Gosnell Worker: Baby surviving abortion struggled in toilet
trying to live

Long article – last day for
the prosecution
Kareema Cross worked for
Kermit Gosnell for a harrowing four years helping with abortion procedures amid
conditions so bad that she snapped photos to document them in 2008 — a year
before the death of Karnamaya Mongar — then reported her boss to the authorities
under a fictitious name.
But no one listened.
Two years later, authorities
raided Gosnell’s clinic thinking it was a pill mill only to discover that it
was frightfully so much more.
While she worked for
Gosnell, Cross testified that at least twice a day, six days a week, at least
two babies would “precipitate” or be birthed before Gosnell ever arrived. She
said “Dr. Steve,” Steven Massof, an unlicensed medical school graduate with a
ghoulish curiosity about abortions, would be there to snip the babies’ necks.
She saw him do it around 50 times. When babies “precipitated” in Gosnell’s
presence, he would do the dirty deed himself.
Once in Gosnell’s absence,
Cross saw a large baby delivered into the toilet. She saw his little arms and
legs moving in a swimming motion as he struggled to get out of the toilet bowl.
Cross held her hands 12-16 inches apart to demonstrate to the jury how big the
baby was. Adrienne Moton, who was the first worker to testify for the
prosecution, snipped the baby’s neck in front of the mother while she sat bleeding
into the toilet. Moton then took the body away and put it into a container.
Another photo taken by Cross showed two
shelves located above the same sink where Liz Hampton washed aborted baby
remains down a drain to be ground up in the garbage disposal. Crammed and
stacked onto the shelves were about 50 jars containing severed fetal feet
floating in liquid. Another photo showed a harrowing close-up of Gosnell’s
grisly collection.
There was a picture of an indescribably
filthy stainless steel sink where used plastic speculums and currettes were
supposedly washed for reuse. It was piled with dirty equipment and caked in a
thick layer of grime.
Other photos depicted bloody stains and
equipment that did not work, as well as Gosnell’s cat, sleeping on a chair.
Cross testified that the cat freely wandered throughout the clinic, even into
procedure rooms, and made a habit of relieving itself just about wherever it
wanted.
One patient was particularly memorable to
Cross. Her name was Shaquana Abrams. Cross knew she worked with a friend, and
after Abram’s abortion, the two kept in touch. Abrams was far advanced into her
pregnancy when she came to Gosnell for a two day procedure. No one was ever
told why she decided to end the life of her baby. Abrams had been heavily
sedated. As she lay sleeping on that filthy, torn table in the Monet room, the
biggest baby Cross had ever seen in her years with Gosnell “just came out.”
Cross again indicated with her hands that the baby was 12-18 inches long.
