More horrific details here on Gosnell and his practice:

excerpt:
...Gosnells troubles actually reach back 38 years when he was involved in what became known as the super coil fiasco. To make a statement about abortion, a California abortion activist named Harvey Karman assembled 15 low-income women in their second trimester of pregnancy, and put them on a bus from Chicago to Philadelphia on Mothers Day weekend, 1972, where Gosnell would conduct experimental super coil abortions on them. Gosnell, who was operating an illegal abortion mill at the time, inserted plastic coils invented by Karman into the uteri of the pregnant women. The experiment went awry, and nine of the fifteen women suffered serious complications, including hemorrhage, infections, retained fetal body parts, a perforated uterus, and one hysterectomy.
omg, that paragraph brings tears to my eyes. What kind of monster does experiments on what I imagine to be young women who are quite desperate for help? I'm sure they trusted the 'doctor.'
