Kermit Gosnell: Doctor and Murderer

Neal Razzell reports for Assignment on the disturbing story of Dr. Kermit Gosnell who ran a women’s health clinic in Pennsylvania. He regularly carried out late-term abortions in the clinic and has recently been sentenced to life for the murder of three babies there.

The program contains graphic and deeply-disturbing accounts of how the clinic was run by Dr. Gosnell.

Why did it take so long for the authorities to find out what was going on in the clinic and what does it tell us about the healthcare options for poor women in the state of Pennsylvania?
