omg this is really, really dreadful the more that comes out.

Quote
The atrocities were discovered by accident.

Police last February raided Gosnell's offices after reports that he ran a "pill mill" there, giving out prescription medications to anyone who would pay.

Once inside the three-story brick building, they discovered horrors that would haunt them forever.

Semiconscious, moaning women sat in dirty recliners and on bloodstained blankets. The air reeked of urine from the flea-infested cats permitted to roam the clinic. There was blood on the floor and cat feces on the stairs. One investigator likened the scene to "a bad gas-station restroom."

In the patient areas, equipment was rusty, dirty and broken. Paramedics who were called to remove the patients during the police raid had trouble getting them out because clutter blocked the hallways and the emergency exit was padlocked shut.

But even worse horrors were hidden in the basement and staff-only areas.

Detectives found a row of jars containing just the severed feet of fetuses. Fetal remains filled bags, milk jugs, orange-juice cartons and even cat-food containers; some were stored in a refrigerator where staffers chilled their lunches. In all, authorities found the remains of 45 fetuses in this "baby charnel house" and gave them to the medical examiner, who determined that at least two of them had been born alive, according to the grand-jury report.

The scene was so filthy that grand jurors, visiting the clinic months later, wore hazardous-materials suits

I saw this last night on the 10.30 news, I saw in the comments that a young man lost his friend in the explosion, how awful for his family and friends.

... good times :(

What's wrong Tampa?  You don't appreciate how effortlessly I can pivot from gas explosions, severed fetal limbs, Stephen Dorff's chest hair and then double cooked pork belly in chili oil?

@ Ms. P:  I am simply in awe of your observational dexterity.  Although I have often observed this incredible skill you possess through your posts, I was, this time around, momentarily rendered speechless (or "typeless") given the events in Philadelphia.

I also have to say, although I have never met you in person, you remind me so much of my very close and dear cousin Rudee (since passed on).  That child could present a heady mix of word/pictures that circle, swoop down, mingle with context and fly off again like nobody's business!

AMG would be loads of fun in Philadelphia -- I could arrange the Meet & Greet at Upstairs at Risque (Jan would love the fireman revue and outfits!) with a supplementary upgrade package of pole dancing at Poise Dance.

New forecast models this morning show incoming snow ranging anywhere from 6" to 16"... NWS best to up their forecast.  I better go to the supermarket in a few hours before the crushing after work mayhem.

that whole abortion thing caught my eye last year, but when news came out this year of what was going on in that "clinic", i was disgusted and mortified.  It really sounded like something out of a "saw" film.  This fucker should get the death penalty.
