Dr. Kermit Gosnell allegedly made millions of dollars over 30 years performing as many illegal, late term abortions as he could according to prosecutors in Philadelphia. Grand jury findings allege that he made $10,000 to $15,000 a night performing these abortions.
Catering to minorities, immigrants, and poor women, Gosnell, 69, was charged with 8 counts of murder in the deaths of a patient and seven babies who were born alive and then killed with scissors prosecutors said Wednesday. Two employees of the clinic run by Gosnell were also charged with murder.
Prosecutors say that state regulators in Pennsylvania ignored complaints about Gosnell and had failed to inspect or visit his clinic since 1993.
