Doctor's License Suspended in Philadelphia

In
Philadelphia, a physician overseeing an abortion clinic recently had his license suspended due to conditions at his facility. However, Dr. Kermit Gosnell claims that his clinic provided "the very best of responsive care."
When interviewed by a local news station, Dr. Gosnell told reporters that he offered "the same care that I would want my daughter to receive."
Yet, his medical license was suspended after state medical authorities alleged that a patient's death resulted from "deplorable" conditions at Gosnell's clinic. In 2002, a lawsuit was settled for the death of a woman who passed after receiving an abortion from the clinic. Sources say that the abortion was botched.
At this time, Gosnell is refusing to comment on his case. The doctor, who is 69 years old, has not been charged with any crimes to date. He told reporters that in time, he expects to be vindicated of the accusations.
