Summary

Kermit Gosnell, the abortionist and serial killer who butchered and killed women and babies for 30 years, has died in prison.We broke the story in our Substack (linked below) on Monday, and we have devoted all of this week's podcast to covering his life and crimes and honoring his victims. It's an important story.We knew Gosnell well. We covered his trial in Philadelphia, interviewed him in prison, and had dozens of jailhouse phone calls while researching the book, podcast, and movie we produced about his life and crimes.Gosnell was convicted in 2013 of murdering three infants born alive during illegal late-term abortions, whom he then killed by cutting their spinal cords with scissors. Gosnell was also found guilty of killing 41-year-old Karnamaya Mongar, a refugee from Bhutan who died from a lethal overdose of anesthesia administered by unlicensed staff in his abortion clinic.When he died, Ann released a statement about meeting and talking with the monster that was Kermit Gosnell:“It was tough but it was a very, very important piece of journalism. Meeting Gosnell was one of the few times in my journalism career that I felt I was face to face with evil.“Gosnell is gone, but we should take time to think of the thousands of innocent babies who were his victims. They lived for a short period of time but must not be forgotten. They achieved some measure of justice with Gosnell’s prosecution and incarceration.“I think in particular of Baby Boy A, who was so big that even Gosnell’s workers were shocked by the barbarity of his killing and took a photo of him after he was murdered. He shook their hardened hearts. Baby Boy A lived for about an hour before he was killed. The picture of him curled up in a Tupperware container helped seal Gosnell’s fate and ensured he’d never kill again. That heartbreaking picture has also meant that I’m not the only one who will never forget Baby Boy A.“I’m also thinking of the two women who needlessly died in Gosnell’s diabolical clinic. Karnamaya Mongar, who came to this country as a refugee after living a life of danger in Bhutan. She came to America for refuge but four months later was dead at the hands of Gosnell.“And Semika Shaw, the young Black mother who tragically died after a botched abortion at the hands of Kermit Gosnell.“Their deaths were also caused because of bureaucratic incompetence and the liberal political imperative to shield abortion and abortionists from criticism.“These women were sacrificed for Progressive politics. Karnamaya Mongar and Semika Shaw were minorities in a city that claimed to care. It turns out Black Lives didn’t Matter after all.”This week, we look at the life and crimes of Kermit Gosnell with the man who put him behind bars. It’s an amazing episode that you won’t want to miss.. You can hear Gosnell’s voice defending the indefensible, along with interviews with his surviving victims and those who put him behind bars, in our top-ranking podcast on the case: Serial Killer: A True Crime Podcast (linked below).We also co-wrote and produced the movie about the case starring Dean Cain and directed by Nick Searcy.Links:To read our Substack article breaking the news of Gosnell’s death, click here: https://phelimmcaleer.substack.com/p/exclusive-kermit-gosnell-is-deadTo read the grand jury’s testimony from Gosnell’s trial, click here: https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/URLs_Cited/OT2015/15-274/15-274-1.pdfTo donate, please click here: https://unreportedstorysociety.com/To subscribe to our Stories.io Substack, please click here: https://phelimmcaleer.substack.com/To buy our book and learn more about the crimes of Kermit Gosnell, click here: https://www.amazon.com/Gosnell-Untold-Americas-Prolific-Serial/dp/1621578585/ref=monarch_sidesheet_titleTo Donate:https://secure.anedot.com/unreported-story-society/cf0cdeea5333b147798ffTo read our latest Substack article:https://tinyurl.com/5669t96h
