curious.
