Then what about the babies that were alive for 20 minutes before Gosnell finally snipped their spinal cords?
(CNSNews.com) –The defense attorney for Dr. Kermit Gosnell said it was “ludicrous” to claim that “a baby is born alive because it moves one time without any other movement” in court today in Philadelphia, where the judge threw out three of the murder charges against the abortion doctor.
“If we are going in this room to say a baby is born alive because it moves one time without any other movement, that is ludicrous,” defense attorney Jack McMahon said.
Although three of the murder charges were dismissed, Gosnell still faces five other murder charges and other criminal charges in the case.
Philadelphia Common Pleas Court Judge Jeffrey P. Minehart granted judgment of acquittal for the first-degree murder charges of three babies in the case, identified as “Baby B,” “Baby C,” and “Baby G.”
According to the grand jury report, Baby C was “moving and breathing for 20 minutes before an assistant came in and cut the spinal cord, just the way she had seen Gosnell do it so many times.”
