Kermit Gosnell was an abortion doctor in Philadelphia who performed late-term abortions. In 2011, he was convicted of murder when it was revealed that he murdered babies who had survived the procedure. It's like a story straight out of a horror movie.

At the time of his trial, the media had to be dragged kicking and screaming to even cover the story.

Gosnell just died in prison at the age of 85. It's difficult to imagine who, if anyone, is mourning his loss.

Abortionist Kermit Gosnell Dies in Prison After Killing Thousands of Babies

Kermit Gosnell, the former Philadelphia abortionist convicted of first-degree murder in the brutal killings of three infants born alive during illegal late-term abortions at his notorious "house of horrors" clinic, has died in prison. He was 85.

Gosnell, who was serving three consecutive life sentences without the possibility of parole plus an additional 30 years on federal drug charges, died at SCI Huntingdon, according to sources familiar with the matter.

His cause of death was not immediately released, though he had reportedly been in declining health in recent years.

The news emerged publicly via pro-life journalist Ann McElhinney, who extensively covered his 2013 trial, interviewed him in prison, and co-authored a book on the case.

In her announcement, McElhinney described Gosnell as "the abortion doctor who is thought to have murdered thousands of babies in a 30 year killing spree" and called him "a chilling monster who could sometimes come across as charming."

She added: "Gosnell is gone, but we should take time to think of the thousands of innocent babies who were his victims. They lived for a short period of time but must not be forgotten. They achieved some measure of justice with Gosnell's prosecution and incarceration. I think in particular of Baby Boy A, who was so big that even Gosnell's workers were shocked by the barbarity of his killing and took a photo of him after he was murdered. … Baby Boy A lived for about an hour before he was killed."
