The Trial of Kermit Gosnell: The Shocking Details And What It Revealed About The Abortion Industry In America

by Cheryl Sullenger

When police raided the Women’s Medical Society, they thought that they were putting an end to a pill mill that was the largest supplier of illicit prescription painkillers in Philadelphia.   But once inside, police made the grisly discovery that Kermit Gosnell’s medical office was something much worse.

Police seized the bodies of 47 aborted babies – all with mysterious wounds across the backs of their necks.  They soon realized they had uncovered a “House of Horrors” where babies were routinely born alive during very late-term abortions amid unspeakable squalor, only to be brutally murdered.

Cheryl Sullenger attended Gosnell’s murder trial in Philadelphia in the spring of 2013. She relates shocking eye-witness revelations from the often-emotional testimony. And based on over three decades of experience researching abortion industry abuses, Sullenger also provides disturbing evidence that proves Gosnell is not alone.

[Cheryl Culp]

What a serial killer. They can’t keep him locked up long enough. A lot of gorey facts about him.

[Judith]

A horrifying, yet riveting account about what is REALLY involved in late-term abortion, and how the powers that profit obstruct investigation and correction. It's not about "choice"...become an informed citizen.

I picked up this book after watching the movie, Gosnell. I wanted to know the fact from fiction. This book was not what I expected. It did tell about the Gosnell trial from the perspective of a pro-life advocate. The author also included details of other abortion providers, many with similarities to Gosnell. I think what struck me the most from this book was that pro-choice arguments are made for women’s health, but the treatment many women received caused complications and sometimes death - sort of the opposite of health. I was surprised by the lack of choices offered to women from the pro-choice side and the lack of transparency around what the abortion procedure entailed. (How can you make an informed choice when you don’t know what is happening inside your body or what the procedure is, or any possible complications?) I was horrified to read about human remains being emptied into sinks, garbage disposals, and toilets. It was frustrating to read about the abortion providers who do not follow the law and the departments of health, the politicians, and the legal system who will not hold them accountable.

This book was eye opening and I am glad I read it. I did find some parts repetitive. There were also errors with some sentences incomplete or missing words. I read an electronic copy, so I don’t know if that accounts for the errors.

Absolutely horrifying. I had to periodically stop and take a break from reading due to the graphic nature of this book. It was deeply disturbing.

[Sarah]

Very valuable and well-researched, but there were tons and tons of typos. Sellinger really needed a better proofreader.
