Woman who assisted Gosnell with abortions as a high school student testifies

Today's testimony in the Kermit Gosnell murder trial featured the testimony of Ashley Baldwin.  Baldwin starting working at Gosnell's abortion clinic when she was 15-years-old.  In her testimony she says she saw at least 5 infants killed after surviving abortions. 

Baldwin, now 22, and the mother of a two-year-old, today told a Philadelphia jury hearing Gosnell's murder trial of her unusual hands-on medical apprenticeship.

She also told of seeing at least five aborted babies moving, breathing and, in one case, "screeching," after procedures at Gosnells' Women's Medical Society clinic at 3801 Lancaster Ave.......
               
Starting out answering phones, Baldwin quickly moved up in the organization. By the time authorities raided the clinic in February 2010, Baldwin was going to school and working as much as 50 hours a week in the clinic, sometimes into the early morning.

Baldwin said she assisted Gosnell in abortions, applying pressure to the mother's abdomen, handing the doctor instruments and equipment.

She said she also saw Gosnell use scissors to "snip" the neck of newborns who were moving after the procedure.
