Two Workers Plead Guilty in Philadelphia Abortion Clinic Case

According to reports from the Associated Press, Andrea Morton and Sherry West, two employees of Dr. Kermit Gosnell's abortion clinic in West Philadelphia, pleaded guilty today to charges of third-degree murder and other charges related to several deaths resulting from horrific conditions at the now infamous clinic.

The two women reportedly had no relevant training or experience in medical procedures but assisted in performing abortions, ultrasound exams, administering anesthesia and monitoring patients.

Gosnell and and a total of nine employees were charged earlier this year when a grand jury report detailed the conditions at the clinic. According to the report, Gosnell allegedly performed illegal late-term abortions and babies who were born alive were killed by having scissors stabbed into their necks to sever their spinal cords. Philadelphia District Attorney Seth Williams called the clinic a "house of horrors" when announcing the charges.
