I can think of lots of words to describe Kermit Gosnell, “elegant” is most definitely not one of them.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A 2011 grand jury report on a busy West Philadelphia abortion clinic described patients being overmedicated, maimed and even killed during lax, long-unregulated procedures. […]

But she could make $120 on a busy Saturday, when Gosnell performed what he called “second trimester” cases and gave staff $20 per patient. Prosecutors charge that some of those procedures were illegal, third-term abortions.

Moton, 35, has been in prison since the indictment two years ago, and awaits sentencing for third-degree murder.

“I kept doing whatever I was told,” she told the jury last week.

That included cutting the necks of at least 10 babies after they were born. Gosnell told her it was standard procedure, she said.

Gosnell, an elegant man who appears serene in court, smiled softly as he listened to testimony last week, even that of a young woman who said she was hospitalized for two weeks after a 2009 abortion.
