Gosnell's janitor testifies

On April 16, James Johnson testified in the trial of abortionist Kermit Gosnell.  His testimony revolved around the handyman work he would do for Gosnell, including unclogging the plumbing at Gosnell's clinic which would often become clogged with body parts of aborted children. 

Johnson worked as a janitor, maintenance man and plumber of sorts and he was the common-law husband of 51-year-old Elizabeth Hampton, who is herself Gosnell’s wife’s sister. He told jurors some of the morbid details that appear in the grand jury report — including how he threatened to quit working at the abortion clinic because he refused to pull any more flesh from aborted babies out of the plumbing.

His job was to collect abortion remains and take them to basement — but he eventually refused to participate and bags began piling up.

He told the jury toilets backed up one-two times a week and said he opened the outside clean out pipe and fetal parts such as babies’ arms came spilling out.
