Abortion Doctor or Angel of Death? (Ben)

I've been following the Philadelphia abortion/murder story as it is a popular subject here in the Pennsylvania newspapers.

One of Kermit Gosnell's alleged patients has come forward with some pretty damning allegations.

She was just fifteen years old at the time.

According to the victim, she told the doctor she did not want an abortion, but that’s when things got physical. “That’s when he grabbed me and he started pulling off my clothes,” she says. “He did manage to get my clothes off and he managed to get me on the table. He would tie my arms down first and then tie my legs to the stirrups, that’s when he grabbed my leg and turned me to the side and began smacking me over and over again, the way you would a child”

The woman went on to explain that after striking her, Gosnell pulled out a needle.

“He injected a needle into my right arm and I said ‘I hope I die, so you regret this for the rest of your life.’”

She said she woke up 12 hours later and was no longer pregnant

There is no way to be certain this woman was a patient of Gosnell. Some may call into question why she only coming forward now. I would put forth the argument that since most of Gosnell’s patients were poor black woman that they had no real recourse. Let's say she went to the police, whose side do you think they would take? Would they side with the doctor or some impoverished fifteen year old girl?
