Ashley Baldwin, 22, has disturbing memories of “regular babies” being murdered at the Women’s Medical Society clinic in Philadelphia. Dr. Kermit Gosnell, 72, performed late-term abortions at the clinic and Baldwin, who started interning at the clinic at the age of 15 , witnessed the deaths of fetuses that could possibly have survived outside the womb. The mother of a 2-year-old, Baldwin dreamed of becoming a doctor.
“They just looked like regular babies …,” she recalls. Gosnell once said to her jokingly, “This baby is going to walk me home.” She witnessed at least five aborted fetus moving, breathing, and in once case, “screeching.”
The babies allegedly died after Gosnell cut their spinal cords with scissors. According to Baldwin, he used the scissors to “snip” the necks of newborns who moved once outside the womb. Other employees testified that as many as 100 babies were born alive and “snipped.”
Her mother, Tina Baldwin, 47, worked at the clinic and has plead guilty to racketeering, conspiracy and corrupting a minor — her daughter — in connection with the case.
